RADNOR, Pa., Nov. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Certara, Inc. (Nasdaq: CERT), a global leader in model-informed drug development, today reported its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025.
Third Quarter Highlights:
- Revenue was $104.6 million, compared to $94.8 million in the third quarter of 2024, representing growth of 10%.
- Software revenue was $43.8 million, compared to $35.9 million in the third quarter of 2024, representing growth of 22%.
- Services revenue was $60.8 million, compared to $58.9 million in the third quarter of 2024, representing growth of 3%.
- Net income was $1.5 million, compared to a net loss of $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2024, representing growth of 211%.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $35.2 million, compared to $33.1 million in the third quarter of 2024, representing growth of 7%.
โIn the third quarter, we continued to make good progress towards our full-year revenue and profitability targets,โ said William Feehery, Chief Executive Officer. โWe recently launched several new software products, including CertaraIQ for QSP modeling, which we believe will expand the use of biosimulation technology in drug development. We remain focused on investing in our R&D and commercial efforts to position Certara for sustainable, long-term growth.โ
"We saw strong demand in the quarter for biosimulation solutions in software and QSP services, though we have observed some spending hesitancy in other parts of the services business. We are raising our 2025 profitability targets and narrowing our revenue guidance to reflect the most likely range of outcomes as we approach the end of the year," said John Gallagher, Chief Financial Officer.
Third Quarter 2025 Results
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $104.6 million, representing year-over-year growth of 10% on a reported basis and on a constant currency basis. Total revenue included $5.8 million of Chemaxon revenue. The overall increase in revenue was primarily driven by contribution from M&A and growth in our biosimulation software and services portfolio. Please see note (1) in the section "A Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for more information on constant currency revenue.
Software revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $43.8 million, representing year-over-year growth of 22% on a reported basis and 21% on a constant currency basis. Organic software revenue growth was 6%. Software growth was driven by contribution from M&A and biosimulation software.
Services revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $60.8 million, representing year-over-year growth of 3% on a reported basis and on a constant currency basis. Services growth was driven by biosimulation services.
Total Bookings for the third quarter of 2025 were $96.6 million representing a year-over-year growth of 1%. Total Bookings included $4.5 million of Chemaxon bookings.
Software Bookings for the third quarter of 2025 were $40.8 million, representing a year-over-year growth of 17%. Organic software bookings grew 5% year-over-year. The increase in software bookings was primarily due to strength in Certaraโs core biosimulation software and contribution from Chemaxon.
Services Bookings for the third quarter of 2025 were $55.8 million, representing 9% a year-over-year decrease. The decrease in service bookings was mainly influenced by softer trends among our tier-one customers, predominantly in the Regulatory services business.
Total cost of revenues for the third quarter of 2025 was $39.7 million, an increase of $2.5 million from $37.2 million in the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher software amortization expense, professional and consulting costs, and license fees.
Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2025 were $61.9 million, which increased by $6.9ย million from $55.0 million in the third quarter of 2024. Higher operating expenses were primarily due to a $5.4 million increase in employee-related costs, a $1.4 million increase in stock based compensation cost, and $0.8 million increase in equipment and software expenses, and a $0.6 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by higher capitalized R&D costs and lower facility and lease related expense.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2025 was $35.2 million compared to $33.1 million for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $2.2 million. See note (2) in the section A Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for more information on adjusted EBITDA.
Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2025 was $0.01, as compared to a diluted loss per share of $(0.01) in the third quarter of 2024.
Net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $1.5 million, compared to a net loss of $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2024. The $2.9ย million increase in income was primarily due to an increase in gross profit, higher tax benefits, and an increase in net other income, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.
Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $22.2 million compared to $20.3 million for the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $2.0ย million. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2025 was $0.14, flat compared to $0.13 for the third quarter of 2024. 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.

2025 Financial Outlook
Certara is updating its guidance for the full year 2025:
- Full year 2025 revenue to be in the range of $415 million to $420 million.
- Full year adjusted EBITDA margin to be approximately 32%.
- Full year adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.45 - $0.47.
- Fully diluted shares are expected to be in the range of 160 million to 162 million.
Please note that the Company has not reconciled adjusted EBITDA (including its related margin) 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.

A Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains โnon-GAAP measuresโ 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 (โGAAPโ). Specifically, the Company makes use of the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin adjusted net income (loss), adjusted diluted earnings per share, and constant currency (โCCโ) revenue, which are not recognized terms under GAAP. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), net income (loss) margin, 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 Companyโs 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 โReconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measuresโ 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, such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted diluted earnings per share and CC revenue, to make budgeting decisions, to make certain compensation decisions, and to compare the Companyโs 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 Companyโs 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 EBITDA margin, 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, these non-GAAP measures are 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.
(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 for (benefit from) 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. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.
(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 EBITDA margin, 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.
