Fourth Quarter Revenue Growth Accelerates to Record 37%, Full-Year Growth to Record 35%
FY 2017 Net Income Increases to Record $3.8 million, or 20% of Revenue, from $667,000 in FY 2016
Management Expects FY 2018 Revenue Growth Within 3-5 Year Annual Target of 25% to 35%

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 13, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Park City Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCYG), a software company that uses big data management to help retailers and their suppliers increase sales and lower costs, while simultaneously reducing compliance risks, announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal-year ended June 30, 2017.   

Strategic and Financial Highlights:

  • Fiscal 4Q17 revenue growth accelerates to a record 37%, driving full-year revenue growth to 35%. “Our top-line growth and financial success is directly correlated to providing successful outcomes for our customers. Great execution builds trust, leads to deeper customer engagement and referrals, and expands both the scale and scope of our business,” said Randall K. Fields, Park City Group’s Chairman and CEO. “As a result, revenue increased a record 37% in fiscal 4Q17 to $5.2 million. Revenue for the full-year increased 35% to $18.9 million, at the high end of our 25% to 35% annual growth target.”
  • Fiscal 2017 net margin expands to 20%, driving record profit and cash flow performance. “Our focus on customer success drives a network effect that enables growth without the need for heavy investment in sales and marketing. As a result, we generated significant operating leverage with fiscal 4Q17 GAAP net income increasing 78% to $883,000, or 17.0% of revenue, and fiscal 2017 GAAP net income increasing 467% to $3.8 million, or 20.0% of revenue. Operating cash flow for the full-year increased to $2.3 million from $503,000 last year, lifting total cash to $14.1 million,” said Mr. Fields.
  • ReposiTrak supplier connections nearly double as momentum continues to accelerate. “During fiscal 2017, we increased the scale of our network by adding nearly as many ReposiTrak hubs and supplier connections as we did in the prior four years cumulatively,” said Mr. Fields. “Growth in total connections is being driven by the addition of large retail and wholesale hubs. However, we are also seeing a substantial acceleration in growth from smaller supplier hubs, which we expect to become an increasingly meaningful part of our business going forward, given the far greater number of prospects.”
  • Continuous expansion of ReposiTrak’s service offering reinforces industry leadership. “We have been busy increasing the scope of our network by introducing new applications that expand ReposiTrak’s capabilities. These include the ability of a hub to require deeper levels of compliance, down to individual items; new applications that help ensure product quality and safety; and tighter integration with the industry-standard food safety audit platforms. These new services enhance the value proposition to ReposiTrak’s hubs and their suppliers, reinforcing our industry leadership,” said Mr. Fields.
  • Successful introduction of converged business strategy solidifies multi-year growth outlook. “During the year, we successfully introduced Vendor Portal, our unified service delivery platform, and MarketPlace, our compliant-vendor sourcing solution, expanding ReposiTrak’s scope beyond that of a food safety and compliance platform, while helping to reinforce the scale of our network,” said Mr. Fields. “We are very encouraged by the favorable reaction from our customers and expect a more meaningful revenue contribution from both in fiscal 2018.”
  • Management continues to expect top-line growth of 25% to 35% and margin expansion. “We are benefiting from the positive network effect of our customers’ success. We look to add more ReposiTrak hubs and supplier connections in fiscal 2018 than in fiscal 2017. We are also exploring alliances both domestically and internationally to further increase the scale of our network. As a result, we are confident fiscal 2018 will be within our multi-year annual growth target of 25% to 35%, while operating leverage should drive higher margins and an even faster growing cash balance,” said Mr. Fields.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

While this press release does not include non-GAAP financial measures, the financial presentation below contains certain financial measures defined as “non-GAAP financial measures” by the Securities and Exchange Commission, including non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP earnings per share. These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures will be provided upon the completion of the Company’s annual audit.

Non-GAAP EBITDA excludes items such as impairment charges, allowance for doubtful accounts, non-cash stock based compensation and other one-time cash and non-cash charges. Non-GAAP EPS excludes items such as non-cash stock based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets and other one-time cash and non-cash charges. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses or net purchases of property and equipment, as the case may be, which may not be indicative of its core operation results and business outlook. Because Park City Group has historically reported certain non-GAAP results to investors, the Company believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP measures in the financial presentation below allows investors to compare the Company’s financial results with the Company’s historical financial results reported using non-GAAP financial measures, as well as with the financial results reported by others.
