Insights

Bandwidth's Q2 2024 results demonstrate robust growth and improving profitability, signaling a positive trajectory for the company. Revenue reached $174 million, marking a significant 19% year-over-year increase. This growth outpaces many peers in the cloud communications sector, indicating Bandwidth's strong market position and ability to capture increasing demand for enterprise cloud communications solutions.

Particularly noteworthy is the company's accelerating profitability. Adjusted EBITDA surged by 77% year-over-year to $19 million, showcasing improved operational efficiency and scale benefits. The non-GAAP gross margin expanded slightly to 56%, reflecting the company's ability to maintain pricing power while managing costs effectively.

The transition to positive free cash flow is a important milestone, swinging from -$1 million in Q2 2023 to $18 million in Q2 2024. This improvement in cash generation enhances Bandwidth's financial flexibility and reduces reliance on external financing, which is particularly valuable in the current high-interest-rate environment.

Looking ahead, the company's Q3 guidance of $180-184 million in revenue and $18-20 million in Adjusted EBITDA suggests continued growth and profitability. The full-year 2024 outlook, with revenue projected at $710-720 million and Adjusted EBITDA at $72-76 million, indicates management's confidence in sustaining this positive momentum.

However, investors should note the slight decline in GAAP gross margin from 40% to 37% year-over-year. While this is offset by non-GAAP improvements, it warrants monitoring in future quarters to ensure it doesn't signal increasing cost pressures or pricing challenges.

Bandwidth's Q2 performance underscores its strategic positioning in the evolving cloud communications landscape. The company's innovative solutions, particularly Maestro and AI Bridge, are proving to be key differentiators in a competitive market.

Maestro, Bandwidth's orchestration platform, is gaining traction among enterprise clients, as evidenced by the nationwide medical claims management provider selecting Bandwidth as their exclusive voice calling provider. This highlights the growing demand for flexible, customizable communication solutions that can seamlessly integrate with existing systems.

The mention of AI Bridge is particularly intriguing. As artificial intelligence continues to reshape various industries, Bandwidth's focus on AI-driven communications solutions could open up new revenue streams and enhance its value proposition to enterprise clients. This could be a significant growth driver in the coming quarters, especially as businesses increasingly seek to leverage AI in their communication processes.

The adoption of Bandwidth's Advanced Call Routing by a business insurance provider underscores the critical importance of reliability and redundancy in enterprise communications. As businesses become more reliant on cloud-based solutions, Bandwidth's ability to offer robust, resilient services positions it well for continued growth in the enterprise segment.

However, the competitive landscape in cloud communications remains intense. While Bandwidth is showing strong performance, it will need to continue innovating and expanding its product offerings to maintain its growth trajectory and fend off competition from both established players and emerging startups in the space.

Revenue of $174 million, up 19% year-over-year

RALEIGH, N.C., Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bandwidth Inc. (NASDAQ: BAND), a leading global enterprise cloud communications company, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

As we move forward, we remain focused on delivering exceptional value and transforming the communications landscape."

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

The following table summarizes the condensed consolidated financial highlights for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 ($ in millions).

	Three months ended June 30,
	2024	2023
Revenue	$ 174	$ 146
Gross Margin	37 %	40 %
Non-GAAP Gross Margin ⁽¹⁾	56 %	55 %

⁽¹⁾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.

"Bandwidth's second quarter results underscore our commitment to sustainable, profitable growth. With total revenue reaching $174 million and Adjusted EBITDA up 77% from the prior year, we are performing well across all categories," said Daryl Raiford, CFO of Bandwidth. "Our strategic investments and disciplined financial management have driven impressive free cash flow and operational efficiency. We are well-positioned to continue this momentum into the second half of the year, further enhancing our financial strength and growth trajectory."

Second Quarter Customer and Operational Highlights

A nationwide provider of medical claims management selected Bandwidth as their exclusive provider for voice calling, valuing our exceptional customer support and the flexibility of our Maestro product to orchestrate and enhance functionality across their platform.
A prominent provider of healthcare integrated supportive care solutions chose Bandwidth to power its cloud contact center. Our communications cloud reliability and the comprehensive protection offered by our Call Assure product resonated with the customer, ensuring redundancy and safeguarding mission critical communications.
A trusted provider of business insurance switched to Bandwidth as their sole provider for voice calling. They valued our Advanced Call Routing solution, which offers robust resiliency and redundancy for their contact center traffic, along with our superior back-end reporting tools.
A well-established customer and provider of communications management software significantly increased their messaging business with us. Our deep industry knowledge and outstanding customer service played pivotal roles in securing this additional business.

Financial Outlook

Bandwidth's outlook is based on current indications for its business, which are subject to change. Bandwidth is providing guidance for its third quarter and full year 2024 as follows (in millions):

	3Q 2024 Guidance	Full Year 2024 Guidance
Revenue	$180 - $184	$710 - $720
Adjusted EBITDA	$18 - $20	$72 - $76

Bandwidth has not reconciled its third quarter and full year 2024 guidance related to Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income or loss, because stock-based compensation cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this press release other than statements of historical facts, including, without limitation, future financial and business performance for the quarter ending September 30, 2024 and year ending December 31, 2024, the success of our product offerings and our platform, and the value proposition of our products, are forward-looking statements. The words "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "continue," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "guide," "may," "will" and similar expressions and their negatives are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, risks related to our rapid growth and ability to sustain our revenue growth rate, competition in the markets in which we operate, market growth, our ability to innovate and manage our growth, our ability to expand effectively into new markets, macroeconomic conditions both in the U.S. and globally, legal, reputational and financial risks which may result from ever-evolving cybersecurity threats, our ability to operate in compliance with applicable laws, as well as other risks and uncertainties set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of our latest Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and any subsequent reports that we file with the SEC. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will occur. We are under no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this press release to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, we provide investors with certain Non-GAAP financial measures and other business metrics, which we believe are helpful to our investors. We use these Non-GAAP financial measures and other business metrics for financial and operational decision-making purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these Non-GAAP financial measures and other business metrics provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects and allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

The presentation of Non-GAAP financial information and other business metrics is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. While our Non-GAAP financial measures and other business metrics are an important tool for financial and operational decision-making and for evaluating our own operating results over different periods of time, we urge investors to review the reconciliation of these financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

We define Non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit after adding back depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions and stock-based compensation. We add back depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions and stock-based compensation because they are non-cash items. We eliminate the impact of these 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 that showing gross margin, as adjusted to remove the impact of these 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 by dividing Non-GAAP gross profit by cloud communications revenue, which is revenue less pass-through messaging surcharges.

We define Non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income or loss adjusted for certain items affecting period to period comparability. Non-GAAP net income (loss) excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs for convertible debt, acquisition related expenses, impairment charges of intangibles assets, net cost associated with early lease terminations and leases without economic benefit, (gain) loss on sale of business, net (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, gain on business interruption insurance recoveries, non-recurring items not indicative of ongoing operations and other, and estimated tax impact of above adjustments, net of valuation allowances.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or losses from continuing operations, adjusted to reflect the addition or elimination of certain statement of operations items including, but not limited to: income tax (benefit) provision, interest (income) expense, net, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, impairment of intangible assets, (gain) loss on sale of business, net cost associated with early lease terminations and leases without economic benefit, net (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, gain on business interruption insurance recoveries, and non-recurring items not indicative of ongoing operations and other. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of certain items in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can produce a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business.

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by or used in operating activities less net cash used in the acquisition of property, plant and equipment and capitalized development costs for software for internal use. We believe free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity and provides information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated from our core operations that can be used for investing in our business. Free cash flow has certain limitations in that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, it does not take into consideration investment in long-term securities, nor does it represent the residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures. Therefore, it is important to evaluate free cash flow along with our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

We believe that these Non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects and allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making. While a reconciliation of Non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, many of these costs and expenses that we may incur in the future, we have provided a reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures and other business metrics to the nearest comparable GAAP measures in the accompanying financial statement tables included in this press release.

⁽¹⁾ Non-recurring items not indicative of ongoing operations and other include (i) less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million of losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, (ii) $0.1 million of losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2024, and (iii) $0.4 million of expense resulting from the early termination of our undrawn SVB credit facility and $0.3 million of losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

⁽²⁾The estimated tax-effect of adjustments is determined by recalculating the tax provision on a Non-GAAP basis. The Non-GAAP effective income tax rate was 15.0% and 2.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Non-GAAP effective income tax rate differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% in the U.S. primarily due to the research and development tax credits generated in 2024. We analyze the Non-GAAP valuation allowance position on a quarterly basis. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we removed the valuation allowance against all U.S. deferred tax assets for Non-GAAP purposes as a result of cumulative Non-GAAP U.S. income over the past three years and a significant depletion of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards on a Non-GAAP basis. As of June 30, 2024, we have no valuation allowance against our remaining deferred tax assets for Non-GAAP purposes.

⁽³⁾ Non-GAAP net income is increased for interest expense as part of the calculation for diluted Non-GAAP earnings per share.
