Total revenue for the second quarter was $23.2 million, a 26% increase from $18.4 million a year ago. Excluding the $1.9 million in total revenue from Neckermann in the second quarter of 2012, total revenue grew 41%.

"We had a record second quarter highlighted by exceptional customer growth and strong sales execution," stated Tom Ebling, Chief Executive Officer, Demandware. "Enterprise scale retailers and brands are increasingly moving digital commerce to the cloud, choosing Demandware's proven solution to power omni-channel operations, to expand globally and to roll out multi-brand strategies. We are the clear leader in enterprise-class cloud commerce solutions, a market rich with opportunity. To capitalize on this opportunity, we remain intensely focused on capturing market share while delivering the highest levels of customer satisfaction as we continue to set the standard for digital commerce innovation."

  • Demandware signed significant new customers during the quarter including 1-800 CONTACTS, Hickory Farms, Johnston & Murphy, Sandro, Sleepy's, WE Europe B.V. and Wet Seal.

  • Leading retailers such as Fox Head, Nambe, Oviessa, Ticket to Heaven and Vilebrequin were among the companies that launched new initial sites on the Demandware Commerce platform during the second quarter.

  • Existing customers like american golf, Awana, Beats Electronics, Boot Barn, Diageo (with PFSweb), Ethan Allen, New Balance and Summit Sports, expanded their operations on the Demandware Commerce platform.

"We exceeded expectations for subscription revenue, posting comparable growth greater than 50 percent," stated Scott Dussault, Demandware Chief Financial Officer. "Our success in the quarter was driven by our customers' growth. They continued to outperform by leveraging the power of our robust digital commerce platform. Comparable customers once again increased their digital commerce businesses by more than 30 percent. We also had another fantastic quarter for customer acquisition, breaking the impressive records we set in the first quarter of this year. The second quarter was the best quarter in the company's history in terms of both average committed contract value and number of customers acquired. Our strong performance in the first half of the year positions us well for future growth. As we move into the second half, we are continuing to execute the plan we set at the beginning of the year to invest in sales and marketing and R&D in order to further expand our strong pipeline and deliver continual innovation as well as robust platform performance to our customers."

Demandware's loss from operations for the second quarter of 2013 was $8.4 million, as compared to a loss from operations of $5.1 million for the same period in 2012, reflecting the company's increased investments to support the growth of its business.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Demandware has provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share. Demandware uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating Demandware's ongoing operational performance. Demandware believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial measures with other companies in Demandware's industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share exclude expenses related to stock-based compensation and the accretion of redeemable preferred stock. These amounts are often difficult to predict and often excluded by other companies to help investors understand the operational performance of their business. Non-GAAP financial measures that the Company uses may differ from measures that other companies may use. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables included as part of this press release.
