Shawn O’Connor, chief executive officer of Simulations Plus, said: "Keeping with historical seasonality trends, the third quarter was again a strong quarter with revenue increasing 24% year-over-year to $12.3 million, demonstrating the significant progress we have made to accelerate growth. A solid base of recurring revenue and a large backlog of project-based service business have minimized the impact from current economic conditions resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. While certain new customer software license and service projects were delayed in recent months, we continue to believe opportunities have been delayed, but not lost. Our backlog remains healthy, and we are encouraged by the pickup of new software license closures and consulting contracts at the end of the quarter. We expect double-digit, year-over-year revenue growth in the fiscal fourth quarter, despite the impact of seasonality on a sequential basis.”

"The integration of Lixoft is going well and initial feedback from the marketplace has been positive as customers acknowledge the strengthening of our offerings with the Monolix Suite,” Mr. O’Connor continued. "We are collaborating across the enterprise to fully integrate our sales and marketing efforts and leverage our existing infrastructure to extract maximum synergies and present a unified approach to our customers.”

John Kneisel, chief financial officer of Simulations Plus, added: "The dependable cash flow generation of our business was further enhanced with the immediately accretive acquisition of Lixoft in the third quarter. Following this cash investment, our financial position remains strong with a solid balance sheet that includes $7 million in unrestricted cash and no outstanding borrowed debt at the end of the third quarter and access to additional capital via a new, undrawn $3.5 million line of credit. Through a steady approach to growth and the prudent allocation of capital, we are able to maintain the economic engine of our business, invest for future growth, and return capital to shareholders in the form of quarterly cash dividends.”

In addition, the Company today filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission”) a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement”) filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act”). The Registration Statement was filed as a "well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, using an automatic "shelf” registration process and, thus, was immediately effective. No securities were sold in connection with its filing, but, by using a shelf registration statement, the Company may sell securities from time to time in the future and as described in a subsequently filed prospectus supplement.

Shawn O’Connor, chief executive officer of Simulations Plus, said: "The Company’s filing of its shelf registration provides the company the flexibility required to support any future need to issue securities for any working capital, mergers and acquisitions, or general corporate purposes in the future. Our recent qualification under the well-known seasoned issuer standard made this undertaking timely and efficient.”

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 3, 2020, to shareholders of record as of July 27, 2020. The declaration of any future dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors each quarter and will depend on earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors.
