MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 27, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPS Commerce (NASDAQ:SPSC), a leader in retail cloud services, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Revenue was $49.3 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $40.4 million in the third quarter of 2015, reflecting 22% growth in revenue from the third quarter 2015. Recurring revenue grew 22% from the third quarter of 2015.

Net income in the third quarter of 2016 was $2.5 million or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2015. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.27, compared to non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.22 in the third quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2016 increased 20% to $7.4 million, compared to the third quarter of 2015.

“SPS Commerce had a solid quarter,” said Archie Black, President and CEO of SPS Commerce. “Omnichannel retail trends have placed tremendous pressure on the retail ecosystem causing retailers and suppliers to seek solutions that enable them to swiftly optimize inventory across multiple channels.  SPS Commerce enables an unparalleled level of supply chain visibility, agility and collaboration and the evolution to omnichannel commerce continues to drive our success.” 

“We executed well in the third quarter as we continued to add customers and grow wallet share within our network,” said Kim Nelson, Chief Financial Officer. “We are excited about our prospects as we go after the multibillion opportunity ahead of us and expand our market leadership.”

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.

Recent Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations published by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in May 2016 (the “May C&DI”) related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures discuss companies including an additional adjustment to non-GAAP income to reflect the income tax effects of the adjustments to GAAP net income, as discussed above. In reporting non-GAAP income results for the third quarter of 2016, as well as SPS Commerce’s non-GAAP income guidance for the fourth quarter and full year of 2016, SPS Commerce has elected to calculate non-GAAP income consistent with its historical practice, without the tax adjustment discussed in the May C&DI. SPS Commerce believes that maintaining consistency with its historical practice, as well as SPS Commerce’s original 2016 financial outlook, better allows SPS Commerce’s investors to evaluate financial performance. SPS Commerce is evaluating the best way to revise its disclosure in accordance with the May C&DI while providing consistency to investors by Q1 2017.
