“We are out of the gates strong as we begin our fiscal 2020,” said Bill Stone, CEO.  “We have a lot of momentum, as not only did our results for the fiscal first quarter comfortably exceed our internal expectations driven largely by stronger revenue-per-device (“RPD”) metrics during the latter half of the quarter, but we also made significant operational progress with valuable new partners and strategic platform initiatives that should help propel our growth in future quarters and years. We managed to accelerate our year-over-year revenue growth to 38% and our Non-GAAP gross profit growth to 78% in the June quarter, as compared to 30% revenue growth and 50% Non-GAAP gross profit growth in the preceding March quarter. This strong top-line momentum, along with continuing operating leverage, led to the generation of $4.2 million in Adjusted EBITDA and $4.3 million in free cash flow during the quarter, which in turn helped us further bolster a balance sheet that comprised of more than $16 million in cash and zero debt as of quarter-end.”


Mr. Stone concluded, “I remain highly encouraged by the inherent momentum of our increasingly differentiated platform offering and the deep collaboration shown by our valued operator and OEM partners. While I am certainly proud of our strong financial results, our focus remains single-mindedly on effectively positioning and scaling the platform to ensure future success for our business and that of our partners. We are continuing to aggressively recruit additional carriers and OEMs to further expand our scale and global footprint. At the same time, we are continuing to work collaboratively with existing partners and advertiser clients to develop innovative new platform features designed to drive added monetization via higher levels of conversion and engagement for advertisers and end users alike. I look forward to providing real-time updates on our progress toward these core objectives as fiscal 2020 matures.”

 

 

Fiscal First Quarter Financial Results

 

Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was $30.6 million, representing an increase of 38% year-over-year. Revenue growth was primarily driven by higher revenue-per-device with our large U.S.-based carrier partners, reflecting strong advertiser demand for Dynamic Installs as well as incremental contributions from other, newer platform products.

 

GAAP gross margin was 39% for the first quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to a 29% GAAP gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Non-GAAP adjusted gross margin4 increased to 40% for the first quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to 31% for the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

 

Net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was $1.7 million, or ($0.02) per share, as compared to a net income from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 of $1.5 million, or $0.02 per share. Non-GAAP adjusted net income1 for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was $4.2 million, or $0.05 per share, as compared to a Non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $0.6 million, or ($0.01) per share, during the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

 

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA2 was $4.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $0.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The reconciliation between GAAP and Non-GAAP financial results for all referenced periods is provided in a table immediately following the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows below.

Business Outlook

 

Based on information available as of August 5, 2019, the Company expects second quarter fiscal 2020 revenue of between $31 million and $32 million, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA2 of between $3.2 million and $3.7 million. It is not reasonably practicable to provide a business outlook for GAAP net income from continuing operations because the Company cannot reasonably estimate the changes in the fair value of derivatives associated with outstanding warrants issued in connection with the September 2016 convertible notes offering, which are directly impacted by changes in the Company’s stock price.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), Digital Turbine uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP adjusted gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP free cash flow. Reconciliations to the nearest GAAP measures of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the tables below.

Non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance, prospects for the future and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these Non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain expenses and benefits that may not be indicative of recurring core business operating results. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures that exclude such items when viewed in conjunction with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations enhance the comparability of results against prior periods and allow for greater transparency of financial results. The Company believes Non-GAAP measures facilitate management's internal comparison of its financial performance to that of prior periods as well as trend analysis for budgeting and planning purposes. The presentation of Non-GAAP measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

 

1Non-GAAP adjusted net income/(loss) and EPS are defined as GAAP net income/(loss) and EPS adjusted to exclude the effect of stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, severance, changes in the fair value of derivatives associated with warrants issued in connection with the September 2016 convertible notes offering, and loss on extinguishment of debt. Readers are cautioned that Non-GAAP adjusted net income/(loss) and EPS should not be construed as an alternative to comparable GAAP net income figures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as an indicator of profitability or performance, which is the most comparable measure under GAAP.

 

2Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is calculated as GAAP net income/(loss) excluding the following cash and non-cash expenses: interest expense, foreign exchange transaction loss/(gain), income tax provision/(benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, severance, the change in fair value of derivatives associated with warrants issued in connection with the September 2016 convertible notes offering, other income / (expense), and a loss on extinguishment of debt. Readers are cautioned that Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income / (loss) determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as an indicator of performance, which is the most comparable measure under GAAP.

 

3Non-GAAP free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net cash provided by operating activities (as stated in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows) reduced by capital expenditures. Readers are cautioned that free cash flow should not be construed as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as an indicator of profitability, performance or liquidity, which is the most comparable measure under GAAP.

 

4Non-GAAP adjusted gross profit and gross margin are defined as GAAP gross profit and gross margin adjusted to exclude the effect of intangible amortization expense and depreciation of software. Readers are cautioned that Non-GAAP adjusted gross profit and gross margin should not be construed as an alternative to gross margin determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as an indicator of profitability or performance, which is the most comparable measure under GAAP.

Non-GAAP adjusted gross profit and gross margin, Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP adjusted net income / (loss) and EPS, and Non-GAAP free cash flow are used by management as internal measures of profitability, performance and liquidity. They have been included because the Company believes that the measures are used by certain investors to assess the Company’s financial performance before non-cash charges and certain costs that the Company does not believe are reflective of its underlying business.
