MINNEAPOLIS, July 23, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPS Commerce (Nasdaq:SPSC), a leading provider of cloud-based supply chain management solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Revenue was $38.8 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared to $31.1 million in the second quarter of 2014, reflecting 25% growth in revenue from the second quarter 2014. Recurring revenue grew 26% from the second quarter of 2014.

Net income in the second quarter of 2015 was $651,000 or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to net income of $639,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.18, compared to non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.16 in the second quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2015 increased 11% to $5.0 million, compared to the second quarter of 2014.

"We had a great first half of the year as we remain focused on the multibillion dollar market opportunity in front of us, by addressing consumers' demand for an omnichannel buying experience," said Archie Black, President and CEO of SPS Commerce. "As larger suppliers and retailers drive increased collaboration throughout the industry, we expect to continue moving upmarket and look forward to advancing our leadership position within the supply chain world."

"SPS Commerce had a strong second quarter, highlighted by 26% recurring revenue growth," said Kim Nelson, Chief Financial Officer. "Given our performance and the opportunity we see ahead, we believe we are well positioned to continue executing against our growth plan by adding customers and increasing wallet share in the second half of the year."

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.
