SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/02/16 -- Castlight Health, Inc. (NYSE: CSLT), a leading health benefits platform provider, today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

"We were pleased to pass a milestone during the third quarter by reaching $100 million in annualized revenue run rate. We also added 14 net new logos, with a majority of our new customers buying our full platform solution," said Giovanni Colella, M.D., co-founder and chief executive officer of Castlight Health. "As the market increasingly moves toward mainstream buyers, we see growing demand for a comprehensive, cloud-based platform that addresses a broad range of health benefits challenges. We believe Castlight is a natural platform to drive utilization across multiple solutions, positioning us well in a multi-billion dollar market opportunity."

Financial Performance for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016

  • Total revenue for the third quarter of 2016 was $25.5 million, an increase of 31% from the third quarter of 2015. Subscription revenue was $23.9 million, an increase of 31% on a year-over-year basis.
  • Gross margin for the third quarter of 2016 was 68.8%, compared to a gross margin of 55.5% in the third quarter of 2015. Non-GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of 2016 was 72.1% compared to a non-GAAP gross margin of 59.3% in the third quarter of 2015.
  • Operating loss for the third quarter of 2016 was $11.5 million, compared to an operating loss of $20.1 million in the third quarter of 2015. Non-GAAP operating loss for the third quarter of 2016 was $5.5 million, compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of $15.9 million in the third quarter of 2015.
  • Net loss per basic and diluted share was $0.11 in the third quarter of 2016, compared to a net loss per basic and diluted share of $0.21 in the third quarter of 2015. The non-GAAP net loss per basic and diluted share for the third quarter of 2016 was $0.05, compared to a net loss per basic and diluted share of $0.17 in the third quarter of 2015. For both GAAP and non-GAAP purposes, the weighted average basic and diluted share count for the third quarter of 2016 was 103.1 million compared to 94.4 million in the third quarter of 2015.
  • Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $116.4 million at the end of the third quarter of 2016. Cash used in operations for the third quarter of 2016 was $9.4 million, compared to $14.5 million used in operations in the third quarter of 2015.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in this press release in the accompanying tables. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures".

"Over the last 5 quarters, we have reduced our quarterly non-GAAP operating expenses by 16% while non-GAAP gross margins have increased by 1,300 basis points and our revenue run rate has grown by 38%. Along the way, we have continued to increase investments in product development while also putting in place strategic channel partners that we expect will drive growth in our business during 2017 and beyond," said John Doyle, President and COO of Castlight Health. "The reduction of our third quarter non-GAAP operating loss to the lowest level in 4 years puts us well on track to bringing our business to cash flow break-even in mid-2017, and positioning us with a meaningful cash balance to continue funding our strategic growth initiatives."

Business Outlook

Full Year 2016 Guidance: The Company continues to expect revenue to track toward the mid-point of its $99.0 million to $102.0 million guidance range for the full year 2016. The Company expects to outperform its previously issued non-GAAP operating loss guidance range of $40.0 million to $42.0 million, as well as its previously issued non-GAAP net loss per share guidance range of $0.40 to $0.42 based on 100 million to 101 million weighted average basic and diluted common shares outstanding.

For the full year 2016, non-GAAP guidance excludes the effects of stock-based compensation expense, charge related to reduction in workforce and the capitalization and amortization of internal-use software.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Castlight Health's financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we also use and provide investors and others with non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance, including non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share. These non-GAAP financial measures differ from GAAP financial measures in that they exclude stock-based compensation, warrant expense, litigation settlement, charges related to a reduction in workforce, and capitalization and amortization of internal-use software and the associated tax impact of these items, where applicable.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors and others, facilitate the analysis of the company's core operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods, and can help enhance overall understanding of the company's historical financial performance.

We have provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, except that we have not reconciled our non-GAAP operating loss and net loss per share guidance for the full year 2016 to comparable GAAP operating loss and net loss per share guidance because we do not provide guidance for stock-based compensation expense and capitalization and amortization of internal-use software, which are reconciling items between GAAP and non-GAAP operating loss. The factors that may impact our future stock-based compensation expense and capitalization and amortization of internal-use software are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, and therefore we are unable to provide such guidance without unreasonable effort.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore comparability may be limited. Castlight Health encourages investors and others to review the company's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
