Upland Software Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Company Beats Q1 Guidance and Reaffirms Full Year 2023 Guidance

Upland Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: UPLD), a leader in cloud-based tools for digital transformation, today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter 2023 and issued guidance for its second quarter and full year of 2023.

First Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

  • Total revenue was $77.1 million, a decrease of 2% from $78.7 million in the first quarter of 2022. Total revenue growth includes a negative impact of 2% from changes in foreign currency exchange rates ("FX"). Without FX, total revenue growth would have been flat.
  • Subscription and support revenue was $72.9 million, a decrease of 1% from $73.6 million in the first quarter of 2022. Subscription and support revenue growth includes a negative impact of 2% from FX. Without FX, subscription and support revenue growth would have been 1%.
  • GAAP net loss was $140.0 million compared to a GAAP net loss of $22.8 million in the first quarter of 2022. GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders was $141.4 million compared to GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders of $22.8 million in the first quarter of 2022. GAAP net loss per share attributable to common stockholders was $4.38 per share, compared to a GAAP net loss per share attributable to common stockholders of $0.73 per share in the first quarter of 2022. This quarter-over-quarter increase in quarterly GAAP net loss is primarily attributable to a $128.8 million non-cash Goodwill impairment charge.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $17.6 million, or 23% of total revenue, compared to $23.4 million, or 30% of total revenue, in the first quarter of 2022.
  • GAAP operating cash flow was $15.8 million, compared to GAAP operating cash flow of $8.2 million in the first quarter of 2022. Free cash flow was $15.6 million, compared to free cash flow of $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2022.
  • Cash on hand as of the end of the first quarter of 2023 was $257.7 million.

"In Q1, we beat our revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance midpoints, even after FX headwinds and free cash flow came in stronger than expected," said Jack McDonald, Upland's chairman and chief executive officer. "We also added 20 new major customers and announced a host of new product innovations," he added. "It's still early, but we are making progress on our new growth plan and remain focused on building shareholder value over time.”

First Quarter Business Highlights

  • We expanded relationships with 333 existing customers, 38 of which were major expansions. We also welcomed 207 new customers to Upland in the first quarter, including 20 new major customers.
  • We hosted a webinar featuring Forrester to discuss the future of knowledge management and the beta release of Upland’s AI Knowledge Assistant, currently available to RightAnswers customers. With Upland’s new AI Knowledge Assistant, which utilizes OpenAI's ChatGPT API, knowledge workers can streamline the creation of knowledge by simply requesting content related to their topic at hand and receiving a real-time response with full article content, summarization, and identification of key words.
  • FileBound was one once again recognized as a gold medalist and leader in the Enterprise Content Management Data Quadrant Report from SoftwareReviews for document management and workflow automation capabilities.
  • AccuRoute’s latest release extends MFP integrations with Lexmark, increases DMS visibility, and expands fax API support to ensure the security of Personally Identifiable Information in highly-regulated industries, such as healthcare.
  • BA Insight was recognized by KMWorld's 2023 list of 100 companies that matter in knowledge management.

Business Outlook

The guidance below reflects the significant incremental sales, marketing and product investments that Upland is making as part of its comprehensive growth plan.

For the quarter ending June 30, 2023, Upland expects reported total revenue to be between $69.8 and $75.8 million, including subscription and support revenue between $65.7 and $70.7 million, for a decline in total revenue of 9% at the mid-point over the quarter-ended June 30, 2022. Second quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $15.0 and $18.0 million, for an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 23% at the mid-point. This Adjusted EBITDA guide at the mid-point is a decrease of 33% from the quarter-ended June 30, 2022.

For the full year ending December 31, 2023, Upland expects reported total revenue to be between $288.0 and $312.0 million, including subscription and support revenue between $269.0 and $289.0 million, for a decline in total revenue of 5% at the mid-point over the year ended December 31, 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share and free cash flow.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses and expenditures that may not be indicative of our recurring core business operating results, such as our revenues excluding the impact for foreign currency fluctuations or our operating performance excluding not only non-cash charges, but also discrete cash charges that are infrequent in nature. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity as well as comparisons to our competitors' operating results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and they are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see the tables provided below in this release.

We are unable to reconcile any forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their directly comparable GAAP financial measures because the information which is needed to complete a reconciliation is unavailable at this time without unreasonable effort. Additionally, we are unable to quantify the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations on components of our income statement beyond revenues because the information which is needed to do so is unavailable at this time without unreasonable effort.

Upland defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus net income (loss) from discontinued operations, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, net, other expense (income), net, provision for income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, non-recurring litigation costs, purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue and impairment of goodwill.

Upland defines non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus, amortization of purchased intangible assets, amortization of debt discount, loss on debt extinguishment, stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related expenses, non-recurring litigation expenses, purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue, non-recurring provision for income tax, impairment of goodwill and the related tax effect of the adjustments above.

Upland defines free cash flow as GAAP operating cash flow less purchases of property and equipment.

Upland defines major accounts as accounts with greater than or equal to $25,000 in annual recurring revenue.

Upland defines major expansions as existing customers who expanded the amount of annual recurring revenue under their contract by at least $25,000.

Upland defines cash gross margin as product revenue less subscription and support cost of sales, excluding depreciation & amortization.
