Certara, Inc. (Nasdaq: CERT), a global leader in biosimulation, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2021 and updated guidance for 2022.
Fourth Quarter Highlights:
Full Year Highlights:
“2021 was a milestone year for Certara as we completed our first full year as a public company. The Certara team released 10 new software products and product updates and made excellent progress on integrating Pinnacle 21. We delivered strong growth in revenue and EBITDA for the year,” said William F. Feehery, chief executive officer. “In the fourth quarter, we were pleased with the performance in software, which grew 13% year over year excluding Pinnacle 21. The technology-driven services business grew 6% in the fourth quarter, below our expectations, due to the transitory impact from the Omicron variant, which delayed client-related activity. With healthy bookings trends in both software and technology-driven services, we are confident in our ability to deliver on the updated revenue and EBITDA guidance for 2022.”
Fourth Quarter 2021 Results
“Certara is entering 2022 well capitalized and positioned to continue executing on our long-term growth priorities. We are focused on investing in our business to drive mid-teens revenue growth, which we achieved in 2021 excluding Pinnacle 21.” said Andrew Schemick, chief financial officer.
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $75.3 million, representing growth of 17% over the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in revenue was primarily due to $6.1 million in revenue from Pinnacle 21, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2021, and $4.6 million in growth from our software licenses and subscriptions and technology driven services.
Total cost of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $29.3 million, a decrease from $34.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily due to a $7.2 million decrease in stock-based compensation cost, partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in software amortization expense and a $0.5 million increase in consulting cost. Excluding $0.8 million in incremental expense from Pinnacle 21, the cost of revenue decreased $6.4 million.
Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $42.6 million, a decrease from $83.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily due to a $46.4 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense, a $2.7 million increase in employee related costs, and a $1.4 million increase in acquisition costs. The remaining increases were primarily due to increases in insurance costs and intangible assets amortization expenses. Excluding $4.7 million in expense from Pinnacle 21, operating expenses decreased $45.4 million.
Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $9.7 million, compared to a net loss of $54.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Excluding $0.4 million in net income from Pinnacle 21, the net loss was $10.1 million. The $44.7 million decrease in loss was primarily due to a $10.7 million increase in revenue, a $53.6 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense and a $2.2 million decrease in interest expense, partially offset by a $15.0 million increase in tax expense, a $2.3 million increase in other employee-related cost resulting from head count growth, a $2.0 million increase in intangible amortization expense, and a $1.4 million increase in acquisition cost.
Diluted loss per share for the fourth quarter 2021 was ($0.06), as compared to ($0.40) in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $28.2 million compared to $22.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, representing 27% growth. See note (1) in the section A Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for more information on adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $1.4 million compared to $10.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter 2021 was $0.01 compared to $0.07 for the fourth quarter of 2020. See note (2) in the section A Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures, below, for more information on adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share.

2022 Financial Outlook
Certara is revising its previously reported guidance for full year 2022 by reducing the top end of the revenue range from $370 million to $360 million and the top end of the adjusted EBITDA range from $135 million to $131 million. The Company expects the following:
| FY 2022 Guidance | ||
| In millions, except per share data | ||
| Revenue | $ | 350 - $360 |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 127 - $131 |
| Adjusted diluted earnings per share (1) | $ | 0.48 - $0.53 |
Fully diluted shares for 2022 to be in the range of 156 million to 159 million;
GAAP tax rate for 2022 to be in the range of 40% to 45%; and
Cash tax rate for 2022 to be in the range of 20% to 25%;
Note that revenue guidance assumes 22% - 26% year over year growth, and excluding Pinnacle 21 assumes 15% – 18% year over year growth.
(1) The Company is planning to revise the calculation of adjusted eps to exclude amortization expense related to M&A.

A Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains “non-GAAP measures” that are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Specifically, the Company makes use of the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted diluted earnings per share, and adjusted revenue, which are not recognized terms under GAAP. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or GAAP diluted earnings per share or revenue as measures of financial performance or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a measure of discretionary cash available to the Company to invest in the growth of its business. The presentation of these measures has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company.
You should refer to the footnotes below as well as the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section in this press release below for a further explanation of these measures and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures in specific periods to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for those periods.
Management uses various financial metrics, including total revenues, income (loss) from operations, net income (loss), and certain non-GAAP measures, including those discussed above, to measure and assess the performance of the Company’s business, to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, to make certain compensation decisions, and to compare the Company’s performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. In addition, management believes these metrics provide useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s business, as they remove the effect of certain non-cash expenses and other items not indicative of its ongoing operating performance.
Management believes that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted diluted earnings per share are helpful to investors, analysts, and other interested parties because they can assist in providing a more consistent and comparable overview of our operations across our historical periods. Management believes the addition of adjusted revenue is also helpful to investors, analysts, and other interested parties because it provides insight into the revenue associated with contracts acquired in an acquisition before one-time adjustments required by purchase accounting rules and will assist in comparing operational performance across periods. In addition, each of these measures are frequently used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate and assess performance.
Please note that the Company has not reconciled the adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted earnings per share forward-looking guidance included in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to costs related to acquisitions, financings, and employee stock compensation programs, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
| (1) | Adjusted EBITDA represents net income excluding interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, intangible asset amortization, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition and integration expense and other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. |
| (2) | Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the effect of the items discussed in footnote (1) above from GAAP net income and GAAP diluted earnings per share, respectively, as well as currency gain (loss) and adjust the provision for income taxes for such charges. |
In evaluating adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in this presentation and this presentation should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual items.
