Innodata Reports First Quarter 2017 Results

 

NEW YORK – May 8, 2017 – INNODATA INC. (NASDAQ: INOD) today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.

 

·

Total revenue was $15.0 million in the first quarter of 2017, a 5% decline from $15.7 million in both the first and fourth quarters of 2016.

 

·

Net loss was $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2017, or $(0.07) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, or $(0.04) per diluted share. Net earnings in the first quarter of 2016 was $3,000, or $0.00 per diluted share.

 

·

Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) was a loss of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to income of $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 and $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2016.

 

·

Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $14.2 million at both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

 

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

  

Jack Abuhoff, Chairman and CEO, said, “First quarter revenue - while in line with the mid-point of our guidance - declined by $0.7 million from the fourth quarter. This resulted in an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $160,000 due to high operating leverage. Revenue in our Digital Data Solutions (DDS) segment was $11.4 million compared to $11.7 million in the fourth quarter, as volumes from new customer engagements were not sufficient to offset the lower volumes from several existing customer engagements. In our Innodata Advanced Data Solutions (IADS) segment, a combination of seasonality and the expiration of a contract in the Synodex business translated into lower segmental revenue of $1.0 million compared to $1.25 million in the fourth quarter.

 

Abuhoff continued, “In our DDS segment we’re focused on new service offerings that will help us win new recurring revenue business and expand our addressable market. In Synodex, we remain actively engaged with several late-stage prospects and continue to work on cost efficiencies to lower our break-even point.

 

“Our Media Intelligence Solutions (MIS) segment performed in accordance with our expectations. Revenue in the first quarter was $2.6 million, with 55% gross margins before acquisition related amortization charges and 7% Adjusted EBITDA. In the first quarter we launched an API for our Agility global media database, and we continue to sign up channel partners to access new markets.”

 

Abuhoff concluded, “We anticipate second quarter revenue to be in the range of $13.4 – 15.3 million, consisting of DDS revenue in the range of $10.0 – 11.5 million, IADS revenue in the range of $1.0 – 1.2 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 income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA is attached to this release.
