Coupa Software Reports Financial Results For the First Quarter of Fiscal 2020

SAN MATEO, Calif., June 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Coupa Software (NASDAQ: COUP) today announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2019.

Coupa Software (PRNewsfoto/Coupa Software)

"In the first quarter, we delivered strong financial results, including record quarterly total revenues, subscription revenues, and calculated billings, as we continued to execute on our business plan and further solidify our position as the clear leader in Business Spend Management," said Rob Bernshteyn, chairman and chief executive officer at Coupa. "On the business front, in the quarter we increased our cumulative spend under management to nearly $1.2 trillion, an increase of 60% compared to the end of the first quarter last year, as we continue to deliver repeatable, measurable value for customers worldwide. Through innovations in the Coupa BSM Platform, including areas like Coupa Community Intelligence, we're empowering everyone in the BSM community to spend smarter together."  

See the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the reconciliation tables below for important details regarding Coupa's non-GAAP measures. Coupa defines (i) calculated billings as the change in deferred revenue on the balance sheet for the period, plus revenue recognized during the period and (ii) free cash flows as operating cash flows less purchases of property and equipment.

First Quarter Results

  • Total revenues were $81.3 million, an increase of 44% compared to the same period last year. Subscription revenues were $73.0 million, an increase of 46% compared to the same period last year.
  • GAAP loss from operations was $17.8 million, compared to a loss of $12.1 million for the same period last year. Non-GAAP operating income was $2.2 million, compared to operating income of $0.3 million for the same period last year.
  • GAAP net loss was $20.5 million, compared to a loss of $15.5 million for the same period last year. GAAP net loss per basic and diluted share was $0.34, compared to a loss of $0.28 for the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income was $2.1 million, compared to a loss of $0.5 million for the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.03, compared to loss of $0.01 for the same period last year.
  • Operating cash flows and free cash flows for the quarter ended April 30, 2019, were $18.8 million and $16.1 million, respectively.

Business Outlook:

The following forward-looking statements reflect Coupa's expectations as of June 3, 2019.

Second quarter of fiscal 2020:

  • Total revenues are expected to be between $84.5 and $85.5 million.
  • Subscription revenues are expected to be between $77.0 and $78.0 million.
  • Professional services and other revenues are expected to be approximately $7.5 million.
  • Non-GAAP loss from operations is expected to be between $6.5 and $7.5 million.
  • Non-GAAP net loss per basic and diluted share is expected to be between $0.10 loss and $0.12 loss per share.
  • Basic weighted average share count is expected to be approximately 62.0 million shares.

Full year fiscal 2020:

  • Total revenues are expected to be between $342.0 and $344.0 million.
  • Non-GAAP income from operations is expected to be between $7.0 and $9.0 million.
  • Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be between $0.07 and $0.10 per share.
  • Diluted weighted average share count is expected to be approximately 70.0 million shares.

Coupa has not reconciled its expectations for non-GAAP income (loss) from operations to GAAP loss from operations or non-GAAP net income (loss) per share to GAAP net loss per share because certain items excluded from non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss), such as charges related to share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs from our convertible notes, and related tax effects, cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time. In addition, the effect of the anti-dilutive impact of the capped call transactions entered into in connection with the convertible notes cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time. The effect of these items may be significant.

Recent Business Highlights:

  • Welcomed many new customers into the Coupa community in Q1, including the following: Altima Dental Canada, American Red Cross, Ancora Education, Apeel Sciences, Arkansas Blue Cross & Blue Shield, Axovant, Baylor University, Bonduelle, Dairy Farm International Holdings, Exxaro Resources, Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana, Huber+Suhner, Kroger, LogicMonitor, Mesosphere, Mongo DB, Pendo, Primax, Provident Mexico, Ra Pharma, Rotoplas, Starkey Laboratories, US Postal Service, VielaBio, Wikimedia Foundation, and Zocdoc.
  • Launched the Coupa Business Spend Index (BSI), a leading indicator of economic growth based on current business spending decisions of hundreds of businesses. The Coupa BSI is a 100% behavior-based index based on three key spend factors: (1) average rate of spend approval/rejection, (2) average time to approve spend decisions, and (3) average spend per person.
  • Completed the acquisition of Exari, a leading provider of contract lifecycle management (CLM) solutions. The acquisition extends the Coupa Contract Management solution with advanced CLM capabilities, including functionality for contract creation, collaboration, and discovery, enabling companies to comprehensively manage the entire contract lifecycle and operationalize their contracts against spend transactions.

International parties should call +1 (404) 537-3406 and enter conference code 6983949.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables contain certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items, including share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs from convertible notes, and related tax effects. In addition, the weighted average diluted shares used to calculate non-GAAP net income per share reflect the anti-dilutive impact of the capped call transactions entered into in connection with the convertible notes. Coupa believes these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating its operating performance and regularly reviews these measures as it evaluates its business.

Coupa believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors and other users of its financial information consistency and comparability with its past financial performance and facilitate period to period comparisons of operations. Coupa believes these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating its operating performance compared to that of other companies in its industry, as they generally eliminate the effects of certain items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

Coupa uses these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP measures as part of its overall assessment of its performance, including the preparation of its annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies and to communicate with its board of directors concerning its financial performance. The definitions of its non-GAAP measures may differ from the definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar metrics. Thus, Coupa's non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Coupa compensates for these limitations by providing investors and other users of its financial information a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the related GAAP financial measures. Coupa encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view its non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures.  Please see the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures attached to this release.

Coupa also uses key metrics such as cumulative spend under management, which represents the aggregate amount of money that has been transacted through its core platform for all of its customers collectively since it launched its platform. Coupa calculates this metric by aggregating the actual transaction data, for invoices, purchase orders and expenses, from customers on its core platform. While Coupa does not believe this metric is directly correlated to its financial results, it believes that the adoption of its core platform, as evidenced by growth in cumulative spend under management, drives additional value to its customers, which will enhance its ability to acquire new customers and to increase renewals and upsells to existing customers.

Forward-Looking Statements:

This release includes forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts, including the statements of management and statements in "Business Outlook" are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on Coupa's current expectations and projections about future events and trends that Coupa believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, strategy, short- and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs.

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results to differ materially, including Coupa has a limited operating history, which makes it difficult to predict its future operating results; if Coupa is unable to attract new customers, the growth of its revenues will be adversely affected; because its platform is sold to large enterprises with complex operating environments, Coupa encounters long and unpredictable sales cycles; risks and liabilities related to breach of its security measures or unauthorized access to customer data; the markets in which Coupa participates are intensely competitive; Coupa's business depends substantially on its customers renewing their subscriptions and purchasing additional subscriptions; if Coupa fails to develop widespread brand awareness cost-effectively, its business may suffer; and if Coupa fails to manage its recent rapid growth effectively, Coupa may be unable to execute its business plan, maintain high levels of service, or adequately address competitive challenges.

These and other risks and uncertainties that could affect Coupa's future results are included under the captions "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in Coupa's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 27, 2019, which is available at investors.coupa.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Further information on potential risks that could affect actual results will be included in other periodic filings Coupa makes with the SEC.

The forward-looking statements in this release reflect Coupa's expectations as of June 3, 2019. Coupa undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this release to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in its expectations.

Non-GAAP net income per share is calculated based upon 60,785 basic and 68,945 diluted weighted-average shares of common stock. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the non-GAAP diluted shares related to the convertible notes which reflects the anti-dilutive impact of the capped call transactions entered into in connection with the convertible notes.
