Q2 2016 Financial and Operational Highlights

Q2 2016 Performance Indicators

Q2 2016 Financial Results

Revenue in the second quarter of 2016 increased 100% to a record $2.0 million from $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2015. The improvement was driven by an increase in the number of transactions and an increase in the number of product and product enhancement deployments completed in the quarter. The improvement was also due, in part, to an increase in recurring revenue from the company’s Select Mobile Money products.

Recurring revenue from the company’s RDC and Select Mobile Money products increased 79% to a record $1.5 million (73.5% of revenue) in the second quarter of 2016 from $824,000 (82.3% of total revenue) in the second quarter of 2015.

Cost of revenue in the second quarter of 2016 totaled $1.5 million (72.7% of revenue), compared to $1.0 million (97.4% of revenue) in the second quarter of 2015.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2016 increased 7% to $2.7 million from $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2015, driven primarily by additional hires to upgrade the company’s sales force.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders in the second quarter of 2016 totaled $4.1 million or $(1.46) per basic share, compared to a net loss of $8.9 million or $(5.47) per basic share in the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to improved operational performance and a decrease in certain non-cash charges.

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 2016 totaled $1.7 million, an improvement from an adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.1 million in the same year-ago period (see further discussion about the use of adjusted EBITDA, below).

Management Commentary

“Q2 was a record quarter for us across the board,” said Cachet Financial Solutions’ CEO Jeffrey Mack. “Our revenue doubled year-over-year to slightly over $2.0 million, crossing this threshold for the first time. We deployed more products in Q2 than in any prior quarter, and continued to see a year-over-year increase in recurring revenue, number of transactions, and total products sold. We were able to sell more products in Q2 than we have sold in any prior quarter due to our sales initiatives and expanded product portfolio. Our prepaid programs, in particular, led the way with key wins from Rapid Financial and Dollar Financial, the latter of which marks our first ever entry into the Canadian market.”

“Given our progress with bringing some of our current clients live and new clients into the pipeline, we believe we continue to be on track to meet our 2016 revenue guidance of $8 to $10 million, which reflects a revenue growth rate of 84% to 132% compared to 2015. We expect our recurring revenue will continue to increase during the second half of 2016, and possibly resulting in our total recurring revenue for 2016 to double compared to 2015.”

“In summary, Q2 has been an overall record-breaking quarter. We made several advancements in some of our product lines and customer relationships in order to grow our business further. Our operational success moving forward will be measured to a great extent by our ability to further penetrate our existing customer base and bring new customers into the pipeline. It will also be measured by our ability to leverage our relatively fixed cost structure to drive recurring revenue growth and achieve cash flow profitability.”

“Altogether, we believe our RDC offerings will continue to demonstrate considerable growth and our prepaid mobile money solutions will help us achieve an increasing market share in this significant and rapidly growing space. Finally, with our industry-leading products, we believe we are well-positioned to become the leading provider of mobile deposit, mobile payment and prepaid mobile money solutions.”

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.
