Park City Group Reports Fiscal First Quarter 2018 Results

Revenue Increased 12%, as Efforts Focused on Record ReposiTrak Backlog 
Operating Cash Flow Increased to $1.1 Million Leading to Record Cash Balance 
Management Reiterates Fiscal 2018 Revenue Growth Within Annual Target of 25% to 35%

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Park City Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCYG), a software company that uses big data management to help retailers and their suppliers increase sales and lower costs, while simultaneously reducing compliance risks, announced financial results for its fiscal 2018 first quarter ended September 30, 2017.   

Strategic and Financial Highlights:

• Revenue increased 12%, as efforts focused on executing on record ReposiTrak backlog. “With the rapid growth of ReposiTrak, we entered the first quarter with a record backlog of supplier connections. To meet our customers’ requirements for success, efforts during the quarter were focused on bringing this backlog to record levels of compliance. As we have stated, quarterly revenue comparisons can fluctuate significantly and don’t directly correlate to the strength of our business, or our future prospects,” said Randall K. Fields, Park City Group’s Chairman and CEO.
  
  
• Management reiterates fiscal 2018 revenue growth within annual target of 25% to 35%. “The list of prospective ReposiTrak HUBs is growing rapidly, our Supply Chain pipeline is larger than at any time in our history, and Marketplace is experiencing the highest level of interest of any service we have ever introduced. As a result, our outlook for growth has never been brighter, and we remain confident that revenue growth for fiscal 2018 will be within our annual target of 25% to 35%,” said Mr. Fields.
  
  
• Fiscal 1Q18 operating cash flow accelerates to $1.1 million, total cash climbs to $14.9 million. “We continue to grow cash flow despite an increase in investments. As we said, operating cash flow would grow as we continue to transition ReposiTrak from a pre-paid service to our current billing model. As evidence, we generated $1.1 million in operating cash flow in the quarter, up from negative $122,000 a year ago, and $297,000 last quarter,” said Mr. Fields. “We expect record operating cash flow for the year as growth in our supply chain business and ReposiTrak should to be highly accretive.”
  
  
• Investment in Success Team and 10x Project enhancing ability to address growing pipeline. “Continually improving execution is the key to successful long-term customer relationships and our future growth. We have doubled the size of the Success Team, brought on new leadership, and are providing team members with new tools from our 10x Project. We can now bring more suppliers into compliance in a week, than we used to do in a month. As a result, the team was able to get compliance rates to record highs by the end of the quarter and we have resumed a faster pace of growth,” said Mr. Fields.
  
  
• ReposiTrak customers adopting Supply Chain applications via converged platform. “With our full suite of services now available on a converged service delivery platform, ReposiTrak customers have been increasingly interested in supply chain applications and the pace of uptake is accelerating as the size of our network grows,” said Mr. Fields. “We expect to have additional ReposiTrak customers adopting our unified service delivery platform over the remainder of the year, propelling Supply Chain services to record growth levels, and supporting our outlook for 25% to 35% growth for this year and beyond.” 
  
  
• MarketPlace expanding use cases to become a unique, broad-based B2B E-commerce platform. “The pilot with our initial HUB drove new use cases beyond compliant vendor replacement because of the customer’s recognition of the platform’s unique B2B E-commerce capabilities. In addition to our current pilot, we anticipate an expansion in activity with our ReposiTrak HUBs, as well as new use cases related to our GMDC relationship,” said Mr. Fields. “As a result, we expect continued growth over the remainder of this year and for MarketPlace to make a very meaningful contribution to revenue in fiscal 2019.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

While this press release does not include non-GAAP financial measures, the financial presentation below contains certain financial measures defined as “non-GAAP financial measures” by the Securities and Exchange Commission, including non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP earnings per share. These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures will be provided upon the completion of the Company’s annual audit.

Non-GAAP EBITDA excludes items such as impairment charges, allowance for doubtful accounts, non-cash stock based compensation and other one-time cash and non-cash charges. Non-GAAP EPS excludes items such as non-cash stock based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets and other one-time cash and non-cash charges. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses or net purchases of property and equipment, as the case may be, which may not be indicative of its core operation results and business outlook. Because Park City Group has historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, the Company believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP measures in the financial presentation below allows investors to compare the Company’s financial results with the Company’s historical financial results reported using non-GAAP financial measures, as well as with the financial results reported by others.
