Selectica Announces Financial Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2014


SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 8, 2013) - Selectica, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLTC), provider of software that accelerates sales cycles and streamlines contract processes, today announced financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Selectica Chairman Michael Brodsky said, "Our first quarter was overall weaker than anticipated. However, I remain fully confident in our potential to continue to grow our top-tier client base and seize the opportunity to supply best-in-class CPQ and contract management solutions to a growing, global market."

"We're pleased to have completed a capital raise earlier in the quarter resulting in net proceeds of approximately $5.2 million through the sale of stock and warrants," said Todd Spartz, Selectica Chief Financial Officer. "We did, however, recognize increased bad debt, resulting in a quarter-over-quarter increase of $415,000 within general administrative expense."

Financial highlights

Selectica delivered the following financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2014:

  • Recurring revenue: Selectica grew recurring revenue from $2.6 million in Q1 FY 2013 to $3.2 million in Q1 FY2014, a year-over-year increase of 20%.
  • Billings: Billings for Q1 FY2014 were $3.3 million, compared to $4.1 million in Q1 FY2013, a 21% decrease year-over-year. Billings were $6.7 million in Q4 FY2013. 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: As of Q1 FY2014, the company had deferred revenue of $6.8 million, a 2% year-over-year increase from Q1 FY2013, when deferred revenue was $6.7 million. As of Q4 FY2013, deferred revenue was $7.9 million.
