Q2 2015 Financial Results

Revenue in the second quarter of 2015 increased 64% to $1.0 million from $609,000 in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was driven by growing adoption of the company’s Select Mobile and Select Business RDC solutions.

 

Recurring revenue from the company’s RDC products increased 78% to $799,000 (80% of revenue) in the second quarter of 2015 from $448,000 (74% of total revenue) in the same year-ago period.

At quarter-end, the company had a deferred revenue balance of $1.3 million, which was up from $1.1 million at the end of the prior quarter.

At the end of the second quarter of 2015, the company’s total cumulative contract value increased 57% to a record $63.6 million from $40.5 million in the same year-ago period, with nearly the entire amount representing recurring revenue versus one-time setup or hosting fees. The company defines cumulative contract value as the estimated aggregate 36-month revenue potential of product and service contracts that the company signed with bank and credit union customers over the trailing 24-month period.

 

Billings, defined as the dollar amount of invoices sent to customers, totaled a record $1.2 million, an increase of 33% from $916,100 in the prior quarter and increased 70% from $621,200 in Q2 2014.

 

Cost of revenues in the second quarter of 2015 totaled $975,000 (97% of revenue), compared to $717,000 (118% of revenue) in the same year-ago period. The increase was primarily due to higher personnel costs to support the overall increase in the company’s products deployed.

 

Gross profit in the second quarter of 2015 was $26,000 versus a gross loss of $(108,000) in the same year-ago period.

 

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2015 decreased 14% or $427,000 from the prior quarter and increased 1% over the same year-ago quarter. The decrease was due to lower outside contractor fees and professional fees associated with the company’s annual audit.

 

Net loss attributable to common stockholders in the second quarter of 2015 totaled $8.9 million or $0.36 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.2 million or $0.65 per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA loss (a non-GAAP term defined as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and non-recurring items) for the second quarter of 2015 totaled $2.1 million compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.3 million in the same year-ago period (see further discussion about the use of adjusted EBITDA, below).

 

Non-GAAP loss for the second quarter of 2015 totaled $2.4 million or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, compared to a non-GAAP loss of $2.6 million or $0.40 per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago period.

 

Management Commentary

“Q2 was another record quarter for Cachet,” said the company’s CEO Jeffrey Mack. “We continued to build upon our operational momentum and made significant progress executing on our growth plan. This was demonstrated by several records achieved during the quarter, including recurring revenue, transactions, billings as well as products sold.

 

“These achievements also reflect our ongoing success upselling and cross-selling our expanding customer base of more than 400 bank and credit unions. In fact, of the record 52 new products sold during Q2, 13 were sold to nine of our existing customers. This reveals the abundant opportunity we have to upsell and cross-sell existing customers with our expanding product suite.

 

“We entered the second half of 2015 on strong footing, with a robust product suite, expanding pipeline of new business, and an optimized expense structure. We remain focused on executing on our plan to capitalize on the fast growing, billion dollar mobile banking and payment markets. Our significant investments in our technology platform have allowed us to automate processes and achieve scale more efficiently. This will allow us to drive incremental revenue and gain market share by expanding our product portfolio, growing our internal sales resources, building our reseller network, and cross selling and upselling our products.

 

“Our continued success operationally will drive our financial goals, which include growing our topline, expanding recurring revenue and a goal of achieving cash flow profitability by the end of 2015.”

Use of Non-GAAP Information

In evaluating the Company’s financial performance and operating trends, management considers information concerning the Company’s net sales, adjusted gross margins, adjusted operating expenses, and adjusted EBITDA, among other items, which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America. The Company’s management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide supplemental information that facilitates comparisons to prior periods and for the evaluation of financial results.  Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its financial results, develop budgets and manage expenditures.  The method the Company uses to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP, is likely to differ from the methods used by other companies and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding GAAP measures.  Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results, which is attached to this release and can also be found on the Company’s website at www.cachetfinancial.com.
