Management Commentary
“Our first quarter results represent continued year-over-year momentum and consistency as we continue our shift towards a SaaS-based business model,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Peter D. Aquino. “With service revenues up 40% year-over-year, our focus on generating recurring revenue streams has proven effective, underscoring SeaChange's commitment to long-term growth and stability. We are well positioned for another profitable, debt-free year, allowing us to remain opportunistic in evaluating strategic alternative opportunities for the Company throughout the rest of fiscal 2024.”

President Chris Klimmer continued: “Operationally, we strengthened existing partnerships with key customers such as VIDAA and Fox Sports Mexico, while also successfully launching two new StreamVid customers in the Middle East and the United States. Looking ahead, we are highly encouraged by the prevailing tailwinds in the connected TV market and the ongoing consumer shift towards free ad-supported content. We have unwavering confidence in our ability to capitalize on these robust trends, which is further reinforced by our world-class software engineering team consisting of over 100 in-house employees.”

Chief Financial Officer Mark Szynkowski added: “Our ongoing efforts to reduce operating costs have yielded positive results, which is evident in our Q1 financial performance. Our balance sheet remains debt-free, with $15.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, which is up from $14.7 million in the prior quarter. As we continue to improve our operating costs and cash flow, building upon our third consecutive quarter of generating positive cash flow from operations, we remain confident in our ability to achieve profitability later this fiscal year.”

Non-GAAP Measures

We define non-GAAP income (loss) from operations as GAAP net loss plus stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, severance and restructuring costs, transaction costs, loss on impairment of goodwill, other expense, net, and income tax provision, and adjusted EBITDA as non-GAAP income (loss) from operations plus depreciation. We discuss non-GAAP loss from operations and adjusted EBITDA, including on a per share basis, in our quarterly earnings releases and certain other communications, as we believe non-GAAP operating loss from operations and adjusted EBITDA are important measures that are not calculated according to GAAP. We use non-GAAP loss from operations and adjusted EBITDA in internal forecasts and models when establishing internal operating budgets, supplementing the financial results and forecasts reported to our Board of Directors, determining a component of bonus compensation for executive officers and other key employees based on operating performance, and evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends in our operations. We believe that the non-GAAP loss from operations and adjusted EBITDA financial measures assist in providing an enhanced understanding of our underlying operational measures to manage the business, to evaluate performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals. We believe that the non-GAAP financial adjustments are useful to investors because they allow investors to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in our financial and operational decision-making.

Non-GAAP loss from operations and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. We expect to continue to incur expenses similar to the financial adjustments described above in arriving at non-GAAP loss from operations and adjusted EBITDA and investors should not infer from our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. The following table includes the reconciliations of our GAAP loss from operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to our non-GAAP loss from operations and adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and 2022.
