CommerceHub Announces Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results
Total Revenue Grows 14%; 18% when Excluding Customers Acquired through Mercent Acquisition
ALBANY, NY, November 7, 2016 - CommerceHub (NASDAQ: CHUBA) (NASDAQ: CHUBK), a leading distributed commerce network for retailers and brands, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.
“We are pleased with the strong third quarter results we announced today, including continued revenue growth and profitability,” said Frank Poore, CommerceHub’s Founder, President and CEO. “Our existing customers continued their adoption of CommerceHub’s platform, and we expanded the size of our network with the addition of Dick’s Sporting Goods and a large number of their suppliers. In addition, our brand initiative, powered by the combined CommerceHub and Mercent platforms, continues to gain traction with the signing this quarter of an iconic multinational footwear brand, which joined our growing list of brand customers. These new customers demonstrate how retailers and brands are choosing CommerceHub to enable a significant portion of their online sales growth, which we believe positions us well to benefit from the long-term secular shift to the e-commerce channel.”
“Total revenue in the third quarter was up 14% year-over-year, or 18% when excluding revenue from customers acquired through the Mercent acquisition,” said Mark Greenquist, CommerceHub’s CFO. “We were also pleased with the strength of usage revenue from our core CommerceHub for Retailers offering, which grew 19% in the quarter.”

Important Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of our business strategy, market conditions and potential, customer growth, sales/distribution channel expansion, future financial performance and other matters that are not historical facts. These statements often include words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate” or similar expressions. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements inherently involve many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these statements, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the forward-looking statements contained herein are based upon reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors, including those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-210508), could affect our actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Where, in any forward-looking statement, we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release, and we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein, any change in our expectations with regard thereto, or any other change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this press release.
Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we provide non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain expenses and income. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations and exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements. We define “adjusted gross profit” as gross profit plus share-based compensation and acquisition-related intangible amortization. We define “adjusted gross margin” as adjusted gross profit divided by revenue. We define “adjusted operating expenses” as total operating expenses less share-based compensation and acquisition-related intangible amortization. We define “adjusted EBITDA” as net income or loss plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of capitalized software costs and intangible assets and share-based compensation, less interest income and income tax benefit. We define “adjusted net income” as net income or loss plus share-based compensation, acquisition-related intangible amortization and the tax effect of these adjustments. We define “adjusted earnings per diluted share” as earnings per diluted share plus the diluted per share effects of share-based compensation, acquisition-related intangible amortization and the tax effect of these adjustments. We define “free cash flow” as net cash provided by, or used in, operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and additions to capitalized software. Our management considers adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted operating expense, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow in reviewing our financial performance because we feel they are relevant measures of the overall efficiency of our business model. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and are not a substitute for GAAP results.
Certain adjustments used in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures are based on estimates and assumptions of management and do not purport to reflect actual historical results. In addition, you should be
aware when evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures that in the future we may incur expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. Our computation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies do not calculate such non-GAAP financial measures in the same fashion. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the closest comparable GAAP financial measures has been provided in the financial tables included at the end of this press release.
