Company Sees Year-Over-Year Growth in Billings and Deferred and Recurring Revenue


SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwire - Jul 26, 2012) - Selectica, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLTC), provider of software that accelerates sales cycles and streamlines contract processes, today announced financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2013, ended June 30, 2012.

"Our ongoing transition to a software-as-a-service (SaaS) business model continues to progress as planned," said Selectica President and CEO Jason Stern. "The first quarter of fiscal 2013 marked the start of year two of our three-year plan, and we closed it out with year-over-year growth in all of our key financial metrics: recurring revenue, billings, and deferred revenue."

Financial highlights
Selectica delivered the following financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013:

  • Recurring revenue: Selectica grew recurring revenue from $2.2 million in Q1 FY 2012 to $2.6 million in Q1 FY2013, a year-over-year increase of 18%. Recurring revenue in Q4 FY2012 was $2.3 million.

  • Billings: Billings for Q1 FY2013 were $4.1 million, compared to $3.3 million in Q1 FY2012, a 24% increase year-over-year. Billings were $5.4 million in Q4 FY2012. The company defines billings, a non-GAAP financial measure, as revenue recognized during the period plus the change in deferred revenue from the beginning to the end of the period. Please refer to the financial tables below for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to GAAP.

  • Deferred revenue: In Q1 FY2013, the company had deferred revenue of $6.7 million, a 72% year-over-year increase over Q1 FY2012, when deferred revenue was $3.9 million. In Q4 FY2012, deferred revenue was $6.7 million.

Business highlights
Business highlights from Q1 FY2013 include:

  • Fusion '12 user conference: Selectica held its annual user conference May 15-17 in Napa, California, with customers from a vast array of industries gathered for customer showcases, industry-specific roundtables, open labs, and panel discussions featuring fellow users and the Selectica team. The event was the largest and best attended since the conference began in 2007.

  • Selectica named an American Business Awards Finalist: Selectica Guided Selling was chosen as a Finalist by the American Business Awards in the "Best New Software Product or Service of the Year, Cloud Application or Service" category. Selectica will ultimately be named a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Stevie® Award winner when results are announced at the 10th Annual Stevie Awards ceremony in San Francisco, California on September 17, 2012.

  • Investment in growth: Selectica made additional investments in its sales and services teams, further positioning itself to support the needs of its expanding customer base and to meet growing market demand for configure-price-quote (CPQ) and contract lifecycle management (CLM) solutions.

Additional results
Total revenues for Q1 FY2013 were $4.2 million, compared to $3.8 million for Q1 FY2012, a year-over-year increase of 11%. Total revenues were $3.2 million in Q4 FY2012.

Net loss for Q1 FY2013 was $709,000, or $(0.25) per share, compared to a net loss of $596,000, or $(0.21) per share in Q1 FY2012, and a net loss of $2.2 million, or $(0.78) per share, in Q4 FY2012.
