SPS Commerce Reports First Quarter 2014 Financial Results

Company Delivers 22% Revenue Growth and 23% Recurring Revenue Growth Over 2013

MINNEAPOLIS, April 24, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPS Commerce, Inc. (Nasdaq:SPSC), a leading provider of on-demand supply chain management solutions, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Revenue in the first quarter of 2014 was $28.9 million, a 22% increase from the first quarter of 2013. Recurring revenue grew 23% from the first quarter of 2013.

Net income in the first quarter of 2014 was $373,000 or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to net income of $199,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.14, compared to non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.12 in the first quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2014 increased 34% to $3.9 million, compared to the first quarter of 2013.

"We had a great start to the year," said Archie Black, President and CEO of SPS Commerce. "We sit at the forefront of the omnichannel evolution as retailers seek to deliver a seamless experience for consumers across multiple channels.

We will remain focused on execution, while continuing to innovate around our platform and take advantage of our powerful network effect."

"We continue to execute across all areas of our business, highlighted by 23% recurring revenue growth," said Kim Nelson, Chief Financial Officer. "We have a large market opportunity in front of us and we'll continue to make investments in the business while also demonstrating incremental margin expansion."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its financial statements, SPS Commerce also provides investors with Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income per share, which are non-GAAP financial measures. SPS Commerce believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations. SPS Commerce's management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the company's performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and planning purposes. It uses Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of determining executive and senior management incentive compensation. These measures are also presented to the company's board of directors.

EBITDA consists of net income plus depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, income tax (benefit) expense and other adjustments as necessary for a fair presentation. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA plus non-cash, stock-based compensation expense. SPS Commerce uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance because it assists the company in comparing performance on a consistent basis, as it removes from operating results the impact of the company's capital structure. SPS Commerce believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating the company's operating performance because it is widely used to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets, and to present a meaningful measure of corporate performance exclusive of the company's capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.

Non-GAAP net income per share consists of net income plus non-cash, stock-based compensation expense and amortization expense related to intangible assets divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. SPS Commerce believes non-GAAP net income per share is useful to an investor because it is widely used to measure a company's operating performance.

These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the company's financial statements and are subject to inherent limitations. SPS Commerce urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures that are included in this press release.
