MODEL N ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER OF

FISCAL YEAR 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

Redwood City, CA – Model N, Inc., (NYSE: MODN), the leading provider of cloud-based Revenue Management solutions to life science, technology and manufacturing companies, today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2016, which ended June 30, 2016.

 

“Model N’s total revenue and profitability exceeded our guidance for the third quarter fiscal year 2016.  In addition, we saw continued strength in our recurring SaaS and Maintenance revenue which grew 49% year over year and represented 82% of this quarter’s total revenue,” said Edward Sander, Chief Executive Officer of Model N.  

 

Sander continued, “While I am pleased with the revenue and profitability results we delivered this quarter, I am not pleased with our execution in the face of challenges we recently experienced that will impact our guidance for the 2016 fiscal year and reduce our growth for the 2017 fiscal year.  Nevertheless, we are encouraged by the demand we continue to see from new and existing customers for our cloud-based Revenue Management solutions and believe that we are well-positioned for growth in the years ahead.”

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This press release contains forward-looking statements including, among other things, statements regarding Model N’s fourth quarter and full year fiscal year 2016 revenue and other financial results as well as growth for fiscal year 2017. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. Risks include, but are not limited to: (i) delays in closing customer contracts; (ii) our ability to improve and sustain our sales execution; (iii) the timing of new orders and the associated revenue recognition; (iv) adverse changes in general economic or market conditions; (v) delays or reductions in information technology spending and resulting variability in customer orders from quarter to quarter; (vi) competitive factors, including but not limited to pricing pressures, industry consolidation, entry of new competitors and new applications and marketing initiatives by our competitors; (vii) our ability to manage our growth effectively; and (viii) acceptance of our applications and services by customers; (ix) success of new products; (x) the risk that the strategic initiatives that we may pursue will not result in significant future revenues; and (xi) our ability to retain customers. Further information on risks that could affect Model N’s results is included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, and any current reports on Form 8-K that we may file from time to time. Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could differ materially from expectations. Model N assumes no obligation to, and does not currently intend to, update any such forward-looking statements after the date of this release.



 

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We have provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

 

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures below. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.

 

Our reported results include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net (loss) income per share, and adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP gross profit excludes stock-based compensation expense, LeapFrogRX compensation charges, acquisition & integration related expenses and amortization of intangible assets. Non-GAAP loss from operations and non-GAAP net loss exclude stock-based compensation expense, LeapFrogRX compensation charges, amortization of intangible assets, certain legal expenses and acquisition & integration related expenses as they are often excluded by other companies to help investors understand the operational performance of their business and, in the case of stock-based compensation, can be difficult to predict. In addition, stock-based compensation expense varies from period to period and company to company due to such things as differing valuation methodologies and changes in stock price.  Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss, adjusted for LeapFrogRX compensation charges, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, certain legal expenses, acquisition & integration related expenses, interest income and other (income) expenses, net, and provision for income taxes.  Reconciliation tables are provided in this press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Model N uses non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA, gross profit, loss from operations, net loss, weighted average shares outstanding and net loss per share, which are adjusted to exclude LeapFrogRx compensation charges, certain legal expenses, Channel Insight acquisition related costs, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and includes dilutive shares where applicable. We believe these adjustments are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance and also our prospects for the future. These adjustments to our current period GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of Model N’s underlying operating results and trends and our marketplace performance. The non-GAAP results are an indication of our baseline performance that are considered by management for the purpose of making operational decisions. In addition, these non-GAAP results are the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating loss, net loss or basic and diluted net loss per share prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and are subject to limitations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While a large component of our expense in certain periods, we believe investors may want to exclude the effects of these items in order to compare our financial performance with that of other companies and between time periods:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(a) Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Stock-based compensation expenses are excluded from our non-GAAP results because stock-based compensation amounts are difficult to forecast due in part to the volume, timing and terms of restricted stock grants and the volatility of our common stock. We believe that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides for a better comparison of our operation results to prior periods and to our peer companies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(b) Amortization of intangible assets resulted principally from acquisitions. Intangible asset amortization is a non-cash item. As such, we believe exclusion of these expenses provides for a better comparison of our operation results to prior periods and to our peer companies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(c) In January 2012, we acquired LeapFrog Rx for initial cash consideration of $3.0 million as well as potential additional payments to former LeapFrogRx shareholders totaling up-to $8.3 million which are expected to be incurred through January 2015. These additional payments are, among other things, subject to future continued employment and are therefore considered compensatory in nature and are being recognized as compensation expense (LeapFrogRx compensation charges) over the term of each component. We believe that the exclusion of these expenses provides for a better comparison of our operation results to prior periods and to our peer companies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(d) Legal expense is for the securities class action lawsuits filed in September 2014 and January 2015. We believe that the exclusion of these legal expenses provides for a better comparison of our operation results to prior periods and to our peer companies.

 

(e) In October 2015, we acquired Channel Insight for a cash consideration of $12.6 million, as part of the acquisition, we incurred certain non-recurring integration costs and purchase price adjustments. We believe that exclusion of these acquisition related adjustments and costs provides for a better comparison of our operation results to prior periods and to our peer companies.
