SelectQuote, Inc. (NYSE: SLQT) reported consolidated revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 of $299.4 million compared to consolidated revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 of $274.3 million. Consolidated net income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $9.3 million compared to consolidated net loss for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 of $7.0 million. Finally, consolidated Adjusted EBITDA* for the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $44.0 million compared to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA* for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 of $12.2 million.

SelectQuote Chief Executive Officer, Tim Danker, added, “Our strong results for the third quarter are an ongoing function of our strategic redesign and the continued scale of our Healthcare Services segment. None of this would be possible without the hard work of our operational teams and importantly, SelectQuote’s talented workforce. We are proud of our achievements over the past five quarters and firmly believe our results validate our strategy to drive more predictable profit and cash flow. Specifically, in Senior, our continued gains in agent productivity, costs per policy and policyholder persistency drove margin and cash flow that were inline with previous peak results, despite increased conservatism in booked lifetime values per policy. More importantly, we believe the demonstrated unit economics in Senior were achieved with substantially enhanced forecast visibility, which drove our out performance as we were able to scale volume in both AEP and OEP.”

“Our Healthcare Services business, headlined by SelectRx, also made meaningful progress toward scaled profitability, which we expect to accelerate as membership continues to onboard and season. SelectRx’s value continues to resonate with consumers, and SelectRx will increasingly benefit SelectQuote’s financial profile given its accelerated cash flow dynamics compared to Senior.”

Mr. Danker concluded, “Based on SelectQuote’s overall out performance year-to-date, we increased our guidance for fiscal year 2023 and have positioned the business very well as we plan for fiscal 2024.”

Segment Results

We currently report on four segments: 1) Senior, 2) Healthcare Services, 3) Life, and 4) Auto & Home. The performance measures of the segments include total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.* Costs of revenue, cost of goods sold-pharmacy revenue, marketing and advertising, selling, general, and administrative, and technical development operating expenses that are directly attributable to a segment are reported within the applicable segment. Indirect costs of revenue, marketing and advertising, selling, general, and administrative, and technical development operating expenses are allocated to each segment based on varying metrics such as headcount. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as total revenue for the applicable segment less direct and allocated costs of revenue, cost of goods sold, marketing and advertising, technical development, and selling, general, and administrative operating costs and expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization expense; gain or loss on disposal of property, equipment, and software; share-based compensation expense; and non-recurring expenses such as severance payments and transaction costs. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

Lifetime Value of Commissions per Approved Policy

Lifetime value of commissions per approved policy represents commissions estimated to be collected over the estimated life of an approved policy based on multiple factors, including but not limited to, contracted commission rates, carrier mix and expected policy persistency with applied constraints. The lifetime value of commissions per approved policy is equal to the sum of the commission revenue due upon the initial sale of a policy, and when applicable, an estimate of future renewal commissions.

Combined Senior and Healthcare Services – Consumer Per Unit Economics

The opportunity to leverage our existing database and distribution model to improve access to healthcare services for our consumers has created a need for us to review our key metrics related to our per unit economics. As we think about the revenue and expenses for Healthcare Services, we note that they are derived from the marketing acquisition costs associated with the sale of an MA or MS policy, some of which costs are allocated directly to Healthcare Services, and therefore determined that our per unit economics measure should include components from both Senior and Healthcare Services. See details of revenue and expense items included in the calculation below.

Combined Senior and Healthcare Services consumer per unit economics represents total MA and MS commissions; other product commissions; other revenues, including revenues from Healthcare Services; and operating expenses associated with Senior and Healthcare Services, each shown per number of approved MA and MS policies over a given time period. Management assesses the business on a per-unit basis to help ensure that the revenue opportunity associated with a successful policy sale is attractive relative to the marketing acquisition cost. Because not all acquired leads result in a successful policy sale, all per-policy metrics are based on approved policies, which is the measure that triggers revenue recognition.

The MA and MS commission per MA/MS policy represents the LTV for policies sold in the period. Other commission per MA/MS policy represents the LTV for other products sold in the period, including DVH prescription drug plan, and other products, which management views as additional commission revenue on our agents’ core function of MA/MS policy sales. Pharmacy revenue per MA/MS policy represents revenue from SelectRx and other revenue per MA/MS policy represents revenue from Population Health, production bonuses, marketing development funds, lead generation revenue, and adjustments from the Company’s reassessment of its cohorts’ transaction prices. Total operating expenses per MA/MS policy represents all of the operating expenses within Senior and Healthcare Services. The revenue to customer acquisition cost (“CAC”) multiple represents total revenue per MA/MS policy as a multiple of total marketing acquisition cost, which represents the direct costs of acquiring leads. These costs are included in marketing and advertising expense within the total operating expenses per MA/MS policy.

The following table shows combined Senior and Healthcare Services consumer per unit economics for the periods presented. Based on the seasonality of Senior and the fluctuations between quarters, we believe that the most relevant view of per unit economics is on a rolling 12-month basis. All per MA/MS policy metrics below are based on the sum of approved MA/MS policies, as both products have similar commission profiles.

Total revenue per MA/MS policy increased 31% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the twelve months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to the increase in pharmacy revenue. Total operating expenses per MA/MS policy were nearly flat for the twelve months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the twelve months ended March 31, 2022, driven by a decrease in our marketing and advertising costs, which was offset by an increase in cost of goods sold-pharmacy revenue for Healthcare Services due to the growth of the business.

Life premium represents the total premium value for all policies that were approved by the relevant insurance carrier partner and for which the policy document was sent to the policyholder and payment information was received by the relevant insurance carrier partner during the indicated period. Because our commissions are earned based on a percentage of total premium, total premium volume for a given period is the key driver of revenue for our Life segment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures intended to supplement, not substitute for, comparable GAAP measures. To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding our GAAP financial results, we have presented in this release Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, and certain add-backs for non-cash or non-recurring expenses, including restructuring and share-based compensation expenses. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss). We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income margin. We monitor and have presented in this release Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin because they are key measures used by our management and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance, to establish budgets, and to develop operational goals for managing our business. In particular, we believe that excluding the impact of these expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude in the calculations of these non-GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, we believe that these financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects.

Reconciliations of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA are presented below beginning on page 12.

Forward Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

There are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the following: the ultimate duration and impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and any other public health events, our reliance on a limited number of insurance carrier partners and any potential termination of those relationships or failure to develop new relationships; existing and future laws and regulations affecting the health insurance market; changes in health insurance products offered by our insurance carrier partners and the health insurance market generally; insurance carriers offering products and services directly to consumers; changes to commissions paid by insurance carriers and underwriting practices; competition with brokers, including exclusively online brokers and carriers who opt to sell policies directly to consumers; competition from government-run health insurance exchanges; developments in the U.S. health insurance system; our dependence on revenue from carriers in our senior segment and downturns in the senior health as well as life, automotive and home insurance industries; our ability to develop new offerings and penetrate new vertical markets; risks from third-party products; failure to enroll individuals during the Medicare annual enrollment period; our ability to attract, integrate and retain qualified personnel; our dependence on lead providers and ability to compete for leads; failure to obtain and/or convert sales leads to actual sales of insurance policies; access to data from consumers and insurance carriers; accuracy of information provided from and to consumers during the insurance shopping process; cost-effective advertisement through internet search engines; ability to contact consumers and market products by telephone; global economic conditions, including inflation; disruption to operations as a result of future acquisitions; significant estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our financial statements; impairment of goodwill; potential litigation and other legal proceedings or inquiries; our existing and future indebtedness; our ability to maintain compliance with our debt covenants; access to additional capital; failure to protect our intellectual property and our brand; fluctuations in our financial results caused by seasonality; accuracy and timeliness of commissions reports from insurance carriers; timing of insurance carriers’ approval and payment practices; factors that impact our estimate of the constrained lifetime value of commissions per policyholder; changes in accounting rules, tax legislation and other legislation; disruptions or failures of our technological infrastructure and platform; failure to maintain relationships with third-party service providers; cybersecurity breaches or other attacks involving our systems or those of our insurance carrier partners or third-party service providers; our ability to protect consumer information and other data; and failure to market and sell Medicare plans effectively or in compliance with laws. For a further discussion of these and other risk factors that could impact our future results and performance, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) and subsequent periodic reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and, except as otherwise required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Mannatech Reports First Quarter End 2023 Financial Results

Mannatech Reports First Quarter End 2023 Financial Results

FLOWER MOUND, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Mannatech, Incorporated(NASDAQ: MTEX), a global health and wellness company committed to transforming lives to make a better world, today announced financial results for its first quarter of 2023.

First Quarter End Results

First quarter net sales for 2023 were $34.1 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 5.3%, as compared to $32.4 million in the first quarter of 2022. First quarter net sales for 2023 include the results of an annual promotion in March 2023 that occurred in April 2022. Our net sales increased 10.2% on a constant dollar basis (see Non-GAAP Measures, below) as foreign exchange decreased GAAP net sales by $1.6 million, mostly due to the decline of the Korean Won and Japanese Yen.

First quarter operating income for 2023 was $0.7 million as compared to less than $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2022.

Net income was $0.6 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2023, as compared to net income of $0.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, overall selling and administrative expenses decreased by $0.5 million to $6.4 million, as compared to $6.9 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses consisted of a $0.4 million decrease in payroll costs and a $0.1 million decrease in warehouse costs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, other operating costs increased by $0.7 million to $5.6 million, as compared to $4.9 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in operating costs was primarily due to a $0.5 million increase in consulting fees, a $0.1 million increase in travel and entertainment and a $0.1 million increase in bad debt expense.

The approximate number of new and continuing independent associate and preferred customer positions held by individuals in Mannatech’s network and associated with purchases of products as of March 31, 2023 and 2022 were approximately 143,000 and 157,000, respectively. Recruitment of new independent associates and preferred customers increased by 0.03% to 18,547 in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to 18,542 in the first quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release and related tables include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including a presentation of constant dollar measures. We disclose operating results that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, including changes in: Net Sales, Gross Profit, and Income from Operations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they are an indicator of the strength and performance of ongoing business operations. The constant currency figures are financial measures used by management to provide investors an additional perspective on trends. Although we believe the non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an exclusive alternative to accompanying GAAP financial measures. Please see the accompanying table entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Sales, Gross Profit and Income from Operations in Constant Dollars)

To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we disclose operating results that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, including changes in: Net Sales, Gross Profit, and Income from Operations. We refer to these adjusted financial measures as constant dollar items, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these measures provide investors an additional perspective on trends. To exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, we calculate current year results and prior year results at a constant exchange rate, which is the prior year’s rate. Currency impact is determined as the difference between actual growth rates and constant currency growth rates.

The table below reconciles first quarter 2023 constant dollar net sales, gross profit and income from operations to our GAAP net sales, gross profit and income from operations.

MoonLake Immunotherapeutics Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results and Provides a Business Update

MoonLake Immunotherapeutics Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results and Provides a Business Update

  • Capital Markets Day held in April highlighted the differentiating features of sonelokimab and strong competitive position following competitor data in moderate-to-severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS)
  • Preparations are well underway for the announcement of top-line results from a Phase 2 trial of sonelokimab in moderate-to-severe HS around the end of June with final read-out of 24-week data by Q4 this year
  • Patient enrollment in a global Phase 2 trial in active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is on schedule with primary end-point readout expected in Q4 this year
  • Expected cash runway extended to the end of 2024

ZUG, Switzerland, May 12, 2023 – MoonLake Immunotherapeutics (NASDAQ:MLTX) (“MoonLake”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on creating next-level therapies for inflammatory diseases, today provided a business update, following the filing of its first quarter financial results on May 11.

MoonLake continues to make substantial progress with the clinical development of sonelokimab, which is currently being investigated in two Phase II clinical trials: the first, ‘MIRA’, in moderate-to-severe HS and the second, ‘ARGO’, in PsA. Sonelokimab has already been successfully assessed in a randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase 2b trial in 313 patients with moderate-to-severe plaque-type psoriasis in which it demonstrated a rapid and durable skin clearance (PASI100). Sonelokimab efficiently inhibits IL-17F in addition to IL-17A and therefore could represent a major improvement in treating inflammation in these dermatological and rheumatological diseases. The Nanobody’s® smaller size versus traditional antibodies and albumin-binding domain provide an opportunity for further efficacy.

Dr. Jorge Santos da Silva, Chief Executive Officer of MoonLake Immunotherapeutics, said:
“2023 has started off very strongly for MoonLake. Patient enrollment and randomization
were
completed ahead of schedule in our global Phase 2 trial of sonelokimab in moderate-to-severe HS and we are now anticipating announcement of the top-line results next month. We were delighted to reflect on the pivotal design of the trial and the baseline characteristics of enrolled patients in our Capital Markets Day in April together with Professor Kenneth B. Gordon, Chair of Dermatology at the Medical College of Wisconsin, and believe that our study is most comparable to the Phase 3 trials of competitors. Based on sonelokimab’s mechanism of action and unique characteristics, we are confident that we can ‘meet or beat’ the best results shown in such trials, which would translate into a greater than 20 percentage point delta on HiSCR 75 compared to placebo and represent a meaningful difference to the lives of patients with HS, an estimated $10bn market opportunity in the U
nited
S
tates
alone. Patient enrollment in our second global Phase 2 trial, in active PsA, is progressing well with primary end-point readout expected in Q4 of this year.”

Q1 highlights (including post-period end)

  • Patient enrollment and randomization completed ahead of schedule in a global Phase 2 trial of sonelokimab in moderate-to-severe HS (MIRA). This is the first global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial using Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR) 75, a higher measure of clinical response, as its primary endpoint with top-line results anticipated next month.
  • Capital Markets Day hosted in New York on April 19th featured a series of presentations from MoonLake’s executive team who provided a financial update and look to the year ahead at near-term catalysts and the Company’s publication roadmap. The event program highlighted key features of sonelokimab and included a clinical trial progress update. The program also referenced the release of important competitor data at the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting in March. In addition, external speaker Professor Kenneth B. Gordon, Chair of Dermatology at the Medical College of Wisconsin, provided an update on the treatment landscape and pipeline, reflecting on data and key takeaways from AAD.
  • Collaboration agreement signed with SHL Medical, a world-leading provider of advanced drug delivery solutions, to develop an autoinjector for clinical and potential subsequent commercial supply of MoonLake’s Nanobody® sonelokimab.

First quarter 2023 financial results

As of March 31, 2023, MoonLake held cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable debt securities of $63.1 million, compared to $72.1 million as of December 31, 2022, corresponding to a cash burn of $9.1 million1 in the first quarter.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, were $7.4 million, compared to $11.4 million in the previous quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a milestone expense under MoonLake’s in-license agreement of sonelokimab that was recognized in the previous quarter. General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 were $5.5 million, compared to $5.3 million in the previous quarter.

Matthias Bodenstedt, Chief Financial Officer at MoonLake Immunotherapeutics, said:
“MoonLake is in a very solid financial position
with a strong balance sheet. As a result of careful financial management, planning and operating efficiently, we have extended our
expected
cash runway to the end of 2024 which is 18 months beyond our upcoming readout in HS. This robust cash position also covers our other mid-stage PsA clinical readout, as well as the ongoing preparations for our Phase 3 programs, and thereby gives us a lot of financial flexibility and optionality. We have a unique asset in sonelokimab, which
we expect to
soon be Phase 3 ready in three multi-billion dollar indications.”

About MoonLake Immunotherapeutics

MoonLake Immunotherapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company unlocking the potential of sonelokimab, a novel investigational Nanobody® for the treatment of inflammatory disease, to revolutionize outcomes for patients. Sonelokimab inhibits IL-17A and IL-17F by inhibiting the IL-17A/A, IL-17A/F, and IL-17F/F dimers that drive inflammation. The company’s focus is on inflammatory diseases with a major unmet need, including hidradenitis suppurativa and psoriatic arthritis – conditions affecting millions of people worldwide with a large need for improved treatment options. MoonLake was founded in 2021 and is headquartered in Zug, Switzerland. Further information is available on www.moonlaketx.com.

About Nanobodies

®

Nanobodies® represent a new generation of antibody-derived targeted therapies. They consist of one or more domains based on the small antigen-binding variable regions of heavy-chain-only antibodies (VHH). Nanobodies® have a number of potential advantages over traditional antibodies, including their small size, enhanced tissue penetration, resistance to temperature changes, ease of manufacturing, and the ability to design multivalent therapeutic molecules with bespoke target combinations.

About Sonelokimab

Sonelokimab (M1095) is an investigational ~40 kDa humanized Nanobody® consisting of three VHH domains covalently linked by flexible glycine-serine spacers. With two domains, sonelokimab selectively binds with high affinity to IL-17A and IL-17F, thereby inhibiting the IL-17A/A, IL-17A/F, and IL-17F/F dimers. A third central domain binds to human albumin, facilitating further enrichment of sonelokimab at sites of inflammatory edema.

Sonelokimab has been assessed in a randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2b study in 313 patients with moderate-to-severe plaque-type psoriasis. Sonelokimab demonstrated a rapid and durable clinical response (Investigator’s Global Assessment Score 0 or 1, Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 90/100) in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque-type psoriasis. Sonelokimab was generally well tolerated, with a safety profile similar to the active control, secukinumab (Papp KA, et al. Lancet. 2021; 397:1564-1575).

In an earlier Phase 1 study in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque-type psoriasis, sonelokimab has been shown to decrease (to normal skin levels) the cutaneous gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines (Svecova D. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2019;81:196–203). Recently, a global phase 2 trial in psoriatic arthritis (NCT05640245, M1095-PSA-201, “ARGO”) including multiple arms and over 200 patients has been initiated (announced on Dec 14, 2022).

Sonelokimab is not yet approved for use in any indication.

About the MIRA trial

The MIRA trial (M1095-HS-201) is a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Nanobody® sonelokimab, administered subcutaneously, in the treatment of adult patients with active moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa. The trial will comprise over 200 patients, and will evaluate two different doses of sonelokimab, with placebo control and adalimumab as an active control reference arm. The primary endpoint of the trial is the percentage of participants achieving Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response 75 (HiSCR75), defined as a ≥75% reduction in total abscess and inflammatory nodule (AN) count with no increase in abscess or draining tunnel count relative to baseline. The trial will also evaluate a number of secondary endpoints, including the proportion of patients achieving HiSCR50, the change from baseline in International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Score System (IHS4), the proportion of patients achieving a Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) total score of ≤5, and the proportion of patients achieving at least 30% reduction from baseline in Numerical Rating Scale (NRS30) in the Patient’s Global Assessment of Skin Pain (PGA Skin Pain). Further details are available on: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05322473

About the ARGO trial

The ARGO trial (M1095-PSA-201) is a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the sonelokimab, administered subcutaneously, in the treatment of adult patients with active PsA. The trial is expected to comprise of approximately 200 patients, and is designed to evaluate different doses of sonelokimab, with placebo control and adalimumab as an active reference arm. The primary endpoint of the trial is the percentage of participants achieving ≥50% improvement in signs and symptoms of disease from baseline, compared to placebo, as measured by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 50 response. The trial will also evaluate a number of secondary endpoints, including improvement compared to placebo in ACR70, complete skin clearance as measured by at least a 100% improvement in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, physical function as measured by the Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index, enthesitis as measured by the Leeds Enthesitis Index and pain as measured by the Patients Assessment of Arthritis Pain. Further details are available on: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05640245

AgileThought Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Continued Progress Towards Long-Term Goals

IRVING, Texas, May 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AgileThought, Inc. (“AgileThought” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AGIL), a global provider of digital transformation services, custom software development, and next generation technologies, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

First
Quarter
2023
Highlights and Results:

  • Revenue was $41.8 million, down 5.4% year over year from $44.2 million in Q1 2022 and down 2.8% sequentially from $43.1 million in Q4 2022, as the company continues to exit non-core revenues, and also witnessed some market volatility since mid-March.
  • Gross margin of 34.2% increased 290 bps year-over-year from 31.3% in Q1 2022, and increased 260 bps sequentially from 31.6% in Q4 2022. This implies a gross profit increase of 3.4% from Q1 2022 and a 5.2% increase from Q4 2022.
  • Four new clients added during the quarter.

“I am proud of our first quarter achievements. While the revenues in the quarter were below our guidance, impacted by the recent market volatility, we took strides in building our pipeline and feel strongly about the second half of this year. We continued our exit from non-core revenues, and small non-strategic accounts, which helped us perform better than expected on gross margin and is expected to help us towards revenue growth and improved gross margin. We look forward to continuing to enhance relationships with new and current clients by staying at the forefront of transformational technologies. Recently, we launched two new guilds: Applied AI and Gaming and appointed Eric Purdum as our new CRO. All these changes are key to position AgileThought as the market leader,” commented AgileThought Chief Executive Officer Manuel Senderos.

“Our continued exit from non-core revenues and small non-strategic accounts, along with our robust deal governance structure, helped us grow our gross margin and is expected to help us improve our SGA in the coming quarters. Together, this gives us confidence in achieving strong Adjusted Operating Income this year, and improving Adjusted Operating margin levels in the not too distant future. While the recent market volatility impacts our revenue projection for the full year, our improvements in gross margin and SGA are expected to help us achieve better Adjusted Operating Income for the full year than we previously expected,” commented AgileThought Chief Financial Officer Amit Singh.

Full Year
2023
Outlook

The table below summarizes AgileThought’s financial outlook for the full year of 20231.

  • Revenues for the full year 2023 of at least $185.0 million, implying at least 4.6% year over year growth
  • Gross margin for the full year 2023 in 34.5% to 35.5% range
  • Adjusted Operating Income for the full year of at least $13.7 million, implying at least 20.2% year over year growth
  • Our outlook reflects the Company’s ongoing exit from non-core business and small non-strategic accounts.

The above outlook is dependent on the availability to us of sufficient liquidity and capital resources. We are in default with respect to our principal financing arrangements and there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As of April 30, 2023, we had available cash of $1.8 million. We are evaluating strategies to obtain the required additional funding for future operations , which strategies may include, but are not limited to, seeking private equity financing, restructuring our debt, seeking for strategic merger and acquisition alternatives, and restructuring operations to increase revenues and decrease expenses.

The Company is not able, at this time, to provide GAAP targets for operating income for the second quarter of 2023 because of the difficulty of estimating certain items excluded from Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Income that cannot be reasonably predicted, such as the change in fair value of embedded derivative, plus the change in fair value of warrant liability, plus equity-based compensation expense, plus impairment charges, plus restructuring expenses, plus (gain) loss on business dispositions, plus loss on debt extinguishment, plus intangible assets amortization, plus certain transaction costs and certain other operating expense, net.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial data presented on a basis consistent with U.S. GAAP, we present certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Operating (Loss) Income, Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Diluted EPS. We have included the non-GAAP financial measures because they are financial measures used by our management to evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments and are among the factors analyzed in making performance-based compensation decisions for key personnel. The measures exclude certain expenses that are required under U.S. GAAP. We exclude certain non-cash expenses and certain items that are not part of our core operations.

We believe these supplemental performance measurements are useful in evaluating operating performance, as they are similar to measures reported by our public industry peers and those regularly used by security analysts, investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. The non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measures and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry.

There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, these measures may differ from the non-GAAP information, even where similarly titled, used by other companies and therefore should not be used to compare our performance to that of other companies. We compensate for these limitations by providing investors and other users of our financial information a reconciliation of our non-GAAP measures to the related GAAP financial measure. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view our non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures.

We define and calculate our non-GAAP financial measures as follows:


  • Adjusted Operating (Loss) Income
    : Loss from operations adjusted to exclude the change in fair value of embedded derivative, plus the change in fair value of warrant liability, plus equity-based compensation expense, plus impairment charges, plus restructuring expenses, plus (gain) loss on business dispositions, plus loss on debt extinguishment, plus intangible assets amortization, plus certain transaction costs and certain other operating expense, net.

  • Adjusted Net Loss
    : Net loss adjusted to exclude the change in fair value of embedded derivative, plus the change in fair value of warrant liability, plus equity-based compensation expense, plus impairment charges, plus restructuring expenses, plus (gain) loss on business dispositions, plus foreign exchange loss (gain), plus loss (gain) on debt extinguishment and debt forgiveness, plus intangible assets amortization, plus certain transaction costs, plus paid in kind interest and amortization of debt issuance cost and certain other expense, net.

  • Adjusted Diluted EPS
    : Adjusted Net loss, divided by the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
