PRINCETON, N.J., Nov. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Certara, Inc. (Nasdaq: CERT), a global leader in biosimulation, today reported its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 and reiterated its full year guidance.

Third Quarter Highlights:

  • Net income was $3.9 million, compared to net loss of $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $5.7 million in income over the third quarter of 2021.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $32.7 million, compared to $26.1 million in the third quarter of 2021, representing growth of 25% over the third quarter of 2021.
  • Reiterated full year guidance.

“Certara delivered another strong quarter with continued strength in biosimulation revenue,” said William F. Feehery, chief executive officer. “We are pleased to reiterate our full year guidance for 2022. Overall, we continue to see industry trends moving in the right direction to drive growth in the adoption of biosimulation globally, and I am confident our ability to deliver on our mission to accelerate medicines to patients.”

“We also separately announced today that long-term shareholder Arsenal Investment Partners has signed an agreement to acquire EQT’s remaining 30 million shares in the Company at $15 per share. Arsenal has agreed to a two-year lock-up on transacting in any shares acquired from EQT without the Company’s consent, and will be granted the right to designate up to two board members, subject to certain ownership conditions. We expect the transaction to close in early December following the expiration of the HSR waiting period.”

Third Quarter 2022 Results

“We finished the third quarter with a healthy balance sheet and operating cash flow growth, which leaves us well positioned to execute our business strategy for the remainder of 2022 and into 2023. We are confident in our ability to execute our 2022 full year guidance,” said Andrew Schemick, chief financial officer.

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $84.7 million, representing growth of 15% over the third quarter of 2021. Excluding $7.7 million revenue from Pinnacle 21, which was acquired in late 2021, revenue increased $3.0 million, or 4%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to growth in our technology-driven services and software product offerings from strong renewal rates, client expansion, and new customers. The increase was partially offset by the negative impact on our revenue from fluctuation in the foreign currency exchange rates.

On a constant currency basis, total revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $87.5 million, representing growth of 18% over the third quarter of 2021. Excluding $7.7 million of revenue from Pinnacle 21, the revenue on a constant currency basis increased $5.9 million, or 8%. Please see note (1) in the section A Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for more information on constant currency revenue.

Total cost of revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $32.8 million, an increase of $4.0 million from $28.8 million in the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in intangible assets amortization, a $1.0 million increase in stock-based compensation cost, a $0.4 million increase in employee-related costs resulting from billable headcount growth, a $0.4 million increase in equipment and travel expenses, and a $0.5 million increase related to cost of licenses.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $41.0 million, decreased by $4.9 million from $45.9 million in the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to a $7.5 million decrease in business acquisition costs, a $2.4 million decrease in stock-based compensation costs, a $0.9 million increase in capitalized cost in research and development, partially offset by a $3.9 million increase in employee-related costs, a $1.0 million increase in intangible asset amortization, a $0.4 million increase in public offering cost, and a $0.4 million increase in travel expenses.

Net income for the third quarter of 2022 was $3.9 million, compared to a net loss of $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. The $5.7 million increase in net income was primarily due to a $10.8 million increase in total revenue, a $4.9 million decrease in operating expenses, a $2.0 million currency gain, partially offset by a $4.0 million increase in cost of revenue, and $6.2 million increase in tax expense. and $1.9 million increase in interest expense.

Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter 2022 was $0.02, as compared to $(0.01) in the third quarter of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2022 was $32.7 million compared to $26.1 million for the third quarter of 2021, representing 25% growth. See note (2) in the section A Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for more information on adjusted EBITDA.

A Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains “non-GAAP measures” that 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 USD 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, 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, 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.
