SPS Commerce Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2014 Financial Results

Company delivers 24% growth in recurring revenue over last year

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPS Commerce (Nasdaq:SPSC), a leading provider of cloud-based supply chain management solutions, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2014.

Revenue was $35.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $28.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, reflecting 27% growth in revenue from the fourth quarter 2013. Recurring revenue grew 28% from the fourth quarter of 2013.

Net income in the fourth quarter of 2014 was $854,000 or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to net income of $294,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.18, compared to non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.13 in the fourth quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2014 increased 33% to $5.0 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2013.

"2014 was another important year of growth for SPS Commerce. We experienced momentum across all areas of our business as we continued to take advantage of the shift toward omnichannel in the retail industry," said Archie Black, president and CEO of SPS Commerce. "This year, we continued to expand our network and furthered our international foothold through the acquisition of Australia-based Leadtec and the opening of our London office. We believe we have laid a strong foundation for the next phase of growth through our robust analytics solution, channel strategy and continued enhancements to our platform, and remain confident that we are well positioned to grow our market leadership."

Revenue for the full year ended December 31, 2014 was $127.9 million compared to $104.4 million for the full year ended December 31, 2013, reflecting 23% growth in revenue. Recurring revenue grew 24% from the year ended December 31, 2013.

Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 was $2.7 million or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.1 million or $0.07 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2013. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 was $0.65, compared to non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.53 for the comparable period in 2013. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year ended December 31, 2014 increased 32% to $18.2 million, compared to the full year ended December 31, 2013.

"SPS Commerce had a strong finish to another great year, with year-over-year recurring revenue growth of 24%," said Kim Nelson, CFO of SPS Commerce. "We are addressing a tremendous global opportunity and will continue to focus our efforts in 2015 on expanding our network by adding customers and capturing wallet share, while leveraging the tailwind provided by the retail industry's shift to omnichannel."

Guidance

For the first quarter of 2015, revenue is expected to be in the range of $35.7 to $36.2 million. First quarter net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.02 to $0.03 with fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 17 million shares. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.16 to $0.18. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $4.5 to $5.0 million. Non-cash, share-based compensation expense is expected to be approximately $1.6 million and amortization expense is expected to be approximately $800,000.

For the full year of 2015, revenue is expected to be in the range of $155 to $157 million, representing 21% to 23% growth over 2014. Full year net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.16 to $0.20 with fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 17 million shares. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.75 to $0.78. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $21 to $22 million. Non-cash, share-based compensation expense is expected to be approximately $6.7 million and amortization expense is expected to be approximately $3.2 million. Also for the year, we expect an annual effective tax rate of approximately 40%, with cash taxes for the year to be minimal.

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 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.
