DETROIT -- May 20, 2015 -- Covisint Corporation (Nasdaq: COVS), a leading cloud platform provider enabling the Internet of Things (IoT) and Identity Management (IdM) solutions, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended March 31, 2015.

“Fiscal 2015 was a transformative year for Covisint. Over the past twelve months, we successfully transitioned to a fully independent enterprise-grade software company, made a number of strategically significant decisions in both our subscription and services businesses, and transformed our leadership and sales teams,” said Covisint Chairman and CEO Sam Inman. “As we move forward in fiscal 2016, Covisint is well positioned to become the cloud platform of choice for IoT and identity-centric solutions. We are extremely excited about our position within the market and will work diligently with our strategic partners to deploy Covisint’s solutions to help enterprises digitally transform how they do business with their customers and business partners.”

For fiscal year 2016 the company will focus on four key initiatives:


•	Continue to build out our direct sales organization;


•	Refine and enhance our relationship with our current strategic partners, as well as work to develop and build our pipeline of potential strategic partners;


•	Improve our branding and product positioning in the market; and


•	Continue to enhance our platform to meet and lead market demand.

Fiscal 2015 Financial Results


•	Revenues: Subscription and support revenue decreased 1% year-over-year to $66.3 million. Services revenue decreased 27% year-over-year to $22.2 million. Total revenues decreased by 9% year-over-year to $88.5 million.


•	Gross Profit: GAAP gross profit was $22.1 million. GAAP gross margin was 25%. Non-GAAP gross profit was $37.8 million. Non-GAAP gross margin was 43%.


•	Earnings: GAAP diluted loss per share was ($1.01) compared to ($1.06) last year. Non-GAAP diluted loss per share was ($0.52) compared to ($0.50) in the prior year.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2015 Financial Results


•	Revenues: Subscription and support revenue increased 8% year-over-year to $18.4 million. Services revenue decreased 31% year-over-year to $5.1 million. Total revenues decreased by 4% year-over-year to $23.5 million.

•

Gross Profit: GAAP gross profit was $1.0 million. GAAP gross margin was 4%.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2015 Business Highlights

In the fourth quarter, Covisint:

•

At CES 2015, announced that the Covisint platform is providing support for Hyundai's newly released Hyundai Blue Link smartwatch application. The application is the latest innovation in Hyundai's Blue Link telematics platform, which is secured and integrated by Covisint. With Blue Link, customers can remotely activate certain automotive functions, including remote start, as well as receive important vehicle information via their mobile devices, which now include smartwatches.


•	Announced that its chief security officer, David Miller, presented at the IBM InterConnect 2015 Conference and discussed how connectivity is achieved with one of the biggest items in the Internet of Things (IoT) - the vehicle.


•	Announced strategic relationship with Tech Mahindra focused on expanding IoT platform and digital transformation solutions for global enterprises. This initiative will provide Covisint a distinct advantage with alliances and customers. Covisint's cloud-based platform and Tech Mahindra's expertise in IoT and digital transformation will open up promising opportunities for both enterprises.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Covisint monitors non-GAAP measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA. Each of these financial measures excludes the impact of certain items (the impact of stock award compensation expense, the amortization and impairment of intangible assets and amounts incurred for capitalized internal software costs) and, therefore, has not been calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Covisint monitors these non-GAAP measures to evaluate its ongoing operational performance and enhance an overall understanding of its past financial performance. Covisint believes that these non-GAAP metrics help illustrate underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the income or expenses, as well as the related tax effects, that are excluded in non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA. Furthermore, Covisint uses these measures to establish budgets and operational goals for managing its business and evaluating its performance. Covisint also believes that these non-GAAP measures provide additional tools for investors to use in comparing its recurring core business operating results over multiple periods against other companies in its industry.

The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included with the financial statements contained in this press release. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating its business internally and as such has determined that it is important to provide this information to investors.

Conference Call and Webcast Information

Covisint management will hold a conference call at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) today to discuss these results. The U.S. toll free dial-in for the conference call is 1-877-407-4018, and the international dial-in number is 1-201-689-8471. No passcode is required. A live webcast of the conference call will also be available on the company's website at investors.covisint.com.

For those unable to participate in the conference call, a replay will be available after the conclusion of the earnings call on May 20, 2015, through May 27, 2015. The U.S. toll-free replay dial-in number is 1-877-870-5176 and the international replay dial-in number is 1-858-384-5517. The replay passcode is 13607930.
