Model N Announces First Quarter Fiscal Year 2021 Financial Results

Total Revenues of $42.7 Million, up 11% Year-over-Year;

Subscription Revenues of $31.4 Million, up 12% Year-over-Year

SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#earnings--Model N, Inc. (NYSE: MODN), the leader in cloud revenue management solutions, today announced financial results for the first quarter fiscal year 2021 ended December 31, 2020.

“Our first quarter results exceeded expectations across every metric, and we achieved another quarter of record revenue,” said Jason Blessing, president and chief executive officer of Model N. “Looking ahead, I am even more excited about Model N’s future. We believe our recently completed acquisition of Deloitte’s pricing and contracting solutions business will bolster our already strong foundation, significantly expand our addressable market and enable even more opportunities for success in fiscal year 2021 and beyond. With this acquisition, we added significant Life Sciences talent, customers, and a purpose-built technology to our already formidable company, making the new Model N an even more valued partner to the customers we serve.”

Recent Highlights

  • Top Life Sciences Companies Pursue Cloud-First Strategies with SaaS Transitions - During the quarter, global Life Sciences customers Johnson & Johnson and Fresenius agreed to transition from on-premise versions of revenue management to Model N Revenue Cloud for Life Sciences. We believe the move to the cloud will give these industry leaders the agility to adapt quickly to governmental and other commercial changes as well as the flexibility and productivity improvements required by global businesses. The transition to Model N Revenue Cloud is an important part of many companies’ digital-transformation strategies.
  • A Record Number of Companies Go-Live with Model N Solutions - Model N Life Sciences and High Tech customers implemented Model N solutions at record levels with 20 projects going live in the quarter. These projects included launching new products like Validata and Intelligence within existing customers, rolling out solutions in new geographies, and upgrading customers to current versions of Model N solutions. Despite the continued remote working environment, Model N’s professional services teams were able to continue their impressive record of on time and on budget delivery.
  • Model N Acquires Deloitte’s Pricing and Contracting Services Business - At the end of the first quarter, Model N acquired the pricing and contracting services business and its underlying technology from Deloitte & Touche LLP. We believe the acquisition will expand Model N’s addressable market and allow the company to better serve the broader Life Sciences market by adding software plus expert services to Model N’s industry-leading solutions. Through the acquisition, the company added new Life Sciences talent, customers, and a purpose-built technology that complement Model N and increased its value to its customers.
  • Model N Announces New Chief Financial Officer - In January, technology veteran John Ederer joined Model N as its new chief financial officer. Ederer brings 28 years of financial leadership to the company with high-growth companies including K2 Inc., MobileIron, TIBCO Software, Concur Technologies, SAP Business Objects and others. With his extensive experience leading finance departments and partnering with sales and product teams, Ederer will be a key member of Model N’s executive team and will help shape the company in its next stage of growth.

This press release contains forward-looking statements including, among other things, statements regarding Model N’s second quarter and full year fiscal 2021 financial results, the impact COVID-19 will have on our business, Model N’s profitability, future planned enhancements to our products and benefits from our products, and expected benefits from our acquisition. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. Risks include, but are not limited to: (i) delays in closing customer contracts; (ii) our ability to improve and sustain our sales execution; (iii) the timing of new orders and the associated revenue recognition; (iv) adverse changes in general economic or market conditions; (v) delays or reductions in information technology spending and resulting variability in customer orders from quarter to quarter; (vi) competitive factors, including but not limited to pricing pressures, industry consolidation, entry of new competitors and new applications and marketing initiatives by our competitors; (vii) our ability to manage our growth effectively; (viii) acceptance of our applications and services by customers; (ix) success of new products; (x) the risk that the strategic initiatives that we may pursue will not result in significant future revenues; (xi) changes in health care regulation and policy and tax in the United States and worldwide; (xii) our ability to retain customers; (xiii) adverse impacts on our business and financial condition due to COVID-19; and (xiv) the possibility that the expected benefits related to our acquisition may not materialize as expected and the ability to successfully integrate Deloitte’s life sciences pricing and contracting solutions business and underlying technology. Further information on risks that could affect Model N’s results is included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including our most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, and any current reports on Form 8-K that we may file from time to time. Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could differ materially from expectations. Model N assumes no obligation to, and does not currently intend to, update any such forward-looking statements after the date of this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures below. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.

Our reported results include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP subscription gross profit, non-GAAP subscription gross margin, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, and adjusted EBITDA. Non-GAAP gross profit excludes stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, and deferred revenue adjustments as they are often excluded by other companies to help investors understand the operational performance of their business. Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations excludes stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related expense, and deferred revenue adjustments. Non-GAAP net income (loss) excludes stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related expense, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, and deferred revenue adjustments. Additionally, stock-based compensation expense varies from period to period and from company to company due to such things as valuation methodologies and changes in stock price. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss, adjusted for depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense, deferred revenue adjustment, interest (income) expense, net, other (income) expenses, net, and provision for (benefit from) income taxes. Reconciliation tables are provided in this press release.

We have not reconciled guidance for non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures because certain items that impact these measures are uncertain, out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted or estimated, such as the difficulties of estimating certain items such as charges to stock-based compensation expense. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, we use non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA, gross profit, gross margin, income from operations, net income, weighted average shares outstanding and net income per share, which are adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related expense, and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs and include dilutive shares where applicable. We believe these adjustments are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our past financial performance and also our prospects for the future. These adjustments to our current period GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of our underlying operating results and trends and our marketplace performance. The non-GAAP results are an indication of our baseline performance that are considered by management for the purpose of making operational decisions. In addition, these non-GAAP results are the primary indicators management uses as a basis for our planning and forecasting of future periods.
