“In Q3 we completed a thorough review of our business and took the necessary steps to re-align our operations to better support our most promising growth opportunities, primarily our PBM services and transaction processing businesses,” said Gordon S. Glenn, Chairman and CEO of SXC. “Over the past eight quarters we have grown recurring revenue in these businesses from $9.3 million per quarter to $17.3 million.  While our overall growth rates during this period of transition to a more full-service PBM business model have been below our expectations, we will continue to invest in the fastest growing segments of our business to leverage our unique value proposition and capitalize on our growing pipeline. In addition to organic growth we will continue to review accretive acquisitions that would complement or expand our business.”

Financial Review
Total revenue for Q3 2007 was $22.2 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 6%, from $21.0 million in Q3 2006. Year-to-date (“YTD”) revenue was $69.6 million, an 18% increase over the same period in 2006.  Revenue growth for the Q3 and the YTD periods was driven primarily by an increase in transaction processing volume which was offset in part by a reduction in Medicare Part D Program-related consulting and implementation activity during the same periods of the prior year.

Recurring revenue was $17.3 million in Q3 2007, up 22% compared to $14.3 million for the same period last year. Recurring revenue consisted of transaction processing revenue of $13.2 million, up 27% from $10.4 million for Q3 2006, and maintenance revenue of $4.1 million, up 8% from $3.8 million in Q3 2006.  Overall, recurring revenue accounted for 78% of total revenue in Q3 2007, compared to 68% in Q3 2006.


 
 

 
 
 

Driven by an increase in its PBM services business, SXC’s transaction volume increased 39% from 77.2 million in Q3 2006 to 106.5 million in Q3 2007. Average revenue per transaction declined slightly year-over-year due primarily to the deferral of revenue from certain Q3 2007 transactions. As noted in its October 1, 2007 press release, some of SXC’s recent InformedRx contract awards require the Company to defer certain revenues until future delivery of services such as rebate collection and submission has been completed, and/or the achievement of performance measures such as call center or network performance objectives has been met. In the coming quarters, SXC expects to reach the bulk of these performance objectives and to recognize a majority of the revenue that has been deferred or reserved.

YTD recurring revenue was $52.4 million, up 34% compared to $39.2 million for the same period last year.  For the YTD period, recurring revenue consisted of transaction processing revenue of $40.1 million, up 42% from $28.2 million last year, and maintenance revenue of $12.3 million, up 12% from last year.  Overall, recurring revenue accounted for 75% of total YTD revenue in 2007, compared to 67% in the same period in 2006.

Non-recurring revenue was $4.9 million for Q3 2007 compared to $6.8 million in Q3 2006. Non-recurring revenue consisted of system sales revenue of $1.5 million, down 45% from $2.7 million last year, and professional service revenue of $3.4 million, down 17% from $4.1 million in Q3 2006.

YTD non-recurring revenue was $17.2 million, compared to $19.7 million in the same period last year. For the YTD period, non-recurring revenue consisted of system sales revenue of $7.2 million, down 4% from $7.5 million last year, and professional service revenue of $10.0 million, down 18% from $12.2 million last year. Non-recurring revenue declined due in large part to delays in the signing of certain systems sales contracts and an influx of professional service work for certain Medicare Part D customers that was completed in 2006.

Gross profit margin in Q3 2007 was 56% compared to 61% for the same period last year. YTD gross profit margin was 59%, compared to 60% in the same period of the prior year. The year-over-year change in gross margin was primarily due to a decrease in high margin system sales, approximately $0.2 million in severance costs, the aforementioned deferral of certain transaction processing revenue and increased investment in our infrastructure to support our pharmacy benefits administrative services offering. This was partially offset by the 42% increase in our strong margin transaction processing revenue.

Q3 2007 product development expenses were $2.3 million, or 11% of revenue, compared to $2.3 million, or 11% of revenue, in Q3 2006. YTD product development expenses were $7.8 million, or 11% of revenue, compared to $6.4 million, or 11% of revenue, in the same period last year. Year-over-year, product development expenses rose primarily due to the redeployment of personnel resources from certain completed professional services projects to product enhancement and new product development initiatives.

Q3 2007 selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $6.4 million, or 29% of revenue, compared with $4.5 million, or 22% of revenue, in Q3 2006. SG&A costs in Q3 2007 included severance costs of $0.3 million resulting from the Company’s previously announced re-alignment plan. The plan saw the Company reduce its workforce by approximately 7% to generate cost savings and to be in a position to deploy a portion of the savings to support growth in the fastest growing segments of the business. SG&A in Q3 2007 also continued to experience higher then expected legal and professional fees associated with delayed and protested contracts as well as well as additional receivables reserves of approximately $0.6 million.

YTD SG&A expenses were $18.7 million, or 27% of revenue, compared to $12.7 million, or 22% of revenue, in the same period last year. Year-over-year, SG&A expenses rose primarily due to the ongoing investment in personnel and infrastructure costs to support the Company’s growth, a significant increase in public reporting costs resulting from the listing of SXC’s shares in the U.S., and the aforementioned charges.

Adjusted EBITDA1 for Q3 2007 was $3.7 million, or 17% of revenue, compared to $6.0 million, or 29% of revenue, for the same period of 2006. YTD, Adjusted EBITDA was $14.9 million, or 21% of revenue, compared to $16.4 million, or 28% of revenue, in the same period last year. Year-over-year, lower adjusted EBITDA reflects the decrease in high margin systems sales revenue and expense increases in product development and SG&A, partially offset by the increase in transaction processing revenue. Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2007 and the YTD period was also impacted by the $0.7 million severance charge, additional receivables reserves and the higher than expected legal and professional fees.


 
 

 

 
 
Income before income taxes was $2.4 million in Q3 2007, compared to $4.2 million in Q3 2006. YTD income before income taxes was $11.9 million, compared to $11.2 million in the same period last year. In fiscal 2006, SXC incurred a blended tax rate of approximately 17%, while in fiscal 2007, the Company expects to be taxable at a rate of approximately 23%.

SXC reported net income of $2.7 million, or $0.12 per share (fully-diluted), in Q3 2007 compared to net income of $2.5 million, or $0.12 per share (fully-diluted), for the same period last year. Q3 2007 net income was impacted negatively by $0.05 per share due to $0.7 million in severance costs combined with $0.6 million in additional receivables reserves as well as higher than expected legal and professional fees. This $0.05 impact was offset by an income tax benefit of $0.3 million recognized in Q3 2007.

YTD, SXC reported net income of $9.4 million, or $0.43 per share, compared to net income of $10.2 million, or $0.54 per share, in the same period last year.

Liquidity and Resources
SXC has a strong balance sheet from which to pursue its growth initiatives. At September 30, 2007, the Company had cash and cash-equivalents of $81.1 million, compared with $70.9 million of cash and cash-equivalents at December 31, 2006. SXC also continues to generate strong cash from operations. The Company’s quarterly cash flows can be impacted by the timing of pharmacy deposit and rebate payments it receives for certain customers, and as a result, SXC measures its cash from operations performance on a year-to-date basis.  YTD, SXC has generated $11.9 million in cash from operations. Net of pharmacy deposits and rebates payments, YTD cash from operations is approximately $11.5 million.

2007 Financial Guidance
SXC’s guidance for fiscal 2007:
 
Consolidated revenue of $92-$93 million
 
Adjusted EBITDA of $19-$20 million
 
Pre-tax income of $15.5-$16.5 million
 
Based on an expected tax rate of 23%, the Company has revised its earnings per share (EPS) guidance from October 1, 2007, and now expects EPS (fully-diluted) of $0.55-$0.60

1Non-GAAP Financial Measures
SXC reports its financial results in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). SXC’s management also evaluates and makes operating decisions using various other measures. Two such measures are book of business and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. SXC’s management believes that these measures provide useful supplemental information regarding the performance of SXC’s business operations.

Book of business is management’s estimate of the total revenue expected to be recognized over future periods generally not exceeding three years based on the existing portfolio of in-place contracts at a point in time. It is composed of two components: (1) revenue expected to be recognized over such period from in-place renewable contracts related to transaction processing, and maintenance contracts described as recurring revenues in the above discussion; and (2) revenue expected to be recognized from in-place professional services and systems sales contracts, described as non-recurring revenues in the above discussion. SXC’s book of business at any time does not indicate demand for the Company’s products and services and may not reflect actual revenue for any period in the future.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that management believes is a useful supplemental measure of operating performance prior to net interest income (expense), income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, debt service, and certain other one-time charges. Management believes it is useful to exclude depreciation, amortization and net interest income (expense) as these are essentially fixed amounts that cannot be influenced by management in the short term.  In addition, management believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation as this is not a cash expense.  Lastly, debt service and certain other one-time charges (including lease termination charges and losses on disposals of capital assets) are excluded as these are not recurring items.

Management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding the performance of the Company’s business operations and facilitates comparisons to its historical operating results. Management also uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting as it believes that the measure is indicative of the Company’s core operating results. Note however, that adjusted EBITDA is a performance measure only, and it does not provide any measure of the Company’s cash flow or liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP, and investors and potential investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. The Company's method of calculating adjusted EBITDA may differ from the methods used by other companies and, accordingly, it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income is shown below:
