Medidata (NASDAQ:MDSO), the leading global provider of cloud-based solutions for clinical research in life sciences, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2016.
“We had a great third quarter, as execution drove our strong financial performance, improved platform adoption and broad-based momentum across our products, regions and channels,” said Tarek Sherif, Medidata’s chairman and chief executive officer. “Our results show that our investments in innovation and commitment to customer and partner success are paying off. With the life sciences industry increasingly turning to Medidata to help support its transformation, we are positioned to be the architecture supporting drug development today and in the future. For the remainder of the year, we’re focused on executing on our 2016 plan and building the foundation for a strong 2017.”
Third Quarter 2016 Results
- Total revenue for the third quarter of 2016 was $120.1 million, an increase of $16.9 million, or 16%, compared with $103.1 million in the third quarter of 2015. Subscription revenue was $101.6 million, an increase of $12.7 million, or 14%, compared with the same period last year.

- Adjusted subscription backlog1 for the remainder of the year as of September 30, 2016 was $102 million, an increase of $19 million, or 23%, year-over-year. Remaining adjusted subscription backlog, together with remaining professional services revenue guidance, provides 98% coverage of remaining total revenue based on the midpoint of our full year 2016 total revenue guidance range.
- GAAP operating income for the quarter was $14.9 million, up 34%, compared with $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2015. Non-GAAP operating income2 for the third quarter of 2016 increased to $29.3 million, up 13%, compared with $26.0 million a year ago.
- GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $7.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, up 57%, compared with $4.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2015. Adjusted non-GAAP net income2 for the third quarter of 2016 was $16.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, up 14%, compared with $14.0 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2015. See the non-GAAP reconciliation included in this release for full details of the non-GAAP adjustments.
- Calculated billings3 were $121.3 million for the third quarter of 2016, up 29%, compared with $93.9 million in the third quarter of 2015.
- Cash flow from operations was $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2016 compared with $25.7 million a year ago, due to the timing of certain customer receivables, the majority of which were collected in October. Cash flow from operations was $78.8 million for the trailing twelve-month period ending September 30, 2016, an increase of $1.2 million, or 2%, compared with $77.6 million for the comparable period ending September 30, 2015.
- Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $484.2 million at the end of the third quarter of 2016, an increase of $5.5 million, or 1%, compared with $478.7 million on December 31, 2015.
Additional Highlights
- Medidata’s customer base grew to 789 at the end of the third quarter, up 38% year-over-year.
- 71% of clients had committed to multiple products at the end of the third quarter of 2016, up from 65% at the end of the third quarter of 2015.
- Product adoption was broad-based across our integrated platform, with particular strength in Medidata Rave®, Medidata Coder®, Image Management, Risk-Based Monitoring, Medidata Balance®, Medidata CTMS® and Medidata Patient Cloud®.
- Medidata’s revenue retention rate was nearly 100%.
“Building on our strong first half of 2016, third quarter and year-to-date results reflect continued solid execution and growth across all segments of our business,” said Rouven Bergmann, Medidata’s chief financial officer. "Our strategy is working as we continue to drive greater product adoption from new customer acquisitions as well as add-on product sales to existing customers. With 98% coverage of the midpoint of our full-year total revenue guidance, we enter the fourth quarter with strong visibility and confidence in delivering upon our 2016 revenue and profitability expectations."
Financial Outlook
For the full-year 2016, the Company is maintaining its previously stated total revenue and profitability guidance ranges, as follows:
- Total revenue between $450.0 and $474.0 million at constant currency.
- Professional services revenue in the range of $68.0 to $70.0 million.
- GAAP operating income between $38.5 and $45.5 million. Non-GAAP operating income, which excludes the impact of depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, and stock-based compensation expense, between $102.0 and $109.0 million.
- GAAP net income between $16.5 and $21.0 million. Adjusted non-GAAP net income, which excludes the impact of stock-based compensation, non-cash interest expense associated with convertible senior notes, and amortization, tax-affected at a 40% rate, between $54.5 and $59.0 million.
- While changes in the stock price could change the fully diluted share count, the Company is now assuming 57.3 million fully diluted shares.
The operating and net income measures above reflect the Company’s non-GAAP financial guidance and the corresponding GAAP equivalents to its guidance.

Cautionary Statement
Certain statements made in this press release are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve significant risks and uncertainties about Medidata Solutions, Inc. (“Medidata”), including but not limited to statements about Medidata’s forecast of financial performance, products and services, business model, strategy and growth opportunities, and competitive position. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in these statements. In particular, the risks and uncertainties include, among other things, risks associated with possible fluctuations in our financial and operating results; errors, interruptions or delays in our service or our web hosting; the financial impact of any future acquisitions; our ability to continue to release, and gain customer acceptance of, new and improved versions of our products; changes in our sales and implementation cycles; competition; our ability to retain and expand our customer base or increase new business from those customers; our ability to hire, retain and motivate our employees and manage our growth; regulatory developments; litigation; and general developments in the economy. For additional disclosure regarding these and other risks faced by the Company, see disclosures contained in Medidata’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the “Risk Factors” section of Medidata’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. You should consider these factors in evaluating the forward-looking statements included in this press release and not place undue reliance on such statements. The forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof, and Medidata undertakes no obligation to update such statements as a result of new information.
(1) Adjusted subscription backlog equals subscription backlog plus outstanding intra-year renewals valued at an amount equal to the contracts to be renewed.
(2) Non-GAAP Financial Information
Medidata provides non-GAAP
operating income, net income and net income per share applicable to
common stockholders data as additional information for its operating
results. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative
for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from
non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP operating income
excludes the impact of depreciation, amortization of intangible assets
associated with acquisitions, and stock-based compensation expense.
Adjusted non-GAAP net income excludes the tax-affected impact of
amortization of intangible assets associated with acquisitions,
stock-based compensation expense, and non-cash interest expense on
convertible senior notes. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to
evaluate its financial results, develop budgets, manage expenditures,
and as an important factor in determining variable compensation. In
addition, investors frequently have requested information from
management regarding depreciation, amortization and other non-cash
charges, such as share-based compensation, and management believes,
based on discussions with investors, that these non-GAAP measures
enhance investors’ ability to assess Medidata’s historical and projected
future financial performance. While management believes these non-GAAP
financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors,
there are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial
measures. One limitation of non-GAAP operating income is that it
excludes depreciation and amortization, which represents the periodic
costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in
generating revenues in our business. Medidata compensates for these
limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to
GAAP financial measures and by reviewing the reconciliations of the
non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial
measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of
these non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results, which
are attached to this press release.
(3) Calculated billings is equal to revenue plus the change in deferred revenue during the period.

(1) Amount represents non-cash interest expense, including amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, on our 1.00% convertible senior notes issued during the third quarter of 2013. We exclude this incremental non-cash interest expense for purposes of calculating adjusted non-GAAP net income. We believe that excluding these expenses from our non-GAAP measures is useful to investors because such incremental non-cash interest expense does not generate a cash outflow for the Company and the debt issuance costs do not represent a cash outflow for the Company except in the period the notes were issued; therefore both are not indicative of our continuing operations. |
(2) Tax impact calculated using a 40% tax rate. |
The table above presents a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP operating income, net income, and net income per share applicable to common stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. Non-GAAP operating income excludes the impact of depreciation, amortization of intangible assets associated with acquisitions, and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted non-GAAP net income excludes the tax-affected impact of amortization of intangible assets associated with acquisitions, stock-based compensation expense, and non-cash interest expense on convertible senior notes. |
