Ellie Mae®(NYSE Amex:ELLI), a leading provider of on-demand, enterprise level automated solutions for the residential mortgage industry, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Total revenue for the first quarter of 2012 increased 97% to $20.9 million, compared to $10.6 million in the first quarter of 2011. Net income for the first quarter of 2012 was $3.6 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(0.8) million, or $(0.22) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2011.

On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2012 was $4.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(0.3) million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2012 was $5.4 million, compared to $45 thousand for the first quarter of 2011.

A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their related GAAP financial measures is set forth below.

Key Operating Metrics as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2012:

  • On-demand revenue increased 95% year over year to $17.8 million;
  • The total number of users, both lender and broker, actively using the company’s Encompass® enterprise solution (“active Encompass users”) increased 15% year over year to 58,844;
  • Revenue per active Encompass user increased 77% year over year to $367;
  • Of all active Encompass users, 29,115 or 49%, were using the SaaS version of Encompass, an increase of 72% year over year; and
  • Total SaaS revenues increased 137% year over year to $8.4 million or 40% of total revenue.

“We had a strong first quarter with revenue growth driven by the addition of 18,000 new and converted SaaS Encompass users in 2011, and the steady increase in revenue per user,” said Sig Anderman, CEO of Ellie Mae. “Our results also demonstrate the leverage in our business model when mortgage volumes increase as we saw this quarter, when actual volumes increased over expectations.”

“The quarter’s solid performance underscores the value Ellie Mae is providing our customers as they work to address proliferating regulatory and operational challenges in today’s mortgage environment,” Mr. Anderman continued. “Our on-demand solutions, particularly our success-based pricing offering, continue to attract both new lender users and our licensed users to our SaaS platform, as it helps automate and streamline the mortgage origination process, assure regulatory compliance, facilitate best practice operations and reduce IT infrastructure and other operational costs.”

“With the business momentum we experienced in the first quarter, and improving mortgage origination volume forecasts for the year, we are raising our full year guidance,” Mr. Anderman concluded.

Second Quarter and Fiscal Year 2012 Financial Outlook

The April 2012 composite forecast of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Mortgage Bankers Association for 2012 mortgage origination volume is $1.2 trillion, which represents a 10% decrease from 2011 and reflects an increase from the January 2012 composite forecast of $1.0 trillion. These organizations publish monthly updates of their annual and quarterly forecasts. The April 2012 composite quarterly forecast for 2012 and 2013 origination volume is as follows:

                   

($ in billions)

  Q1   Q2   Q3   Q4   Annual 2012   $344   $346   $270   $240   $1,200 2013   $238   $306   $294   $228   $1,066

We are providing financial guidance based in part on these composite quarterly forecasts.

For the second quarter of 2012, revenue is expected to be in the range of $19.5 million to $20.0 million. Net income is expected to be in the range of $1.5 million to $1.9 million, or $0.07 to $0.08 per diluted share. Adjusted net income is expected to be in the range of $2.4 million to $2.8 million, or $0.11 to $0.12 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $3.5 million to $3.9 million.

For the full fiscal year 2012, revenue is expected to be in the range of $78.0 million to $79.0 million. Net income is expected to be in the range of $5.8 million to $6.3 million, or $0.26 to $0.28 per diluted share. Adjusted net income is expected to be in the range of $9.6 million to $10.1 million, or $0.42 to $0.45 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $13.1 million to $14.1 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Ellie Mae provides investors with adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with traditional GAAP operating performance of net income as part of its overall assessment of its performance. Adjusted net income consists of net income plus amortization of acquired intangibles, non-cash, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition costs and other acquisition-related adjustments. EBITDA consists of net income plus depreciation and amortization, interest income and expense and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA plus non-cash, stock-based compensation expense and acquisition costs. Ellie Mae uses adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA as measures of operating performance because they enable period to period comparisons by excluding potential differences caused by variations in the age of book depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions, and changes in interest expense and interest income that are influenced by capital market conditions. The company also believes it is useful to exclude non-cash, stock-based compensation expense from adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA because the amount of non-cash expense associated with stock-based awards made at certain prices and points in time (a) do not necessarily reflect how the company’s business is performing at any particular time and (b) can vary significantly between periods due to the timing of new stock-based awards. These non-GAAP measures are not measurements of the company’s financial performance under GAAP and have limitations as analytical tools. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, net income or operating income or other financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of the company’s profitability or liquidity. The company cautions that other companies in Ellie Mae’s industry may calculate adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA differently than the company does, further limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA is included in the tables below.
