Innodata Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2016 Results

 

NEW YORK – March 8, 2017 – INNODATA INC. (NASDAQ: INOD) today reported results for the fourth quarter and the 12 months ended December 31, 2016.

 

·

Total revenue was $15.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, a 2% sequential decrease from $16.1 million in the third quarter of 2016 and an approximately 1% increase from $15.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

·

Net loss was $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, or $(0.04) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2016, or $(0.11) per diluted share. Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $0.6 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share.

 

·

Total revenue for the 12 months ended December 31, 2016 was $63.1 million, an 8% increase from $58.5 million in 2015. Net loss for the 12 months ended December 31, 2016 was $5.5 million, or $(0.22) per diluted share. Net loss for the 12 months ended December 31, 2015 was $2.8 million, or $(0.11) per diluted share.

 

·

The net loss for 2016 was impacted by $3.2 million in one-time costs and charges, consisting of $1.6 million in costs for a now completed internal investigation that was previously reported, a $1.0 million charge for an amendment to potential supplemental purchase price payments under the MediaMiser share purchase agreement that was also previously reported, and $600,000 of costs in connection with the acquisition of Agility and its reorganization and integration. Revenue for 2016 was benefited by $240,000 of one-time revenue related to the acquisition of Agility. The net loss for the fourth quarter was impacted by $150,000 of these one-time costs and charges.

 

·

The net loss for 2016 was also impacted by the deferral in the third quarter of $150,000 of revenue from one client that will be accounted for on a cash basis. In addition, the net loss for 2016 and the fourth quarter was impacted by the deferral of $600,000 of additional revenue from this client that will be accounted for on a cash basis and by a $150,000 allowance for accounts receivable from the client.

 

·

Adjusted EBITDA as defined below was $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $(0.4) million in the third quarter of 2016 and $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA for the 12 months ended December 31, 2016 was $0.7 million, a decrease of $1.2 million from $1.9 million for the same period in 2015.

 

·

Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $14.2 million at December 31, 2016 compared to $17.3 million at September 30, 2016.

 

The tables that accompany this release set out results by segment.

 

Jack Abuhoff, Chairman and CEO, said, “In 2016 our entire 8% revenue growth of $4.6 million was driven by our Innodata Advanced Data Solutions (IADS) and Media Intelligence Solutions (MIS) segments. Our data driven products from these businesses are part of our clients’ workflows, resulting in more predictable revenue. Our Digital Data Solutions segment (DDS) experienced a decline in revenue in 2016, primarily on account of a decline in revenue from our key eBook client and price concessions and reduced volume from another key client. Revenue from eBooks accounted for 11% of $50.6 million in total DDS revenue for the year, and 6% of $11.7 million in total DDS revenue for Q4. We partially offset this decline with DDS revenue from projects that rely on advanced technologies in data extraction and machine learning and from projects that require foreign language capabilities.”

 

Abuhoff continued, “Looking ahead we are focused on growing our recurring revenue base in IADS and MIS, and winning business in DDS that leverages our capabilities in data extraction, machine learning and data enrichment. On account of high operating leverage, our IADS and MIS businesses have the potential to translate significant portions of incremental revenue into EBITDA.”

 

 

Abuhoff concluded, “We anticipate revenue in the first quarter of 2017 to be in the range of $14.3 – 15.7 million, consisting of DDS revenue in the range of $11.0 – 12.0 million, IADS revenue in the range of $0.9 – 1.1 million and MIS revenue in the range of $2.4 – 2.6 million”.

 

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This press release and the accompanying tables include references to Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Innodata Inc. and subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP before income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, stock-based compensation, loss attributable to non-controlling interests and interest income (expense). We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to our management and investors in evaluating our operating performance and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. In particular, it facilitates comparisons of the core operating performance of our company from period to period on a consistent basis and helps us identify underlying trends in our business. We believe it provides useful information about our operating results, enhances the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in our financial and operational decision making. We use this measure to establish operational goals for managing our business and evaluating our performance. 

 

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

 

·

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments, and such payments reflect a reduction in cash available to us;

·

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs or for our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

·

Adjusted EBITDA excludes the potential dilutive impact of stock-based compensation expense related to our workforce, interest income (expense) and net loss attributable to non-controlling interests, and these items may represent a reduction or increase in cash available to us;

·

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; and

·

Other companies, including companies in our own industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

 

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income (loss) and our other GAAP results.

 

A reconciliation from net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is attached to this release.
