Demandware Announces First Quarter 2012 Financial Results

Strength of SaaS Business Model Demonstrated by Year-over-Year Growth in Subscription Revenue

BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 2012--Demandware®, Inc. (NYSE: DWRE), a leader in on-demand ecommerce, today announced strong financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

First Quarter Highlights

• Total revenue for the first quarter was $16.1 million, a 39% year over year increase from $11.6 million in the first quarter of 2011
• Subscription revenue for the first quarter was $13.6 million, a 46% year over year increase from $9.3 million in the first quarter of 2011
• 110 live customers and 402 live sites at March 31, 2012
• Closed initial public offering, raising $94.1 million in proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions

“The key financial highlights from our first quarter results were the year-over-year growth in our subscription revenue as well as the increase in live customers and live sites on our platform,” stated Tom Ebling, Chief Executive Officer of Demandware. “Global retailers and branded manufacturers continue to recognize that Demandware’s robust technology platform and SaaS delivery model can enable them to grow their online business faster and keep up with the rapid pace of eCommerce innovation. As a result, leading retailers such as Baccarat, Elizabeth Arden, and Gerber Childrenswear LLC were among the companies that launched new initial sites on the Demandware Commerce platform during the first quarter. Given our success this quarter and the significant market opportunity for cloud-based eCommerce solutions, we plan to continue to make strategic investments in our business.”

Demandware signed new customers during the quarter including Ecco, Oreck, TaylorMade, and Pacific Sunwear. The company’s business also grew as a result of its existing customers (such as Deckers, Crocs, Lands’ End, and New Balance) launching ecommerce sites in new geographies or for new brands.

“We continued to execute against our land and expand strategy. We grew our subscription revenue by adding new customers on the platform and through our existing customers expanding their business by growing their initial site or by launching new sites in new geographies or with new brands,” stated Scott Dussault, Demandware Chief Financial Officer. “The investments we are making today in our robust software platform and our sales and marketing engine further strengthen our leadership position in the market for eCommerce solutions and, we believe will contribute to our growth in the years ahead.”

Demandware’s loss from operations for the first quarter of 2012 was $1.8 million, as compared to a loss from operations of $1.0 million for the same period in 2011, reflecting the company's increased investments to support the growth of its business.

Our GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2012 was $2.2 million, or $(0.42) per share attributable to common stockholders, as compared to a net loss of $0.7 million, or $(0.66) per share attributable to common shareholders, for the first quarter of 2011.

Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2012 was $1.9 million, or $(0.23) per share, as compared to non-GAAP net loss of $0.2 million, or $(0.06) per share, for the first quarter of 2011. ⁽¹⁾

⁽¹⁾Non-GAAP results exclude expenses related to stock-based compensation and the accretion of redeemable preferred stock.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Demandware has provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share. Demandware uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating Demandware’s ongoing operational performance.
