“First quarter financial results were at or above the high end of the guidance ranges for the third quarter in a row. We continued to generate high average selling prices to new customers in addition to healthy cross-selling to existing customers. On the operations front, we enhanced our go-to-market strategy to enhance recurring revenue retention rates, and we completed the development work associated with our latest software update that we released earlier this month,” said Stephen Wiehe, Chief Executive Officer of SciQuest. “Looking forward, we are on-track to achieve all of our previously communicated goals for the year and beyond, including those related to growing revenue and increasing our already healthy profitability.”

ENDNOTES

1. Non-GAAP revenues exclude the purchase accounting deferred revenue adjustment. The most recent period in which SciQuest generated non-GAAP revenues was the third quarter of 2015.
   
2. Non-GAAP income from operations excludes the purchase accounting deferred revenue adjustment; stock-based compensation; the amortization of (i) intangible assets and (ii) acquired software; and, when applicable: (i) acquisition related costs and (ii) headquarter relocation costs.
   
3. Adjusted EBITDA deducts from net income the purchase accounting deferred revenue adjustment; stock-based compensation; depreciation and amortization; income tax; total other expenses, net; and, when applicable: (i) acquisition related costs and (ii) headquarter relocation costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by non-GAAP revenue or GAAP revenue if there is no purchase accounting deferred revenue adjustment in the period.
   
4. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share exclude the purchase accounting deferred revenue adjustment; stock-based compensation; the amortization of (i) intangible assets and (ii) acquired software; and, when applicable: (i) acquisition related costs and (ii) headquarter relocation costs. Non-GAAP net income includes the burden of the tax effect related to these excluded items.
   
5. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less (i) the purchase of property and equipment and (ii) capitalization of software development costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

SciQuest provides all information required in accordance with GAAP, but believes evaluating its ongoing operating results may not be as useful if an investor is limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, SciQuest presents non-GAAP financial measures when reporting its financial results to provide investors with additional tools to evaluate SciQuest’s operating results in a manner that focuses on what SciQuest believes to be its ongoing business operations and what SciQuest uses to evaluate its ongoing operations for internal planning and forecasting purposes. SciQuest’s management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. SciQuest’s management believes it is useful for itself and investors to review, as applicable, both GAAP information that includes: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) stock-based compensation; (iii) purchase accounting deferred revenue adjustment; (iv) other significant items, when applicable; and (v) the beneficial income tax effect related to these included items; and the non-GAAP measures that exclude such information in order to assess the performance of SciQuest’s business and for planning and forecasting in subsequent periods. Whenever SciQuest uses such a non-GAAP financial measure, it provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure to the extent possible. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as detailed herein.
