  • Exceeds consensus estimates on revenue, adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP EPS and raises full-year guidance
  • Reports revenue of $57.6 million, up 25% from Q1 2011
  • Achieves adjusted EBITDA of $3.4 million and Non-GAAP EPS of $0.01 per diluted share
  • Announces 10th global enterprise-wide relationship for leading provider of IT service and asset management software

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ServiceSource (Nasdaq:SREV), the global leader in Service Revenue Management (SRM), today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

"ServiceSource continued to drive strong growth in the first quarter," said Mike Smerklo, Chairman and CEO of ServiceSource. "With a unique value proposition directly tied to our customers' success, we deliver measureable results for our customers. This past quarter we announced that our solutions helped Pitney Bowes Business Insight increase its renewal rates by over 30 percentage points. As market awareness for our solution grows, we are further extending our leadership in the growing SRM space."

Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $57.6 million, an increase of 25% compared to $46.1 million in the first quarter last year.

Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes stock-based compensation, for the first quarter of 2012 was $3.4 million, compared to $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2011.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2012 was $1.3 million or $0.02 per share on a basic and on a fully diluted basis, compared to net income of $17.4 million, or $0.28 per fully diluted share in the same period last year. First quarter 2011 results reflect a one-time tax benefit of $21.4 million as a result of the Company's conversion from a limited liability company to a Delaware corporation.

Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2012, which excludes stock-based compensation and the amortization of internally-developed software, was $1.0 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP net income, excluding the one-time tax benefit, of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2011.

David Oppenheimer, CFO, added, "We are pleased with our first quarter results and our ability to raise guidance for the year. We remain committed to investing in key initiatives related to our technology and global sales and marketing functions to extend our leadership position."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, ServiceSource also provides investors with non-GAAP net income per share and Adjusted EBITDA. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the closest GAAP financial measure is presented in the financial tables below under the heading, "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation." 

ServiceSource believes that the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release can assist investors in understanding and assessing its on-going core operations and prospects for the future and provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing ServiceSource's financial results with other companies in the industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Non-GAAP net income per share consists of net income (loss) plus stock-based compensation, amortization of internally-developed software and applying an annual income tax rate of 40% reflecting our estimated tax expense on our core operations. Results for the first quarter of 2011 reflect a one-time tax benefit related to the conversion of ServiceSource from a limited liability corporation to a Delaware corporation which has also been excluded from the calculation of non-GAAP net income. Stock-based compensation expenses are expected to vary depending on the number of new grants issued, changes in the company's stock price, stock market volatility, expected option lives and risk-free rates of return, all of which are difficult to estimate.  

EBITDA consists of net income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, interest expense, other expenses, net, and income tax expense and a deduction for income tax benefit. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA plus non-cash, stock-based compensation expense. ServiceSource uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of operating performance because it assists the company in comparing performance on a consistent basis, as it removes from the operating results the impact of the company's capital structure.

These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA:

Footnotes to GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation      
       
(A) Stock-based compensation. Included in our GAAP presentation of cost of revenue and operating expenses, stock-based compensation consists of expenses for stock options and awards and purchase rights under our stock purchase plan. We exclude stock-based compensation expense from our non-GAAP measures because some investors may view it as not reflective of our core operating performance as it is a non-cash expense.         
       
(B) Amortization of internally-developed software. Included in our GAAP presentation of cost of revenue and operating expenses, amortization of internally-developed software reflects non-cash expense for certain software purchases and software developed or obtained for internal use. We exclude these expenses from our non-GAAP measures because we believe they are not indicative of our core operating performance.      
       
(C) One-time tax benefit due to conversion to corporation. We elected to be treated as a corporation under Subchapter C of Chapter 1 of the United States Internal Revenue Code, effective March 1, 2011, and therefore became subject to federal and state tax expense beginning March 1, 2011. As a result of this tax election, we recorded a net deferred tax asset and a one-time non-cash tax benefit of $21.4 million in the first quarter of 2011. We excluded the tax benefit from our non-GAAP measures because it is non-recurring and unique to this one time event and is not indicative of our core operating performance.      
       
(D) Income tax effect on non-GAAP adjustments and impact of normalizing the effective income tax rate.   This adjusts the provision for income taxes to reflect the effect of the non-GAAP items A, B and C noted above on our non-GAAP net income and adjusts the income tax rate to a normalized effective tax rate of 40%.
