Jack Abuhoff, CEO, said, "We are pleased to announce today a strong first quarter, with revenue up
"This momentum in terms of landing new customers and expanding our business with existing customers has been quite exciting. In the quarter, we added 121 new logos across our segments. This is a
Abuhoff continued, "We had mentioned in our last call that we had established relationships across a number of Silicon Valley big tech companies. The pilots for potentially large programs at these companies, that we estimate spend billions of dollars on products and services that we believe we are well positioned to provide, are now underway.
"We also achieved business expansion across dozens of our existing customers that span the spectrum from the fastest growing social media companies to large insurance and financial services companies.
"To capitalize on our large and growing market opportunity, we are aggressively investing in our sales and marketing efforts as well as new product development to accelerate our growth in 2023 and beyond. We believe these are high ROI investments - we target the long-term value of new customers from these investments to be 3x to 5x our customer acquisition costs. In 2022, we anticipate increasing sales and marketing spend by approximately

"We also believe that we are well-positioned in the current uncertain economic environment of recession/stagflation fears, labor shortages and capital markets disruptions. We believe that we are well-positioned to withstand these evolving economic challenges for two main reasons: (1) our services lower costs for our customers, which becomes a core focus in tough times; and (2) we make our customers more efficient, enabling them to tackle the labor shortages they are experiencing. The increasing momentum we see in our business is a testament to the growing secular demand for our offerings in these challenging times."
Abuhoff concluded, "We are quite pleased with our execution, product validation, and the tailwinds from the growth in our markets. We believe more firmly than ever in the blue-sky growth opportunities in front of us and remain laser focused on execution and shareholder value creation."
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP ("GAAP"), we provide certain non-GAAP financial information. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in making comparisons of period-to-period operating results. In some respects, management believes non-GAAP financial measures are more indicative of our ongoing core operating performance than their GAAP equivalents by making adjustments that management believes are reflective of the ongoing performance of the business.
We believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial information provides investors with greater transparency by providing investors a more complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position, and prospects for the future, particularly by providing the same information that management and our Board of Directors uses to evaluate our performance and manage the business. However, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Press Release have certain limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures that we present may differ from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Innodata Inc. and its subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets (which derives EBITDA), plus additional adjustments for loss on impairment of intangibles assets and goodwill, stock-based compensation, income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests and other one-time costs. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate core results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believe that these measures are important components of our internal performance measurement process.
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the tables that accompany this release.
