LiveVox Announces Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Third quarter total revenue of $30.5 million, up 20.2% year-over-year

Third quarter contract revenue of $23.1 million, up 26.3% year-over-year

LiveVox Holdings, Inc. (“LiveVox” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: LVOX), a leading global enterprise cloud communications company, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

“We executed incredibly well in Q3, highlighted by record revenue of $30.5 million, and contract revenue of $23.1 million, both of which exceeded the high end of our guidance range. Additionally, we achieved record bookings in the quarter which puts us on track for our strongest bookings year in company history,” said Louis Summe, CEO and Co-Founder of LiveVox. “We are also thrilled to announce our largest ever new logo deal with ARR1 of $3.3 million, and we are seeing both new and existing customers opt for an increasing number of our products. I am incredibly optimistic about both the fundamentals of our business, and the secular tailwinds driving momentum into our full enterprise, blended omnichannel platform.”

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue2: Total revenue for the third quarter of 2021 was $30.5 million, up 20.2% compared to $25.4 million in the third quarter of 2020.
  • Contract Revenue: Contract revenue was $23.1 million, up 26.3% compared to $18.2 million for the third quarter of 2020.
  • Gross Profit: Gross profit was $17.0 million, up 8.4% compared to $15.7 million for the third quarter of 2020.
  • Non-GAAP Gross Profit3 and Non-GAAP Gross Margin3: Non-GAAP gross profit was $18.1 million, up 8.5% compared to $16.7 million for the third quarter of 2020; Non-GAAP gross margin was 59.5% after adjusting for stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization and long-term incentive compensation triggered by the closing of the merger with Crescent Acquisition Corp. during the quarter, compared to 65.9% in the third quarter of 2020.
  • Net loss: Net loss was $11.3 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to net loss of $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2020.
  • Adjusted EBITDA3: Adjusted EBITDA loss was $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2020.

_____________________________

1 ARR is defined as the annualized recurring revenue of an active subscription contract.

2 Total revenue is comprised of recurring subscription revenue and implementation revenue. Subscription revenue is comprised of contract revenue (revenue derived from usage committed under contract) and excess usage revenue (revenue derived from usage amounts higher than the minimum usage under contract).

3 Additional information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this release, including an explanation of these measures and how each is calculated, is included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has also been provided in the financial tables included below.

Business Outlook

In determining the financial guidance to provide to investors, the Company considered its recent business trends and financial results, current growth plans, strategic initiatives, global economic outlook and the continued uncertainty of COVID-19 and its potential impact on the Company’s results. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, excess usage revenue has been negatively impacted by the effect of government stimulus provided to consumers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including, without limitation, direct stimulus payments to consumers, enhanced and extended unemployment benefits, rent abatements and mortgage and student loan forbearances. These programs have reduced consumer credit origination and servicing activity for a significant number of the Company’s customers. In determining the financial guidance for the fourth quarter and the full year 2021 set forth below, the Company has assumed that the negative impact to excess usage revenue from such stimulus will remain the same as current levels for the remainder of the year. As such, LiveVox is providing guidance for its fourth quarter and full year 2021 as follows:

  • Fourth Quarter 2021 Guidance:
    • Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $31.2 to $32.2 million, representing growth of 11% to 15% year-over-year.
    • Contract revenue is expected to be in the range of $23.9 to $24.4 million, representing growth of 19% to 22% year-over-year.
    • Excess usage revenue is expected to be in the range of $7.3 to $7.8 million, representing a decrease of 4% to 9% year-over-year, assuming that the usage multiplier (total revenue divided by contract revenue) remains at current pandemic-impacted levels for the fourth quarter.
  • Full Year 2021 Guidance:
    • Total revenue is now expected to be in the range of $118.6 to $119.6 million, representing growth of 16% to 17% year-over-year.
    • Contract revenue is now expected to be in the range of $90.1 to $90.6 million, representing growth of 25% to 26% year-over-year.
    • Excess usage revenue is expected to be in the range of $28.5 to $29.0 million, representing a decline of 6% to 7% year-over-year, assuming that the usage multiplier (total revenue divided by contract revenue) remains at current pandemic-impacted levels for the remainder of the year.
  • Preliminary Full Year 2022 Guidance:
    • For the full year 2022, while we are still not providing formal guidance, we do reaffirm a minimum year-over-year growth rate in Contract Revenue of 25% based on our recent bookings momentum.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate operating performance. We believe non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others to understand and evaluate our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors and allows for better comparison of financial results among our competitors.

Adjusted EBITDA

We monitor Adjusted EBITDA, a non-generally accepted accounting principle (“Non-GAAP”) financial measure, to analyze our financial results and believe that it is useful to investors, as a supplement to U.S. GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance and enhancing an overall understanding of our past financial performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA helps illustrate underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the income or expenses that we exclude from Adjusted EBITDA. Furthermore, we use this measure to establish budgets and operational goals for managing our business and evaluating our performance. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our recurring core business operating results over multiple periods with other companies in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that of other companies in our industry. We compensate for the inherent limitations associated with using Adjusted EBITDA through disclosure of these limitations, presentation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, net income (loss). We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) stock-based compensation, (iii) interest expense, net and other expense, net, (iv) provision (benefit from) for income taxes, and (v) other items that do not directly affect what we consider to be our core operating performance.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin Percentage

U.S. GAAP defines gross profit as revenue less cost of revenue. Cost of revenue includes all expenses associated with our various product offerings. We define Non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit after adding back the following items: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) long-term equity incentive bonus and stock-based compensation expense; and (iii) other non-recurring expenses. We add back depreciation and amortization, long-term equity incentive bonus and stock-based compensation expense and other non-recurring expenses because they are one-time or non-cash items. We eliminate the impact of these one-time or non-cash items because we do not consider them indicative of our core operating performance. Their exclusion facilitates comparisons of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis. Therefore, we believe showing Non-GAAP gross margin to remove the impact of these one-time or non-cash expenses is helpful to investors in assessing our gross profit and gross margin performance in a way that is similar to how management assesses our performance. We calculate Non-GAAP gross margin percentage by dividing Non-GAAP gross profit by revenue, expressed as a percentage of revenue.

Management uses Non-GAAP gross profit and Non-GAAP gross margin percentage to evaluate operating performance and to determine resource allocation among our various product offerings. We believe Non-GAAP gross profit and Non-GAAP gross margin percentage provide useful information to investors and others to understand and evaluate our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors and allows for better comparison of financial results among our competitors. Non-GAAP gross profit and Non-GAAP gross margin percentage may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate Non-GAAP gross profit and Non-GAAP gross margin percentage or similarly titled measures in the same manner as we do.

Please see tables below for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for the periods presented.
