PRINCETON, N.J., Feb. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Certara, Inc. (NASDAQ:CERT), a global leader in biosimulation, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023.

Fourth Quarter Highlights:

Revenue was $88.0 million, compared to $86.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, representing growth of 2% over the fourth quarter of 2022.
Strong sequential growth with record software bookings and broad-based recovery in technology enabled services bookings during the quarter.
Net loss was $12.5 million, compared to a net income of $9.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
- Net loss includes a $12.8 million increase in fair value of the remeasurement of contingent considerations primarily related to Vyasa Analytics due to performance of the business.
Adjusted EBITDA was $29.6 million, compared to $31.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

"We are encouraged by our strong fourth quarter results, driven by improved execution across both software and services," said William F. Feehery, Chief Executive Officer. "Certara is well positioned to grow in 2024, supporting continued investment in new software products, including expanded artificial intelligence capabilities, as well as commercial activity. The long-term prospects for biosimulation remain very compelling and we are investing to support the growth we see ahead for the company."

Fourth Quarter 2023 Results

"We finished the year with strong bookings performance and enter 2024 cautiously optimistic that our end markets have stabilized. Following the reorganization of our commercial team last August, we are focused on driving execution across the organization to deliver the guidance provided today," said John Gallagher, Chief Financial Officer.

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $88.0 million, representing year-over-year growth of 2% on a reported basis and, 1% on a constant currency basis. The overall increase in revenue was primarily due to growth in our biosimulation software portfolio. 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 fourth quarter of 2023 was $34.1 million, an increase of $2.3 million from $31.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to $2.6 million increase in stock based compensation expense.

Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $62.4 million, which increased by $18.9 million from $43.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Increased operating expenses were primarily due to a $12.8 million increase in the fair value of contingent considerations related to business acquisitions, a $3.5 million increase in employee-related costs driven by head count growth, a $1.6 million increase in merger and acquisition cost, a $1.4 million increase in intangible assets amortization expense, a $1.0 million increase in equipment and software expense, partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in stock based compensation expense.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $12.5 million, compared to a net income of $9.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The $21.6 million decrease in net income was primarily due to increased operating expenses, a $5.5 million decrease in tax benefit, and a $2.3 million increase in cost of revenue, partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in interest income, a $1.7 million increase in gains related to the fluctuation of foreign currency exchange rates, and a $1.4 million increase in revenue.

Diluted loss per share for the fourth quarter 2023 was $(0.08), as compared to diluted earnings of $0.06 in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $29.6 million compared to $31.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of $2.3 million. See note (2) in the section A Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for more information on adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $14.3 million compared to $25.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, decreased of $10.9 million. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter 2023 was $0.09 compared to $0.16 for the fourth quarter of 2022. See note (3) in the section A Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for more information on adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share.

A Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains "non-GAAP measures" which 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 U.S. Dollars 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, goodwill impairment, change in fair value of contingent consideration, 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, goodwill impairment, change in fair value of contingent consideration, 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.
