SPS Commerce Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2015 Financial Results

Company Delivers 25% Growth in Recurring Revenue Over 2014

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 03, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPS Commerce, Inc. (Nasdaq: SPSC), a leading provider of cloud-based supply chain management solutions, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year quarter ended December 31, 2015.

Revenue was $42.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $35.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, reflecting 20% growth in revenue from the fourth quarter of 2014. Recurring revenue grew over 20% from the fourth quarter of 2014.

Net income in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $2.1 million or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to net income of $854,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2014. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.27, compared to non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.18 in the fourth quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased 33% to $6.7 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2014.

“2015 was another great year for SPS Commerce as the combination of our business momentum and solid execution enabled us to deliver strong results throughout the year,” said Archie Black, President and CEO of SPS Commerce.  “We continued to take advantage of the opportunities created by the proliferation of omnichannel in the retail industry in 2015, as we grew our network and deepened our relationships with suppliers and retailers.  The need for collaboration among trading partners is more important than ever before and we are excited about our prospects as we go after the multibillion opportunity ahead of us and expand our market leadership.”

Revenue for the full year ended December 31, 2015 was $158.5 million compared to $127.9 million for the full year ended December 31, 2014, reflecting 24% growth in revenue.  Recurring revenue grew 25% from the year ended December 31, 2014.

Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was $4.6 million or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.7 million or $0.16 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2014. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was $0.84, compared to non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.65 for the comparable period in 2014. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year ended December 31, 2015 increased 25% to $22.6 million, compared to the full year ended December 31, 2014.

“SPS Commerce experienced another strong year with 25% recurring revenue growth over 2014,” said Kim Nelson, Chief Financial Officer. “As we look to 2016, we will leverage the omnichannel evolution in the retail industry to continue to add customers and capture more wallet share within our network. We look forward to extending our market leadership as we go after the tremendous global opportunity in front of us.”

Guidance

For the first quarter of 2016, revenue is expected to be in the range of $44.5 million to $45.0 million.  First quarter net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.02 to $0.04 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 $0.20 to $0.22.  Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $5.4 million to $5.9 million.  Non-cash, share-based compensation expense is expected to be approximately $1.9 million, depreciation expense is expected to be approximately $1.8 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 $191.5 million to $193.0 million, representing approximately 21% to 22% growth over 2015.

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.
