SPS Commerce Reports First Quarter 2016 Financial Results

Company delivers 25% growth in recurring revenue over 2015

MINNEAPOLIS, April 21, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPS Commerce, Inc. (Nasdaq:SPSC), a leader in retail cloud services, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Revenue was $45.6 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $37.0 million in the first quarter of 2015, reflecting 23% growth in revenue from the first quarter of 2015. Recurring revenue grew 25% from the first quarter of 2015.

Net income in the first quarter of 2016 was $1.0 million or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to net income of $586,000 or $0.03 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2015. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.22, compared to non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.17 in the first quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2016 increased 27% to $6.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2015.

“Our financial results for the first quarter marked a strong start to the year,” said Archie Black, President and CEO of SPS Commerce. “Today, the only way to meet the demands of the consumer and build loyalty is through a more agile supply chain.  Our business success continues to be driven by the ever-expanding adoption of omnichannel strategies as we work as a strategic advisor to both retailers and suppliers to help them grow their businesses and stay ahead of the competitive curve.”

“We executed across all fronts in the first quarter, adding customers and increasing wallet share,” said Kim Nelson, CFO of SPS Commerce.  “Looking to the rest of the year, we will continue to go after the large market opportunity ahead of us while working to expand our market leadership.”

Guidance

For the second quarter of 2016, revenue is expected to be in the range of $46.7 million to $47.2 million.  Second quarter net income per diluted share is expected to be approximately breakeven with fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 17.3 million shares.  Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.19 to $0.20.  Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $5.1 million to $5.6 million.  Non-cash, share-based compensation expense is expected to be approximately $2.2 million, depreciation expense is expected to be approximately $1.9 million and amortization expense is expected to be approximately $1.2 million.

For the full year of 2016, revenue is expected to be in the range of $192.1 million to $193.6 million, representing approximately 21% to 22% growth over 2015. Full year net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.18 to $0.21 with fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 17.3 million shares.  Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.93 to $0.95. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $25.7 to $26.5 million. Non-cash, share-based compensation expense is expected to be approximately $8.5 million, depreciation expense is expected to be approximately $7.5 million and amortization expense is expected to be approximately $4.8 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, amortization expense related to intangible assets and other adjustments as necessary for a fair presentation 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.
