Raises 2015 Guidance for Full Year Revenue and Operating Margin

HOLON, Israel, Aug. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Sapiens International Corporation, (NASDAQ and TASE: SPNS), a leading global provider of software solutions for the insurance industry, with an emerging focus on the broader financial services sector, and a member of the Formula Group (NASDAQ: FORTY and TASE: FORTY), today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

·Non-GAAP operating profit increase by 61.0% and totaled $6.4 million or 14.8% operating margin, compared to $4.0 million, or 10.4% operating margin, in the second quarter of 2014.

 

·Non-GAAP net income attributable to Sapiens’ shareholders totaled $5.2 million or $0.11 per diluted share increase of 45.2% compared to $3.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share in the second quarter last year.

 

·Cash, cash equivalents and securities investments as of June 30, 2015 was approximately $89.8 million, the company has no debt.

 

·The Company increased full-year 2015 guidance. Management now expects revenues to be in a range of $176-$180 million, and operating margin to be in a range of 14%-14.5%

 

“We are pleased to report another strong quarter,” said Roni Al-Dor, President and CEO of Sapiens. “Solid growth and performance across all of our offerings, from all geographies, enabled us to deliver another quarter of double-digit revenue growth. We are seeing the benefits of our business model as operating margins expanded as a result of improvements in our base business that have led to a more efficient cost structure. We believe our first half results and our expectations for the second half of 2015 affirm our growth strategy and provide us with additional clarity to raise our guidance for the full year.”

Mr. Al-Dor continued, “The investments we have made in products and sales have strengthened our competitive position and are driving customer wins around the world. We have developed a strong line up of industry leading technology solutions that are clearly resonating with both new and existing customers, resulting in new wins during the quarter. Our recent acquisition of Insseco, which is not reflected in the results of the second quarter, opens a presence for us in Poland and expands the company’s solid footprint in Europe. In addition, Sapiens expects to establish a regional delivery and development center in Poland to further support our global operations.”

 

Increased 2015 Outlook

 

Mr. Al-Dor added, “Based on the strength of our first half results and our outlook for the remainder of the year, we are raising our 2015 full year guidance. Acquisitions and recent contract wins are driving higher top-line growth while higher margin revenues and our on-going pursuit of operational efficiencies are having a positive impact on our operating margins.”

 

·Full year 2015 revenue in the range of $176-$180 million, up from previous guidance of $174-$178 million, representing growth of approximately 20% over the prior year, on a constant currency basis.

 

·Operating margins in the range of 14%-14.5%, up from previous guidance of 12%-13%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: Non-GAAP revenue, Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP net income attributed to Sapiens shareholders, Non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share.

 

Sapiens believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Sapiens' financial condition and results of operations. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company's performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, for purposes of determining executive and senior management incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. These measures are used in financial reports prepared for management and in quarterly financial reports presented to the Company's board of directors. The Company believes 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 the Company's financial measures with other software companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

 

Management of the Company does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. Sapiens urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which it includes in press releases announcing quarterly financial results, including this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company's business.

 

Reconciliation tables of the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are included with the financial tables of this release.

 

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net Profit, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, capitalized internal-use software development costs, Amortization of internal-use software development costs interest expense, provision for income taxes and other income (expenses). These amounts are often excluded by other companies to help investors understand the operational performance of their business. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measurement of its operating performance because it assists in comparing the operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain non-cash and non-operating items. Adjusted EBITDA reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the operations that the Company believes, when viewed with the GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.
