SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 29, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apigee® (NASDAQ:APIC), developer of an intelligent API platform for digital business, today announced financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2016.

“We are pleased to deliver Q2 16 revenue above our guidance range,” said Chet Kapoor, Apigee CEO. “Companies across industry sectors are increasingly adopting an API-centric digital platform approach to deliver digital initiatives faster and at a lower cost, and Apigee delivers the scalable, reliable API platform to run them.  During Q2, we performed well in the financial services and insurance vertical, where we added four Fortune 100 companies to our blue chip customer base.  As a result of continued revenue growth and improved operational efficiency, we now believe that we will achieve our goal of becoming cash flow positive by Q2 fiscal 2017, three quarters earlier than our previous guidance.”

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding Apigee’s anticipated growth, the momentum and trends in its business, markets and certain vertical markets, planned product developments, anticipated benefits from its relationships with TCS and AWS, its forecasted positive cash flow and its forecasted total revenue, license revenue, gross billings, non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP net loss per share for the fiscal third quarter and fiscal year 2016. Words such as “expect,” “will,” “believes,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult or impossible to predict. Consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements.  Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements as a result of such uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances, including without limitation risks and uncertainties related to Apigee’s limited operating history; risks associated with its history of losses and its expectation of incurring losses for the foreseeable future; risks associated with the potential significant fluctuation of its future quarterly results and variances in its quarterly bookings, license revenue and operating cash flows; risks associated with revenue mix; risks associated with the effective management of its growth; risks associated with the role its strategic relationships with third parties plays in its growth; risks associated with market acceptance of its platform and Edge product; risks associated with Apigee’s experience in developing and introducing new products; risks associated with successfully implementing partnerships and strategic relationships; risks associated with Apigee’s ability to meet its customers’ needs for infrastructure capacity and the quality of its software, support and services; and risks associated with Apigee’s ability to obtain renewals from current customers.

The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive.  Additional risks and uncertainties that could affect Apigee’s financial and operating results are included under the captions "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in Apigee’s Annual Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on December 8, 2015.  Apigee’s SEC filings are available on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at http://investors.apigee.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.  Apigee disclaims any obligation to update the forward-looking statements provided to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Apigee provides the following non-GAAP financial measures in this release and in the earnings call referencing this press release: gross billings, product gross billings, non-GAAP license gross margin, non-GAAP subscription and support gross margin, non-GAAP professional services gross margin, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP operating loss, non‑GAAP net loss, and non-GAAP net loss per share.  These non-GAAP items are key measures used by our management to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends.  In particular, because a number of these measures exclude certain non-cash expenses, they can provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business.

Apigee uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its operating results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating its ongoing operational performance. Apigee believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, their most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.  A reconciliation of the historical 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.  Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

We calculate non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP license gross margin, non-GAAP subscription and support gross margin, non-GAAP professional services gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP net loss as the respective GAAP balances, adjusted for: (1) stock-based compensation and (2) the amortization of intangible assets. For Q2 16, non-GAAP net loss per share is calculated as non-GAAP net loss divided by GAAP weighted average shares outstanding. For Q2 15, non-GAAP net loss per share is calculated as non-GAAP net loss divided by the non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding that are adjusted to assume the conversion of outstanding preferred shares to common shares as of the beginning of the period.

We define gross billings as our total revenue plus the change in our deferred revenue in a period. We define product gross billings as our total product revenue (where product is defined as license, subscription and support) plus the change in our license, subscription and support deferred revenue in a period. Gross billings and product gross billings in any period consists of sales to new customers plus renewals and additional sales to existing customers. Our management uses gross billings and product gross billings as a performance measurement because we generally bill our customers at the time of sale of our solutions and recognize revenue either upon delivery or ratably over subsequent periods, and a portion of our revenue may be recognized over a period of more than 12 months.  We believe that gross billings and product gross billings provide valuable insight into the sales of our solutions and the performance of our business.

With respect to Apigee’s outlook under “Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 Guidance” and "Full Year Fiscal 2016 Guidance" above, Apigee has not reconciled its expectations regarding non-GAAP loss from operations to GAAP loss from operations, nor reconciled non-GAAP net loss per share to GAAP net loss per share, because stock-based compensation expenses cannot be reasonably predicted and calculated.  Accordingly, reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.
