AUSTIN, Texas – July 11, 2006 - Perficient, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRFT), a leading information technology consulting firm serving Global 2000 and other large enterprise customers throughout the United States, announced today that it is raising its revenue guidance for the second quarter of 2006.
The Company expects its Q2 services and software revenue, including reimbursed expenses, to be in the range of $36.6 million to $37.7 million, comprised of $34.4 million to $35.1 million of revenue from services including reimbursed expenses and $2.2 million to $2.6 million of revenue from sales of software.
The revised guidance range of services revenue including reimbursed expenses would represent services revenue growth of 81% to 86% over the second quarter of 2005. This revised revenue guidance compares to the previous guidance range of $31.0 million to $32.8 million including reimbursed expenses (which included $600,000 to $800,000 of revenue from sales of software) provided in the first quarter 2006 earnings release and conference call on May 3, 2006.
“Organic growth continued to accelerate in Q2,” said Jack McDonald, Perficient’s chairman and chief executive officer. “Utilization rates are high and we’re adding billable resources to address our existing project backlog and pipeline. It’s worth noting that our Q2 revised guidance range includes only one month’s revenue -- approximately $1.4 million -- from Insolexen, the firm we acquired on May 31st.”
