Q1 2016 Financial Results
Revenue in the first quarter of 2016 increased 45% to a record $1.5 million from $1.0 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was driven by an increase in the volume of transactions on the platform, and to a lesser extent, an increase in the number of implementations completed in the quarter.

Recurring revenue from the company’s RDC and Select Mobile Money products increased 55% to a record $1.0 million (71% of revenue) in the first quarter of 2016 from $667,000 (66% of total revenue) in the same year-ago period.

At the end of the first quarter of 2016, the company’s total cumulative contract value increased 20% to a record $71.2 million from $59.3 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 $1.2 million, an increase of 33% from $916,000 in Q1 2015.

Cost of revenue in the first quarter totaled $1.2 million (79% of revenue), compared to $893,000 (89% of revenue) in Q1 2015.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2016 decreased 17% to $2.4 million from $2.9 million in Q1 2015, driven primarily by the cost-cutting measures implemented in 2015.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders in the first quarter of 2016 totaled $4.9 million or $(0.13) per basic share, compared to a net loss of $3.2 million or $(0.17) per basic share in the first quarter of 2015. The increase in net loss was primarily due to non-cash charges for interest expense and mark-to-market adjustments for outstanding variable priced warrants.

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 first quarter of 2016 totaled $1.6 million, an improvement from an adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.5 million in the same year-ago period (see further discussion about the use of adjusted EBITDA, below).

Management Commentary
“Q1 marked another period of considerable progress for Cachet,” said company CEO Jeff Mack. “Our improving financial performance demonstrated the scalability of our business model, which has allowed us to continue growing our topline to record levels while keeping operating expenses relatively flat.

“In addition to the significant increases in our revenue, recurring revenue, and gross profit compared to the same year-ago period, our other metrics showed strong improvement as well, including the number of transactions on our platform, which were up 63% to a record 2.2 million. The tremendous growth in the number of transactions is related to the activity generated from our Select Mobile RDC product offering, as we continue to increase the number of active bank and credit union customers using our software. We are also starting to see strong growth in transactions from our enhanced Select Business RDC product offering. In fact, transactions from this offering were up 31% sequentially and 291% year-over-year.

“Our strengthening financial and operational results are a reflection of the progress we made on the commercial front during the quarter, where we secured several new large clients, including Ceretel for our Select Mobile Money platform, as well as Algonquin State Bank and Whitaker Bank for our RDC platform. This is in addition to the nearly 60 new accounts we signed in Q1, which is not only an indication of how our offerings are being received in the marketplace, but also confirmation that we are gaining considerable traction because of the unique strengths of our innovative mobile payments solutions.

“Without a doubt, we entered 2016 with a considerably expanded product portfolio, along with a strong pipeline of new business. We have tremendous inherent growth embedded in our business without having to bring on another new customer. In fact, out of the more than 500 customers that we have today, approximately 370 have our solution fully deployed. This means that the growth and scale of our business that we are currently seeing today only captures a small snapshot of the actual opportunities available to us, since there are nearly 150 customers that are still in the process of fully deploying our solution. As they gradually make progress toward these deployments, we will begin to see much of that embedded growth fully reflected in our financial results, particularly in our recurring revenue. This illustrates how deep our potential revenue pipeline is, and how we are best positioned to take advantage of it.

“Along those lines, based on the solid prospects we see in every area of our business, we remain on track to achieve our 2016 revenue target of $8 million to $10 million, which represents a growth rate of 84% to 132% over 2015. We are continuing to expect recurring revenue to accelerate appreciably during the balance of the year, which should lead to more than doubling to $6 million in 2016. Altogether, we believe that we are operating in a very exciting and rapidly expanding industry full of opportunities. With our unique products, technology, and resources, we are in the best position to capture significant share in the mobile payment and money management markets.”

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.
