Second Quarter 2017 Operational Highlights

  • Cloud bookings increased 174% from the second quarter of 2016.

  • Overall pipeline of deals increased approximately 73% from the prior quarter, reflecting the additions of the company’s strategic acquisitions, increased cross-sell opportunities as well as the effectiveness of the expanded sales force.

  • Backlog totaled $18.1 million, a 48% increase compared to the prior quarter and a 34% increase from the year-ago quarter. The company continues to expect many enterprise clients will move through the implementation process in 2017, which will result in conversion of this backlog to reported revenue growth during the year.

  • Secured several new wins across a range of industry verticals, including Procter & Gamble and Fannie Mae. HCM wins included B Green Services, Messerli & Kramer, and Zander’s Sporting Goods.

  • Completed a $27.5 million public offering of common stock with high-quality institutional investors.

  • Strengthened leadership team with the appointments of Web Hill as Vice President and General Manager, Evolution, and Robert Dietz as Vice President and General Manager, HR Consulting.

  • Appointed Silver Oak Services Partners Founder and Co-Managing Partner Daniel Gill to Asure’s board of directors.

  • Acquired Compass HRM, a regional HR and payroll service bureau in the Southeast and an existing reseller of Asure's HCM offering.

  • Acquired iSystems, a leading national provider of HCM solutions to more than 100 payroll and HR service bureaus, providing Asure with significant cross-sell revenue opportunities and cost synergies.

Fiscal 2017 Financial Guidance

Asure management revised its financial guidance for fiscal 2017 ending December 31, 2017:

2017 Financial Guidance  Fiscal 2017
Revenue  $54.25 million to $56.25 million (increased from $53.0 million to $56.0 million)
EBITDA, excluding one-time items  $12.2 million to $13.5 million (increased from $11.9 million to $13.2)
Net Income (Loss) per Share, excluding one-time items  $(0.06) to $(0.02) (revised from $(0.02) to $0.02)
Non-GAAP Net Income per Share  $0.50 to $0.56 (revised from $0.50 to $0.59)

For fiscal 2017, Asure expects to achieve between $54.25 million and $56.25 million in revenue, with EBITDA, excluding one-time items, of between $12.2 million and $13.5 million, net loss per share, excluding one-time items, of between $(0.06) and $(0.02), and non-GAAP net income per share of between $0.50 and $0.56.

For fiscal 2018, Asure’s objectives are to reach double-digit organic revenue growth with multiple “tuck-in” acquisitions each of approximately $2.0 million of revenue and a purchase price of about two times revenue. In addition, Asure seeks to reach between $70.0 million and $80.0 million of revenue in 2018, with EBITDA, excluding one-time items, of between $16.0 million and $20.0 million. The company plans to issue more formal financial guidance for fiscal 2018 when it reports Q3 2017 results. 

Management Commentary

“Q2 represented a continuation of the same strong growth and operational momentum Asure has achieved over the last several quarters and years,” said company CEO Pat Goepel. “This continued strength was demonstrated in the double-digit topline growth we realized this quarter resulting in a record $12.9 million of revenue, along with the continued expansion of our gross margins to more than 78%. These encouraging results were driven by solid contributions across our business, particularly from cloud revenue, which was up 64% year-over-year, as well as a 174% increase in cloud bookings, both metrics validating our success in scaling our cloud business. And despite higher non-recurring and non-cash expenses related to the two acquisitions we completed in the period, we were still able to generate another quarter of profitability on a non-GAAP basis. Our overall performance reflects the increasing demand for our solutions as well as the continued realization of synergies from the strategic acquisitions we have completed this year.

“Following the one-year anniversary of our acquisition of Mangrove Software, which enabled us to more rapidly enter the multi-billion-dollar HCM market, we completed two more strategic acquisitions during the quarter: iSystems and Compass HRM. Like Mangrove, our acquisition of iSystems is consistent with our strategy of purchasing businesses with a proven technology and robust service bureau customer base, presenting us with significant opportunities to upsell and cross-sell our solution suite. In less than three months, we have made significant strides toward integrating the business and selling into its base of more than 100 service bureaus. Concurrently, we have already integrated Compass HRM, a regional service bureau and longstanding reseller of our HCM solutions, and begun to realize revenue and EBITDA improvements similar to what we achieved with the PSNW and CPI ‘tuck in’ acquisitions earlier this year. In fact, we have begun to implement cost optimization measures for our recent acquisitions that will take out approximately $4 million in costs annually. We expect to complete most of these measures in Q3 with the reminder by year end.

“As a result of our continued success, we entered the second half of 2017 with strong financial and operational momentum, a bolstered balance sheet, and industry-leading solutions. These dynamics have favorably positioned Asure for success in 2017, and have also put us well on track to achieve our mid-term goal of surpassing $100 million in revenue with double-digit EBITDA margins excluding one-time items. We remain focused on the key strategic initiatives that will continue to drive us forward, including accelerating the velocity of our cross-selling opportunities and the scaling of our business, both organically and through strategic acquisitions.”

*Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the following financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the Securities and Exchange Commission: EBITDA and GAAP Net Income (Loss) excluding one-time expenses. These supplemental financial measures are not required by GAAP, nor is the presentation of this financial information intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management recognizes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the expenses associated with Asure’s earnings results as determined in accordance with GAAP. However, for the reasons described below, management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of Asure’s business. Asure’s management believes that it is important to provide investors with these same tools, together with reconciliation to GAAP, for evaluating the performance of Asure’s business, as it may provide additional insight into Asure’s financial results. See the “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Net Income (Loss) Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Stock Compensation Expense (EBITDA)” and the “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income/(Loss) to Net Income (Loss) Excluding One-Time Expenses” tables included in this press release for further information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, these measures are presented because management believes they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and others in the evaluation of companies. 

EBITDA is calculated by adding income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization and stock compensation expense to net earnings. EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings and other consolidated earnings data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of Asure’s profitability.

Net Income (Loss) Excluding One-Time Expenses is calculated by combining the company’s GAAP Net Income (Loss), or earnings per share, with expenses that management believes are one time in nature and are not expected to recur on a dollar or per share basis.

Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) is calculated by combining the company’s GAAP Net Income (Loss), or earnings per share, with items that management believes are one time in nature and are not expected to recur on a dollar or per share basis. It excludes the impact of purchase accounting adjustments, amortization expense on acquisition-related intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, and acquisition-related expenses. We have revised our non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) to include acquisition-related amortization, as we believe this will more accurately reflect how we analyze our operations and provide information needed by investors to gain additional insight into our financial results. These expenses have been included in the non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) for all periods presented.
