SciQuest Announces First Quarter Financial Results


Exceeds Quarterly Guidance as Non-GAAP Revenues Grew 48%
Drives Significant Integration Progress
Advances Strategic Priorities

CARY, N.C., April 30, 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 first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Stephen Wiehe, President and Chief Executive Officer of SciQuest, said, "We accomplished a great deal in the first quarter while we generated financial results that exceeded the high end of our quarterly guidance ranges. First quarter non-GAAP revenue grew by 48 percent from the prior year and non-GAAP earnings per share increased by over 60 percent compared to the prior year. Sales growth was fueled by the addition of ten new customers and upsells of newer solutions into our existing customer base. We also substantially completed the operational integration of the two acquisitions we made in the second half of 2012. In addition, our technical integration is on track based on enhancements that were included in the latest release of our software suite that went live in late March. Over the remainder of the year, we look forward to continuing to drive sales to new and existing customers, capture financial and operational efficiencies and enhance our solution suite."

First Quarter 2013 Results

SciQuest reported GAAP revenues of $20.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to $14.4 million in the first quarter of 2012.

GAAP loss from operations in the first quarter of 2013 was $1.3 million compared to GAAP income from operations of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2012. GAAP net loss was $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2013 compared to GAAP net income of $0.2 million in the same quarter in the prior year. The primary drivers of the decline from 2012 were the expected impacts of the SciQuest Canada (formerly known as Upside Software) and Spend Radar acquisitions.

GAAP basic net loss per share was $0.03 in the first quarter of 2013 based on 22.6 million average basic shares outstanding. GAAP diluted net income per share in the first quarter of 2012 was $0.01 based on 22.6 million average diluted shares outstanding.

Non-GAAP revenues(1) in the first quarter of 2013 were $21.3 million, up 48% from the prior year.

Non-GAAP income from operations(2) in the first quarter of 2013 was $2.9 million compared to non-GAAP income from operations(2) of $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP net income(3) in the first quarter of 2013 was $1.8 million compared to non-GAAP net income(3) in the first quarter of 2012 of $1.1 million.

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 income tax effect of non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments from the provision for income taxes; and (v) the purchase accounting impact on deferred revenue; 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.
