Q3 GAAP revenue $383.3 million, Fully Diluted GAAP Earnings Per Share $0.19, Adjusted revenue $391.9 million, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share $0.42

WINDSOR, Conn., Oct. 27, 2016 /CNW/ -- SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: SSNC), a global provider of investment and financial software-enabled services and software, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016. 

GAAP Results

SS&C reported GAAP revenue of $383.3 million for the third quarter of 2016, compared to $280.9 million in the third quarter of 2015, a 36.5 percent increase. GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2016 was $76.9 million, or 20.0 percent of revenue. This represents an increase of over 400 percent compared to $15.0 million, or 5.3 percent of revenue, in 2015's third quarter. GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $38.7 million compared to a $34.6 million GAAP net loss in the third quarter of 2015. On a fully diluted GAAP basis, earnings per share in the third quarter of 2016 were $0.19.

Adjusted Non-GAAP Results (defined in Notes 1-4 below)

Adjusted revenue in the third quarter of 2016 was $391.9 million, up 25.8 percent compared to $311.4 million in the third quarter of 2015. Adjusted operating income in the third quarter of 2016 was $150.5 million, or 38.4 percent of adjusted revenue. This represents a 20.1 percent increase compared to adjusted operating income of $125.3 million, or 40.2 percent of adjusted revenue, in the third quarter of 2015.

Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $87.5 million, up 27.5 percent compared to $68.6 million in 2015's third quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2016 were $0.42 per share, up 23.5 percent compared to $0.34 per share in the third quarter of 2015.

Highlights:

  • SS&C adjusted revenue for Q3 2016 was $391.9 million, our 18th straight quarter with record adjusted revenue.
  • SS&C paid off $113.2 million in debt in Q3 2016, and $528.6 million since acquiring Advent over one year ago.
  • Our net debt to consolidated EBITDA leverage ratio has been reduced to 4.08x.

"SS&C is pleased to report record adjusted revenues of $391.9 million for Q3 2016, and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.42 cents," says Bill Stone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our business has grown sharply over the past year and our last twelve months' consolidated EBTIDA is over $600 million. We have integrated the people and products from Advent, Varden, Primatics and Citi Alternative Investor Services. At SS&C, we change. Our research and development spend, acquisitions and onboarding talent encourages creativity and critical thinking. This enables us to service our clients' demands in a complex and evolving regulatory environment."

Annual Run Rate Basis

Annual Run Rate Basis (ARRB) recurring revenue, defined as adjusted recurring revenue on an annualized basis, was $1,441.3 million based on adjusted recurring revenue $360.3 million for the third quarter of 2016. This represents an increase of 25.1 percent from $288.0 million and $1,152.2 million run-rate in the same period in 2015 and an increase of 1.2 percent from $356.1 million for the second quarter of 2016, an annual run rate of $1,424.3 million. We believe ARRB of our recurring revenue is a good indicator of visibility into future revenue.

Operating Cash Flow

SS&C generated net cash from operating activities of $237.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $120.6 million for the same period in 2015, representing a 96.6 percent increase. SS&C ended the quarter with $101.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $2,551.5 million in gross debt, for a net debt balance of $2,449.7 million. SS&C's leverage ratio as defined in our credit agreement stood at 4.08 times consolidated EBITDA as of September 30, 2016.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Information


Note 1. Reconciliation of Revenues to Adjusted Revenues


Adjusted revenues represents revenues adjusted for one-time purchase accounting adjustments to fair value deferred revenue acquired in business combinations. Adjusted revenues are presented because we use this measure to evaluate performance of our business against prior periods and believe it is a useful indicator of the underlying performance of the Company. Adjusted revenues is not a recognized term under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Adjusted revenues does not represent revenues, as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to revenues as an indicator of our operating performance. Adjusted revenues as presented herein is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures. Below is a reconciliation between adjusted revenues and revenues, the GAAP measure we believe to be most directly comparable to adjusted revenues.

Note 2. Reconciliation of Operating Income to Adjusted Operating Income


Adjusted operating income represents operating income adjusted for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, stock-based compensation, purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue and other expenses. Adjusted operating income is presented because we use this measure to evaluate performance of our business and believe it is a useful indicator of the underlying performance of the Company.  Adjusted operating income is not a recognized term under GAAP.  Adjusted operating income does not represent operating income, as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of our operating performance. Adjusted operating income as presented herein is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures.  The following is a reconciliation between adjusted operating income and operating income, the GAAP measure we believe to be most directly comparable to adjusted operating income.

(1)

Unusual or non-recurring charges include proceeds from legal and other settlements, severance expenses, transaction costs and other one-time expenses, such as expenses associated with facilities consolidations and acquisitions.

(2)

Purchase accounting adjustments include (a) an adjustment to increase revenues by the amount that would have been recognized if deferred revenue were not adjusted to fair value at the date of acquisitions and (b) an adjustment to increase personnel and commissions expense by the amount that would have been recognized if prepaid commissions and deferred personnel costs were not adjusted to fair value at the date of the acquisitions.

Note 3. Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA, Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA


EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Consolidated EBITDA, defined under our Credit Agreement entered into in July 2015, is used in calculating covenant compliance, and is EBITDA adjusted for certain items. Consolidated EBITDA is calculated by subtracting from or adding to EBITDA items of income or expense described below. Adjusted consolidated EBITDA is calculated by subtracting acquired EBITDA from consolidated EBITDA. EBITDA, consolidated EBITDA and adjusted consolidated EBITDA are presented because we use these measures to evaluate performance of our business and believe them to be useful indicators of an entity's debt capacity and its ability to service debt. EBITDA, consolidated EBITDA and adjusted consolidated EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to operating income, net income or cash flows from operating activities as indicators of our operating performance. The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA, consolidated EBITDA and adjusted consolidated EBITDA to net income.

(1)

Acquired EBITDA reflects the EBITDA impact of significant businesses that were acquired during the period as if the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the period, as well as cost savings enacted in connection with acquisitions.

(2)

Unusual or non-recurring charges include foreign currency gains and losses, proceeds from legal and other settlements, severance expenses, transaction costs and other one-time expenses, such as expenses associated with the facilities consolidations, acquisitions and the sale of fixed assets.

(3)

Purchase accounting adjustments include (a) an adjustment to increase revenues by the amount that would have been recognized if deferred revenue were not adjusted to fair value at the date of acquisitions and (b) an adjustment to increase personnel and commissions expense by the amount that would have been recognized if prepaid commissions and deferred personnel costs were not adjusted to fair value at the date of the acquisitions.

(4)

Other includes the non-cash portion of straight-line rent expense.

Note 4. Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted Net Income and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share to Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share


Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share represent net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share before amortization of intangible assets and deferred financing costs, stock-based compensation, capital-based taxes and other unusual and non-recurring items. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are not recognized terms under GAAP, do not represent net income (loss) or diluted earnings (loss) per share, as those terms are defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or diluted earnings (loss) per share as indicators of our operating performance. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are important to management and investors because they represent our operational performance exclusive of the effects of amortization of intangible assets and deferred financing costs, stock-based compensation, capital-based taxes, other unusual and non-recurring items, purchase accounting adjustments, and loss on extinguishment of debt that are not operational in nature or comparable to those of our competitors. The following is a reconciliation between adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share and net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share.
