Second Quarter and Six Month Revenues Up 9% and 2% Year-Over-Year, Respectively
Second Quarter and Six Month Earnings from Operations Up 212% and 182% Year-Over-Year, Respectively
Datalink (Nasdaq: DTLK), a leading provider of IT services and solutions, today reported results for its second quarter and six months that ended June 30, 2016. Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, increased 9% to $199.2 million compared to $182.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, and increased 21% over revenues of $164.6 million in the first quarter of 2016. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016, increased 2% to $363.8 million compared to $358.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
GAAP Results
On a GAAP basis, the company reported net earnings of $3.9 million or $0.18 per diluted share for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016. This compares to net earnings of $661,000 or $0.03 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the company reported net earnings of $3.4 million or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $647,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The income tax expense for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016 includes discrete tax benefits of approximately $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, primarily due to research and development tax credits for 2012 thru 2016. The company has determined that certain activities it performs qualify for research and development tax credits as defined by Internal Revenue Code Section 41. Excluding this credit, earnings per diluted share for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016 would have been $0.10 and $0.08, respectively.
Non-GAAP Results
Non-GAAP net earnings for the second quarter of 2016 were $3.9 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net earnings of $2.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the company reported non-GAAP net earnings of $5.2 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net earnings of $5.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2015. A detailed reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information is contained in the tables included herein. The income tax expense for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016 includes discrete tax benefits primarily for research and development tax credits of $500,000 on an annualized basis for 2016. Excluding this credit, non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016 would have been $0.17 and $0.22, respectively.
Highlights
- Second quarter earnings from operations increased 212% to $3.7 million on a GAAP basis and 35% to $6.4 million on a non-GAAP basis compared to second quarter 2015.
- A 132% year-over-year increase in sales of all-flash storage, with flash now representing 51% of the company’s storage sales compared to 21% in 2015. Flash storage yields lower gross margins than traditional storage but helps to offset continued declines in traditional storage revenues and also drives migration and other consulting services when part of a converged solution.
- A 5% year-over-year increase in total services revenues, reflecting the company’s emphasis on growing its services business. Services comprised 41% of the company’s year to date revenues in 2016, up from 40% in the first six months of 2015.
- A continued increase in $1 million+ customers, with seven-figure spending by 40 organizations in the second quarter of 2016 compared to 30 in the same period in 2015.
- A #45 ranking on CRN’s 2016 Solution Provider 500 list of the top technology integrators, solution providers and IT consultants in North America by revenue, as well as its fifth consecutive CRN Tech Elite 250 honor reflecting the company’s extensive list of advanced technical certifications.
- Strong balance sheet with the company ending the quarter with over $70.8 million of cash and investments and no debt.
Outlook
“We had a solid second quarter, highlighted by strong revenue and earnings growth. Contributing to this growth were several seven-figure data center modernization contracts that demonstrate the complex mix of technologies and services required to optimize data center operations today. Our ability to provide a full range of consulting, project planning and management, implementation, data migration and automation services were instrumental in securing these contracts,” said Paul Lidsky, Datalink’s president and CEO. “At the same time, the market has accepted flash storage at a faster rate than we expected earlier in the year, which impacts our overall revenue growth and gross margins. As a result we no longer believe our annual growth rate will reach our original forecast of 4% to 6% and instead our annual growth rate will be more in line with industry averages.”

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for certain forward-looking statements. This press release contains forward-looking statements, including (i) anticipated margin pressure and plans to drive profitable growth, and (ii) Datalink’s projections of certain anticipated 2016 results, which reflect our views regarding future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those identified below, which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. The words "aim,” "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "should" and other expressions which indicate future events and trends identify forward-looking statements. Actual future results and trends may differ materially from historical results or those anticipated depending upon a variety of factors, many of which are included under “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for our year ended December 31, 2015, including, but not limited to: the level of continuing demand for IT services and solutions including the effects of current economic and credit conditions and the ability of organizations to outsource data center infrastructure-related services to service providers such as us; the migration of organizations to virtualized server environments, including using a private cloud computing infrastructure; the extent to which customers deploy disk-based backup recovery solutions; the realization of the expected trends identified for advanced network infrastructures; reliance by manufacturers on their data service partners to integrate their specialized products; customers switching to solid state storage solutions; continued preferred status with certain principal suppliers; competition and pricing pressures and timing of our installations that may adversely affect our revenues and profits; fixed employment costs that may impact profitability if we suffer revenue shortfalls; our ability to hire and retain key technical and sales personnel; continued productivity of our sales personnel; our dependence on key suppliers; our ability to adapt to rapid technological change; risks associated with integrating completed and future acquisitions (including a failure of anticipated synergies to materialize); the ability to execute our acquisition strategy; fluctuations in our quarterly operating results; future changes in applicable accounting rules; and volatility in our stock price. Furthermore, our revenues for any particular quarter are not necessarily reflected by our backlog of contracted orders, which also may fluctuate unpredictably. We cannot assure you that we can grow or maintain our revenue and backlog from current levels. Additional factors that may cause actual results to differ from our assumptions and expectations include those set forth in our most recent filing on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Details
Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact from acquisition accounting adjustments to deferred revenue and costs, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition intangible assets, integration and transaction costs related to acquisitions, severance costs and the related effects on income taxes. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for measures prepared in accordance with, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. We believe that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
These non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management's internal comparisons to our historical operating results and comparisons to competitors' operating results. We include these non-GAAP financial measures in our earnings announcement because we believe they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making, such as employee compensation planning. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations.
