"I am very pleased with our performance on multiple levels both for the quarter and for the fiscal year overall," said Patrick Stakenas, President and CEO of Determine. "We had another strong new bookings quarter in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 with the team delivering $1.2M in new ARR, which nicely rounded out our fiscal year's performance. Delivery of our unified Source to Pay, and Enterprise Contract Lifecycle Management solution, called the Determine Cloud Platform, is progressing very well and on schedule with our product roadmap. The Determine Cloud Platform has received positive reviews from customers, prospects and industry analysts. On the financial side, in the fourth quarter, we took the necessary actions to materially reduce expenses, which will solidly position the business for financial success in the coming quarters. I'm very excited as our team transforms the company with the launch of our new disruptive suite of technology, in combination with embracing the necessary financial discipline, we are well poised for great things to come in fiscal 2017."

FY2016 Business Highlights:

  • Q1: Moving the Organization Forward: The company promoted Patrick Stakenas to President, CEO and a Director. Mr. Stakenas joined the Company as Chief Strategy Officer at the beginning of 2014, from Gartner, after driving ForceLogix Technologies through its IPO and sale to CallidusCloud.

  • Q1: Industry Recognition and Awards of Company Executives:  Patrick Stakenas, President and CEO, and Constantine Limberakis, Director Product Marketing, were among the 2015 recipients of the Pros to Know Awards presented by Supply & Demand Executive magazine. In addition, Supply & Demand Executive magazine named the following clients "Practitioner Pros to Know" as exceptional corporate executives: Joanna Martinez from Cushman & Wakefield, Lou Galczynski from Endo, James Gavin McCarthy from Equifax, Jason East from YP.

  • Q2: Announced completion of the b-pack acquisition: On July 31, 2015, the company completed the acquisition of b-pack, a pioneer and global leader in the delivery of enterprise procure-to-pay solutions, whose focus was on providing rich, end-to-end procurement capabilities, including: eProcurement, Purchase-to-Pay, Asset Management, Budget Management, Invoice Management and Expense Management. b-pack is a recognized Gartner 'visionary' in the 2015 Magic Quadrant for Procure-to-Pay Suites for Indirect Procurement and serves global customers across many business sectors including such leading companies as Sony Music, Yves Saint Laurent/Gucci, Aon, Telehouse, BNP Paribas, Buccaneer Energy and United Drug. For the past 15 years, b-pack has empowered finance and procurement enterprise professionals with flexible, innovative and critical risk mitigation solutions.

(www.determine.com) -- and one brand. Over the last three years as the company has executed its strategic plan, it has evolved significantly from a predominantly contract lifecycle management solutions provider to a leading Source to Pay with an Enterprise Contract Lifecycle management suite. A new brand was essential to encapsulate the new business vision. Determine integrated its acclaimed "visionary" Gartner Magic Quadrant contract management, procurement and Source to Pay solutions and four collective decades of business acumen onto one platform, one brand and one customer promise: Vision. Insight. Control.

  • Q4: Determine, Inc. selected as a CIOReview 20 most promising Enterprise Contract Management Solution providers: Our Determine Contract Management solution was recognized by CIOReview 20 Most Promising Enterprise Contract Management Providers 2015 in their latest rankings. Enterprise Contract Management systems have emerged as a scalable alternative for enterprises to leverage cloud solutions to streamline and monitor their contract lifecycle management processes. A panel comprising of CEOs, CIOs, VCs, analysts and CIOReview editorial board compiled top contract management solution providers. CIOReview looked at the vendor's capability to provide cost-effective and flexible solutions that add value to the contract management services landscape.

  • New Customer Expansions: In Q4 FY2016, the company engaged numerous new customer accounts in the US and Europe across its suite of Source to Pay and Enterprise Contract Lifecycle Management solutions.

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.
