SPS Commerce Reports First Quarter 2012 Financial Results

Apr 26, 2012

MINNEAPOLIS, April 26, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPS Commerce (Nasdaq:SPSC), a leading provider of on-demand supply chain management solutions, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Revenue was $16.5 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared to $12.6 million in the first quarter of 2011, reflecting 31% growth in revenue from the first quarter 2011. Recurring revenue grew 37% from the first quarter of 2011.

Net income in the first quarter of 2012 was $256,000 or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to net income of $492,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.09, compared to non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.06 in the first quarter of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2012 was $1.9 million, compared to $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2011.

"One of our primary objectives in 2012 is to expand our presence across customers of all sizes and we saw solid evidence of that occurring in the first quarter," said Archie Black, President and CEO of SPS Commerce. "We benefit from two key business foundations that are helping us achieve this success. First, SPSCommerce.net meets the needs of both small and large enterprises. And second, we have an existing ecosystem of channel partners, which combined with our enterprise sales force gives us a powerful go-to-market team without needing to build a new organization. The growth in large enterprise customers is a driving force behind our increase in recurring revenue per recurring revenue customer this quarter. We believe we're well positioned with suppliers of all sizes and our solutions are at the forefront of the favorable market trends, as evidenced by our results this quarter."

"We had a strong start to the year highlighted by 37% recurring revenue growth," said Kim Nelson, Chief Financial Officer. "Due to the continued strength we're seeing in our overall business and a very healthy enablement pipeline, we're pleased to announce that we're raising our full year revenue guidance."

Guidance

For the second quarter of 2012, revenue is expected to be in the range of $17.4 million to $17.7 million, representing growth of 25% to 27% compared to the second quarter of 2011.

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 and income tax expense. 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.
