Introduction of Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) guidance for Q1 and FY 2023

BURLINGTON, Mass., March 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avid^® (NASDAQ: AVID), a leading technology provider that powers the media and entertainment industry, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

As reported, fourth quarter revenue was $116.1 million, a decrease of (2.5%) year-over-year, net income was $25.3 million, an increase of 66.0% year-over-year, Adjusted EBITDA was $24.8 million, a decrease of (0.6%) year-over-year, net income per common share was $0.57, an increase of $0.24 year-over-year, and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share was $0.45, a decrease of ($0.01) year-over year. Revenue was in the middle of our implied Q4 guidance range, Adjusted EBITDA was below our implied Q4 guidance range and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share was within our implied Q4 guidance range.

During the fourth quarter, we recorded a one-time, non-cash adjustment to revenue of ($3.3 million) related to a corrective change in methodology for calculating standalone selling price for subscription term-based licenses in the amount of $0.1 million for FY 2020, ($2.1 million) for FY 2021 and ($1.3 million) for the nine months ending September 30, 2022, as outlined in our 10-K filed today. The adjustment related to the period from FY 2020 to FY 2022 and represented 0.3% of the total revenue over the three years. The adjustment also negatively impacted net income and Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter, but had no impact on net cash provided by operating activities, Free Cash Flow or ARR.

Excluding the adjustment, fourth quarter revenue would have been $119.4 million, an increase of 0.3% year-over-year (or 4.4% at constant currency), net income would have been $27.7 million, an increase of 82.0% year-over year (or 97.3% at constant currency), Adjusted EBITDA would have been $27.2 million, an increase of 9.2% year-over year (or 17.9% at constant currency), net income per common share would have been $0.63, an increase of $0.30 year-over year (or an increase of $0.34 at constant currency) and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share would have been $0.51, an increase of $0.05 year-over-year (or an increase of $0.10 at constant currency).   Excluding the adjustment, revenue and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share would have been in the high end of our implied Q4 guidance range and Adjusted EBITDA would have been within our implied Q4 guidance range.

The recurring components of the Company’s revenue remained strong during the fourth quarter as paid subscriptions reached 506,000 as of the end of 2022, an increase of 23.2% year-over-year. Subscription ARR was $141.3 million (as of December 31, 2022), an increase of 37.1% year-over-year, and total ARR was $244.9 million (as of December 31, 2022), an increase of 10.2% year-over-year. At constant currency, subscription ARR increased 38.8% year-over-year and total ARR increased 13.4% year-over-year.   In the fourth quarter, integrated solutions revenue was $40.8 million, an increase of 55% sequentially, as we continued to work to resolve supply chain challenges. As a result of continued strong integrated solutions orders during the fourth quarter, the backlog of unshipped orders was reduced during the quarter but remained above what we believe to be normal levels as of the end of 2022, at over $20 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $22.5 million in the fourth quarter and $48.0 million for FY 2022. Free Cash Flow was $18.3 million in the fourth quarter and $32.8 million for FY 2022. Free Cash Flow was lower year-over-year due to a greater use of cash in working capital, primarily from timing of cash billings related to multi-year enterprise subscriptions. In addition, higher capital expenditures, prepaid expenses due to our temporary Digital Transformation Initiative (DTI) investments and capitalized software development also negatively impacted Free Cash Flow. The Company expects that Free Cash Flow will be higher in 2023, as outlined in our guidance below.

Jeff Rosica, Avid’s Chief Executive Officer and President, stated, “We remain pleased with the overall business performance in the fourth quarter as we continue to see strong growth in our software subscription business for both creative and enterprise customers. Our customers continue to adopt our enterprise subscription offerings, which, combined with creative subscription growth, resulted in solid growth in ARR. In addition, we continued making progress in resolving supply chain challenges in our integrated solutions that we experienced throughout 2022.”   Mr. Rosica added, “While the one-time, non-cash adjustment to revenue we took in the fourth quarter impacted our results for the quarter, absent this adjustment, we would have been at the high-end of our implied Q4 guidance range for revenue and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share, and so, as we start 2023, we are confident in the underlying performance of the business as our product innovations continue to drive strong customer demand for our solutions.”

Ken Gayron, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Avid, said, “We continued to make substantial progress in driving our higher gross margin subscription and maintenance revenue during the fourth quarter, which together accounted for 59% of our total revenue in the quarter. This growth, combined with lower operating expenses, enabled us to deliver solid profitability in 2022 and, we believe, positions us well as we enter 2023.” Mr. Gayron continued, “Given the importance of ARR as a measure of the growth of our subscription and maintenance business, we have added ARR to our forward guidance for Q1 and FY 2023. Additionally, given our high confidence in our strategy and long-term model, we continued to repurchase shares in the fourth quarter under the Company’s share repurchase program.”

This press release also includes expectations for future Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Earnings per Share and Free Cash Flow, which are forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures are not included in this press release or elsewhere, due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from the estimation of the non-GAAP results, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible at this time. As a result, we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts.
