Last week, we acquired BundleB2B, a longtime BigCommerce partner and an integral piece of our B2B Edition product. Both solutions were purpose-built for BigCommerce merchants and are already integrated with our platform. With expanded native B2B functionality and a strong ecosystem of integration partner applications, BigCommerce is positioned for growth as a leading SaaS B2B platform. The Company extended its global presence into Germany, Mexico and Spain, empowering local merchants to scale and grow their businesses internationally and leverage industry-leading omnichannel capabilities for marketplace selling to drive revenue. We were named the No. 1 ecommerce platform in the Dutch market by Emerce100 in their The Best Companies in E-business 2022 report. We were also honored with the Retail Global Vendors in Partnership (VIP) Award as the 2022 Australian Solution Provider of the Year. The Company was named a Strong Performer by Forrester Research in both The Forrester Wave™: B2C Commerce Solutions, Q2 2022” and The Forrester Wave™: B2B Commerce Solutions, Q2 2022 reports. Forrester praised our strong partner ecosystem and performance against product vision. The analysts noted that our “roadmap is one of the strongest in this evaluation” and wrote, “Reference customers are enthusiastic about BigCommerce as a trusted partner, and it garnered the highest marks from references in this evaluation.”
  
  
• Product Highlights: In March, we announced the release of Multi-Storefront, a new feature that helps enterprise merchants to create and manage multiple storefronts within a single BigCommerce store, driving growth while reducing operational costs and complexities. Whether growing sales in new regions with localized storefronts, streamlining operations for managing multiple brands, or customizing for different customer segments like B2C and B2B, merchants can now seamlessly manage every aspect of their business from one dashboard. We also released multi-location inventory APIs in closed beta, completing the major components of the “Open” part of Open SaaS and putting APIs in front of every major component of our platform. Along with Multi-Storefront, we have genuinely crossed the bridge to provide full-featured, best-in-class enterprise capabilities.
  
  
• Merchant Highlights: In the first quarter, we launched a wide range of new merchants on our platform. Dutch home furnishings brand HKliving launched a headless site using B2B Edition and Prismic CMS. PoolZoom, which calls itself a “software company that sells pool supplies,” is also taking advantage of our headless functionality to integrate with its front end. Ollie Pets, which provides customized meal plans for pets, switched from their legacy solution to BigCommerce to take advantage of our headless functionality, streamlined checkout and ability to scale with SaaS. Van Café launched its new site for Volkswagen auto parts, leveraging the BigCommerce Acumatica ERP connector enabling the company’s customer data, inventory, products and third-party apps to seamlessly integrate into BigCommerce. Boxhub, a US-based merchant that makes it easy to buy, sell and trade shipping containers, launched a new storefront taking advantage of our open platform and APIs connecting with their custom tax and shipping applications. EuroSport Tuning, a supplier of European auto parts, is leveraging multi-storefront. They recently launched a new B2C site on our platform and are taking advantage of multi-storefront for their upcoming B2B site.
  
  
• Partner Highlights: In March, we announced a new strategic partnership with Bolt to offer small-, medium-, and enterprise-sized BigCommerce merchants to set up Bolt One-Click Checkout in a self-serve manner within minutes. Bolt can be pre-built into merchants’ BigCommerce stores allowing them to deliver secure, one-click transactions to create fast and seamless shopping experiences that drive engagement and access to the tens of millions of checkout-ready shoppers in the Bolt network. In February, we launched a direct integration with Digital River, an experienced global commerce enabler, to provide mid-market and enterprise BigCommerce merchants with a global commerce solution that manages payments, tax, fraud and compliance to simplify cross-border selling and accelerate global expansion. We unveiled the winners of the fourth annual BigCommerce Partner Awards, recognizing top-performing partners among our global network of more than 2,800 agency and technology partners. After formally introducing commerce-as-a-service as a new strategic growth pillar last quarter, in the first quarter, we enabled five new reseller partnerships including Clover, a leading POS and business management system for SMBs in North America. Overseas, we launched Fridom, Local.fr, Valuecom/Pay and Avasam. These partnerships expand our reach to new merchants through the sales and marketing units of established SMB solution providers, and they expand our reach to new merchants through the sales and marketing units of established SMB solution providers. This gives BigCommerce the opportunity to add new merchants with marginal cost, building additional distribution to scale our revenue model profitably. While we are still in the early phase of commerce-as-a-service, we are very pleased with the level of interest and pipeline we see building.
  

Q2 and 2022 Financial Outlook:

For the second quarter of 2022, the Company currently expects:

• Total revenue between $64.6 million to $67.5 million, implying a year-over-year growth rate of 32% to 38%.
• Non-GAAP operating loss is expected to be between $16 million to $18 million.

For the full year 2022, the Company currently expects:

• Total revenue between $277.8 million and $286.6 million, translating into a year-over-year growth rate of 26% and 30%.
• Non-GAAP operating loss between $47.9 million and $53.9 million.

The Company’s second quarter and 2022 financial outlook is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change and many of which are outside the Company’s control. If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company’s expectations may change. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve these results.

The Company does not provide guidance for operating loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Non-GAAP operating loss, and similarly cannot provide a reconciliation between its forecasted Non-GAAP operating loss and Non-GAAP net loss per share and these comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for certain items. These items are not within the Company’s control and may vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future financial results.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have provided in this press release certain financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Our management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believes that use of these Non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry, many of which present similar Non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of our historical Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review these reconciliations.

Annual Revenue Run-Rate

We calculate annual revenue run-rate (“ARR”) at the end of each month as the sum of: (1) contractual monthly recurring revenue at the end of the period, which includes platform subscription fees, invoiced growth adjustments, feed management subscription fees, recurring professional services revenue, and other recurring revenue, multiplied by twelve to prospectively annualize recurring revenue, and (2) the sum of the trailing twelve-month non-recurring and variable revenue, which includes one-time partner integrations, one-time fees, payments revenue share, and any other revenue that is non-recurring and variable.

Accounts with Greater than $2,000 ACV

We track the total number of accounts with annual contract value (“ACV”) greater than $2,000 (the “ACV threshold”) as of the end of a monthly billing period. To define this $2,000 ACV cohort, we include only subscription plan revenue and exclude partner and services revenue and recurring services revenue. We consider all stores and brands added and subtracted as of the end of the monthly billing period. This metric includes accounts that may have either one single store or brand above the ACV threshold or multiple stores or brands that together exceed the ACV threshold.

Enterprise Account Metrics

To measure the effectiveness of our ability to execute against our growth strategy, particularly within the mid-market and enterprise business segments, we calculate ARR attributable to Enterprise Accounts. We define Enterprise Accounts as accounts with at least one unique Enterprise plan subscription or an enterprise level feed management subscription (collectively “Enterprise Accounts”). These accounts may have more than one Enterprise plan or a combination of Enterprise plans and Essentials plans.

Average Revenue Per Account

We calculate average revenue per account (ARPA) for accounts above the ACV threshold at the end of a period by including customer-billed revenue and an allocation of partner and services revenue, where applicable. We allocate partner revenue, where applicable, primarily based on each customer’s share of GMV processed through that partner’s solution. For partner revenue that is not directly linked to customer usage of a partner’s solution, we allocate such revenue based on each customer’s share of total platform GMV. Each account’s partner revenue allocation is calculated by taking the account’s trailing twelve-month partner revenue, then dividing by twelve to create a monthly average to apply to the applicable period in order to normalize ARPA for seasonality.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net loss, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense and related payroll tax expense, third party acquisition-related costs, and other acquisition related expenses, including contingent compensation arrangements entered into in connection with acquisitions, depreciation and amortization expense, interest income, interest expense, changes in fair value of financial instruments, and our provision for income taxes. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net loss.

Non-GAAP Operating Loss

We define Non-GAAP Operating Loss as our GAAP Loss from operations, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense and related payroll tax expense, third party acquisition-related costs, and other acquisition related expenses, including contingent compensation arrangements entered into in connection with acquisitions and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is our loss from operations.

Non-GAAP Net Loss

We define Non-GAAP Net Loss as our GAAP net loss, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense and related payroll tax expense, third party acquisition-related costs, and other acquisition related expenses, including contingent compensation arrangements entered into in connection with acquisitions, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and changes in fair value of financial instruments. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is our net loss.

Non-GAAP Net Loss per Share

We define Non-GAAP Net Loss per Share as our Non-GAAP Net Loss, defined above, divided by our basic and diluted GAAP weighted average shares outstanding. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is our net loss per share.

Free Cash Flow

We define Free Cash flow as our GAAP cash flow from operating activities plus our GAAP purchases of property and equipment (Capital Expenditures). The most directly comparable GAAP measure is our cash flow from operating activities.
