Guidance for full-year 2011:
VASCO is revising its guidance for the full-year 2011 as follows:
·         Expected revenue growth of more than 40% for the full-year 2011 over full-year 2010, as compared to expected full-year revenue growth of more than 20% announced at the end of the first quarter of 2011; and
·         Operating margins, excluding expenses related to the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, for full-year 2011 are projected to be in the range of 8% to 12% of revenue, no change from guidance previously announced, but are expected to be at the lower end of the range.


"The second quarter of 2011 continued to show strong revenue growth from our traditional businesses," stated T. Kendall Hunt, Chairman & CEO.  "Revenues in the second quarter of 2011 were the highest in the company's history, reflecting strong growth from the banking market partially offset by a decline in revenues from the enterprise and application security market.   We expect to report strong revenue growth for full-year 2011 over 2010.  We believe that our strong order intake, which includes a significant number of orders scheduled to ship and invoice in 2011 and beyond, is an important and concrete sign that our business is gaining momentum.  We also continued to invest in our DIGIPASS as a Service product line.  The addition of Google™ Apps to our platform was a significant addition and we continue to work on integrating other important SAAS applications into our platform."

"In addition to our strong order intake, we have a strong pipeline of potential new orders and we expect that we will experience continued strong revenue growth in the second half of the year, driven primarily by the performance of the banking sector," stated Jan Valcke, VASCO's President and COO. "We also believe that our non-banking business will improve as a result of programs designed to support our reseller channel and their efforts.  With the projected strong growth in revenues from the banking market in 2011, which includes high volume transactions with lower average selling prices, we expect our gross margins as a percentage of revenue will continue to be below the comparable quarters of 2010.  Looking forward, we believe that as the performance from our non-banking business improves and our services strategy gains traction, our gross margins will improve."
