Park City Group Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2016 Results

SALT LAKE CITY, May 09, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Park City Group (NASDAQ:PCYG), a cloud-based software company that uses big data management to help retailers and their suppliers ‘sell more, stock less and see everything’, today announced results for its fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2016.

References to pro forma financial results reflect the acquisition of ReposiTrak, the elimination of fees paid to Park City Group by ReposiTrak, and the recognition of ReposiTrak’s revenue in the comparable periods.

• Third quarter revenue reached a record $3.6 million, ahead of internal expectations – “Overall revenue grew 25% on a pro forma basis and 6% on a reported basis, driven by triple-digit growth in ReposiTrak and double-digit growth in our Supply Chain business,” said Randall K. Fields, Park City Group’s Chairman and CEO. “The strength in our business is giving us the flexibility to accelerate convergence and expand our product offering, business model, and target customer base.”  
• Positive fiscal 3Q16 GAAP net income transitioned the Company to year-to-date profitability – Fiscal 3Q16 net income was $295,000, versus a loss of ($550,000) a year ago due to higher revenues and lower operating expenses. “We expect to be profitable for the full fiscal year and in the foreseeable future,” said Mr. Fields. “We believe growing profitability and our strong balance sheet, with $11.3 million in cash, are key factors potential customers look at when selecting a food safety partner.” 
• Rising food safety issues prompting industry executives to action – “High-profile outbreaks of foodborne illness, a surge in litigation and criminal prosecutions, and the recent introduction of expanded regulations has led to growing awareness of the implications of food safety risks and the problems associated with non-compliance. Interest in ReposiTrak is continuing to rise, and participation in our informational seminars is increasing dramatically,” said Mr. Fields.
• ReposiTrak connections growing with hub expansion, pipeline of hubs continues to grow – “We finished the quarter with more than 6,500 supplier connections and are on track to reach our goals,” said Mr. Fields. “We continue to see benefits from ongoing process improvements and a growing number of ReposiTrak hubs. During the quarter we announced three additional hubs for a total of twenty-two, and our pipeline of new hubs and potential connections continues to grow.”
• Strategic relationships and expanded offering strengthen position as food safety leader – “We have begun hosting SQF, one of the largest food safety auditing systems, within the ReposiTrak database,” said Mr. Fields. “SQF is the globally recognized standard for food safety audits, used by more than 9,000 facilities of many of the largest food companies in the world. We believe this new capability will significantly enhance ReposiTrak’s network, making it the place for food safety.”
• Successfully launched unified application portal to greater than expected interest – “Our customers are realizing food safety compliance is only part of an effective program of supply chain management. We have packaged our supply chain and food safety applications in a unified portal and have begun deploying it with customers,” said Mr. Fields. “Interest in the portal is higher than we expected and we anticipate several other engagements in the near future.”
• ReposiTrak’s eCommerce platform “Marketplace” to launch soon – “Marketplace will be an online exchange and eCommerce application which will provide ReposiTrak users a place to publish a catalog of their goods and market themselves to retailers and wholesalers looking for suppliers that meet their food safety and product requirements. By adding the opportunity for suppliers to increase sales, Marketplace will significantly enhance ReposiTrak’s value proposition to its users,” said Mr. Fields.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Pro-Forma Results 

This press release includes the following financial measures defined as “non-GAAP financial measures” by the Securities and Exchange Commission: non-GAAP EBITDA, non-GAAP earnings per share, net debt and free cash flow. These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures will be provided upon the completion of the Company’s annual audit.

Non-GAAP EBITDA excludes items such as impairment charges, allowance for doubtful accounts, charges to consolidate and integrate recently acquired businesses, costs of closing corporate facilities, non-cash stock based compensation and other one-time cash and non-cash charges. Non-GAAP EPS excludes items such as non-cash stock based compensation, charges to consolidate and integrate recently acquired businesses, costs for closing corporate facilities, amortization of acquired intangible assets and other one-time cash and non-cash charges. Net debt is the total debt balance less the cash balance. Free cash flow includes net cash provided (used) by operating activities less replacement purchases of property and equipment. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses or net purchases of property and equipment, as the case may be, which may not be indicative of its core operation results and business outlook. Because Park City Group has historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, the Company believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in financial reporting.

In addition to reporting financial measures on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, management has elected to disclose certain financial measures on a pro-forma basis because it believes this pro-forma comparison is more appropriate to its current accounting treatment for the business. The pro-forma financial results of the Company presented in this release reflect the elimination of Park City Group’s historical accounting treatment of ReposiTrak as a customer of the Company and present the Company’s prior financial results as if ReposiTrak were a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
