Financial Expectations

LivePerson is entering 2021 with strong momentum. Demand for Conversational AI has hit an inflection point, highlighted by a record-breaking number of seven-figure deals. Volumes on Conversational Cloud continue to accelerate and LivePerson's revenue run rate is ahead of plan.

With this backdrop, the Company is targeting a revenue range of $458 million to $466 million, or 25% to 27% revenue growth in 2021, compared to 26% growth in 2020 and up from 17% growth in 2019. The Company is guiding for first quarter revenue growth of 32% to 33% to a range of $103 million to $104 million.

Regarding profitability, the Company is expecting to accelerate investments in go-to-market capacity and product development in the first half of 2021 while continuing to realize efficiency gains from internal automation. With this in mind, the Company is guiding for 2021 adjusted EBITDA range of $33.5 million to $41.5 million or 7% to 9% margin. First quarter adjusted EBITDA is estimated to be in a range of $5.0 million to $7.0 million or 5% to 7% margin.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Investors are cautioned that the following financial measures used in this press release are defined as "non-GAAP financial measures" by the Securities and Exchange Commission: adjusted EBITDA, or earnings/(loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes, interest income (expense), other expense (income), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring costs, acquisition costs and other costs; and adjusted operating income, or operating income excluding amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring costs, acquisition costs, deferred tax asset valuation allowance, and other costs.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information to GAAP financial information is not a financial measure under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, non-GAAP financial information should not be construed as an alternative to any other measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity or cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities as there may be significant factors or trends that it fails to address. We present non-GAAP financial information because we believe that it is helpful to some investors as one measure of our operations

(5)  Includes other litigation costs of $4.4 million, consulting costs of $3.2 million, and fair value earn-out adjustment of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Please refer to footnote (4) above for additional information related to the nature of these other litigation costs.

(7) Includes lease restructuring costs of $24.3 million and severance and other compensation related costs of $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company's lease restructuring costs relate to a transition to an employee-centric workforce model that does not rely on traditional offices, while the severance and other compensation costs relate to the Company re-prioritizing and reallocating resources to focus on areas showing high growth potential.
(8) Includes severance costs and associated costs of $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The Company's restructuring costs relate to resource reallocation for the Company's platform transformation.
(9) Includes severance and associated costs of $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The restructuring costs relate to resource reallocation for the Company's platform transformation.
(10) Includes shares related to the Convertible Senior Notes issued in March 2019. Since the Company expects to settle the principal amount of its outstanding Convertible Senior Notes in cash and any excess in shares of the Company's common stock, the Company uses the treasury stock method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the conversion spread on diluted net income per share, if applicable. The conversion spread will have a dilutive impact on diluted net income per share of common stock when the average market price of the Company's common stock for a given period exceeds the conversion price of $38.58 per share for the Notes. The conversion spread is calculated using the average market price of common stock during the period, consistent with the treasury stock method. The conversion spread had an anti-dilutive impact for the Convertible Senior Notes issued in December 2020, since the average market price of the Company's stock during the period was less than the initial conversion price of $75.23 per share.
