"I am very pleased to see the significant growth in both Q1 FY2016 new business volume and customer expansion as well as the diversity of new solutions across industry verticals. This was a very strong sales quarter for the company -- the pipeline and deal flow were very robust in Q1 and we anticipate seeing continued incremental growth as we move throughout the fiscal year," said Patrick Stakenas, President and CEO of Selectica. "As we look forward to integrating our new procure-to-pay capabilities, obtained through the b-pack acquisition, I anticipate both the volume and size of the deal flow to benefit from these new capabilities."

Q1 FY2016 Business Highlights:

• New Customers and Customer Expansions: In Q1 FY2016, the company closed the greatest number of new customer accounts in recent history and expanded the value of current customers across a variety of business verticals domestically and internationally. New accounts included sales in key verticals: real estate, aerospace, media, automotive manufacturing, pharmaceuticals / medical devices, higher education and supply chain software. With respect to expanding existing customer relationships, the team deepened, broadened and grew customer relationships to over 10% of our customer base across the following verticals: retail, non-profit, government contractor, entertainment, business consulting, pharmaceutical, and medical services.
  
  
• New Partnerships: Selectica's Global Alliance team successfully expanded its indirect sales channel by signing three new global partners and alliances: Beroe Inc., Partners in Performance, and Xoomworks Consulting and Outsourcing. Through these new partnerships, Selectica contract management and strategic sourcing solutions will be poised to penetrate areas of the globe not currently served by the direct sales team, including India, Australia, New Zealand, and expanded areas of the United Kingdom.
  
  
• Industry Recognition and Awards:
  
  
  • Selectica 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 Selectica clients "Practitioner Pros to Know" as exceptional corporate executives: Nancy Jorgensen while at Brunswick, Joanna Martinez from Cushman & Wakefield, Lou Galczynski from Endo, James Gavin McCarthy from Equifax, Jason East from YP, and Michael Morris from Owens Corning 2015.
    
    
• Thought Leadership: In Q1 FY2016, the company held three educational and highly attended customer and prospective client webinars addressing relevant trends and business challenges -- importance of contract workflow, how technologies impact procurement organizations and holistic end-to-end approach in source-to-pay. In addition to the three webinars, Andrew Bartolini, Chief Research Officer of Ardent, interviewed Patrick Stakenas, discussing how CLM technology provides holistic buy and sell-side benefits.
  
  
• Growing Organization: Selectica promoted Patrick Stakenas to President and 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.

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. 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, while our non-GAAP gross profit also excludes the amortization of intangibles that occurred due to the acquisition of the entities of Iasta.
