Qumu Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2016 Results


Qumu Corporation (NASDAQ: QUMU) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2016.

Fourth quarter revenue was $9.3 million, compared to $10.1 million in the fourth quarter 2015; and net loss was $(0.3) million, or a loss of $(0.04) per diluted share, compared to $(4.6) million, or a loss of $(0.50) per diluted share, in the fourth quarter 2015. Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was income of $0.8 million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(3.7) million for the fourth quarter 2015. Fourth quarter 2015 operating loss and adjusted EBITDA included severance expense of $743,000 and a loss on a third-party license agreement of $1.2 million.

For the full year 2016, revenue was $31.7 million, compared to $34.5 million last year; and net loss was $(11.2) million, or a loss of $(1.23) per diluted share, compared to $(28.7) million, or a loss of $(3.11) per diluted share, last year. For the full year 2016, adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $(6.6) million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(24.5) million last year. Full year 2016 included severance expense of $563,000. Full year 2015 included severance expense of $2.1 million, a loss on a third-party license agreement of $1.2 million and equipment operating lease loss of $1.0 million.

"2016 was a pivotal year for Qumu and our fourth quarter illustrates our strong progress in several key areas. We continued to demonstrate that we are the only vendor with a full suite of video enterprise solutions as we gained significant ground in our transformation from a perpetual software licensing model to a higher-value, SaaS model. We also drove record gross margins and adjusted EBITDA and bolstered our blue-chip customer list with several high-value enterprise wins within new Fortune 500 organizations," said Vern Hanzlik, Qumu's president and CEO.

"Additionally, we achieved nearly $20 million of expense reductions year over year, while maintaining over a 90% customer renewal rate, a strong customer satisfaction metric . Early adopting enterprise clients are beginning to migrate toward cloud-based solutions, but we have also seen continued demand for our best-in-class, behind the firewall, on-premise video solution. During 2016, 70% of revenue came from our blue-chip on-premise customer base and 30% came from new SaaS customers. We are in a strong position with enterprise customers whether they seek a highly secure on-premise solution or a more flexible SaaS solution. We are confident that this trend will continue as we move into 2017."

Other Financial Highlights

  • Subscription, maintenance and support revenue for the fourth quarter 2016 was $6.2 million compared to $5.2 million for the fourth quarter 2015, and for the full year 2016 was $21.4 million compared to $18.8 million last year. Fourth quarter 2016 revenue included subscription, maintenance and support revenue of $1.2 million and professional service revenue of $0.4 million of previously deferred revenue contingent on a customer's acceptance, which was received in the fourth quarter. Going forward, subscription, maintenance and support revenue relating to this customer is expected to be $300,000 annually.
  • Gross margin for the fourth quarter 2016 was 70.7% compared to 56.9% for the fourth quarter 2015, and for the full year 2016 was 61.0% compared to 49.2% last year. The benefit to gross margin relating to the previously noted customer acceptance was 6.1% and 1.8% for the fourth quarter and full year 2016, respectively.
  • Total headcount was 150 as of December 31, 2016 compared to 192 as of December 31, 2015.
  • Cash and marketable securities were $10.4 million as of December 31, 2016, compared to $4.6 million as of September 30, 2016, reflecting the fourth quarter operating loss, the impact on cash from changes in working capital and the term loan net proceeds of $7.5 million received in the fourth quarter.

Guidance
For the first quarter 2017, revenue is expected to be in the range of $7.0 million to $8.0 million. Total gross margin percentage is expected to be in the low 60s in the first quarter. First quarter net loss is expected to be in the range of $(3.6) million to $(3.1) million, or $(0.39) to $(0.34) per diluted share, with weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 9.25 million shares. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter 2017 is expected to be in the range of a loss of $(2.2) million to $(1.7) million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(3.0) million in the first quarter 2016.

For the full year 2017, revenue is expected to be in the range of $31.0 million to $34.0 million as the Company continues to grow its recurring revenue base. Total gross margin percentage is expected to improve from the low 60s early in the year to the high 60s late in the year. Net loss is expected to be in the range of $(10.5) million to $(9.0) million, or $(1.12) to $(0.97) per diluted share, with weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 9.3 million shares. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2017 is expected to be in the range of a loss of $(5.0) million to $(3.5) 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. Additionally, the Company expects that it will be cash flow breakeven for the second half of 2017.

The dial-in number for the conference call is 877-456-6914 for domestic participants and 929-387-3794 for international participants.

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, other non-operating income and expenses, and net income (loss) from discontinued operations.

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 months and year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
