AUSTIN, Texas, November 16, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asure Software, Inc. (Nasdaq:ASUR), a leading provider of workplace management software, announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.
 
Strategic Highlights
 
 
·
Rounded out Smart product platform by launching SmartWayTM indoor navigation mobile app in partnership with SPREO to enhance the mobile employee experience in the digital workplace.

 
·
Key strategic clients including Stanford University and Exxon Mobil expanded their resource scheduling investment with the addition of the SmartView space utilization solution. New clients include Eileen Fisher and the Museum of Contemporary Art-Chicago.
 
 
·
Migrated 63 clients in the third quarter and 133 clients year to date from on-premise to on-demand products, representing a 186% and 73% increase over the prior year third quarter and nine month number of conversions, respectively. Key clients migrating to on-demand include: Town of Southampton, Startek, The Nemours Foundation, and Mestek.
 
 
·
Strong free cash flow of $1.1 million allowed for the full repayment of $722,000 in seller notes related to our Roomtag acquisition.
 
Results
 
 
·
Cloud bookings in the quarter increased by 160% from the third quarter of 2014. Cloud bookings year to date increased by 66%, excluding PSSI, and 8%, including PSSI, over last year to date.

 
·
Backlog as of September 30, 2015 is $3.2 million, up $968,000, or 44%, from September 30, 2014, and up $929,000, or 41% over last quarter. In 2016, we expect our enterprise clients to move through implementation, resulting in conversion from backlog to reported revenue growth.
 
 
·
Revenue for the quarter was $6.7 million and $20.1 million year to date as compared to $7.0 million in the third quarter of 2014 and $20.1 million last year to date, a decrease of 5% and a slight increase of 0.2%, respectively.
 
 
·
Recurring revenue as a percent of total revenue was 75% for the quarter as compared to 73% in the third quarter of 2014. This increase is primarily the result of strong hardware as a service revenue in the quarter.
 
 
·
Recurring revenue as a percent of total revenue was 74% year to date as compared to 76% last year to date.
 
 
·
Increased Hardware as a Service (HAAS) revenue 194% compared to the third quarter of 2014 and increased 72% year to date as compared to year to date 2014.

 
·
Gross margin for the quarter was $4.9 million or 74%, down by 10%, from $5.4 million, or 77% in the third quarter of 2014. Year to date, gross margin was $14.9 million, or 74%, down from $15.6 million, or 77% last year to date. The decrease in gross margin percentage is primarily due to new product sales which have lower margins initially.  As these products mature and gain economies of scale, we anticipate a positive shift in these margins.
 
 
 

 
 
 
·
EBITDA* excluding one-time items* for the quarter was approximately $767,000 compared to $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2014, a decrease of 45%. Year to date, EBITDA * excluding one-time items* was approximately $3.1 million, compared to $3.7 million last year to date, a decrease of 16%.

 
·
Third quarter net (loss) income per share, excluding one-times*, was $0.09 loss compared to $0.04 income in the third quarter of 2014. Year to date net income per share, excluding one-times*, was $0.04 compared to $0.05 last year to date.

 
·
Cash flow provided by operating activities for the quarter was $1.1 million compared to $924,000 in the third quarter of 2014, representing an increase of 22%. Cash flow provided by operating activities year to date was $2.0 million, compared to $1.7 million year to date in 2014, an increase of 19%.

Pat Goepel, Chief Executive Officer of Asure Software commented, “Our earnings for the quarter were lower than expected.  While we attribute this to an increase in our backlog of implementations, we also generated strong cash flow in the quarter. As these enterprise clients move through implementation, we expect to see a positive impact to earnings.”

Brad Wolfe, Chief Financial Officer of Asure added, “Third quarter reported results reflect an increase in sales to enterprise clients, which drove an increase in backlog of $929,000 versus the prior quarter. We have adjusted our 2015 guidance as stated below and expect $7.1 million in revenue and $1.3 million in EBITDA in the fourth quarter. We also anticipate the fourth quarter to be another strong quarter from a cash generation perspective. We will introduce 2016 guidance on our first quarter conference call.”

*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.
