WATERLOO, Ontario, Sept. 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Descartes Systems Group Inc. (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG) announced financial results for its fiscal 2014 second quarter (Q2FY14) ended July 31, 2013. All financial results referenced are in United States (US) currency and, unless otherwise indicated, are determined in accordance with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Q2FY14 Financial Results
As described in more detail below, key financial highlights for Descartes in Q2FY14 included:
- Revenues of $38.2 million, up 25% from $30.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 (Q2FY13) and up 12% from $34.0 million in the previous quarter (Q1FY14);
- Services revenues of $35.5 million, up 21% from $29.3 million in Q2FY13 and up 18% from $30.1 million in Q1FY14. Services revenues comprised 93% of total revenues for the quarter;
- Cash provided by operating activities of $11.2 million, up from $6.6 million in Q2FY13 and $9.6 million in Q1FY14;
- Days-sales-outstanding (DSO) for Q2FY14 were 49 days, down from 55 days in Q2FY13 and down from 52 days in Q1FY14;
- Net income of $1.7 million, down from $2.5 million in Q2FY13 and $2.8 million in Q1FY14. Net income was impacted by $1.3 million in restructuring and acquisition related charges in Q2FY14 related to Descartes' acquisition and ongoing integration of KSD Software Norway AS ("KSD") on May 2, 2013;
- Earnings per share on a diluted basis of $0.03, down from $0.04 in both Q2FY13 and Q1FY14;
- Adjusted EBITDA of $10.8 million, up 16% from $9.3 million in Q2FY13 and up 4% from $10.4 million in Q1FY14. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues was 28%, down from 30% in Q2FY13 and 31% in Q1FY14; and
- Adjusted EBITDA per share on a diluted basis of $0.17, up 13% from $0.15 in Q2FY13 and up 6% from $0.16 in Q1FY14.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures provided as a complement to financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation (for which we include related fees and taxes) and other charges (for which we include acquisition-related expenses and restructuring charges). These items are considered by management to be outside Descartes' ongoing operational results. We define Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share as Adjusted EBITDA divided by the number of diluted shares used to calculate the GAAP measure of earnings per share. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share to net income and earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP, respectively, is provided later in this release.
The following table summarizes Descartes' results in the categories specified below over the past 5 fiscal quarters (unaudited; dollar amounts, other than per share amounts, in millions):

Cash Position
As at July 31, 2013, Descartes had $40.9 million in cash, comprised entirely of cash and cash equivalents, and $18.5 million of debt outstanding on an acquisition line of credit.
Cash and cash equivalents have decreased since April 30, 2013 by $23.7 million and increased $3.3 million since January 31, 2013. The principal use of funds since April 30, 2013 has been the investment of $32.4 million, net of $0.2 million of cash acquired, to complete the acquisition of KSD on May 2, 2013. To complete the acquisition, Descartes used approximately $12.8 million of cash on hand and $19.8 million included in its cash balance as at April 30, 2013 advanced under an acquisition line of credit. In Q2FY14, Descartes' operating activities provided $11.2 million and Descartes repaid $1.8 million of principal on outstanding debt.

Such factors include, but are not limited to, Descartes' ability to successfully execute on acquisitions and to integrate acquired businesses and assets, and to predict expenses associated with and revenues from the acquisitions; the ability to attract and retain key personnel and the ability to manage the departure of key personnel; changes in trade or transportation regulations that currently require customers to use services such as those offered by Descartes; departures of key customers; the impact of foreign currency exchange rates; Descartes' ability to retain or obtain sufficient capital in addition to its existing acquisition line of credit to execute on its business strategy, including its acquisition strategy; disruptions in the movement of freight; the potential for future goodwill or intangible impairment as a result of other-than-temporary decreases in Descartes' market capitalization; and other factors and assumptions discussed in the section entitled, "Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results" in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Ontario Securities Commission and other securities commissions across Canada, including Descartes' Annual Report on Form 40-F for FY13. If any such risks actually occur, they could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per Diluted Share
We prepare and release quarterly unaudited and annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We also disclose and discuss certain non-GAAP financial information, used to evaluate our performance, in this and other earnings releases and investor conference calls as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. We believe that current shareholders and potential investors in our company use non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share, in making investment decisions about our company and measuring our operational results.
The term "Adjusted EBITDA" refers to a financial measure that we define as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation (for which we include related fees and taxes) and other charges (for which we include acquisition-related expenses and restructuring charges). Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share divides Adjusted EBITDA by the number of diluted shares used in calculating the GAAP diluted earnings per share, or diluted EPS, measure.
Management considers acquisition-related and restructuring activities to be outside the scope of Descartes' ongoing operations and the related expenses are not used by management to measure operations. Accordingly, these expenses are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, which we reference to both measure our operations and as a basis of comparison of our operations from period-to-period. Management believes that investors and financial analysts measure our business on the same basis, and we are providing the Adjusted EBITDA financial metric to assist in this evaluation and to provide a higher level of transparency into how we measure our own business. However, Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP or other non-GAAP measures that may be used by other companies, such as EBITDA. The use of Adjusted EBITDA does have limitations. In particular, we have completed seven acquisitions since the beginning of fiscal 2012, and may complete additional acquisitions in the future that will result in acquisition-related expenses and restructuring charges. As these acquisition-related expenses and restructuring charges may continue as we pursue our consolidation strategy, some investors may consider these charges and expenses as a recurring part of operations rather than non-recurring charges and expenses that are not part of operations.
The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per diluted share to net income and diluted earnings per share, respectively, reported in our unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations for Q2FY14, Q1FY14, Q4FY13, Q3FY13 and Q2FY13, which we believe are the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
