SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Castlight Health, Inc. (NYSE:CSLT), a leading health benefits platform provider, today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

"In our first quarter after closing the Jiff acquisition, Castlight's financial results reflect solid execution on our plans to reaccelerate growth and drive the business to breakeven cash flows," said John Doyle, chief executive officer of Castlight Health. "Our customers are increasingly looking to Castlight to provide a health navigation platform that engages employees with the right benefit at the right time, whether they are accessing care, managing a condition, or focused on their own well-being."

Financial Performance for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2017 was $32.1 million, an increase of 36% from the second quarter of 2016. Subscription revenue was $29.8 million, an increase of 36% on a year-over-year basis.
Gross margin for the second quarter of 2017 was 61.1%, compared to a gross margin of 62.1% in the second quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP gross margin for the second quarter of 2017 was 67.0% compared to a non-GAAP gross margin of 66.3% in the second quarter of 2016.
Operating loss for the second quarter of 2017 was $18.9 million, compared to an operating loss of $16.8 million in the second quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP operating loss for the second quarter of 2017 was $9.8 million, compared to a non-GAAP operating loss of $10.6 million in the second quarter of 2016.
Net loss per basic and diluted share was $0.11 in the second quarter of 2017, compared to a net loss per basic and diluted share of $0.17 in the second quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP net loss per basic and diluted share for the second quarter of 2017 was $0.07, compared to a net loss per basic and diluted share of $0.11 in the second quarter of 2016. For both GAAP and non-GAAP purposes, the weighted average basic and diluted share count for the second quarter of 2017 was 130.5 million compared to 99.7 million in the second quarter of 2016.
Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $96.0 million at the end of the second quarter of 2017. Cash used in operations for the second quarter of 2017 was $4.1 million, compared to $11.9 million used in operations in the second quarter of 2016.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in this press release in the accompanying tables. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Business Outlook

For the full year 2017, the Company expects GAAP revenue in the range of $132 million to $136 million. Castlight expects full year 2017 non-GAAP operating loss in the range of $31 to $35 million and non-GAAP net loss per share of approximately $0.24 to $0.28 based on approximately 125 to 127 million shares. For the full year 2017, non-GAAP guidance excludes the effects of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, capitalization and amortization of internal-use software and charges related to the acquisition.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Castlight Health's financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we also use and provide investors and others with non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance, including non-GAAP gross profit and margin, non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share and free cash flow. Non-GAAP gross profit and margin, non-GAAP operating expense, non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP net loss exclude stock-based compensation, litigation settlement, charges related to a reduction in workforce, amortization of intangibles, capitalization and amortization of internal-use software and charges related to the acquisition and the associated tax impact of these items, where applicable.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors and others, facilitate the analysis of the company's core operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods, and can help enhance overall understanding of the company's historical financial performance.

We have provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, except that we have not reconciled our non-GAAP operating loss and net loss per share guidance for the full year 2017 to comparable GAAP operating loss and net loss per share guidance because we do not provide guidance for stock-based compensation expense, capitalization and amortization of internal-use software and charges related to the acquisition, which are reconciling items between GAAP and non-GAAP operating loss. The factors that may impact our future stock-based compensation expense and capitalization and amortization of internal-use software are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, and therefore we are unable to provide such guidance without unreasonable effort. Factors include our market capitalization and related volatility of our stock price and our inability to project the cost or scope of internally produced software and charges related to the proposed acquisition for the year.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Further, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore comparability may be limited. Castlight Health encourages investors and others to review the company's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
