Insights

AudioEye's Q2 2024 results demonstrate solid financial performance and growth. The company reported its 34th consecutive quarter of record revenue, with total revenue increasing 8% year-over-year to $8.5 million. This growth, coupled with improved operational efficiency, led to significant improvements in profitability metrics.

Key financial highlights include:

  • Gross profit increased to $6.7 million (79% of revenue), up from $6.0 million (77% of revenue) in Q2 2023.
  • Operating expenses decreased by 11% to $7.2 million, primarily due to increased efficiency in sales and marketing.
  • Net loss improved by 63% to $0.7 million, or $(0.06) per share.
  • Adjusted EBITDA turned positive at $1.5 million, compared to a loss of $0.2 million in Q2 2023.
  • Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) grew to $33.3 million, a sequential increase of $1.3 million.

The company's improved financial performance and strong business momentum have led management to increase guidance for full-year 2024. The revised outlook projects revenue between $34.5 million and $34.8 million, with adjusted EBITDA between $6.0 million and $6.3 million.

While the cash position decreased to $5.1 million from $7.0 million in the previous quarter, this was primarily due to a one-time earn-out payment related to an acquisition. The company generated positive adjusted free cash flow of approximately $1.0 million in Q2, indicating improving cash generation capabilities.

Overall, AudioEye's financial results reflect a company transitioning towards profitability while maintaining strong top-line growth. The focus on operational efficiency and the expanding market for digital accessibility solutions position the company well for continued growth and margin expansion.

The recent regulatory developments in digital accessibility present significant opportunities for AudioEye. Two key regulatory changes stand out:

  • In April 2024, the Department of Justice issued an approved rule for updated regulations under Title II of the ADA. This mandates state and local government entities to ensure their websites and mobile apps are accessible to people with disabilities, following WCAG 2.1, Level AA standards by April 2026 or 2027, depending on entity size.
  • In May 2024, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a final rule under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. This rule requires web content and mobile applications provided by HHS-funded organizations to comply with WCAG 2.1, Level AA standards by May 2026 or 2027, based on organization size.

These regulatory changes significantly expand the potential market for AudioEye's services. Government entities, healthcare providers and related organizations will need to ensure compliance with these new standards, likely driving increased demand for digital accessibility solutions.

The timing of these regulations is particularly favorable for AudioEye. With implementation deadlines set for 2026 and 2027, organizations have a window to achieve compliance. This urgency could accelerate adoption of AudioEye's services in the coming years.

Furthermore, these regulations may set a precedent for other sectors, potentially leading to broader adoption of digital accessibility standards across industries. This could create a ripple effect, expanding AudioEye's addressable market beyond government and healthcare sectors.

However, it's important to note that these regulatory changes may also attract new competitors to the market. AudioEye will need to leverage its established position and continue innovating to maintain its competitive edge in an potentially expanding market.

AudioEye's market position appears to be strengthening, as evidenced by several key indicators in their Q2 2024 results:

  • Customer count increased by 16% year-over-year to approximately 121,000, indicating strong market penetration and customer acquisition.
  • The expansion of partnership with Finalsite, a leading K-12 school community relationship management platform, opens up significant opportunities in the education sector.
  • The launch of AudioEyeQ, a free, on-demand accessibility education platform, demonstrates a strategic move to increase awareness and potentially drive future sales.

The digital accessibility market is poised for substantial growth, driven by regulatory changes and increasing awareness of the importance of web accessibility. AudioEye's focus on both enterprise clients and the partner/marketplace channel positions it well to capture this growth across various segments.

The company's ability to achieve 34 consecutive quarters of record revenue suggests a robust and expanding market demand for its services. The sequential revenue growth at an annualized rate of 19% is particularly impressive, indicating strong market momentum.

However, it's important to monitor the competitive landscape. As the market expands due to regulatory pressures, new entrants may emerge, potentially challenging AudioEye's market share. The company's focus on innovation, as evidenced by the launch of AudioEyeQ, will be critical in maintaining its competitive edge.

The increase in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) to $33.3 million suggests strong customer retention and potential for predictable future growth. This recurring revenue model provides stability and visibility into future performance, which is highly valued in the SaaS market.

Overall, AudioEye's market position appears strong, with significant growth potential driven by regulatory tailwinds and increasing market awareness of digital accessibility needs. The company's ability to capitalize on these opportunities while maintaining operational efficiency will be key to its future success.

Thirty-Fourth Consecutive Period of Record Revenue

TUCSON, Ariz., July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AudioEye, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEYE) ("AudioEye" or the "Company"), the industry-leading digital accessibility company, reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

"For the second quarter, sequential revenues grew at an annualized growth rate of 19%, and adjusted EBITDA margin was 17%. Business momentum is strong, and we are increasing revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS guidance for the full year. Our operating leverage is clear, and we expect margins to improve further," said AudioEye CEO David Moradi. "We were close to the 'Rule of 40' in the second quarter and expect to achieve the 'Rule of 40' in the third quarter."

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

  • Total revenue increased 8% to a record $8.5M from $7.8M in the same prior year period.
  • Gross profit increased to $6.7M (79% of total revenue) from $6.0M (77% of total revenue) in the same prior year period. The increase was due to revenue growth compared to the same prior year period.
  • Total operating expenses decreased 11% to $7.2M from $8.1M in the same prior year period. The decrease in operating expenses was due primarily to increased efficiency in sales and marketing and the completion of significant initiatives in R&D, partially offset by higher non-recurring G&A expenses.
  • Net loss available to common stockholders improved 63% to $0.7M, or $(0.06) per share, from a net loss of $2.0M, or $(0.17) per share, in the same prior year period. The improvement in net loss was primarily due to revenue increases and efficiencies in sales and marketing and R&D.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2024 was $1.5M, or adjusted EPS of $0.12, compared to a negative adjusted EBITDA of $(0.2M), or adjusted EPS of $(0.02), in the same prior year period. For the second quarter of 2024, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS reflect adjustments primarily for stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and litigation expense.
  • Annual Recurring Revenue ("ARR") as of June 30, 2024, increased $1.3M sequentially to $33.3M from $32.0M as of March 31, 2024.
  • As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $5.1M in cash, compared to $7.0M as of March 31, 2024. The decrease in cash for the quarter was primarily driven by the final earn-out payment related to the acquisition of BOIA. Adjusted free cash flow (defined as Adjusted EBITDA less software capitalization) was approximately $1.0M in the second quarter of 2024.

Other Updates

  • In April 2024, the Department of Justice issued an approved rule for updated regulations under Title II of the ADA. These regulations mandate that state and local government entities ensure their websites and mobile apps are accessible to people with disabilities, following WCAG 2.1, Level AA technical standards beginning April 24, 2026, or April 26, 2027, depending upon the entity size.
  • In May 2024, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) issued a final rule bolstering protection for individuals with disabilities under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. The rule ensures that web content and mobile applications provided by organizations that receive funding from HHS, including hospitals and most doctor's offices, social service providers, nursing homes, etc. are compliant with WCAG 2.1, Level AA technical standards. Beginning May 11, 2026, organizations with 15 or more employees must ensure web content and mobile application compliance. Organizations with less than 15 employees will have until May 10, 2027.
  • The Company announced an expanded partnership with Finalsite, the leading K-12 school community relationship management platform serving 7,000 clients in 115 countries worldwide, to significantly enhance digital accessibility for K-12 schools.
  • In July 2024, AudioEye announced the launch of AudioEyeQ, a best-in-class accessibility learning platform offering free, on-demand accessibility education courses for anyone looking to expand their accessibility knowledge.
  • Customer count increased 16% to approximately 121,000 customers as of June 30, 2024, compared to about 104,000 as of June 30, 2023. Both the Enterprise and the Partner and Marketplace channels contributed to the increase in customer count.

In the third quarter of 2024, the Company expects to generate revenue between $8.85M and $8.95M. It also expects adjusted EBITDA between $1.85M and $1.95M and adjusted EPS between $0.15 and $0.16 per share.

Based on strong results achieved year-to-date and a revised growth projection for the remainder of 2024, AudioEye management is updating its full-year financial outlook.

About Key Operating Metrics
We consider annual recurring revenue ("ARR") as a key operating metric and a key indicator of our overall business. We also use ARR as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating, on at least a quarterly and annual basis, actual results against such expectations.

We manage customers through two primary channels, Enterprise and Partner and Marketplace. Enterprise channel consists of our larger customers and organizations, including those with non-platform custom websites, who generally engage directly with AudioEye sales personnel for custom pricing and solutions. This channel also includes federal, state and local government agencies. The Partner and Marketplace channel consists of our CMS partners, platform & agency partners, authorized resellers and our marketplace. This channel serves small and medium sized businesses who are on a partner or reseller's web-hosting platform or who purchase an AudioEye solution from our marketplace.

We define ARR as the sum of (i) for our Enterprise channel, the total of the annualized recurring fee at the date of determination under each active contract, plus (ii) for our Partner and Marketplace channel, the annual or monthly recurring fee for all active customers at the date of determination, in each case, assuming no changes to the subscription, multiplied by 12 if applicable. Recurring fees are defined as revenues expected to be generated from services typically offered as a subscription service such as our automation and platform, periodic auditing, human-assisted technological remediations, legal support and professional service offerings and other services that reoccur on a multi-year contract. This determination includes both annual and monthly contracts for recurring products. Some of our contracts are terminable prior to the expected term, which may impact future ARR. ARR excludes non-recurring fees, which are defined as revenue expected to be generated from services typically not offered as a subscription service such as our PDF remediation services business, one-time mobile application reports, and other miscellaneous services that are offered as non-subscription services or are expected to be one-time in nature.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
From time to time, we review adjusted financial measures that assist us in comparing our operating performance consistently over time, as such measures remove the impact of certain items, as applicable, such as our capital structure (primarily interest charges), items outside the control of the management team (taxes), and expenses that do not relate to our core operations, including significant transaction and litigation-related expenses and other costs that are expected to be non-recurring. In order to provide investors with greater insight and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used in our financial and operational decision-making, the Company has supplemented the consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis in this press release with the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share.

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Company results as reported under GAAP. The Company compensates for such limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only as supplemental data. We also provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures used. Investors are encouraged to carefully review this reconciliation. In addition, because these non-GAAP measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, these measures, as defined by us, may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share
We define: (i) Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), plus (less) interest expense (income), plus depreciation and amortization expense, plus stock-based compensation expense, plus non-cash valuation adjustment to contingent consideration, plus certain litigation expense, and plus loss on disposal or impairment of long-lived assets; (ii) Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of GAAP revenue; and (iii) Adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share as net income (loss) per diluted common share, plus (less) interest expense (income), plus depreciation and amortization expense, plus stock-based compensation expense, plus non-cash valuation adjustment to contingent consideration, plus certain litigation expense, and plus loss on disposal or impairment of long-lived assets, each on a per share basis. Adjusted earnings per diluted share would include incremental shares in the share count that are considered anti-dilutive in a GAAP net loss position. However, no incremental shares apply when there is an Adjusted loss per diluted share, as is the case for some of the periods presented in this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share are used to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone. All of the items adjusted in the Adjusted EBITDA to net loss and the Adjusted earnings (loss) per share calculations are either recurring non-cash items, or items that management does not consider in assessing our on-going operating performance. In the case of the non-cash items, such as stock-based compensation expense and valuation adjustments to assets and liabilities, management believes that investors may find it useful to assess our comparative operating performance because the measures without such items are expected to be less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from expenses that do not relate to our core operations and are more reflective of other factors that affect operating performance. In the case of items that do not relate to our core operations, management believes that investors may find it useful to assess our operating performance if the measures are presented without these items because their financial impact does not reflect ongoing operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity under GAAP, or otherwise, and is not an alternative to cash flow from continuing operating activities, despite the advantages regarding the use and analysis of these measures as mentioned above. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share, as disclosed in this press release, have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP; nor are these measures intended to be measures of liquidity or free cash flow.

To properly and prudently evaluate our business, we encourage readers to review the consolidated GAAP financial statements included in this press release, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. The following table sets forth reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP-based measure, as well as Adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share to net loss per diluted share, the most directly comparable GAAP-based measure. We strongly urge readers to review these reconciliations, along with the financial statements included in this press release.
