Board of Directors announces quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share

Simulations Plus, Inc. (Nasdaq: SLP), a leading provider of modeling and simulation solutions for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, chemical, and consumer goods industries, today reported financial results for its third quarter of fiscal 2021, ended May 31, 2021.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2021 Financial highlights (compared with the corresponding period last fiscal year):

  • Total revenue increased 4% to $12.8 million;
  • Software revenue increased 21% to $8.3 million;
  • Services revenue declined 18% to $4.5 million;
  • Gross profit increased 7% to $10.3 million;
  • Gross margin increased from 78% to 81%;
  • Net income increased 29% to $3.8 million;
  • Diluted earnings per share increased 13% to $0.18 per share.

YTD Financial highlights (compared with the corresponding period last fiscal year):

  • Total revenue increased 14% to $36.6 million;
  • Software revenue increased 32% to $22.3 million;
  • Services revenue declined 6% to $14.3 million;
  • Gross profit increased 20% to $28.8 million;
  • Gross margin increased from 75% to 79%;
  • Net income increased 33% to $9.5 million;
  • Diluted earnings per share increased 18% to $0.46 per share.

Shawn O’Connor, chief executive officer of Simulations Plus, said: “Our software business continued its strong performance during the quarter, with revenues increasing by 21% versus last year as product updates and cross-selling initiatives led to an acceleration in growth rates. However, our overall growth rate was moderated due to a higher than normal number of late quarter project delays and drug development program cancellations in our services business, which has historically had periods of volatility. Despite these delays and cancellations, our services pipeline continued to expand, and backlog grew in the quarter. While these trends are encouraging and support our long-term outlook, the delays in services projects will impact the growth rates for the remainder of our fiscal year, and we now expect full-year revenue growth of 5 to 10%.”

Mr. O’Connor concluded, “The accelerating growth of software revenue and leverage in our business model continues to support strong and increasing profitability as demonstrated by our net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 already exceeding full-year fiscal 2020 net income. With a strong balance sheet, growing industry adoption of artificial intelligence-based simulation software and outsourced services, and an acceleration in software sales, we believe we are well-positioned for success and continue to target annual revenue growth rates above 15% over the next several years following fiscal 2021.”

Quarterly Dividend Declared

The Company’s Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per share of the Company’s common stock, payable on August 2, 2021, to shareholders of record as of July 26, 2021.
