MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 05, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cachet Financial Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB:CAFN), a leading financial technology provider of cloud-based mobile money management solutions to banks, credit unions and other financial services organizations, reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Management Commentary

“We experienced another record quarter in Q3,” said Cachet’s CEO Jeffrey Mack. “In fact, we set all-time highs in several metrics, including revenue and recurring revenue, transactions and billings.

“These achievements demonstrate our ongoing success in upselling and cross-selling to our customer base of more than 500 banks and credit unions. In fact, of the 49 new products we sold in Q3, 20 were to 14 existing customers; with the remainder sold to 29 new customers, like SOLE Financial and 1st Century Bank. This activity resulted in a 53% year-over-year increase in products sold and 30% increase in cumulative contract value.

“We remain focused on executing on our plan to capitalize on the fast growing, multi-billion dollar mobile banking and payment markets. Our success will be measured by the number of sign new customers signed, as well as our ability to upsell and cross-sell existing customers. Our success operationally will influence our financial goals, which include expanding recurring revenue to more than 80% of total revenue and achieving cash flow profitability during the fourth quarter. Longer term, our goal is for recurring revenue to cover our corporate operating costs.

“Looking ahead, we expect 2015 to be another growth year with improved profitability. Our operational progress this year, coupled with our expanding product portfolio and sales pipeline, have set the stage for an even stronger financial position in 2016.”

Q3 2015 Financial Results
Revenue in the third quarter of 2015 increased 20% to a record $1.0 million from $855,600 in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was driven by growing adoption of the company’s Select Mobile and Select Business RDC solutions.

Recurring revenue from the company’s RDC products increased 55% to a record $752,000 (73% of revenue) in the third quarter of 2015 from $486,000 (57% of total revenue) in the same year-ago period.

At the end of the third quarter of 2015, the company’s total cumulative contract value increased 30% to a record $66.4 million from $50.9 million in the same year-ago period, with nearly the entire amount representing recurring revenue versus one-time setup or hosting fees. The company defines cumulative contract value as the estimated aggregate 36-month revenue potential of product and service contracts that the company signed with bank and credit union customers over the trailing 24-month period.

Billings, defined as the dollar amount of invoices sent to customers, totaled a record $1.4 million, an increase of 12% from $1.2 million in the prior quarter and increased 33% from $1.0 million in Q3 2014.

Cost of revenues in the third quarter of 2015 totaled $944,600 (92% of revenue), compared to $830,000 (97% of revenue) in the same year-ago period. Gross profit in the third quarter of 2015 improved to $85,300 from a gross profit of $25,800 in the same year-ago period.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2015 decreased 4% to $2.3 million from $2.4 million in Q3 2014.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders in the third quarter of 2015 totaled $7.1 million, or $(0.29) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $5.2 million, or $(0.33) per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of 2014.
               
Adjusted EBITDA loss (a non-GAAP term defined as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and non-recurring items) for the third quarter of 2015 totaled $1.6 million compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.5 million in the same year-ago period (see further discussion about the use of adjusted EBITDA, below).

Non-GAAP loss for the third quarter of 2015 totaled $2.1 million, or $(0.09) per basic and diluted share, an improvement from a non-GAAP loss of $2.3 million, or $(0.15) per basic and diluted share, in the same year-ago period.

Use of Non-GAAP Information
In evaluating the Company’s financial performance and operating trends, management considers information concerning the Company’s net sales, adjusted gross margins, adjusted operating expenses, and adjusted EBITDA, among other items, which are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America. The Company’s management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide supplemental information that facilitates comparisons to prior periods and for the evaluation of financial results.  Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its financial results, develop budgets and manage expenditures.  The method the Company uses to produce non-GAAP results is not computed according to GAAP, is likely to differ from the methods used by other companies and should not be regarded as a replacement for corresponding GAAP measures.  Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results, which is attached to this release and can also be found on the Company’s website at www.cachetfinancial.com.
