Insights

Financial Results Analyst

Strong top‑line and margin expansion with clear guidance; results show durable recurring revenue growth.

SPS Commerce delivered $189.9 million revenue in Q3 2025, a 16% increase year‑over‑year and 18% recurring revenue growth, while Adjusted EBITDA rose 25% to $60.5 million. Net income and non‑GAAP EPS also increased, supporting the claim of both scale and profitability.

Key dependencies include the sustainability of recurring revenue and customer retention that underpin the 99 consecutive quarters claim, and the company’s ability to manage costs while investing in growth. Guidance for Q4 2025 and fiscal 2025 provides quantifiable expectations for revenue, EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA that align with reported trends.

Watch revenue progression against the Q4 range Q4 2025, execution on the recurring revenue base, and reconciliation of non‑GAAP measures; expect meaningful updates over the next quarter as actuals replace guidance.

Capital Allocation Strategist

Board-enabled buyback and steady cash generation signal shareholder return focus alongside organic growth.

The Board authorized a new share repurchase program up to $100.0 million, effective December 1, 2025, funded from cash on hand; the company repurchased $30.0 million in Q3 2025. Cash and cash equivalents stood at $133,725 as of September 30, 2025, and the company reported 37.7 million shares outstanding.

Risks include the impact of repurchases on liquidity given cash declined versus year‑end and the conditional nature of the program. Monitor actual repurchase cadence, remaining cash balance, and the interaction with outstanding share count across the remainder of 2025 and into the program period ending December 1, 2027.

Near term, track buyback execution and quarterly cash flow reports; within two quarters there will be clear evidence of how repurchases affect per‑share metrics and capital flexibility.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, we provide investors with Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and non-GAAP income per share, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to our management, Board of Directors, and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations.

Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and planning purposes. Adjusted EBITDA is also used for purposes of determining executive and senior management incentive compensation. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to an investor as they are widely used in evaluating operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are used to measure operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets, and to present a meaningful measure of corporate performance exclusive of capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our condensed consolidated financial statements and are subject to inherent limitations. Investors should review the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures that are included in this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA Measures:

Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income adjusted for income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, realized gain or loss from investments held and foreign currency impact on cash and investments, investment income, and other adjustments as necessary for a fair presentation. Other adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2025 included the expense impact from disposals of other equipment and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included the expense impacts from disposals of certain capitalized internally developed software, disposals of other equipment, and one-time acquisition-related insurance costs. Net income is the comparable GAAP measure of financial performance.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin consists of Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Margin, the comparable GAAP measure of financial performance, consists of net income divided by revenue.

Non-GAAP Income Per Share Measure:

Non-GAAP income per share consists of net income adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense related to intangible assets, realized gain or loss from investments held and foreign currency impact on cash and investments, other adjustments as necessary for a fair presentation, including for the three months ended September 30, 2025 the expense impact from disposals of other equipment and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 the expense impacts from disposals of certain capitalized internally developed software, disposals of other equipment, and one-time acquisition-related insurance costs, and the corresponding tax impacts of the adjustments to net income, divided by the weighted average number of shares of common and diluted stock outstanding during each period. Net income per share, the comparable GAAP measure of financial performance, consists of net income divided by the weighted average number of shares of common and diluted stock outstanding during each period. To quantify the tax effects, we recalculated income tax expense excluding the direct book and tax effects of the specific items constituting the non-GAAP adjustments. The difference between this recalculated income tax expense and GAAP income tax expense is presented as the income tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments.
