AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Turbine, Inc. (Nasdaq: APPS) announced financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2022.  The Company completed the acquisitions of AdColony Holding AS and Fyber N.V. on April 29 and May 25, 2021, respectively. Specific references made to "pro forma" results in this release provide investors with quarterly results and comparisons as if all acquired businesses were owned for the entirety of the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The Company believes that pro forma results, where applicable, can provide investors with more relevant year-over-year comparisons. The reconciliations between the pro forma and GAAP financial results for the relevant periods are provided in the tables following the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows below.

Recent Financial Highlights:

• Fiscal first quarter of 2023 revenue totaled $188.6 million, representing a 19% increase year-over-year on an as-reported basis as compared to the fiscal first quarter of 2022 and a 5% increase year-over-year on a pro forma basis as compared to the comparable pro forma figure for the fiscal first quarter of 2022.
• GAAP net income for the fiscal first quarter of 2023 was $15.0 million, or $0.15 per share, as compared to GAAP net income for the fiscal first quarter of 2022 of $14.3 million, or $0.14 per share. Non-GAAP adjusted net income¹ for the fiscal first quarter of 2023 was $38.6 million, or $0.38 per share, as compared to Non-GAAP adjusted net income¹ of $33.4 million, or $0.34 per share, in the fiscal first quarter of 2022.
• Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA² for the fiscal first quarter of 2023 was $51.9 million, representing an increase of 30% as compared to Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA² of $39.8 million in the fiscal first quarter of 2022.

"Like most companies, we are experiencing challenging macro conditions," said Bill Stone CEO.  "However, despite these macro headwinds, I was pleased with the demonstrated emphasis on profitable growth and our continuing progress on several strategic initiatives, such as SingleTap, that should serve as critical growth drivers in the future.  It has now been one full year for us operating as 'OneDT', and we have generated a total of $207 million in non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA² and $144 million in non-GAAP free cash flow³ over the past four quarters while integrating our full array of platform assets. We are focused on maintaining our highly profitable business model amid macro headwinds, while continuing to make strategic investments in a wide range of future growth initiatives, including exploring strategic partnerships with other app distribution platform providers. These investments should position Digital Turbine as a far more versatile and more valuable business for all of our stakeholders."

Fiscal 2023 First Quarter Financial Results

Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $188.6 million.  Total "On-Device Solutions" revenue, which represents revenue derived from the Company's Application Media and Content Media platform products before intercompany eliminations, was mostly flat year-over-year at $118.6 million. Before intercompany eliminations, total revenue from our App Growth Platform, which represents revenue derived from the Fyber and AdColony businesses, increased 13% year-over-year on a pro forma basis to $72.4 million. 

GAAP net income for the fiscal first quarter of 2023 was $15.0 million, or $0.15 per share, as compared to GAAP net income of $14.3 million, or $0.14 per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2022.  Non-GAAP adjusted net income¹ for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $38.6 million, or $0.38 per share, as compared to Non-GAAP adjusted net income of $33.4 million, or $0.34 per share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA² for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $51.9 million, representing an increase of 30% year-over-year when compared to Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $39.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The reconciliations between GAAP and Non-GAAP financial results for all referenced periods are provided in the tables immediately following the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows below.

Business Outlook

Based on information available as of August 8, 2022, the Company currently expects the following for the second quarter of fiscal 2023:

• Revenue of between $170 million and $180 million
• Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA² of between $46 million and $50 million
• Non-GAAP adjusted EPS¹ of $0.32 to $0.34, based on approximately 104 million diluted shares outstanding and an effective tax rate of 25% on non-GAAP net income in the fiscal second quarter

It is not reasonably practicable to provide a business outlook for GAAP net income because the Company cannot reasonably estimate the changes in stock-based compensation expense, which is directly impacted by changes in the Company's stock price, or other items that are difficult to predict with precision.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Digital Turbine uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP adjusted net income and earnings per share ("EPS"), non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP free cash flow, and non-GAAP gross profit. 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 and EPS are defined as GAAP net income and EPS adjusted to exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles, and transaction-related expenses and compensation costs. Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP adjusted net income 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 excluding the following cash and non-cash expenses: net interest income/(expense), income tax provision, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles, foreign exchange transaction gains/(losses), and transaction-related expenses and compensation costs. Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income 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), excluding transaction-related expenses and compensation costs, 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 gross profit is defined as GAAP income from operations adjusted to exclude the effect of product development costs, sales and marketing costs, general and administrative costs, and depreciation of software. Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP gross profit should not be construed as an alternative to income from operations 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 EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted net income and EPS, non-GAAP free cash flow, and non-GAAP gross profit are used by management as internal measures of profitability and performance. 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.
