Our strong performance and execution in the first quarter make us incrementally more confident in our outlook for 2012. Moreover, we made significant headway toward new product initiatives and broadening our market reach in the eProcurement market, which we expect to drive even faster growth in 2013 and beyond."

SciQuest reported total revenue of $14.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 15% compared to revenue of $12.5 million for the comparable period in 2011.

GAAP income from operations in the first quarter of 2012 was $0.3 million, compared to income from operations of $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2011. GAAP net income was $153,000 or $0.01 per share, in the first quarter of 2012, compared to $424,000, or $0.02 per share, in the comparable period in 2011.

Non-GAAP income from operations was $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2012, excluding stock-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets. Non-GAAP income from operations was $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2011, excluding stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets and acquisition-related expenses.

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 expense in 2011, and (iv) the income tax effect of non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments from the provision for income taxes; 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. 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.
