Covisint Corporation Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 Financial Results

DETROIT, Feb. 04, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Covisint Corporation (Nasdaq:COVS), the leading Cloud Platform for building Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2016, which ended December 31, 2015.

"While Covisint’s total revenue for the quarter was in line with our expectations, we are disappointed with our results for subscription revenue. I remain confident that the steps we are taking are the right ones, however, results from the transition we embarked upon last year are taking longer to materialize,” said Covisint Chairman and CEO, Sam Inman. “We continue to make excellent progress in other areas of the business. In particular, we have made much more progress in a shorter period of time than we expected in enhancing the Covisint Cloud platform. We are also pleased with the progress we have made in redefining our brand and positioning our company in the marketplace.”

Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 Financial Highlights

Revenue

  • Total revenue was $19.2 million, a decrease of 12% compared to $21.8 million in the prior year period.
  • Subscription revenue was $15.3 million, a decrease of 3% compared to $15.7 million in the prior year period. Subscription revenue increased 9% excluding subscription revenue related to exited business.
  • Services revenue was $3.9 million, a decrease of 36% compared to $6.1 million in the prior year period. The decline is primarily attributable to the Company’s stated strategy to shift this business to certified service partners.

Profitability

  • GAAP gross margin was 54%, compared to 54% in the prior fiscal quarter and 34% in the prior year period. 
  • Non-GAAP gross margin was 58%, compared to 59% in the prior fiscal quarter and 42% in the prior year period. 
  • GAAP net loss was $4.1 million or ($0.10) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $7.0 million or ($0.18) per diluted share in the prior year.
  • Non-GAAP net loss was $3.8 million or ($0.09) per diluted share, compared to net loss of $4.3 million or ($0.11) per diluted share in the prior year.

Balance Sheet

  • The Company had $37.6 million in cash, cash equivalents at December 31, 2015, compared with $41.7 million at September 30, 2015. 

Third Quarter Fiscal 2016 Business Highlights

  • Selected by a leading European Automotive OEM as their global standard for identity management. Through this new five-year, non-cancellable agreement, this customer will use Covisint's cloud identity management services as the core technology behind their digital transformation initiative, enabling faster and more secure information exchange across their ecosystem of over 100,000 people, systems and things.
  • Chief Security Officer, David Miller presented on securing the Internet of Things at Gartner Symposium/ITExpo. During the session titled “Simply Securing the IoT as Connectivity Complexity Continues to Mount,” Miller discussed how leveraging a secure cloud platform unlocks the value of IoT for complex, connected product initiatives.
  • Spoke on securing the connection between the cloud and car at the Connected Mobility Summit. The session addressed the security and privacy challenges to be expected as vehicles become part of the Internet of Things. Additionally, visitors were able to see live demonstrations on how the Covisint platform has enabled Hyundai’s Blue Link system in a Hyundai Sonata Eco.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Covisint monitors non-GAAP measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share. Each of these financial measures excludes the impact of certain items (the impact of stock award compensation expense, the amortization and impairment of intangible assets and amounts incurred for capitalized internal software costs) and, therefore, has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Covisint monitors these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its ongoing operational performance and enhance an overall understanding of its past financial performance. Covisint believes that these non-GAAP metrics help illustrate underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that are excluded in non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share. Furthermore, Covisint uses these measures to establish budgets and operational goals for managing its business and evaluating its performance. Covisint also believes that these non-GAAP measures provide additional tools for investors to use in comparing its recurring core business operating results over multiple periods against other companies in its industry.

The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included with the financial statements contained in this press release. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating its business internally and as such has determined that it is important to provide this information to investors.

Conference Call and Webcast Information

Covisint management will hold a conference call at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) today to discuss these results. The U.S. toll free dial-in for the conference call is 1-877-407-4018, and the international dial-in number is 1-201-689-8471. No passcode is required. A live webcast of the conference call will also be available on the company's website at investors.covisint.com.
