"During the second quarter, we delivered total revenue of $17.2 million, which included $14.6 million in subscription revenue. Our margins remain strong and we finished the quarter with nearly $35 million in cash, which was ahead of our expectations. We remain focused on driving subscription revenue sales growth, particularly within our core automotive vertical, while aggressively managing our cash position through strong expense management. We are raising our Fiscal Year End 2017 cash guidance to $33 million and expect to be cash flow break-even for Fiscal Year 2018,” said Covisint CEO, Sam Inman.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 Business Highlights

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Covisint monitors non-GAAP measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share. Each of these financial measures excludes the impact of certain items (the impact of stock award compensation expense, the amortization and impairment of intangible assets and amounts incurred for capitalized internal software costs) and, therefore, has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Covisint monitors these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its ongoing operational performance and enhance an overall understanding of its past financial performance. Covisint believes that these non-GAAP metrics help illustrate underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that are excluded in non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share. Furthermore, Covisint uses these measures to establish budgets and operational goals for managing its business and evaluating its performance. Covisint also believes that these non-GAAP measures provide additional tools for investors to use in comparing its recurring core business operating results over multiple periods against other companies in its industry.

The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included with the financial statements contained in this press release. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating its business internally and as such has determined that it is important to provide this information to investors.

Conference Call and Webcast Information

Covisint management will hold a conference call at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) today to discuss these results. The U.S. toll free dial-in for the conference call is 1-877-407-4018, and the international dial-in number is 1-201-689-8471. No passcode is required. A live webcast of the conference call will also be available on the company's website at investors.covisint.com.

For those unable to participate in the conference call, a replay will be available after the conclusion of the earnings call on November 3, 2016, through November 10, 2016. The U.S. toll-free replay dial-in number is 1-844-512-2921 and the international replay dial-in number is 1-412-317-6671. The replay passcode is 13647593.
