NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE A – General
Business Description

SPS Commerce is a leading provider of cloud-based supply chain management services across our global retail network. Our products make it easier for retailers, suppliers, grocers, distributors, and logistics firms to orchestrate the management of item data, order fulfillment, inventory control, and sales analytics across omnichannel retail channels. SPS Commerce delivers our products using a full-service model whereby our internal experts monitor, update, and boost network performance on our customers’ behalf.
The services offered by SPS Commerce eliminate the need for on-premise software and support staff by taking on that capability on the customer’s behalf. The services we provide enable our customers to increase their supply cycle agility, optimize their inventory levels and sell-through, reduce operational costs and gain increased visibility into customer orders, to help ensure that suppliers, grocers, distributors, and logistics firms can satisfy exacting retailer requirements.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of SPS Commerce, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
This interim financial information has been prepared under the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We have included all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to provide a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
There were no material changes in our significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2022. See Note A to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC, for additional information regarding our significant accounting policies.

Total revenue$109,178 $94,539 $214,371 $184,633 
Revenues are the amount that reflects the consideration we are contractually and legally entitled to, as well as expect to collect, in exchange for those services.
Recurring Revenues
Recurring revenues consist of recurring subscriptions from customers that utilize our Fulfillment, Analytics, and Other supply chain management products. Revenue for these products is generally recognized on a ratable basis over the contract term beginning on the date that our service is made available to the customer. Our contracts with our recurring revenue customers are recurring in nature, generally ranging from monthly to annual, and generally allow the customer to cancel the contract for any reason with 30 to 90 days’ notice. Timing of billings varies by customer and by contract type and generally are either in advance or within 30 days of the service being performed.
Given that the recurring revenue contracts are for one year or less, we have applied the optional exemption to not disclose information about the remaining performance obligations for recurring revenue contracts.
One-time Revenues
One-time revenues consist of set-up fees and miscellaneous fees from customers.
Set-up revenues
Set-up fees are specific for each connection a customer has with a trading partner. These nonrefundable fees are necessary for our customers to utilize our services and do not provide any standalone value. Many of our customers have connections with numerous trading partners.
Set-up fees constitute a material renewal option right that provide customers a significant future incentive that would not be otherwise available to that customer unless they entered into the contract, as the set-up fees will not be incurred again upon contract renewal. As such, set-up fees and related costs are deferred and recognized ratably over two years, which is the estimated period for which a material right is present for our customers.
The table below presents the activity of the portion of the deferred revenue liability relating to set-up fees:

The entire balance of deferred set-up fees will be recognized within two years. Those that will be recognized within the next year are classified as current, whereas the remainder are classified as non-current.
Miscellaneous one-time revenues
Miscellaneous one-time fees consist of professional services and testing and certification.
The contract period for these one-time fees is for one year or less and recognized at the time service is provided. We have applied the optional exemption to not disclose information about the remaining performance obligations for miscellaneous one-time fee contracts since they have original durations of one year or less.

NOTE J – Stock-Based Compensation
Our equity compensation plans provide for the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock options, as well as other stock-based awards including performance share units (“PSUs”), restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and deferred stock units (“DSUs”), to employees, non-employee directors and other consultants who provide services to us. We also provide an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) and 401(k) match to eligible participants.
We recognize stock-based compensation expense based on grant date award fair value. This cost is recognized over the period for which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award or the award performance period, except for expenses relating to retirement-eligible employees that have not given their required notice, which is recognized on a pro-rata basis over the notice period prior to retirement. At June 30, 2022, there were approximately 13.2 million shares available for grant under approved equity compensation plans.

NOTE K – Income Taxes
We record our interim provision for income taxes by applying our estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date pretax income and adjust the provision for discrete tax items recorded in the period. Differences between our effective tax rate and statutory tax rates are primarily due to the impact of permanently non-deductible expenses partially offset by the federal research and development credits and tax benefits associated with foreign-derived intangible income. Additionally, excess tax benefits generated upon settlement or exercise of stock awards are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense as a discrete tax item in the quarter that the event occurs, creating potentially significant fluctuation in tax expense by quarter and by year. Our provisions for income taxes includes current federal, state, and foreign income tax expense, as well as deferred tax expense.

Similarly, statements that describe our future plans, objectives or goals are also forward-looking. Forward-looking statements may also be made from time to time in oral presentations, including telephone conferences and/or webcasts open to the public. Shareholders, potential investors and others are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause results in future periods to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the statements made in this report, including the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as may be updated in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q from time to time. We expressly disclaim any intent or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview
SPS Commerce is a leading provider of cloud-based supply chain management services across our global retail network. Our products make it easier for retailers, suppliers, grocers, distributors, and logistics firms to orchestrate the management of item data, order fulfillment, inventory control, and sales analytics across omnichannel retail channels. SPS Commerce delivers our products using a full-service model whereby our internal experts monitor, update, and boost network performance on our customers’ behalf.
The services offered by SPS Commerce eliminate the need for on-premise software and support staff by taking on that capability on the customer’s behalf. The services we provide enable our customers to increase their supply cycle agility, optimize their inventory levels and sell-through, reduce operational costs and gain increased visibility into customer orders, to help ensure that suppliers, grocers, distributors, and logistics firms can satisfy exacting retailer requirements.
We plan to continue to grow our business by further penetrating the supply chain management market, increasing revenues from our customers as their businesses grow, expanding our distribution channels, expanding our international presence and, from time to time, developing new products and applications. We also intend to selectively pursue acquisitions that will add customers, allow us to expand into new regions, or allow us to offer new functionalities.
Key Financial Terms, Metrics and Non-GAAP Measures
We have several key financial terms and metrics, as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC, under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
To supplement our 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 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 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.
These non-GAAP 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 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 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Revenues - Revenues increased for the 86th consecutive quarter. The increase in revenue resulted from two primary factors: the increase in recurring revenue customers, which is driven primarily by continued business growth and by business acquisitions, and the increase in average recurring revenues per recurring revenue customer, which we also refer to as wallet share.
The number of recurring revenue customers increased 12% to 38,650 at June 30, 2022 from 34,550 at June 30, 2021 primarily due to sales and marketing efforts to acquire new customers and due to recent acquisitions.
Wallet share increased 4% to $10,550 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $10,150 for the same period in 2021. This was primarily attributable to increased usage of our products by our recurring revenue customers.
Recurring revenues increased 16% to $101.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Recurring revenues from recurring revenue customers accounted for 93% and 92% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We anticipate that the number of recurring revenue customers and wallet share will continue to increase as we execute our growth strategy focused on further penetrations of our market.
Cost of Revenues - The increase in cost of revenues was primarily due to increased headcount, which resulted in an increase of $4.7 million in personnel-related costs and an increase of $0.5 million in software subscriptions.
Sales and Marketing Expenses - The increase in sales and marketing expense was primarily due to increased headcount, which resulted in an increase of $2.0 million in personnel-related costs.
Research and Development Expenses - The increase in research and development expense was primarily due to increased headcount, which resulted in an increase of $2.1 million in personnel-related costs.

Table of Contents
General and Administrative Expenses - The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily related to supporting continued business growth, including an increase in headcount which resulted in an increase in personnel-related costs of $0.8 million. Additionally, there was an increase in professional fees of $0.8 million, which was offset by a decrease of $0.8 million in charitable contributions.
Amortization of Intangible Assets - The decrease in amortization of intangible assets was driven by the full amortization of previously acquired intangible assets as partially offset by acquired intangible assets related to recent business combinations.
Other Expense, Net - The increase in net other expenses was primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes.
Income Tax Expense - The increase in income tax expense was primarily driven by a decrease in the excess tax deductions due to the current quarter equity award settlements. Excess tax benefits generated upon the settlement or exercise of stock awards are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense and, as a result, we expect that our annual effective income tax rate will fluctuate.
Adjusted EBITDA - Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure of financial performance, consists of net income adjusted for income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, realized gain or loss from foreign currency on cash and investments held, investment income or loss, and other adjustments as necessary for a fair presentation.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, other adjustments included disposals of cloud hosting arrangement implementation costs.

Non-GAAP Income per Share - Non-GAAP income per share, which is a non-GAAP measure of financial performance, consists of net income plus stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense related to intangible assets, realized gain or loss from foreign currency on cash and investments held, other adjustments as necessary for a fair presentation, 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.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, other adjustments included disposals of cloud hosting arrangement implementation costs.
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.

Revenues - The increase in revenue resulted from two primary factors: the increase in recurring revenue customers, which is driven primarily by continued business growth and by business acquisitions, and the increase in average recurring revenues per recurring revenue customer, which we also refer to as wallet share.
The number of recurring revenue customers increased 12% to 38,650 at June 30, 2022 from 34,550 at June 30, 2021.
Wallet share increased 4% to $10,450 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $10,100 for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to increased usage of our solutions by our recurring revenue customers.
Recurring revenues increased 17% to $198.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. Recurring revenues from recurring revenue customers accounted for 93% and 92% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We anticipate that the number of recurring revenue customers and wallet share will continue to increase as we execute our growth strategy focused on further penetrations of our market.
Cost of Revenues - The increase in cost of revenues was primarily due to increased headcount, which resulted in an increase of $8.4 million in personnel-related costs, an increase of $1.1 million in stock-based compensation, and an increase of $1.0 million of software subscriptions. Additionally, as we continued to invest in the infrastructure supporting our platform, depreciation expense increased by $0.8 million.
Sales and Marketing Expenses - The increase in sales and marketing expense was primarily due to increased headcount, which resulted in an increase of $3.7 million in personnel-related costs, an increase of $0.8 million in stock-based compensation, and an increase of $0.7 million in variable compensation earned by sales personnel.
Research and Development Expenses - The increase in research and development expense was primarily due to increased headcount, which resulted in an increase of $3.2 million in personnel-related costs, an increase of $0.8 million in stock-based compensation, and an increase of $0.6 million in software subscriptions.

Table of Contents
General and Administrative Expenses - The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily related to supporting continued business growth, including an increase in headcount, which resulted in an increase in personnel-related costs of $1.6 million and an increase in stock-based compensation of $0.6 million. This was partially offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in charitable contributions.
Amortization of Intangible Assets - The decrease in amortization of intangible assets was driven by the full amortization of previously acquired intangible assets as partially offset by acquired intangible assets related to recent business combinations.
Other Expense, Net - The increase in net other expenses was primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes.
Income Tax Expense - The increase in income tax expense was primarily driven by a decrease in the excess tax deductions due to the current period equity award settlements, partially offset by a decrease in nondeductible executive compensation. Excess tax benefits generated upon the settlement or exercise of stock awards are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense and, as a result, we expect that our annual effective income tax rate will fluctuate.
Adjusted EBITDA - Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure of financial performance, consists of net income adjusted for income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, realized gain or loss from foreign currency on cash and investments held, investment income or loss, and other adjustments as necessary for a fair presentation.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, other adjustments included disposals of cloud hosting arrangement implementation costs and accelerated tenant improvement benefit, which was incurred as part of executing a lease agreement. This tenant improvement adjustment was partially offset by accelerated depreciation, which is included within Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and was also incurred as part of executing a lease agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis,

Form 10-Q for the Quarterly Period ended June 30, 2022

Table of Contents
we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates of the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
A critical accounting policy or estimate is one that is both material to the presentation of our financial statements and requires us to make difficult, subjective, or complex judgments relating to uncertain matters that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Accordingly, we believe that our policies for revenue recognition, internal-use software, and business combinations are the most critical to fully understand and evaluate our financial condition and results of operations.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no changes in our critical accounting policies or estimates. For additional information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, see the discussion under "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $259.2 million and net accounts receivable of $40.1 million. Our investments are selected in accordance with our investment policy, with a goal of maintaining liquidity and capital preservation. Our cash equivalents and short-term investments are held in highly liquid money market funds, certificates of deposits, and commercial paper.
The summary of activity within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows was as follows:

Net cash used in investing activities(5,294)(17,772)
Net cash used in financing activities(26,183)(2,276)
Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by changes in the amount and timing of settlement of operating assets and liabilities, primarily the change in accrued compensation.
Net Cash Flows from Investing Activities
The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to increased maturities of investments, partially offset by increased purchases of investments.
Net Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the increase in cash used for share repurchases.

Total$10,528 $8,974 $6,887 $— $26,389 
Future Capital Requirements
Our future capital requirements may vary significantly from those now planned and will depend on many factors, including:
costs to develop and implement new products and applications, if any;
sales and marketing resources needed to further penetrate our market and gain acceptance of new products and applications that we may develop;
expansion of our operations in the U.S. and internationally;
response of competitors to our products and applications; and
use of capital for acquisitions, if any.
Historically, we have experienced increases in our expenditures consistent with the growth in our operations and personnel, and we anticipate that our expenditures will continue to increase as we expand our business.
We believe our cash, cash equivalents, investments and our cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, investments in special purpose entities or undisclosed borrowings or debt. Additionally, we are not a party to any derivative contracts or synthetic leases.
Foreign Currency Exchange and Inflation Rate Changes
For information regarding the effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes, refer to the section entitled “Foreign Currency Exchange Risk,” included in Part I, Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Inflation and changing prices did not have a material effect on our business during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future.
Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Sensitivity Risk
The principal objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal, provide liquidity and maximize income consistent with minimizing risk of material loss. We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates. However, based on the nature and current level of our cash, cash equivalents, and investments, we believe there is no material risk of exposure. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes.
We did not have any variable interest rate outstanding debt as of June 30, 2022. Therefore, we do not have any material risk to interest rate fluctuations.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Due to international operations, we have revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Australian and Canadian dollars. Our condensed consolidated balance sheet, results of operations, and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be adversely affected in the future due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Our sales are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. Our expenses are generally denominated in the local currencies in which our operations are located. As of June 30, 2022 , we maintained approximately 5% of our total cash and cash equivalents and investments in foreign currencies.

We believe that a hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates or an inability to access foreign funds would not materially affect our ability to meet our operational needs, result in a material foreign currency loss or have a material impact on our consolidated financials.

We have not used any forward contracts or currency borrowings to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk, although we may do so in the future.
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In November 2021, we acquired the Genius Central business. Pursuant to the SEC’s general guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from our scope for a period not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, the scope of our most recent assessment did not include Genius Central. We are currently in the process of incorporating internal controls specific to Genius Central that we believe are appropriate and necessary to consolidate and report upon our financial results. Our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 will include Genius Central. As of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, excluding net intangible assets and goodwill, Genius Central represented less than 1% of our consolidated assets and approximately 1% of our consolidated revenues.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings
We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, we may be named as a defendant in legal actions or otherwise be subject to claims arising from our normal business activities. Any such actions, even those that lack merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. We believe that we have obtained adequate insurance coverage or rights to indemnification in connection with potential legal proceedings that may arise.
