Second Quarter 2016 Operational Highlights
- Deepened European market presence through partnership with Payscape, a leading payroll provider based in the UK, who will offer Asure's time and labor management solutions.
- Formed a technology partnership with Quora to provide Asure's clients with real-time analytics to help them optimize and enable change in their workplace environment and workforce.

Financial Outlook
On a proforma basis, including the company's acquisition of Mangrove on March 21, 2016 and under the condition that Mangrove and Asure had been combined as a single company on January 1, 2016, Asure management increased its guidance for fiscal 2016 ending December 31:

Management Commentary
"We entered Q2 having just completed the acquisition of Mangrove Software, but exited the quarter as a more complete, unified, and stronger organization," said Pat Goepel, CEO of Asure Software. "During the quarter, we not only were able to fully integrate Mangrove into our operations, but also began to realize some of the cost-saving synergies and cross-selling activity we forecasted prior to the acquisition. In fact, our HCM solution has already begun to gain traction with some of our existing customers, demonstrating the immediate benefits of having a more well-rounded solution to address the full spectrum of today's workforce challenges.
"Looking beyond Mangrove, our core workspace and time and labor management solutions continued to drive strong growth during Q2. On a pro-forma basis, revenue was up 8%, gross margin up 11%, and EBITDA excluding one-time expenses up 87%—all over the same year-ago period. We also realized a profit during the quarter, despite a considerable amount of one-time expenses related to the acquisition, which we expect to largely disappear during the third quarter. While our cloud bookings were down year-over-year, due to a significant win we secured in Q2 of last year, our cloud revenue continued to grow appreciably, mainly because of our continued success in migrating our on-premise clients to the cloud.
"To add to that, we experienced a more streamlined backlog conversion process. With the acquisition behind us, we were able to put the right measures in place to more quickly and effectively convert our backlog into realized revenue. In Q2, we experienced some of the fruits of that labor, with backlog decreasing on both a sequential and year-over-year basis. Combining this improved backlog system with a reorganized sales force to focus on larger and more meaningful deals, we believe our sales pipeline is on track to grow at an accelerated rate moving forward.
"Along those lines, we continue to be optimistic about our financial performance for the full year. Because of the strong performance we've had so far, along with the fact that we've experienced faster-than-expected realization of cost synergies and backlog conversion, we believe it is necessary to raise our full year guidance for 2016.
"Overall, Q2 was a great quarter for us, concluding with the full integration of an acquisition that we feel is truly transformational to how we do business. Going forward, we will continue to execute on our key initiatives, including bringing our HCM customers live, continuing to realize the cost synergies from the acquisition, and using our integrated suite of solutions to secure new wins that can build on our progress and position us to scale even further."

*Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the following financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the Securities and Exchange Commission: EBITDA and GAAP Net Income/(Loss) excluding one-time items. These supplemental financial measures are not required by GAAP, nor is the presentation of this financial information intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management recognizes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the items associated with Asure's earnings results as determined in accordance with GAAP. However, for the reasons described below, management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of Asure's business. Asure's management believes that it is important to provide investors with these same tools, together with reconciliation to GAAP, for evaluating the performance of Asure's business, as it may provide additional insight into Asure's financial results. See the "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income/(Loss) to Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Stock Compensation Expense (EBITDA)" and the "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income/(Loss) to Net Earnings Excluding One-Time Items" tables included in this press release for further information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, these measures are presented because management believes they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and others in the evaluation of companies. EBITDA is calculated by adding income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization and stock compensation expense to net earnings. EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings and other consolidated earnings data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of Asure's profitability.
Net Earnings Excluding One-Time Items is calculated by combining the company's GAAP Net Earnings, or earnings per share, with items that are one time in nature and are not expected to recur on a dollar or per share basis.
Free Cash Flow is computed by subtracting capital expenditures from cash flow from operations, each as determined in accordance with GAAP and as reflected in the statement of cash flows.
Non-GAAP Revenue is computed by adding back the deferred revenue fair market valuation to GAAP revenue.
