Management Commentary

“During the third quarter, we continued to execute on our key initiatives for 2017,” said Mike Willoughby, CEO of PFS. “We performed at a high level for our clients and continued to improve the profitability of our PFS operations activity by controlling costs, transitioning certain lower-margin engagements, and focusing our operations sales efforts on higher-margin engagements.

“We also continue to focus on growing our higher-margin branded LiveArea professional services revenue at a faster rate than our operations revenue. In fact, we’ve had several recent high-profile client launches, including a relaunch for an iconic American fashion brand that required a large-scale eCommerce deployment. The momentum in our LiveArea professional services activity, combined with the improved profitability in our PFS operations, culminated in a 300 basis point increase in service fee gross margin and a 56% increase in adjusted EBITDA to $5.6 million.”

“During the third quarter,” Willoughby continued, “we received an unexpected notification from one of our long-tenured clients to discontinue the use of our services as they will no longer provide a direct eCommerce offering to their customers. We began to wind down the relationship in Q3 and expect to fully transition this client during the next several months. This client has traditionally driven strong sales activity during the holiday peak compared to the rest of the year, and their unexpected loss will have a negative impact on Q4 revenue and adjusted EBITDA.

“Looking ahead to the holiday season, our current client sales forecasts remain strong. However, we have experienced a delay in several qualified sales opportunities that are now expected to close later in Q4 or early 2018. As such, we expect service fee revenue from new clients to fall short of our expectations in the fourth quarter. This is most relevant to our PFS operations activity, where the sales cycle is generally longer than our LiveArea professional services. Though we are encouraged by the strength of our pipeline and overall market for our services as we head into 2018, based on the timing of sales and unexpected client disengagement, we are reducing our service fee equivalent revenue and adjusted EBITDA forecasts for 2017.”


Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Total revenues in the third quarter of 2017 were $77.3 million compared to $79.9 million in the same period of 2017. Service fee revenue in the third quarter increased to $54.5 million compared to $53.8 million last year. Product revenue from the company’s last remaining client under this legacy business model was $9.6 million compared to $11.7 million in the same period of 2016.

Service fee equivalent revenue increased to $55.1 million compared to $54.5 million in the year-ago quarter, driven by both new and expanded client relationships, partially offset by expected client churn due in part to the company reallocating its resources to higher-margin engagements.

Service fee gross margin in the third quarter of 2017 increased 300 basis points to 34.4% compared to 31.4% in the same period of 2016. The increase was due to a higher proportion of agency and technology services in the 2017 quarter, as well as higher-margin operations engagements compared to the year-ago period.

Net loss in the third quarter of 2017 was $98,000 or $(0.01) per share, compared to a net loss of $1.0 million or $(0.06) per share in the same period of 2016. Net loss in the third quarter of 2017 included $0.8 million in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, $0.8 million of stock-based compensation expense, $0.1 million of acquisition-related, restructuring and other costs, and $0.2 million of deferred tax expense related to goodwill amortization. This compares to $1.2 million in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, $0.3 million of stock-based compensation expense, and a $0.5 million benefit from acquisition-related, restructuring and other costs in the same period of 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 56% to $5.6 million compared to $3.6 million in the year-ago quarter. As a percentage of service fee equivalent revenue, adjusted EBITDA increased 360 basis points to 10.2% compared to 6.6% in the year-ago quarter due to the aforementioned increase in service fee gross margin.

Non-GAAP net income in the third quarter of 2017 was $1.8 million compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $60,000 in the third quarter of 2016.

At September 30, 2017, cash and cash equivalents totaled $12.8 million compared to $24.4 million at December 31, 2016. The decline was expected and primarily due to the impact of holiday seasonality in our business during the fourth quarter of 2016 as well as the modification of a client arrangement that reduced the benefit received from the timing of customer cash collections. Total debt was $51.2 million compared to $59.7 million at December 31, 2016.

2017 Outlook

PFS is revising its outlook for 2017 service fee equivalent revenue and adjusted EBITDA. The company now expects its service fee equivalent revenue to range between $230 million and $235 million (previously $240—$250 million), reflecting up to 3% growth from 2016. The company also now expects its adjusted EBITDA to range between $21 million and $23 million (previously $23 million—$26 million), reflecting 15% to 26% growth from 2016.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release contains certain non-GAAP measures, including non-GAAP net income (loss), earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA and service fee equivalent revenue.


Non-GAAP net income (loss) represents net income (loss) calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP as adjusted for the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related, restructuring and other (income) costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and deferred tax expense for goodwill amortization.

EBITDA represents earnings (or losses) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further eliminates the effect of stock-based compensation, acquisition-related, restructuring and other (income) costs.

Service fee equivalent revenue represents service fee revenue plus the gross profit earned on product revenue and does not alter existing revenue recognition.

Our service fee equivalent revenue target for 2017 includes an estimated gross margin on product sales of approximately $2 million (based on targeted product revenue of $42 million less targeted cost of product revenue of $40 million) plus a targeted range of between $238 million to $248 million of service fee revenue.

The adjusted EBITDA outlook for 2017 have not been reconciled to the company’s net loss outlook for the same period because certain items that would impact interest expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization (including amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets), stock-based compensation, and acquisition-related, restructuring and other (income) costs, all of which are reconciling items between net loss and adjusted EBITDA, cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA outlook to net loss outlook for 2017 is not available without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and service fee equivalent revenue are used by management, analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry. The calculation of non-GAAP net income (loss) eliminates the effect of stock-based compensation, acquisition-related, restructuring and other (income) costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, deferred tax expense for goodwill amortization, and EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA further eliminate the effect of financing, remaining income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending, which items may vary from different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. Service fee equivalent revenue allows client contracts with similar operational support models but different financial models to be combined as if all contracts were being operated on a service fee revenue basis.

PFS believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by focusing on certain operational metrics and excluding certain expenses in order to present its core operating performance and results. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the GAAP results in the attached tables.
