CARY, N.C., July 30, 2014 (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 second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

"We delivered second quarter results that met or surpassed expectations based on balanced contributions from across the business.

"We had robust sales activity adding 11 new customers, compared to 9 in the second quarter of 2013. With healthy contributions from large transactions, average deal size was up compared to first quarter levels. New customers spanned multiple markets, purchasing a balanced mix of individual products and suite solutions. We also generated robust cross-selling with existing customers, executing against our portfolio expansion strategy and monetizing high levels of overall customer satisfaction. Operationally, our latest software release included a significant upgrade to our general sourcing solution in addition to numerous other improvements. Based on overall performance in the second quarter, we remain confident in our outlook for the remainder of 2014."

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) the purchase accounting impact on deferred revenue; (iv) other significant items, such as acquisition related expenses; 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.
