SPS Commerce Reports Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Jul 27, 2017

MINNEAPOLIS, July 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPS Commerce, Inc. (NASDAQ:SPSC), a leader in retail cloud services, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.  

Revenue was $54.3 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared to $47.4 million in the second quarter of 2016, reflecting 15% growth in revenue from the second quarter 2016. Recurring revenue grew 16% from the second quarter of 2016.

Net income in the second quarter of 2017 was $1.8 million or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to net income of $352,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP income per diluted share was $0.23, compared to non-GAAP income per diluted share of $0.15 in the second quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP income per diluted share now reflects an adjustment for the tax effects of the add-back of share-based compensation and the amortization of intangibles to non-GAAP income. Detail on retrospective tax effects on non-GAAP income for historical periods that were originally presented without this adjustment can be found on the financial data sheet posted at investors.spscommerce.com.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2017 increased 35% to $7.7 million, compared to the second quarter of 2016.

"We had a great second quarter and the increasing need for retailers and suppliers to adopt truly omnichannel strategies continues to drive our success," said Archie Black, President and CEO of SPS Commerce. "The SPS Commerce network empowers retailers and suppliers to reach the greatest number of consumers and remain competitive by enabling them to communicate and collaborate in real time to address changing consumer demands and increasingly complex omnichannel strategies.  We look forward to leveraging our retail expertise and broad network to extend our market leadership." 

"In the second quarter, we continued to execute on our growth strategy of expanding our network and increasing wallet share," said Kim Nelson, CFO of SPS Commerce.  "As the retail industry increasingly adopts omnichannel strategies, we will continue to go after the multibillion opportunity in front of us."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its financial statements, SPS Commerce also provides investors with Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP 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.

Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, income tax expense, stock-based compensation expense and other adjustments as necessary for a fair presentation. 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 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 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.
