Insights

The reported fourth quarter revenue of $78.1 million and full year revenue of $312.9 million by Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. indicates a marginal increase from the previous year's revenue, suggesting a stable but slow growth trajectory for the company. The slight uptick in annual revenue, from $310.5 million in 2022 to $312.9 million in 2023, reflects a conservative year-over-year growth rate of 0.8%. This may signal to stakeholders that while the company is maintaining revenue streams, it is not achieving significant growth in a highly competitive digital transformation industry.

Furthermore, the diversification of the company's industry mix, with a decreased reliance on the Retail vertical, could be seen as a strategic move to mitigate risk and capitalize on growth opportunities across various sectors. The Finance vertical's growth of 13.4% and the TMT vertical's growth of 1.9% on a sequential basis are positive indicators of the company's successful penetration into these markets. However, the unchanged revenue in the CPG and Manufacturing vertical could point to potential stagnation or market saturation in that segment.

Grid Dynamics' expansion in India, with the opening of a third office in Bengaluru, aligns with the company's strategy to leverage a 'follow-the-sun' model for global delivery. This could enhance their appeal to enterprise clients by providing round-the-clock services and tapping into the skilled workforce in the region. Nevertheless, the impact of this expansion on the company's bottom line will be important to monitor in subsequent quarters.

The reported GAAP net income of $2.9 million in Q4 2023, a shift from a net loss of $6.7 million in Q4 2022, is a significant turnaround for Grid Dynamics. This improvement in profitability, despite flat sequential quarterly revenue and a year-over-year decrease, is notable. The increase in GAAP gross profit margin to 36.0% from the previous year's 40.1% may raise concerns about cost management and pricing power within the industry.

The company's Non-GAAP measures, such as EBITDA, which decreased from $16.5 million in Q4 2022 to $10.7 million in Q4 2023 and Non-GAAP net income, which also saw a decline from $10.5 million to $5.7 million, suggest that while the company is profitable on a non-GAAP basis, it is experiencing pressure on its earnings. Investors could view these mixed financial results with caution, balancing the positive net income against the context of declining profitability metrics.

The financial outlook for Q1 2024, with expected revenue between $77 million and $79 million and Non-GAAP EBITDA between $9.5 million and $10.5 million, provides a conservative forecast. This guidance, alongside the inability to provide GAAP net income targets due to unpredictable items, may introduce an element of uncertainty regarding the company's future financial performance.

The emphasis on AI across all industry practices and the recognition by major hyperscalers for AI capabilities could position Grid Dynamics as a strong player in the digital transformation space. The strategic partnerships that influenced 13% of the company's total revenue in 2023 underscore the importance of alliances in driving business growth. This focus on AI and technical skills is critical as businesses increasingly seek to integrate AI into their operations to drive innovation and efficiency.

The company's performance in the Technology, Media and Telecom (TMT) vertical, as well as the addition of new enterprise logos including a large insurance company and a healthcare company, suggests Grid Dynamics is expanding its footprint and is becoming a more integral part of the digital strategy for diverse industries. This diversification could serve as a buffer against market volatility and sector-specific downturns.

However, the flat revenue in the CPG and Manufacturing vertical might indicate a need for renewed strategies to stimulate growth in these areas. Additionally, the company's expansion in India suggests an investment in global talent and an attempt to optimize cost structures, which could be crucial in maintaining competitive pricing and operational efficiency in a rapidly evolving tech landscape.

Fourth Quarter Revenue of $78.1 million and Full Year Revenue of $312.9 million

SAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: GDYN) (“Grid Dynamics”, “the Company”), a leader in enterprise-level digital transformation, today announced results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

We are very pleased to report revenue of $78.1 million in the fourth quarter 2023 that was higher than our outlook range of $76 million to $78 million that we provided in November 2023. For the full year 2023, we achieved revenue of $312.9 million, up from $310.5 million in 2022. In the fourth quarter we continued to diversify our industry mix. Notable highlights included the following. Our Technology, Media and Telecom (“TMT”) vertical, at 31.0% of our fourth quarter revenue, rebounded and grew 1.9% on a sequential basis, driven by our large technology customers. Our Finance vertical, representing 10.6% of our fourth quarter revenue, grew 13.4% on a sequential basis. This was largely due to growth from our existing customers and new logos. And Other vertical, including life sciences and pharmaceutical customers, representing 14.5% of our fourth quarter revenue, grew 11.5% on a sequential basis. Also, our CPG and Manufacturing vertical, representing 12.4% of our fourth quarter revenue, remained unchanged on a sequential basis. As a result of our continued efforts of diversifying our business, our reliance on the Retail vertical diminished, representing 31.5% of our fourth quarter revenue, down from 34.3% on a sequential basis.

“I am pleased to report that the demand environment is improving and this should favorably support our business in 2024. There were many positives in this quarter. We added five new enterprise logos. Notable inclusions were a large insurance company and a healthcare company. AI is now infused across all of our industry practices, with many new customers embracing AI in their solutions. Customers recognize Grid Dynamics engineering quality in India leading to our growth in the region. As such, we are expanding our footprint beyond our two offices in Hyderabad and Chennai and opening a third office in Bengaluru.

The last twelve months have proven that the company is adept in navigating uncertainties as we executed across multiple areas of our business. In 2023 we added 33 enterprise customers, scaled our delivery locations across Poland, India, and Mexico, three areas strategic to a follow-the-sun model, enhanced our sales and R&D organizations with greater industry expertise, especially in supply-chain, manufacturing, financial services, and pharmaceutical. We were recognized by hyperscalers such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft for our AI capabilities and other technical skills. In 2023, our partnership influenced business reached 13% of our total revenue. This is impressive given that we embarked on this strategy in 2021, and within a short period of two years we achieved these results. I am very proud of the Company’s achievements and I would like to thank all our employees for their contribution and perseverance,” said Leonard Livschitz, CEO.

Cash Flow and Other Metrics

Grid Dynamics is not able, at this time, to provide GAAP targets for net income for the first quarter of 2024 because of the difficulty of estimating certain items excluded from non-GAAP EBITDA that cannot be reasonably predicted, such as interest, taxes, other income, fair-value adjustments, geographic reorganization expenses, and charges related to stock-based compensation expense. The effect of these excluded items may be significant.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial measures presented in Grid Dynamics press release in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company also presents non-GAAP measures of financial performance.

A “non-GAAP financial measure” refers to a numerical measure of Grid Dynamics historical or future financial performance or financial position that is included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Grid Dynamics provides certain non-GAAP measures as additional information relating to its operating results as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a measure of liquidity and profitability.

Grid Dynamics has included these non-GAAP financial measures because they are financial measures used by Grid Dynamics’ management to evaluate Grid Dynamics’ core operating performance and trends, to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments and are among the factors analyzed in making performance-based compensation decisions for key personnel.

Grid Dynamics believes the use of non-GAAP financial measures, as a supplement to GAAP measures, is useful to investors in that they eliminate items that are either not part of core operations or do not require a cash outlay, such as stock-based compensation expense. Grid Dynamics believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors and other users of its financial information consistency and comparability with its past financial performance and facilitate period to period comparisons of operations. Grid Dynamics believes these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating its operating performance compared to that of other companies in its industry, as they generally eliminate the effects of certain items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, these measures may differ from the non-GAAP information, even where similarly titled, used by other companies and therefore should not be used to compare our performance to that of other companies. Grid Dynamics compensates for these limitations by providing investors and other users of its financial information a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the related GAAP financial measures. Grid Dynamics encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view its non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures. Please see the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures attached to this release.

Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are not historical facts, and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results of Grid Dynamics to differ materially from those expected and projected. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the words “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” “potential,” “projects,” “predicts,” “continue,” or “should,” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the quotations of management, the section titled “Financial Outlook,” and statements concerning Grid Dynamics’s expectations with respect to future performance, particularly in light of the macroeconomic environment and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as its GigaCube strategy.

These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside Grid Dynamics’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (i) Grid Dynamics has a relatively short operating history and operates in a rapidly evolving industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate future prospects and may increase the risk that it will not continue to be successful and may adversely impact our stock price; (ii) Grid Dynamics may be unable to effectively manage its growth or achieve anticipated growth, particularly as it expands into new geographies, which could place significant strain on Grid Dynamics’ management personnel, systems and resources; (iii) Grid Dynamics’ revenues are highly dependent on a limited number of clients and industries that are affected by seasonal trends, and any decrease in demand for outsourced services in these industries may reduce Grid Dynamics’ revenues and adversely affect Grid Dynamics’ business, financial condition and results of operations; (iv) macroeconomic conditions, inflationary pressures, and the geopolitical climate, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, have and may continue to materially adversely affect our stock price, business operations, overall financial performance and growth prospects; (v) Grid Dynamics’ revenues are highly dependent on clients primarily located in the United States, and any economic downturn in the United States or in other parts of the world, including Europe or disruptions in the credit markets may have a material adverse effect on Grid Dynamics’ business, financial condition and results of operations; (vi) Grid Dynamics faces intense and increasing competition; (vii) Grid Dynamics’ failure to successfully attract, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly skilled personnel could materially adversely affect Grid Dynamics’ business, financial condition and results of operations; (viii) failure to adapt to rapidly changing technologies, methodologies and evolving industry standards may have a material adverse effect on Grid Dynamics’ business, financial condition and results of operations; (ix) failure to successfully deliver contracted services or causing disruptions to clients’ businesses may have a material adverse effect on Grid Dynamics’ reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations; (x) risks and costs related to acquiring and integrating other companies; and (xi) other risks and uncertainties indicated in Grid Dynamics filings with the SEC.

Grid Dynamics cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Grid Dynamics cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Grid Dynamics does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. Further information about factors that could materially affect Grid Dynamics, including its results of operations and financial condition, is set forth under the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed November 2, 2023 and in other periodic filings Grid Dynamics makes with the SEC.

__________________________

(1)

Geographic reorganization includes expenses connected with military actions of Russia against Ukraine and the exit plan announced by the Company and includes travel and relocation-related expenses of employees from the aforementioned countries, severance payments, allowances, as well as legal and professional fees related to geographic repositioning in various locations. These expenses are incremental to those expenses incurred prior to the crisis, clearly separable from normal operations, and not expected to recur once the crisis has subsided and operations return to normal.

(2)

Transaction and transformation-related costs include, when applicable, external deal costs, transaction-related professional fees, transaction-related retention bonuses, which are allocated proportionally across cost of revenue, engineering, research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses as well as other transaction-related costs including integration expenses consisting of outside professional and consulting services.

(3)

We implemented a restructuring plan during the first quarter of 2023. Our restructuring costs comprised of severance charges and respective taxes and are included in General and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of income/(loss) and comprehensive income/(loss).

(4)

Other (income)/expenses, net consist primarily of losses and gains on foreign currency transactions, fair value adjustments, and other miscellaneous non-operating expenses and other income consists primarily of interest on cash held at banks and returns on investments in money-market funds.
