Financial Analyst

Crexendo's Q2 2024 results demonstrate robust growth and improved profitability. The $14.7 million revenue, up 16% YoY, coupled with a 220% increase in net income to $0.6 million, signals strong operational execution. The standout performer was the software solutions segment, growing 35% YoY to $5.3 million.

Key positives include:

• Non-GAAP net income up 91% to $2.1 million
• Improved cash position: $13.6 million vs $10.3 million at year-end 2023
• Positive operating cash flow of $2.5 million for H1 2024

These results indicate Crexendo's strategy is paying off, with potential for sustained growth and improved margins. However, investors should monitor the slight decline in product revenue and rising operating expenses.

Tech Industry Analyst

Crexendo's Q2 performance underscores the growing demand for cloud communication platforms. The 35% growth in software solutions revenue reflects the company's strong positioning in this rapidly evolving sector. This aligns with broader industry trends as businesses increasingly adopt cloud-based communication tools.

The company's ability to grow service revenue by 10% while expanding its software segment suggests a successful transition towards higher-margin offerings. This shift could enhance Crexendo's competitive position against larger players in the unified communications market.

However, the 10% decline in product revenue warrants attention. It may indicate a faster-than-expected shift to software-centric solutions or potential supply chain challenges. Monitoring this trend in future quarters will be important for assessing Crexendo's overall market strategy and execution.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To evaluate our business, we consider and use non-generally accepted accounting principles ("Non-GAAP") net income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of operating performance. These measures include the same adjustments that management takes into account when it reviews and assesses operating performance on a period-to-period basis. We consider Non-GAAP net income to be an important indicator of overall business performance because it allows us to evaluate results without the effects of share-based compensation, acquisition related expenses, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, amortization of intangibles, and goodwill and long-lived asset impairment. We define EBITDA as U.S. GAAP net income/(loss) before interest expense, interest income and other expense/(income), the gain/(loss) on the sale of property and equipment, goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, provision/(benefit) for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA provides a useful metric to investors to compare us with other companies within our industry and across industries. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for acquisition related expenses, changes in fair value of contingent consideration and share-based compensation. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. We also believe use of Adjusted EBITDA facilitates investors' use of operating performance comparisons from period to period, as well as across companies.

In our August 6, 2024 earnings press release, as furnished on Form 8-K, we included Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The terms Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S. GAAP, and are not measures of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income/(loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to:

• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

• they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

• they do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt that we may incur;

• they do not reflect income taxes or the cash requirements for any tax payments;

• although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will be replaced sometime in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

• while share-based compensation is a component of operating expense, the impact on our financial statements compared to other companies can vary significantly due to such factors as the assumed life of the options and the assumed volatility of our common stock; and

• other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental support for management's analysis of business performance. Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows for the periods presented.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In accordance with the requirements of Regulation G issued by the SEC, we are presenting the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and reconciling the unaudited Non-GAAP financial metrics to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures.
