Upland Software Reports Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

AUSTIN, Texas, August 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Upland Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: UPLD), a leader in cloud-based Enterprise Work Management software, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017, provided guidance for its third quarter, and reaffirmed guidance for the full year of 2017.
Second Quarter 2017 Financial Highlights
Total revenue was $23.3 million, an increase of 25% from $18.6 million in the second quarter of 2016.
Subscription and support revenue was $19.4 million, an increase of 20% from $16.2 million in the second quarter of 2016.
GAAP net loss was $5.8 million compared to a net loss of $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA was $6.8 million, an increase of 145% from $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2016. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided in the financial tables that accompany this release.
Cash on hand as of the end of the second quarter was $57.4 million.
Total of $242.7 million in financing closed to fund additional, accretive acquisitions, including a $42.7 million follow-on equity offering in June and an expansion of our credit facility to $200 million on August 2nd.

"Q2 was another record quarter with strong revenue growth, record Adjusted EBITDA, and an accretive and strategic acquisition, RightAnswers, which is already off to a strong start," said Jack McDonald, chairman and CEO of Upland Software. “Moreover, since the beginning of Q2, to date we have closed over $240 million in equity and debt financing to fund future acquisitions. Our Q3 and full-year guidance is strong with another accretive and strategic acquisition, Waterfall, already completed."

Second Quarter Business Highlights
Expanded 153 existing customer relationships, including 17 major expansions, and added 116 new customer relationships, including 11 major accounts.
Continued to focus on customer-driven innovation with 3 major feature releases, including enhanced connectivity via the Upland Integration Platform between our Project & Portfolio Management and Professional Services Automation solutions and user experience updates in our Project & Portfolio Management solution; integration between our FileBound and AccuRoute solutions in our Workflow Automation product family; and a ground-up redesign encompassing the UplandOne UI/UX in our website analytics application and additional emoji & export capabilities in our Upland Mobile Messaging platform.
Invested in our ComSci ITFM application to build a new cross-product platform called Upland Analytics, expanding ComSci's robust dashboarding, multidimensional reporting, analytics, and charting features to create a seamless user experience across all Upland applications and service offerings as well as scalable connectivity through the Upland Integration Platform.
Enhanced our Project and IT Management product family by acquiring RightAnswers, a leader in cloud-based knowledge management, enterprise knowledge search, and social knowledge software for improving customer service, IT support, and enterprise-wide collaboration.
After the close of the second quarter, on July 13th, further expanded our Digital Engagement product family by acquiring Waterfall International, a leading provider of mobile marketing SaaS and solutions that allows brands to build their existing customer database and drive top-line revenue with targeted, relevant mobile content. Waterfall has been combined with Upland's scalable and secure Mobile Commons mobile messaging solution to create the industry's most powerful application-to-





person mobile messaging platform. The combined products are now called Upland Mobile Messaging.

Business Outlook
For the quarter ending September 30, 2017, Upland expects reported total revenue to be in the range of $24.7 to $25.7 million including subscription and support revenue in the range of $22.2 to $23.0 million, for growth in recurring revenue of 33% at the mid-point over the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

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) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share.
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.
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, loss on debt extinguishment, provision for income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, non-recurring litigation costs, and purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue.
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, nonrecurring litigation expenses, purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue, and the related tax effect of the adjustments above.
Annualized recurring revenue value as of December 31 equals the monthly value of our recurring revenue contracts measured as of December 31 multiplied by 12. We define annual dollar renewal rate (also referred to as net dollar retention rate) as of December 31 as the aggregate annualized recurring revenue value at December 31 from those customers that were also customers as of December 31 of the prior fiscal year, divided by the aggregate annualized recurring revenue value from all customers as of December 31 of the prior fiscal year.
Upland’s earnings press releases containing such non-GAAP reconciliations can be found on the Investor Relations section of Upland’s website at investor.uplandsoftware.com.

Additional information will also be set forth in Upland's future quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, annual reports on Form 10-K and other filings that Upland makes with the SEC.
