"We again delivered double-digit growth and improved performance across all of our offerings, from all geographies, and from both new and existing customers due to continued strong demand for our award-winning products and services," said Roni Al-Dor, President and CEO of Sapiens. "Our efforts to more efficiently leverage our operations and improve our operating margins enabled us to grow our bottom line, and we are well positioned to continue our revenue and profitability growth into 2016 and beyond."

Mr. Al-Dor continued. "Our strategic acquisitions of IBEXI in India and Insseco in Poland are clearly paying off, allowing us to increase our presence and support customers through new regional delivery and development centers in those markets. We expect to continue our acquisition strategy in 2016 to expand our geographic footprint and to enhance our product offerings. With new recent business wins across all our product lines, including our recently announced $30 million business expansion with a leading North American insurance company, we are confident for continued double-digit growth in 2016."

Mr. Al-Dor concluded: "Longer term, our expanded global presence and increasingly comprehensive suite of solutions will drive continued growth, and we remain enthusiastic about the near-term and long-term prospects for our markets and our strategic position as an innovative provider of advanced, industry-leading software solutions."

2016 Business Outlook

Management indicated it expects 2016 full year revenues of $207 to $211 million, a growth of 15.4%-17.7%.

The company also expects full-year 2016 Non-GAAP operating margins in the range of 15.0% - 15.5%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: Non-GAAP revenue, Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP net income attributed to Sapiens shareholders, Non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share.

Sapiens believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Sapiens' financial condition and results of operations. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company's performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, for purposes of determining executive and senior management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. These measures are used in financial reports prepared for management and in quarterly financial reports presented to the Company's board of directors. The Company 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 and in comparing the Company's financial measures with other software companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Management of the Company does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. Sapiens urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which it includes in press releases announcing quarterly financial results, including this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company's business.

In addition, the Company adjusted revenues and expenses, recorded under US GAAP, of pre-acquisition date in respect of acquired business from its ultimate parent company. As this transaction is between companies under common control, under US GAAP, it was accounted for under the pooling of interest method. For non-GAAP measurement purposes, the Company excludes the pre-acquisition date revenues and expenses.

Reconciliation tables of the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are included with the financial tables of this release.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net Profit, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, capitalized internal-use software development costs, amortization of internal-use software development costs interest expense, compensation expenses related to acquisition, pre-acquisition revenues and expenses accounted under pooling of interest method, provision for income taxes and other income (expenses). These amounts are often excluded by other companies to help investors understand the operational performance of their business. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measurement of its operating performance because it assists in comparing the operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain non-cash and non-operating items. Adjusted EBITDA reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the operations that the Company believes, when viewed with the GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.
