SciQuest Announces Third Quarter Financial Results


Exceeds Revenue Guidance

Advances Sales Transformation

Drives Operational Integration Progress

CARY, N.C., Nov. 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SciQuest, Inc. (Nasdaq:SQI), a leading provider of cloud-based business automation solutions for spend management, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Stephen Wiehe, President and Chief Executive Officer of SciQuest, said, "The third quarter was characterized by good execution, strong results and advancement against our strategic priorities. We drove the sales transformation forward while attracting new customers, generating healthy cross-selling and rebuilding sales momentum. These efforts contributed to non-GAAP revenue that exceeded the top end of the guidance range and increased 33 percent from a year ago. They also helped drive non-GAAP EPS to the high end of expectations. Meanwhile, operational integration of CombineNet, which we acquired on August 30th, is on track, and we are pleased with the initial levels of customer interest in the rest of our software suite. As a result, we are well positioned for success in the fourth quarter and beyond, including progress towards our long-term revenue growth and profitability targets."

Third Quarter 2013 Results

SciQuest reported GAAP revenues of $22.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 compared to $17.2 million in the third quarter of 2012.

GAAP loss from operations in the third quarter of 2013 was $1.8 million compared to GAAP loss from operations of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2012. GAAP net loss was $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to GAAP net income of $0.7 million in the same quarter in the prior year. The primary drivers of the decline from 2012 were the expected impacts of the acquisitions.

GAAP basic net loss per share was $0.10 in the third quarter of 2013 based on 23.1 million average basic shares outstanding. GAAP diluted net income per share in the third quarter of 2012 was $0.03 based on 22.7 million average diluted shares outstanding.

Non-GAAP revenues(1) in the third quarter of 2013 were $23.5 million, up 33% from the prior year.

Non-GAAP income from operations(2) in the third quarter of 2013 was $3.6 million compared to $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP net income(3) in the third quarter of 2013 was $2.2 million compared to $1.4 million in the same quarter in the prior year.

Non-GAAP diluted net income per share(3) was $0.09 in the third quarter of 2013 based on 23.5 million average diluted shares outstanding. Based on 22.7 million average diluted shares outstanding, non-GAAP diluted net income per share(3) in the third quarter of 2012 was $0.06.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

SciQuest provides all information required in accordance with GAAP, but believes evaluating its ongoing operating results may not be as useful if an investor is limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, SciQuest presents non-GAAP financial measures in reporting its financial results to provide investors with additional tools to evaluate SciQuest's operating results in a manner that focuses on what SciQuest believes to be its ongoing business operations and what SciQuest uses to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. SciQuest's management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. SciQuest's management believes it is useful for itself and investors to review, as applicable, both GAAP information that includes: (i) the amortization of acquired intangible assets; (ii) the impact of stock-based compensation; (iii) other significant items, such as acquisition related expenses; (iv) the purchase accounting impact on deferred revenue; and (v) the beneficial income tax effect of these items; and the non-GAAP measures that exclude such information in order to assess the performance of SciQuest's business and for planning and forecasting in subsequent periods. Whenever SciQuest uses such a non-GAAP financial measure, it provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure to the extent possible. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as detailed herein.
