N. Robert Hammer, CommVaults chairman, president and CEO stated, “The biggest issue that negatively impacted the quarter was the timing of deal flow with several large deals moving into the second quarter. Our quarterly results were not affected by the macro economic climate. Even with a few large deals falling into the second quarter, our overall sales funnel has increased significantly. As a result of the underlying strength of our business, we are raising our guidance for fiscal 2009.”
