"I'm pleased to report this quarter that our fully integrated sales force, working across our key geographies, US and Europe, have delivered $1.44 million in new ARR, our highest new ARR bookings quarter of the last two years. These results represent not only meaningful year-over-year ARR growth of more than 60%, but are also composed of a well balanced mix of Contract Management, Procure-to-Pay and Sourcing as well as 'suite' solutions." said Patrick Stakenas, President and CEO of Determine. "In addition to our strong new sales results, we hit another important business objective, delivering profitable results in our professional services business. Our forth coming new platform launch of the Determine Platform will serve us well to continue this trend -- as we align our all of our new service efforts under our one platform strategy."

Q3 FY2016 Business Highlights:

  • Non-Recurring Revenue Profitability: Through the continued significant efforts by the global Determine professional services delivery teams, this quarter, Non-Recurring Revenue was profitable for the first time in recent history. In the current quarter, the company reported a Non-GAAP gross profit on non-recurring revenue of a positive $276,000 and a 15.5% margin, as compared to a $363,000 gross loss and a (27.4%) margin on non-recurring revenue in Q3 FY2015. This compares to a $29,000 gross loss and a (2.1%) margin on non-recurring revenue in the prior quarter. The teams will continue to be vigilant and focused on constantly improving the quality and profitability of the company's service delivery sector. 

  • New Brand - "Determine": On October 19, 2015, the company launched a global rebrand effort online as well as on the floor at NASDAQ to formally combine the three legacy industry leaders and brands; Selectica, Iasta and b-pack under one new brand. Over the last three years, as the company has delivered on it's strategic plan, it has evolved significantly from a predominantly contract lifecycle management (CLM) solutions provider, to a leading 'source-to-pay' with enterprise contract lifecycle management suite -- a new brand was essential to encapsulate the new business vision. Determine integrated it's acclaimed "visionary' Gartner Magic Quadrant contract management, procurement and Procure-to-Pay solutions and four collective decades of business acumen onto one platform, one brand and one customer promise: Vision. Insight. Control.

  • New Customers Expansions: In Q3 FY2016, the company closed numerous new customer accounts in the US and Europe across its suite of 'source-to-pay' and enterprise contract lifecycle management solutions. New accounts included sales in key verticals including: financial services, consumer packaged goods, pharmaceutical, energy, real estate, medical imaging systems, and manufacturing. 

  • 20 Most Promising Enterprise Contract Management Solution Provider: In Q3 FY2016, Determine selected by CIOReview 20 Most Promising Enterprise Contract Management Solutions Provider in their latest rankings. The CIOReview selection process looked at a vendor's ability to provide cost-effective and flexible solutions that add value to the contract management services landscape.  

  • Thought Leadership: During Q3 FY2016, the company continued to support its customers and prospects by providing meaningful educational resources designed to help decision-makers make more money, save more money or reduce risk by leveraging source-to-pay with Enterprise Lifecycle Contract Management suite solutions. The company held a highly effective webinar addressing How General Counsel & Procurement Are Leading the Adoption of Contract Lifecycle Management with our customer, Dan O'Connor, Corporate Counsel at Kellogg Company, and Prashant Dubey of The Sumati Group. In addition, the company published a sponsored whitepaper with Spend Matter Research on Exploring 'Total Cost' as a Productivity KPI for the P2P Process.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP earnings per share, which we believe are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and future results. For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations". Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. 

The difference between GAAP and non-GAAP revenue is due to the impact of revaluing the deferred revenue balances acquired from primarily b-pack as required by GAAP purchase accounting. 

The difference between GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit is the difference in GAAP versus non-GAAP revenues as well as the elimination of the amortization of acquisition related intangibles, stock based compensation and severance expense from the costs of revenue. Non-GAAP net loss excludes the non-GAAP gross profit items as well as acquisition related costs.
Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand and manage our business and forecast future periods; as such, we believe it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on our total operations. Further, please note that our non-GAAP revenue is intended to reflect the full amount of revenues that would have been otherwise recorded by the acquired entities of Iasta and b-pack, while our non-GAAP gross profit also excludes the amortization of intangibles that occurred due to the acquisition of the entities of Iasta and b-pack.

Bookings are an operating measure not derived from the Company's revenues or any other amounts presented in accordance with GAAP in the Company's statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows or other equivalent statements.
