(NASDAQ:EPAY), a leading provider of financial technology which helps businesses
pay and get paid, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and
fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.
Subscription and transaction revenues, which are primarily related to the
company's cloud platforms, were $59.4 million for the fourth quarter, up 17%, or
20% on a constant currency basis, as compared to the fourth quarter of last
year. Revenues overall for the fourth quarter were $93.5 million. Constant
currency growth is calculated as discussed in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures"
section that follows.
GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter was $5.7 million compared to $5.9 million
for the fourth quarter of last year. GAAP net loss per share was $0.15 in the
fourth quarter compared to $0.16 in the fourth quarter of last year.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $20.8 million compared to $18.0
million for the fourth quarter of last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth
quarter was 22% of overall revenue compared to 20% of overall revenue for the
fourth quarter of last year. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as discussed in the
"Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section that follows.
Core net income for the fourth quarter was $10.6 million compared to $9.2
million for the fourth quarter of last year. Core earnings per share was $0.28
for the fourth quarter compared to $0.24 for the fourth quarter of last year.
Core net income and core earnings per share exclude certain items as discussed
in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section that follows.
"Our strong results confirm that we are executing well against our strategic
plan," said Rob Eberle, President and CEO of Bottomline Technologies. "The
fourth quarter was highlighted by strong subscription and transaction revenue
growth and represents another step forward towards achieving our longer term
financial goals. We enter the new fiscal year with market momentum and a product
set that is well positioned to drive our continued growth. We have confidence in
our ability to execute against our strategic plan, achieve our financial targets
and drive shareholder value."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have presented supplemental non-GAAP financial measures as part of this
earnings release. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information should
not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, our financial
results presented in accordance with GAAP. Core net income, core earnings per
share, constant currency information, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as a
percent of revenue are non-GAAP financial measures.
Core net income and core earnings per share exclude certain items, specifically
amortization of acquired intangible assets, goodwill impairment charges, stock-
based compensation, acquisition and integration-related expenses, restructuring
related costs, minimum pension liability adjustments, non-core charges
associated with our convertible notes and revolving credit facility, global
enterprise resource planning (ERP) system implementation costs, and other non-
core or non-recurring gains or losses that arise from time to time.
Non-core charges associated with our convertible notes and revolving credit
facility consist of the amortization of debt issuance and debt discount costs.
Acquisition and integration-related expenses include legal and professional fees
and other direct transaction costs associated with business and asset
acquisitions, costs associated with integrating acquired businesses, including
costs for transitional employees or services, integration related professional
services costs and other incremental charges we incur as a direct result of
acquisition and integration efforts. Global ERP system implementation costs
relate to direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with our
implementation of a new, global ERP solution and the related technology
infrastructure.
In computing diluted core earnings per share, we exclude the effect of shares
issuable under our convertible notes to the extent that any such dilution would
be offset by our note hedges; the note hedges would be considered an anti-
dilutive security under GAAP.
Periodically, such as in periods that include significant foreign currency
volatility, we present certain metrics on a "constant currency" basis, to show
the impact of period to period results normalized for the impact of foreign
currency rate changes. We calculate constant currency information by translating
prior period financial results using current period foreign exchange rates.
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenue represent our GAAP
net income or loss, adjusted for charges related to interest expense, income
taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other charges, as noted in the
reconciliation that follows.
We believe that these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures are useful to
investors because they allow for an evaluation of the company with a focus on
the performance of its core operations, including more meaningful comparisons of
financial results to historical periods and to the financial results of less
acquisitive peer and competitor companies. Our executive management team uses
these same non-GAAP financial measures internally to assess the ongoing
performance of the company. Additionally, the same non-GAAP information is used
for planning purposes, including the preparation of operating budgets and in
communications with our board of directors with respect to our core financial
performance. Since this information is not a GAAP measurement of financial
performance, there are material limitations to its usefulness on a stand-alone
basis, including the lack of comparability of this presentation to the GAAP
financial results of other companies.
