Rhea-AI Summary

Olo Inc. (NYSE:OLO) announced its first-quarter 2024 financial results, showing impressive growth with a 27% increase in revenue and a 29% increase in ARPU year-over-year. The company's new partnerships and platform enhancements are poised to drive further growth and improve guest experiences. Financially, Olo reported positive figures across revenue, gross profit, operating income, and net income. The company also highlighted strong cash reserves and active locations, indicating a solid financial position. Olo's outlook for the second quarter and fiscal year 2024 shows continued growth and profitability expectations.

Positive
  • Impressive 27% year-over-year revenue growth and 29% ARPU increase in Q1 2024.

  • New partnerships with NCR Voyix and Qu to enhance guest data access and launch full-stack Pay functionality.

  • Total platform revenue up 28% year-over-year, with strong gross profit and non-GAAP operating income growth.

  • Healthy cash reserves of $377.4 million and total shares repurchased of 2.8 million for $15.2 million.

  • Positive business highlights with newly announced POS integrations, enterprise deployments, and product enhancements.

  • Olo's outlook for Q2 2024 and fiscal year 2024 projects continued revenue growth and non-GAAP operating income.

Negative
  • Operating loss of $7.2 million, though improved from the previous year, still impacts total revenue.

  • Net loss of $2.4 million and non-GAAP net income of $7.8 million highlight fluctuations in profitability.

  • Total shares repurchased for $15.2 million may affect shareholder dilution, with $6.9 million remaining on the authorization.

Insights

Observing Olo's 27% year-over-year revenue growth and a substantial improvement in non-GAAP operating margin to 8%, one can deduce a promising trajectory in operational efficiency and market demand for their services. The company's strategic partnerships with NCR Voyix and Qu point towards a notable expansion in Olo's service capabilities, particularly in omnichannel guest data, which could be a game-changer for personalized customer experiences—a significant value proposition in today's competitive landscape. However, an operating loss of $7.2 million highlights the investments and costs associated with such expansions.

The improvement from a net loss of $13.7 million to $2.4 million year-over-year signals a stronger command over financial health, especially given the increase in ARPU by 29%. The share repurchase program, with $93.1 million already utilized, suggests confidence from management in the intrinsic value of the stock, potentially signaling a bullish sentiment to investors. This might be countered by the fact that gross profit as a percentage of total revenue saw a decline, suggesting cost pressures that investors should watch closely.

From a market dynamics perspective, Olo's new POS integrations signify an intention to capture a broader share of the market by tapping into the extensive vein of non-digital transactions. Notably, more than 80% of restaurant industry transactions still occur outside the digital domain, presenting a substantial growth opportunity for Olo's full-stack Pay functionality.

The rapid adoption of their platform by fast-casual and fast-growing chains like Quiznos and Dutch Bros demonstrates Olo's strong market fit and the potential for cross-selling of additional modules. Their outlook for the second quarter and the full fiscal year remains optimistic, with expected increases in revenue and non-GAAP operating income. This forward-looking guidance, paired with a dollar-based net revenue retention above 120%, indicates not just customer satisfaction but also an expansion in customer spend over time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Metrics

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, we refer to non-GAAP financial measures that are derived on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. We use non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, in conjunction with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP for planning purposes, including in the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of our core operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance. These measures provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance as measured by such non-GAAP figures, facilitate period-to-period comparisons of core operating results, and assist shareholders in better evaluating us by presenting period-over-period operating results without the effect of certain charges or benefits that may not be consistent or comparable across periods or compared to other registrants’ similarly named non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators.

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Because our non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

The following are the non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this press release and presented in the tables below: non-GAAP gross profit (total and each line item, and total and each non-GAAP gross profit item on a margin basis as a percentage of revenue), non-GAAP operating expenses (each line item and each non-GAAP operating expense item on a margin basis as a percentage of revenue), non-GAAP operating income (and on a margin basis as a percentage of revenue), non-GAAP net income (and on a per share basis), and free cash flow.

We adjust our GAAP financial measures for the following items: stock-based compensation expense (non-cash expense calculated by companies using a variety of valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions) and related payroll tax expense, certain litigation-related expenses, net of recoveries (which relate to legal and other professional fees associated with litigation-related matters that are not indicative of our core operations and are not part of our normal course of business), loss on disposal of assets, capitalized internal-use software and intangible amortization (non-cash expense), certain severance costs, and transaction costs (typically incurred within one year of the related acquisition, as well as the related tax impacts of the acquisition). Beginning in the second quarter of 2023, we have included the tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments in determining non-GAAP net income. We determined this amount by utilizing a federal rate plus a net state rate that excluded the impact of net operating losses, or NOLs, and valuation allowances to calculate a non-GAAP blended statutory rate, which we then applied to all non-GAAP adjustments. The prior period non-GAAP net income presentation has also been revised to include the tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments and conforms with the new presentation.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP operating income guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity, and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures; in particular, the measures and effects of stock-based compensation expense and related payroll tax expense specific to equity compensation awards that are directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in our stock price. We expect the variability of the above charges to have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Management believes that it is useful to exclude certain non-cash charges and non-core operational charges from our non-GAAP financial measures because: (1) the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations and we believe does not relate to ongoing operational performance; and (2) such expenses can vary significantly between periods.

Free cash flow represents net cash provided by or used in operating activities, reduced by purchases of property and equipment and capitalization of internal-use software. Free cash flow is a measure used by management to understand and evaluate our liquidity and to generate future operating plans. Free cash flow excludes items that we do not consider to be indicative of our liquidity and facilitates comparisons of our liquidity on a period-to-period basis. We believe providing free cash flow provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the strength of our liquidity and future ability to generate cash that can be used for strategic opportunities or investing in our business from the perspective of our management and Board of Directors.

Key Performance Indicators

In addition, we also use the following key performance indicators to help us evaluate our business, identify trends affecting the business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions.

Average revenue per unit (ARPU): We calculate ARPU by dividing the total platform revenue in a given period by the average active locations in that same period. We believe ARPU is an important metric that demonstrates our ability to grow within our customer base through the development of our products that our customers value.

Dollar-based net revenue retention (NRR): We calculate NRR as of a period-end by starting with the revenue, defined as platform revenue, from the cohort of all active customers as of 12 months prior to such period-end, or the prior period revenue. An active customer is a specific restaurant brand that utilizes one or more of our modules in a given quarterly period. We then calculate the platform revenue from these same customers as of the current period-end, or the current period revenue. Current period revenue includes any expansion and is net of contraction or attrition over the last 12 months, but excludes platform revenue from new customers in the current period. We then divide the total current period revenue by the total prior period revenue to arrive at the point-in-time dollar-based NRR. We believe that NRR is an important metric to our investors, demonstrating our ability to retain our customers and expand their use of our modules over time, proving the stability of our revenue base and the long-term value of our customer relationships.

Active locations: We define an active location as a unique restaurant location that is utilizing or subscribed to one or more of our modules in a quarterly period (depending on the module). Given this definition, active locations in any one quarter may not reflect (i) the future impact of new customer wins as it can take some time for their locations to go live with our platform, or (ii) the customers who have indicated their intent to reduce or terminate their use of our platform in future periods. Of further note, not all of our customer locations may choose to utilize our products, and while we aim to deploy all of a customer’s locations, not all locations may ultimately deploy.

Gross merchandise volume (GMV): We define GMV as the gross value of orders processed through our platform.

Gross payment volume (GPV): We define GPV as the gross volume of payments processed through Olo Pay.

Our management uses GMV and GPV metrics to assess demand for our products. We also believe GMV and GPV provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business.
