SAN MATEO, Calif., June 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Coupa Software (NASDAQ: COUP) today announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2020.

"Our strong first quarter results are a clear representation of the value Coupa delivers to customers in all economic climates," said Rob Bernshteyn, chairman and chief executive officer at Coupa. "As we focus on supporting our employees and ensuring all members of the Coupa community emerge from this pandemic stronger, we continue to leverage our thoughtful, disciplined financial approach, the strength of our balance sheet, and a focus on business resilience to foster growth and position ourselves for sustained market leadership well beyond the current crisis."

First Quarter Results:

Total revenues were $119.2 million, an increase of 47% compared to the same period last year. Subscription revenues were $105.7 million, an increase of 45% compared to the same period last year.

GAAP operating loss was $5.6 million, compared to a GAAP operating loss of $17.8 million for the same period last year. Non-GAAP operating income was $14.9 million, compared to a Non-GAAP operating income of $2.2 million for the same period last year.

GAAP net loss was $14.8 million, compared to a GAAP net loss of $20.5 million for the same period last year. GAAP net loss per basic and diluted share was $0.23, compared to a GAAP net loss per basic and diluted share of $0.34 for the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income was $14.5 million, compared to a Non-GAAP net income of $2.1 million for the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.20, compared to a Non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.03 for the same period last year.

Operating cash flows and adjusted free cash flows were positive $15.4 million and $22.4 million, respectively.

See the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the reconciliation tables below for important details regarding Coupa's non-GAAP measures. Coupa defines adjusted free cash flows as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment plus repayments of convertible senior notes attributable to debt discount.

Business Outlook:

The following forward-looking statements reflect Coupa's expectations as of June 8, 2020.

Second quarter of fiscal 2021:

Total revenues are expected to be $118.0 to $119.0 million.
Subscription revenues are expected to be $107.0 to $108.0 million.
Professional services and other revenues are expected to be approximately $11.0 million.
Non-GAAP income from operations is expected to be $5.0 to $6.8 million.
Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be $0.06 to $0.08 per share.
Diluted weighted average share count is expected to be approximately 73.5 million shares.

Full year fiscal 2021:

Total revenues are expected to be $489.0 to $491.0 million.
Non-GAAP income from operations is expected to be $28.0 to $30.0 million.
Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be $0.36 to $0.38 per share.
Diluted weighted average share count is expected to be approximately 73.0 million shares.

Coupa has not reconciled its expectations for non-GAAP income from operations to GAAP loss from operations or non-GAAP net income per share to GAAP net loss per share because certain items excluded from non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP net income, such as charges related to stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, the change in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisition earnout payments, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, gain or loss on conversion of convertible senior notes, and related tax effects, including non-recurring income tax adjustments, 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.

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 stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, the change in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisition earnout payments, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, gain on conversion of convertible senior notes, and related tax effects, including non-recurring income tax adjustments. 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.

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 at its current scale, which makes it difficult to predict its future operating results; the uncertain impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; 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; 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; the impact of acquisitions on its business, such as integration issues, assumption of unknown or unforeseen liabilities and ability to retain customers; and the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and global economic conditions.

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 20, 2020, 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 8, 2020. 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.
