Insights

The reported quarterly revenue growth of 4% year-over-year for Evolv Technology indicates a modest increase in sales, which is a positive signal for investors and stakeholders. However, the more significant figure here is the 120% increase in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). This suggests that the company is successfully transitioning to a subscription-based model, which is highly valued by the market for its predictability and potential for stable, long-term income streams.

Despite these positive revenue trends, the company's net loss has decreased year-over-year, which may be seen as an improvement in cost management or operational efficiency. However, the fact that the company is still operating at a loss is a concern and warrants a close examination of their spending, especially in the context of their adjusted EBITDA which remains negative. The reaffirmation of the 2024 business outlook suggests management confidence in the company's strategic direction, but investors should monitor the progression towards profitability closely.

The 99% year-over-year increase in Evolv Express® subscriptions reflects a strong market demand for AI-based security solutions. This could be attributed to heightened security concerns and the growing acceptance of AI technology in public safety. The company's positioning in this niche market is likely to benefit from these trends, potentially increasing its market share and investor interest in the security technology sector.

However, the 66% increase in Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) suggests that while there is significant contracted future revenue, the company must ensure successful delivery and customer satisfaction to realize these revenues. This can impact future financial performance and should be tracked by investors as an indicator of the company’s ability to grow and maintain its customer base.

With a solid cash reserve of $118.7 million and no debt, Evolv Technology appears to be in a strong liquidity position. This financial stability is crucial for supporting ongoing operations and investing in growth initiatives. It also provides a buffer against economic downturns or shifts in the security technology industry. The company's ability to manage its cash flow in the face of significant net losses will be an important factor in its long-term viability and capacity to capitalize on market opportunities.

Additionally, the improvement in net cash used in operating activities from $74.7 million in 2022 to $9.8 million in 2023 demonstrates a substantial enhancement in the company's cash management. This improvement is critical for sustaining operations without the need for external financing, which could dilute shareholder value.

  • Q4 Revenue of $21.8 million, up 4% year-over-year

  • Q4 Ending RPO2 of $240.5 million, up 66% year-over-year
  • Q4 Ending Evolv Express® subscriptions of 4,505, up 99% year-over-year

1 We define Annual Recurring Revenue, or ARR, as subscription revenue and the recurring service revenue related to purchase subscriptions for the final month of the quarter normalized to a one-year period. Our calculation of ARR is not adjusted for the impact of any known or projected future events (such as customer cancellations, upgrades or downgrades, or price increases or decreases) that may cause any such contract not to be renewed on its existing terms. In addition, the amount of actual revenue that we recognize over any 12-month period is likely to differ from ARR at the beginning of that period, sometimes significantly. This may occur due to new bookings, cancellations, upgrades, downgrades or other changes in pending renewals, as well as the effects of professional services revenue and acquisitions or divestitures. As a result, ARR should be viewed independently of, and not as a substitute for or forecast of, revenue and deferred revenue. Our calculation of ARR may differ from similarly titled metrics presented by other companies.

2 We define Remaining Performance Obligation, or RPO, as estimated revenues expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied as of the end of the quarter.

3 Non-GAAP Financial Measures In this press release, the Company’s adjusted gross profit (loss), adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings (loss), and adjusted earnings per basic and diluted share are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of results of operations. Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin exclude one-time items and stock-based compensation expense which management believes provides a more meaningful representation of contribution margin. Adjusted operating expenses is defined as operating expenses less one-time items, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expenses, and loss on impairment of lease equipment which management believes provides a more meaningful representation of on-going operating expense levels. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and certain other one-time expenses. Adjusted earnings (loss) is defined as net income (loss) plus stock-based compensation, change in fair value of derivative liability, change in fair value of contingent earn-out liability, change in fair value of contingently issuable common stock liability, change in fair value of public warrant liability, change in fair value of common stock warrant liability, restructuring expenses, loss on impairment of lease equipment, and certain other one-time expenses. Management presents non-GAAP financial measures because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of performance. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including analysis of the Company's performance against prior periods, the preparation of operating budgets and to determine appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. Management also believes non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the Company's financial and operating performance. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and are not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We intend to provide non-GAAP financial measures as part of our future earnings discussions and, therefore, the inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures will provide consistency in our financial reporting. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included in this press release. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted Gross Margin to GAAP Gross Margin and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss), each measure's most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort, because items that impact these GAAP financial measures are not within the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. These items may include, but are not limited to, predicting forward-looking share-based compensation, changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities, changes in the fair value of contingent earn out liabilities, changes in the fair value of contingently issuable common stock liabilities and changes in fair value of public warrant liabilities. Such information may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on the Company’s future financial results.

4 Recurring revenue includes the recurring portion of revenue associated with pure subscription contracts and hardware purchase subscription contracts. Non-recurring revenue includes revenue that is one-time in nature, such as product revenue, shipping revenue, and revenue from installation, training, and professional services.
