"For the remainder of the year, we plan to continue performing at a high level for our clients to ensure an exceptional shopping experience for their customers, while also continuing our focus on operating efficiencies and prudent cost management. We continue to expect the execution of these initiatives to drive strong adjusted EBITDA growth in 2017."

Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Total revenues in the second quarter of 2017 increased to $78.1 million compared to $77.2 million in the same period of 2016. Service fee revenue in the second quarter increased 7% to $54.7 million compared to $51.2 million last year. Product revenue from the company's last remaining client under this legacy business model was $9.9 million compared to $11.4 million in the same period of 2016.

Service fee equivalent revenue increased 6% to $55.1 million compared to $51.8 million in the year-ago quarter, driven by both new and expanded client relationships.

Service fee gross margin in the second quarter of 2017 increased 140 basis points to 34.2% compared to 32.8% in the same period of 2016. The increase was due to a higher proportion of agency and technology services in the 2017 quarter.

Net loss in the second quarter of 2017 was $2.6 million or $(0.14) per share, compared to a net loss of $2.2 million or $(0.12) per share in the same period of 2016. Net loss in the second quarter of 2017 includes $1.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, $1.1 million of acquisition-related, restructuring and other costs, $0.8 million in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and $0.2 million of deferred tax expense related to goodwill amortization. This compares to $0.9 million of acquisition-related, restructuring and other costs, $0.8 million in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and $0.6 million of stock-based compensation expense in the same period of 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 12% to $4.4 million compared to $3.9 million in the same period of 2016. As a percentage of service fee equivalent revenue, adjusted EBITDA increased 40 basis points to 7.9% compared to 7.5% in the year-ago quarter due to the aforementioned increase in agency and technology services in 2017.

Non-GAAP net income in the second quarter of 2017 was $0.6 million compared to non-GAAP net income of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2016.

At June 30, 2017, cash and cash equivalents totaled $19.1 million compared to $24.4 million at December 31, 2016. Total debt was $53.7 million compared to $59.7 million at December 31, 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.
