Selectica Announces Earnings for Third Quarter Fiscal 2012

11% Increase in Quarterly Recurring Revenues Demonstrates Company's Continued Success in Transitioning to the Cloud


SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwire - Feb 2, 2012) - Selectica, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLTC), provider of cloud-based sales configuration and contract lifecycle management (CLM) solutions, today announced unaudited financial results for its third quarter ended December 31, 2011. In Q3 FY 2012, the company increased quarterly recurring revenues by 11% as compared to the previous year.

Selectica also announced that in Q4 FY 2012 it will make a shift to reporting metrics that are more consistent with how other public software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies report their financial performance.

Highlights for Q3 FY 2012:

  • 100% of new customer deals were subscription-based
  • Selectica Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) 5 was announced, with enhanced capabilities in workflow, reporting, mobile, and other key areas
  • New management hires added significant experience delivering cloud solutions

"We did more transactions in the first three quarters of this fiscal year than we did all of last fiscal year," said Jason Stern, president and chief executive officer at Selectica. "We also saw recurring revenues as a percentage of all revenues climb to 69% for the quarter, the highest level I've seen in my time at Selectica. That increase is yet another indication of the success we're having in making the transition to being a SaaS provider."

Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was $3.3 million, compared to $3.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, and $3.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Revenue split was 17% license and subscription revenue, 51% maintenance and support revenue, and 32% professional services and other revenue.

Net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was $1.4 million, or $(0.52) per share, compared to a net loss of $2.1 million, or $(0.74) per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and a net loss of $54,000, or $(0.02) per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.
