Insights

Bridgeline Digital's Q4 2024 results reveal a mixed but concerning financial picture. Total revenue showed marginal growth to $3.9 million from $3.8 million, while subscription revenue declined to $3.0 million from $3.1 million. The 69% gross margin represents only a slight improvement.

The company's annual performance shows deterioration with total revenue dropping to $15.4 million from $15.9 million. The operating loss narrowed to $2.0 million for FY2024, but this improvement is mainly due to the absence of the previous year's goodwill impairment charge.

While HawkSearch's AI initiatives and 83 new license sales adding $2.1 million in annual recurring revenue are positive developments, the declining core revenue and continued operating losses raise concerns about the company's ability to achieve profitable growth. The $6.2 million in new customer contracts hasn't translated into overall revenue growth, suggesting potential customer churn issues.

The strategic pivot towards AI-powered search through HawkSearch shows promise but faces execution challenges. The launch of Smart Search, Smart Response and Smart Tools, along with Conversational Search and Smart Facets features, positions Bridgeline competitively in the evolving search technology landscape. The 103% net revenue retention for HawkSearch specifically indicates product-market fit.

Key partnerships with Optimizely, Moblico and Human Element expand distribution channels across major e-commerce platforms. However, the company's overall technology transformation hasn't yet translated into meaningful revenue growth, suggesting potential integration or adoption hurdles with existing customers.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains the following Non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss), and Non-GAAP adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, non-cash warrant related income/expense, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, restructuring and acquisition-related costs, amortization of debt discounts, preferred stock dividends and any related tax effects. Bridgeline uses Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) as supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").

Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) and Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share are calculated as net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share on a diluted basis, excluding, where applicable, amortization of intangible assets, change in fair value of warrants, stock-based compensation, restructuring and acquisition-related costs, goodwill impairment charges, preferred stock dividends and any related tax effects.

Bridgeline's management does not consider these Non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these Non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these Non-GAAP financial measures. To compensate for these limitations, Bridgeline management presents Non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. Bridgeline urges investors to review the reconciliation of its Non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which is included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Bridgeline's financial performance.

Our definitions of Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) may differ from and therefore may not be comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies, thereby limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. As a result of the limitations that Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) have as an analytical tool, investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP.
