Operational Highlights
- Total revenue of
$133.2 million was up193% year-over-year thanks to a combination of strong organic[3] growth and$62.5 million in revenue from the recent acquisitions of NuORDER, Vend, Upserve and ShopKeep. - Subscription and transaction-based revenue grew
203% year-over-year to$124.4 million thanks to a combination of strong organic growth and the recent acquisitions of NuORDER, Vend, Upserve and ShopKeep. Organic growth in subscription and transaction-based revenues was58% year-over-year. ARPU[2] increased year-over-year by59% to approximately$270 . - Subscription revenue of
$59.4 million increased132% year-over-year and was assisted by the recent acquisitions of NuORDER, Vend, Upserve and ShopKeep and the growing number of Customer Locations, which totaled approximately 156,000 at the end of the quarter, an increase of95% year-over-year. Gross customer location additions increased57% year over year and19% on an organic basis. Growth was also assisted by an increased number of customers adopting multiple software modules. - Transaction-based revenues of
$65.0 million grew by a total of320% year-over-year. The strong performance was a result of strong growth in GTV and an increasing portion of that GTV being processed through the Company's payments solutions. The Payments Penetration Rate was11% in the quarter as compared to5% in the same quarter last year. Our Payments Penetration Rate for U.S. retail and hospitality is now over20% . The recent acquisitions of ShopKeep, Upserve and Vend also contributed to our transaction-based revenue. - For the quarter, Lightspeed delivered GTV of
$18.8 billion up123% year-over-year. Retail GTV grew by115% whereas Hospitality GTV grew by131% . Organic GTV growth was39% year-over-year, with organic hospitality GTV growing at40% and organic omni-channel retail GTV growing at38% . - As compared to the previous quarter, Lightspeed saw faster GTV growth in areas with lower payments penetration, such as hospitality and EMEA, versus areas with higher payments penetration such as North America and omni-channel. Additionally, the Company saw significant GTV decline in this quarter versus the previous quarter within hospitality in the APAC region, down approximately
25% , largely due to lockdowns in the region. - As of September 30, 2021,
$4.6 million of Lightspeed Capital advances were outstanding, up30% from the previous quarter. The Company has recently started to advance Lightspeed Capital offerings to U.S. merchants inherited through the acquisition of Vend, in addition to Lightspeed customers and merchant bases inherited through the acquisitions of ShopKeep and Upserve. - Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was a loss of
$(8.7) million versus a loss of$(2.8) million in the same quarter last year. As a percent of revenues the EBITDA loss was (6.5)% versus (6.2)% for the same quarter last year. - After the quarter, the Company announced the availability of its flagship hospitality platform, Lightspeed Restaurant. Lightspeed Restaurant incorporates the best features of Lightspeed, Upserve, Gastrofix, Kounta and iKentoo into an industry-leading offering. The offering is already available in EMEA and North America and is expected to soon be rolled out to APAC customers.
- On October 1, 2021, Lightspeed closed the acquisition of Ecwid, further accelerating Lightspeed's transformation into a one-stop commerce platform. Ecwid was acquired for
$162.9 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and the issuance of 4,471,586 Lightspeed subordinate voting shares at closing, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. An additional 371,088 Lightspeed subordinate voting shares were issued at closing to certain Ecwid employees subject to a right of buyback for nominal consideration in favour of Lightspeed contingent on the continued employment of such employees over the next two years. Further, an additional$12.8 million in deferred cash consideration is payable, along with the future issuance of 41,411 Lightspeed subordinate voting shares and 49,875 restricted share units to certain Ecwid employees contingent on the continued employment of such employees over the next two years. Ecwid recently announced a partnership with TikTok that will help Lightspeed's merchants access core functions of TikTok For Business Ads Manager without needing to leave the platform.

Financial Outlook
Lightspeed's core business drivers remain strong with a growing number of locations, increased software adoption, expanding GTV and an increasing Payments Penetration Rate, all pointing to validation of our longer term opportunity. Our near term financial outlook incorporates uncertainties in the macro environment including the ongoing effects of COVID-19 in various markets, supply chain issues impacting merchants' ability to stock inventory, and our own ability to add new customers who require Lightspeed hardware owing to shortages in our own supply chains. Despite these challenges, the Company expects to deliver strong year over year growth for Q3 and fiscal 2022. Finally, given the growing share of transaction-based revenue within the revenue mix, seasonality is expected to become a bigger influence on quarterly revenue, particularly in the Company's fourth quarter. Having regard to these factors, Lightspeed expects revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to be in the following ranges:
Third Quarter 2022
- Revenue of
$140 -$145 million . - Adjusted EBITDA loss of approximately (
$10) to ($12) million , or approximately (8)% as a percentage of revenue.
Fiscal 2022
- Revenue of
$520 -$535 million . - Adjusted EBITDA loss of approximately (
$40) million to ($45) million , or approximately (8)% as a percentage of revenue.
When calculating the Adjusted EBITDA included in our financial outlook for the third quarter of FY2022, we considered IFRS measures including revenue, direct cost of revenue, and operating expenses. Our financial outlook is based on a number of assumptions, including that the jurisdictions in which Lightspeed has significant operations do not drastically strengthen or re-strengthen strict measures put in place to help slow the transmission of COVID-19 or put in place new or additional measures in response to the resurgence of the virus; requests for subscription pauses and churn rates owing to business failures remain in line with planned levels; our ability to grow our customer locations in line with our planned levels; revenue streams resulting from partner referrals remaining in line with historical rates (particularly in light of the continued expansion of Lightspeed Payments which competes with the solutions offered by some of these referral partners); customers adopting our payments processing solutions having an average GTV at or above that of our planned levels; future uptake of our payments processing solutions remaining in line with past rates and expectations; our ability to price our payments processing solutions in line with our expectations and to achieve suitable margins; our ability to achieve success in the continued expansion of Lightspeed Payments beyond North American customers; historical seasonal trends return to certain of our key verticals and impact our GTV and transaction-based revenues; continued success in module adoption expansion throughout our customer base; our ability to successfully integrate the companies we have acquired and to derive the benefits we expect from the acquisition thereof; our ability to attract and retain key personnel required to achieve our plans; our ability to manage customer churn; our ability to manage customer discount and payment deferral requests; and assumptions as to foreign exchange rates. Our financial outlook, including the various underlying assumptions, constitutes forward-looking information and should be read in conjunction with the cautionary statement on forward-looking information below. Many factors may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including but not limited to the risks and uncertainties related to: any pandemic such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the risk of any new or continued resurgence of the COVID-19 virus or any variants or mutations in our core geographies and the resulting impact on SMBs, including heightened levels of churn owing to business failures, requests for subscription pauses and delayed purchase decisions; our inability to attract and retain customers; our inability to increase customer sales; our inability to implement our growth strategy; our inability to continue the acceleration of the global rollout of Lightspeed Payments; our reliance on a small number of suppliers for parts of the technology in Lightspeed Payments; our ability to maintain sufficient levels of hardware inventory; our inability to improve and enhance the functionality, performance, reliability, design, security and scalability of our platform; our inability to compete against competitors; strategic relations with third parties; our reliance on integration of third-party payment processing solutions; compatibility of our solutions with third-party applications and systems; changes to technologies on which our platform is reliant; our inability to obtain, maintain and protect our intellectual property; risks relating to international operations, sales and use of our platform in various countries; our liquidity and capital resources; litigation and regulatory compliance; changes in tax laws and their application; our ability to expand our sales, marketing and support capability and capacity; maintaining our customer service levels and reputation; macroeconomic factors affecting small and medium-sized businesses; and exchange rate fluctuations. The purpose of the forward-looking information is to provide the reader with a description of management's expectations regarding our financial performance and may not be appropriate for other purposes.

Non-IFRS Measures
The information presented herein includes certain financial measures such as "Adjusted EBITDA", "Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue", "Adjusted Loss", "Adjusted Loss per Share (EPS)", and "Adjusted Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities". These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. These non-IFRS measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus may highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Our management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation.
"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as net loss excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, as adjusted for stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes, compensation expenses relating to acquisitions completed, foreign exchange gains and losses, transaction-related costs, restructuring and litigation provisions.
"Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue" is calculated by dividing our Adjusted EBITDA by our revenue.
"Adjusted Loss" is defined as net loss excluding amortization of intangibles, as adjusted for stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes, compensation expenses relating to acquisitions completed, transaction-related costs, restructuring, litigation provisions and deferred income tax expense (recovery).
"Adjusted Loss per Share (EPS)" is defined as net loss excluding amortization of intangibles, as adjusted for stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes, compensation expenses relating to acquisitions completed, transaction-related costs, restructuring, litigation provisions and deferred income tax expense (recovery) divided by the weighted average number of common shares (basic and diluted).
"Adjusted Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities" is defined as cash flows used in operating activities as adjusted for the payment of payroll taxes on stock-based compensation, the payment of compensation expenses relating to acquisitions completed, the payment of transaction costs assumed through recent acquisitions, the payment of transaction-related costs, the payment of restructuring costs and indemnification payments received.
See the financial tables below for a reconciliation of the non-IFRS financial measures.
Key Performance Indicators
We monitor the following key performance indicators to help us evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. These key performance indicators are also used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use industry metrics in the evaluation of issuers. Our key performance indicators may be calculated in a manner different than similar key performance indicators used by other companies.
ARPU. "Average Revenue Per User" or "ARPU" represents the total subscription revenue and transaction-based revenue of the Company in the period divided by the number of Customer Locations of the Company in the period. For greater clarity and consistent with how we have historically calculated ARPU, the number of Customer Locations of the Company in the period is calculated by taking the average number of Customer Locations throughout the period.
Customer Locations. "Customer Location" means a billing merchant location for which the term of services have not ended, or with which we are negotiating a renewal contract, and, in the case of NuORDER, a brand with a direct or indirect paid subscription for which the terms of services have not ended or in respect of which we are negotiating a subscription renewal. A single unique customer can have multiple Customer Locations including physical and eCommerce sites and in the case of NuORDER, multiple subscriptions. The acquisition of Ecwid was completed on October 1, 2021, and so the impact of that acquisition is not reflected in our Customer Locations count as of September 30, 2021. Note that the definition of Customer Locations has been adjusted to include brands with direct or indirect paid subscriptions given the recent acquisition of NuORDER.
Gross Transaction Volume. "Gross Transaction Volume" or "GTV" means the total dollar value of transactions processed through our cloud-based SaaS platform, excluding amounts processed through the NuORDER solution, in the period, net of refunds, inclusive of shipping and handling, duty and value-added taxes. We believe GTV is an indicator of the success of our customers and the strength of our platform. GTV does not represent revenue earned by us. We have excluded amounts processed through the NuORDER solution from our GTV because they represent business-to-business volume rather than business-to-consumer volume and we do not currently have a robust payments solution for business-to-business volume.
Payments Penetration Rate. "Payments Penetration Rate" means (i) the total dollar value of transactions processed in the period through our payments solutions in respect of which we act as the principal in the arrangement with the customer, net of refunds, inclusive of shipping and handling, duty and value-added taxes, divided by (ii) GTV. We believe that our Payments Penetration Rate demonstrates the extent to which we have capitalized on the payments opportunity within our customer base.
