Insights

Certara's Q2 2024 results present a mixed picture. While overall revenue grew 3% to $93.3 million, the company swung to a net loss of $12.6 million from a profit of $4.7 million last year. The software segment showed strong performance with 13% growth, but services revenue declined by 3%.

The company's adjusted EBITDA decreased from $32.4 million to $26.3 million, indicating pressure on profitability. However, total bookings grew 15%, suggesting potential future revenue growth. The reiteration of full-year guidance amid mixed results shows management's confidence in the business model, but investors should monitor the services segment and profitability closely in coming quarters.

Certara's Q2 results reflect broader industry trends. The strong performance in software, particularly in biosimulation and Pinnacle 21, aligns with the increasing adoption of AI and digital tools in drug development. However, the decline in services revenue due to cautious spending among large biopharma customers signals potential industry-wide budget constraints.

The planned acquisition of Chemaxon to expand into drug discovery biosimulation is a strategic move to capitalize on the growing market. The integration of AI across Certara's portfolio positions the company well for future growth. However, the challenge lies in balancing investments for long-term growth with short-term profitability, as evidenced by the increased operating expenses and net loss this quarter.

Certara's focus on integrating AI across its portfolio and expanding into drug discovery biosimulation through the Chemaxon acquisition demonstrates a forward-thinking approach. The 13% growth in software revenue underscores the increasing importance of biosimulation in drug development.

However, the company faces challenges in its services segment, which could be partly due to the shift towards software solutions. The investment in AI and new product launches, while pressuring short-term profitability, is important for long-term competitiveness. Investors should watch for the successful integration of Chemaxon and the impact of AI enhancements on future software adoption and services demand. The balance between software and services revenue will be a key indicator of Certara's strategic success in the evolving drug development landscape.

Reiterates Full Year 2024 Financial Guidance

RADNOR, Pa., Aug. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Certara, Inc. (Nasdaq: CERT), a global leader in model-informed drug development, today reported its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024.

Second Quarter Highlights:

  • Revenue was $93.3 million, compared to $90.5 million in the second quarter of 2023, representing growth of 3%.
    • Software revenue was $38.2 million, compared to $33.7 million in the second quarter of 2023, representing growth of 13%.
    • Services revenue was $55.1 million, compared to $56.7 million in the second quarter of 2023, representing a decline of 3%.
  • Net loss was $12.6 million, compared to a net income of $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $26.3 million, compared to $32.4 million in the second quarter of 2023.

"Certara’s financial results were driven by strong performance in software and by improved biotech customer activity, offset by slowing demand in large biopharma customers in services," said William F. Feehery, Chief Executive Officer. “We’ve recently announced several exciting developments related to our portfolio, including product updates and new product launches, that strengthen Certara’s offering to customers in discovery, clinical, and regulatory. In July, we announced our intention to acquire Chemaxon, expanding our biosimulation portfolio to serve the drug discovery biosimulation market at scale. We’ve made continued progress in the first half of 2024, strengthening our software and integrating AI, to best position Certara as biosimulation becomes more widely used across the drug development industry."

"Our strong financial performance in software continued in the second quarter, while our services business performed slightly below our expectations. Achieving our 2024 financial targets remains the key priority while also focusing investment on our software platforms including integrating AI across our portfolio," said John Gallagher, Chief Financial Officer.

Second Quarter 2024 Results

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $93.3 million, representing year-over-year growth of 3% on a reported basis and constant currency basis. The overall increase in revenue was primarily due to growth in our biosimulation software portfolio. Please see note (1) in the section A Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for more information on constant currency revenue.

Software revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $38.2 million, representing year-over-year growth of 13% on a reported basis and constant currency basis. Software growth was driven by biosimulation software and Pinnacle 21.

Services revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $55.1 million, representing a year-over-year decline of 3% on a reported basis and constant currency basis. Services growth was impacted by cautious spending among large biopharma customers.

Total Bookings for the second quarter of 2024 were $98.9 million, representing a year-over-year growth of 15% on a reported basis.

Software Bookings for the second quarter of 2024 were $41.8 million, representing a year-over-year growth of 17%. The increase in software bookings was primarily due to strength in Certara’s core biosimulation software and Pinnacle21.

Total cost of revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $39.8 million, an increase of $3.6 million from $36.2 million in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to an increase in employee-related expenses.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were $62.5 million, which increased by $21.4 million from $41.2 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $12.6 million, compared to a net income of $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2023. The $17.3 million decrease in net income was primarily due to increased operating expenses.

A Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains “non-GAAP measures” which are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Specifically, the Company makes use of the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted diluted earnings per share, and constant currency (“CC”) revenue, which are not recognized terms under GAAP. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or GAAP diluted earnings per share or revenue as measures of financial performance or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a measure of discretionary cash available to the Company to invest in the growth of its business. The presentation of these measures has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company.

You should refer to the footnotes below as well as the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section in this press release below for a further explanation of these measures and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures in specific periods to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for those periods.

Management uses various financial metrics, including total revenues, income (loss) from operations, net income (loss), and certain non-GAAP measures, including those discussed above, to measure and assess the performance of the Company’s business, to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to make certain compensation decisions, and to compare the Company’s performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. In addition, management believes these metrics provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s business, as they remove the effect of certain non-cash expenses and other items not indicative of its ongoing operating performance.

Management believes that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted diluted earnings per share, and CC revenue are helpful to investors, analysts, and other interested parties because they can assist in providing a more consistent and comparable overview of our operations across our historical periods. In addition, each of these measures is frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate and assess performance. Furthermore, our business has operations outside the United States that are conducted in local currencies. As a result, the comparability of the financial results reported in U.S. dollars is affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We adjust revenues for constant currency to provide a framework for assessing how our business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations and we believe it is helpful for investors to present operating results on a comparable basis period over period to evaluate its underlying performance.

Please note that the Company has not reconciled the adjusted EBITDA or adjusted diluted earnings per share forward-looking guidance included in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to costs related to acquisitions, financings, and employee stock compensation programs, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

(1) CC revenue excludes the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations by assuming constant foreign currency exchange rates used for translation. Current periods revenue reported in currencies other than U.S. Dollars are converted into U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates in effect for the comparable prior periods.
   
(2) Adjusted EBITDA represents net income excluding interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, intangible asset amortization, equity-based compensation expense, goodwill impairment, change in fair value of contingent consideration, acquisition and integration expense and other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
   
(3) Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the effect of equity-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, goodwill impairment, change in fair value of contingent consideration, acquisition and integration expense, and other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance as well as income tax provision adjustment for such charges.
   

In evaluating adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in this presentation and this presentation should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual items.
