Insights

The Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) growth of 27% for Cellebrite, as reported, is a strong indicator of the company's ability to increase its revenue base consistently, which is a crucial metric for investors assessing the sustainability of a company's growth. ARR is particularly significant for companies offering subscription-based services, as it reflects a predictable and stable revenue stream. The reported 26% year-over-year growth in Q4 revenue, primarily driven by a similar increase in subscription revenue, suggests that the company is successfully expanding its customer base or increasing sales to existing customers.

The reported Adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.4% for Q4 and 19% for the full year is a positive sign of operational efficiency and profitability. Adjusted EBITDA is often used by investors to evaluate a company's core profitability by removing the effects of non-cash expenses and other one-time items that may obscure the true operating performance. The surpassing of the 'Rule of 45', which is a benchmark suggesting that the sum of growth rate and EBITDA margin should exceed 45%, indicates robust financial health and may attract investor interest, as it is seen as a balance between growth and profitability.

However, the GAAP net loss figures, including a $14.6 million loss for Q4 and an $81.1 million loss for the full year, warrant a closer examination. These losses may raise concerns about the company's cost management and the sustainability of its growth in the absence of non-GAAP adjustments. Investors should analyze the reasons behind these losses, such as whether they are due to significant investments in growth or other one-time expenses.

The digital investigative solutions sector is rapidly growing, fueled by the increasing need for sophisticated tools to analyze and manage digital evidence. Cellebrite's introduction of the Case-to-Closure (C2C) platform represents a strategic move to consolidate its position in this market by offering a comprehensive suite of solutions. The platform's components—Inseyets, Pathfinder and Guardian—are designed to streamline various aspects of digital investigations, from data extraction to analytics and evidence management. By enhancing its product portfolio, Cellebrite is likely aiming to increase its market share and create additional value for its customers, which could translate into higher ARR and customer retention rates.

The expansion of customer relationships, as seen with one of the largest U.S. police departments and the company's involvement in events like Milipol, are indicative of its proactive go-to-market strategy. These efforts are likely to contribute to the company's visibility and credibility within the law enforcement and homeland security sectors, potentially leading to further growth opportunities.

While the financial results are primarily of interest to financial analysts and investors, the legal landscape in which Cellebrite operates is also significant. The company's products and services are subject to various legal and regulatory considerations, particularly concerning data privacy and the handling of digital evidence. The introduction of the C2C platform and its components must comply with these regulations, which can vary widely by jurisdiction. Additionally, Cellebrite's collaboration with organizations like the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children in 'Operation Find Them All' underscores the company's commitment to ethical applications of its technology and may positively influence its reputation and customer relations.

Cellebrite’s C2C platform is composed of three flagship solutions: (1) Cellebrite Inseyets, an enhanced, automated digital forensics software solution designed to transform access, extraction and decoding of digital data across the broadest range of mobile phones and other digital sources; (2) Pathfinder, an AI-powered analytics solution that enables investigators to expedite cases by surfacing leads and identifying connections buried within mountains of structured and unstructured data across multiple digital devices; and (3) Guardian, Cellebrite’s secure, scalable SaaS-based solution for evidence sharing, review and management.

We move into 2024 with attractive prospects to build further momentum and expand our business. Consistent with historical trends, we expect 52% to 55% of full-year revenue to be generated in the second half of 2024 as we build momentum for customer upgrades to our new Inseyets solution. Our 2024 outlook for profitability balances the opportunity for further improvement with thoughtful investment in our go-to-market activities and key technology and innovation initiatives, which are critical for long-term success.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information and Key Performance Indicators

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures. Cellebrite believes that the use of non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating income and adjusted EBITDA is helpful to investors. These measures, which the Company refers to as our non-GAAP financial measures, are not prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide a more meaningful comparison of its operational performance from period to period and offers investors and management greater visibility into the underlying performance of its business. Mainly:

  • Share-based compensation expenses utilize varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and a variety of equity instruments that can impact a company's non-cash expense;
  • Acquired intangible assets are valued at the time of acquisition and are amortized over an estimated useful life after the acquisition, and acquisition-related expenses are unrelated to current operations and neither are comparable to the prior period nor predictive of future results;
  • To the extent that the above adjustments have an effect on tax (income) expense, such an effect is excluded in the non-GAAP adjustment to net income;
  • Tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense vary for many reasons that are often unrelated to our underlying performance and make period-to-period comparisons more challenging; and
  • Financial instruments are remeasured according to GAAP and vary for many reasons that are often unrelated to the Company’s current operations and affect financial income.

Each of our non-GAAP financial measures is an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating our own operating results over different periods of time. The non-GAAP financial measures do not represent our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to operating income or net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolated from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. Further, share-based compensation expense has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of the compensation provided to our employees. In addition, the amortization of intangible assets is expected recurring expense over the estimated useful life of the underlying intangible asset and acquisition-related expenses will be incurred to the extent acquisitions are made in the future. Furthermore, foreign exchange rates may fluctuate from one period to another, and the Company does not estimate movements in foreign currencies.

A reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP measure is set forth in a table included at the end of this press release, which is also available on our website at https://investors.cellebrite.com.

A reconciliation for Adjusted EBITDA referred to in our “Financial Outlook” is not provided because, as a forward-looking statement, such reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort due to the high variability, complexity, and difficulty of estimating certain items such as charges to share-based compensation expense and currency fluctuations which could have an impact on our consolidated results. The Company believes the information provided is useful to investors because it can be considered in the context of the Company’s historical disclosures of this measure.

Annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) is defined as the annualized value of active term-based subscription license contracts and maintenance contracts related to perpetual licenses in effect at the end of that period. Term-based license contracts and maintenance contracts for perpetual licenses are annualized by multiplying the revenue of the last month of the period by 12. The annualized value of contracts is a legal and contractual determination made by assessing the contractual terms with our customers. The annualized value of maintenance contracts is not determined by reference to historical revenue, deferred revenue or any other GAAP financial measure over any period. ARR is not a forecast of future revenues, which can be impacted by contract start and end dates and renewal rates.
