SPS Commerce (SPSC), a leading provider of on-demand supply chain management solutions, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Revenue was $20.3 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $15.5 million in the third quarter of 2011, reflecting 31% growth in total revenue from the third quarter 2011. Recurring revenue grew 35% from the third quarter of 2011.

Net income in the third quarter of 2012 was $174,000 or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to net income of $177,000 or $0.01 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.10 in the third quarter of 2012, compared to non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.07 in the third quarter of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2012 was $2.2 million, compared to $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2011.

"We had another solid quarter both financially and strategically as we exceeded our financial guidance and expanded our product and customer footprint," said Archie Black, President and CEO of SPS Commerce. "This quarter we also expanded our market leadership with the acquisition of Edifice, which enables trading partners to share point-of-sale data to help manage supply chains. We believe the retail ecosystem is in the early stage of adopting real time analytics and Edifice gives us a significant competitive advantage. Moving forward, we will continue to invest in growth, nurture the thousands of leads within our network and innovate around our platform."

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $54.6 million, compared to $42.1 million for the comparable period in 2011. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $856,000 or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to net income of $560,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2011. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $0.30, compared to non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.18 for the comparable period in 2011. Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of this year was $6.4 million, compared to $3.8 million for the first nine months last year.

"We demonstrated strong execution this quarter with both revenue and adjusted EBITDA ahead of guidance," said Kim Nelson, Chief Financial Officer of SPS Commerce. "This quarter’s success was highlighted by 35% recurring revenue growth. We continue to see strength in our overall business and we’re pleased to announce that we’re raising full year revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance once again."

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 and income tax expense (benefit). 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.
