Selectica Announces Financial Results for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2014


SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 7, 2013) - Selectica, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLTC), provider of software that accelerates sales cycles and streamlines contract processes, today announced financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Selectica Chairman and CEO Michael Brodsky said, "The weak second quarter results prompted the company to initiate a significant reorganization of the senior management. We recruited a team of highly experienced professionals with a track record of successful collaboration. During the quarter the team initiated a review of many of the company's key business tactics and processes, with a special focus on an assessing the company's delivery organization. After careful analysis, we determined that our success in the implementation function of the business required greater focus to maintain the satisfaction of our existing top-tier, multinational customer base. As a result of the special focus on the delivery infrastructure, we proactively decelerated sales activity for a temporary period, which is now complete."

"I am pleased with the disciplined approach we have taken toward the business, and early indications from key customers is that significant progress in the quality of implementation of our product is being made," added Brodsky. "The new team is firmly in place and I look forward to positive results as we focus on delivering on our growing pipeline of new prospects for our industry-leading CPQ and contract management solutions and our best-in-class service."

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

  • Recurring revenue: Recurring revenue was essentially unchanged from Q2 FY 2013 to Q2 FY 2014 at $3.0 million and declined from $3.2 million in Q1 FY 2014
  • Operating Expenses: Operating expenses were $3.5 million in Q2 FY 2014 compared to $3.8 million in Q2 FY 2013 and $4.7 million in Q1 FY 2014. The decrease primarily relates to the capitalization of certain research and development expenses in Q2 FY 2014, and the reversal of certain stock compensation charges related to terminated employees in Q2 FY 2014 and certain bad debt expenses incurred in Q1 FY 2014.
  • Billings: Billings for Q2 FY2014 were $3.3 million, compared to $3.8 million in Q2 FY 2013 and $3.3M in Q1 FY 2014.
