Qumu Announces Third Quarter 2017 Results

Year-over-year improved gross margins and operating results

Conference Call Wednesday, November 1 at 10:00 a.m. ET

Minneapolis, MN – October 31, 2017 – Qumu Corporation (NASDAQ: QUMU) today reported financial results for the third quarter 2017.

Third quarter revenue was $7.6 million, compared to $7.1 million in the third quarter 2016, and net loss was $(2.3) million, or a loss of $(0.25) per share, compared to $(2.5) million, or a loss of $(0.27) per share, in the third quarter 2016. Third quarter 2017 results included foreign currency losses of $(0.02) per share. Third quarter adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was a loss of $(0.9) million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(1.4) million for the third quarter 2016.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, revenue was $20.9 million, compared to $22.4 million last year, and net loss was $(8.5) million, or a loss of $(0.91) per share, compared to $(10.9) million, or a loss of $(1.18) per share, last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $(3.8) million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(7.4) million last year.

“This was a notable quarter for Qumu. We signed a large number of new customers as our Qx strategy, announced in May, gains momentum. Revenues were within guidance but were at the lower end of the range due to a contingent sale representing more than $600,000 which we expect to be recognized as revenue in the fourth quarter. Our growing number and variety of new blue-chip customers tells me that our Qx enterprise video platform is resonating within the Global 2000. These organizations know their future depends on an adaptive workforce with a high digital IQ. Video will permeate all facets of their business and they need an infrastructure with the flexibility to scale,” said Vern Hanzlik, Qumu’s president and CEO.

Qumu has also announced the appointment of Dave Ristow as Interim Chief Financial Officer, effective November 7, 2017. Ristow brings more than 20 years of experience in the CFO role, with leadership expertise in strategic planning, stakeholder relations, financial process design and corporate governance. He has worked with companies in various industries including software as a service, professional services and medical technology.

Other Financial Highlights


•	Subscription, maintenance and support revenue for the third quarter 2017 was $5.1 million compared to $5.0 million for the third quarter 2016. The variance in subscription, maintenance and support revenue primarily resulted from growth in the customer base, as well as the timing of customer renewals.


•	Gross margin for the third quarter 2017 was 61.6% compared to 59.8% for the third quarter 2016. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 62.8% compared to 56.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.


•	Total headcount was 120 as of September 30, 2017 compared to 119 as of June 30, 2017 and 152 as of September 30, 2016.


•	Cash and marketable securities were $7.7 million as of September 30, 2017, compared to $9.0 million as of June 30, 2017, reflecting the third quarter operating loss and the impact on cash from changes in working capital.

Guidance

For the fourth quarter 2017, revenue is expected to be in the range of $8.5 million to $9.5 million, compared to $9.3 million in the fourth quarter last year. Total gross margin percentage is expected to be in the mid to high 60s in the fourth quarter. Fourth quarter net loss is expected to be in the range of $(1.4) million to $(900,000), or $(0.15) to $(0.10) per diluted share, with weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 9.4 million shares. Adjusted

EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2017 is expected to be in the range of breakeven to income of $500,000, compared to adjusted EBITDA income of $790,000 in the fourth quarter 2016.

For the full year 2017, revenue is expected to be in the range of $29.4 million to $30.4 million. Total gross margin percentage is expected to improve from the low 60s early in the year to the mid 60s late in the year. Net loss is expected to be in the range of $(9.9) million to $(9.4) million, or $(1.05) to $(1.00) per diluted share, with weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 9.4 million shares. Adjusted EBITDA loss for the full year 2017 is expected to be in the range of a loss of $(3.8) million to $(3.3) million compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(6.6) million in fiscal 2016. The Company expects a tax benefit of $200,000 in fiscal 2017.

Term Loan

The Company has continued to experience recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company maintaining compliance with the covenants of its term loan credit agreement with HCP-FVD, LLC, an affiliate of Hale Capital Partners, LP, the administrative agent. If an event of default occurs due to the Company not maintaining compliance with the covenants, the lender may accelerate the repayment of outstanding principal or exercise its other rights as a secured lender, which would negatively impact the Company’s ability to fund its working capital requirements, capital expenditures and general corporate expenses. The Company likely will not comply at October 31, 2017 with the covenant requiring that cash and eligible accounts receivable be at least 118% of the outstanding obligations under the credit agreement. Outstanding obligations under the credit agreement were $8,000,000 at September 30, 2017 and October 31, 2017. The covenant shortfall is primarily due to provisions of the credit agreement requiring the exclusion of portions of certain large accounts receivable from eligible accounts receivable. These provisions resulted in $974,000 of accounts receivable from two Fortune 50 customers being excluded from eligible accounts receivable at October 31, 2017. Additionally, the Company is unable to project, with reasonable certainty, future compliance with this minimum cash and eligible accounts receivable covenant over the next twelve months. If an event of default occurred and the term loan were accelerated, the Company would be unable to fund full repayment of the term loan obligations from its existing cash and fund its other liquidity needs within the next twelve months. At September 30, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7,738,000 as compared to $8,000,000 in outstanding obligations relating to the term loan and a required $800,000 prepayment fee. The Company’s cash position as compared to the outstanding obligations of the credit agreement, the Company’s historical and expected cash flows from operating activities, and the likelihood of non-compliance with covenants indicate substantial doubt exists regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is continuing to negotiate with HCP-FVD, LLC and Hale Capital Partners, LP regarding the covenants and a potential amendment of or waiver to the credit agreement, receipt of which cannot be assured.

Conference Call

The Company has scheduled a conference call and webcast to review its third quarter 2017 results tomorrow, November 1, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The dial-in number for the conference call is 877-456-6914 for domestic participants and 929-387-3794 for international participants. Investors can also access a webcast of the live conference call by linking through the investor relations section of the Qumu website, www.qumu.com. Webcasts will be archived on Qumu’s website.

Non-GAAP Information

To supplement the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company uses adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure), which excludes certain items from net income (loss) (a GAAP measure). Adjusted EBITDA excludes items related to interest income and expense, the impact of income-based taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrant liability, foreign currency gains and losses, and other non-operating income and expenses.

The Company uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when planning, monitoring, and evaluating the Company’s performance. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides supplemental information that allows investors to review the Company's results of operations from the same perspective as management and the Company's board of directors. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding our operating results. The non-GAAP results should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

See the attached Supplemental Financial Information for a reconciliation of net loss, a GAAP measure, to adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
