Model N Announces First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2019 Financial Results

Model N, Inc., (NYSE: MODN), the leading provider of cloud revenue management solutions for pharmaceutical, medical device, semiconductor and high tech manufacturing companies, today announced financial results for the first quarter, which ended December 31, 2018.

“We exceeded both revenue and profitability guidance for the first quarter of fiscal 2019,” said Jason Blessing, Chief Executive Officer of Model N. “I'm pleased with how we're executing as a team. Our focus on life sciences and high tech as well as operational excellence yielded strong results in Q1 and provides us with positive momentum to achieve our 2019 goals. Our results on profitability, cash flow and subscription gross margin demonstrate the progress we are making.”

Business Highlights:

  • New logo acquisition - During Q1 we added a healthy number of new logos, including Almirall, Heritage and Amag. Our new customers accounted for a material portion of our Q1 bookings and consisted of a diverse mix of company sizes across our core vertical markets.
  • Expanding Customer Relationships - We also saw continued momentum in our customer sales efforts. A representative transaction was a large expansion deal at one of our existing high tech manufacturing customers that is one of the top producers in the world of microprocessors and graphical processing units. This customer has been a long time Model N user and recently undertook a strategic initiative to further optimize revenue and margins in an effort to maintain their market-leading position. This is a great example of the strategic nature of our software and how it helps our customers flourish in the dynamic end markets they serve.
  • Trust and Customer Success - A number of leading life sciences companies went live this quarter which showcased our products’ ability to scale from emerging growth companies, such as ICU and Nevro, to one of the largest life sciences companies in the world.
  • Rainmaker - Our customer advisory panel, RainmakerX, met in November and will meet again at our annual Rainmaker conference in March. Key discussion topics include the impact that changing regulations and M&A are having and how cloud computing can help companies deal with this dynamic market.

First Quarter 2019 Financial Highlights:

  • (Loss) income from operations: GAAP loss from operations was $(3.1) million compared to a GAAP loss from operations of $(4.0) million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Non-GAAP income from operations was $2.5 million compared to a non-GAAP income from operations of $2.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018.
  • Net loss: GAAP net loss was $(4.7) million compared to a net loss of $(5.3) million for the first quarter of fiscal 2018. GAAP basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders was $(0.15) based upon weighted average shares outstanding of 31.5 million, as compared to net loss per share of $(0.18) for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 based upon weighted average shares outstanding of 29.4 million.

Guidance:

As of February 5, 2019, we are providing guidance for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 and the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2019.

New Accounting Standard:

The Company adopted the new standard related to revenue recognition (ASC 606) effective October 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. As of the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company is reporting results under ASC 606. Financial results for reporting periods prior to fiscal year 2019 are presented in conformity with ASC 605.

The adoption of this accounting standard will be a headwind to our fiscal year 2019 financial results. The cumulative effect adjustment on total revenues is expected to be approximately $7.2 million with $3.1 million related to our Subscription revenues and $4.1 million related to our Professional Services revenues. The adoption will also impact our accounting for sales commissions.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements including, among other things, statements regarding Model N’s second quarter and full year fiscal year 2019 revenue and expense, and other financial results as well as outlook for fiscal year 2019 and future prospects, including customer expansions. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. Risks include, but are not limited to: (i) delays in closing customer contracts; (ii) our ability to improve and sustain our sales execution; (iii) the timing of new orders and the associated revenue recognition; (iv) adverse changes in general economic or market conditions; (v) delays or reductions in information technology spending and resulting variability in customer orders from quarter to quarter; (vi) competitive factors, including but not limited to pricing pressures, industry consolidation, entry of new competitors and new applications and marketing initiatives by our competitors; (vii) our ability to manage our growth effectively; and (viii) acceptance of our applications and services by customers; (ix) success of new products; (x) the risk that the strategic initiatives that we may pursue will not result in significant future revenues; (xi) changes in health care regulation and policy and tax in the United States and worldwide; and (xii) our ability to retain customers. Further information on risks that could affect Model N’s results is included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, and any current reports on Form 8-K that we may file from time to time. Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could differ materially from expectations. Model N assumes no obligation to, and does not currently intend to, update any such forward-looking statements after the date of this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures below. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.

Our reported results include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margins, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net (loss) income per share, and adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP gross profit excludes stock-based compensation expenses, deferred revenue adjustment and amortization of intangible assets. Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss) exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and deferred revenue adjustment resulting from Revitas acquisition as they are often excluded by other companies to help investors understand the operational performance of their business and, in the case of stock-based compensation, can be difficult to predict and therefore we have not provided a reconciliation of forecasted Non-GAAP results with GAAP. In addition, stock-based compensation expense varies from period to period and company to company due to such things as differing valuation methodologies and changes in stock price. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss, adjusted depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition & integration related expenses, deferred revenue adjustment, interest (income) expense, net, and other (income) expenses, net, and provision (benefit) for income taxes. Reconciliation tables are provided in this press release.

We have not reconciled guidance for non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures because certain items that impact these measures are uncertain, out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Model N uses non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA, gross profit, gross margin, loss from operations, net loss, weighted average shares outstanding and net loss per share, which are adjusted to exclude certain legal expenses, Channel Insight and Revitas acquisition related costs, deferred revenue adjustment and valuation allowance resulting from Revitas acquisition, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and includes dilutive shares where applicable. We believe these adjustments are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance and also our prospects for the future. These adjustments to our current period GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of Model N’s underlying operating results and trends and our marketplace performance. The non-GAAP results are an indication of our baseline performance that are considered by management for the purpose of making operational decisions. In addition, these non-GAAP results are the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating loss, net loss or basic and diluted net loss per share prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and are subject to limitations.

While a large component of our expenses incurred in certain periods, we believe investors may want to exclude the effects of these items in order to compare our financial performance with that of other companies and between time periods:

(a) Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Stock-based compensation is a non-cash item. We believe that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides for a better comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies.

(b) Amortization of intangible assets resulted principally from acquisitions. Intangible asset amortization is a non-cash item. As such, we believe exclusion of these expenses provides for a better comparison of our operation results to prior periods and to our peer companies.

(c) Represents deferred revenue adjustment resulting from purchase price accounting that is related to the Revitas acquisition and is a non-cash item. As such, we believe this adjustment provides for a better comparison of our operation results to prior periods and to our peer companies.
