“The first quarter presented a challenging revenue environment for our industry and for BMC.

BMC Software maintained its strong financial position with cash flow from operations in the quarter of $90.1 million. The cash and marketable securities balance was $1.2 billion, and the total deferred revenue balance was $1.39 billion.
