Financial Analyst

Paltalk's Q2 2024 results paint a challenging picture. Revenue decreased by 24.7% to $2.2 million, primarily due to a 26.1% drop in subscription revenue. The company swung to a net loss of $0.9 million from a profit in the same period last year. This significant decline in financial performance is concerning.

However, the cash balance of $12.8 million and absence of long-term debt provide some financial stability. The planned acquisition of Newtek Technology Solutions and divestiture of core video chat applications mark a major strategic shift. While this could open new growth avenues, it also introduces execution risks and uncertainties.

The upcoming patent infringement trial against Cisco is a potential catalyst, but outcomes of such litigation are often unpredictable. Investors should closely monitor the company's ability to execute its transformation strategy and reverse the negative revenue trend.

Tech Industry Analyst

Paltalk's strategic pivot is intriguing but fraught with challenges. The planned divestiture of its core video chat applications ("Paltalk", "Camfrog" and "Tinychat") signals a dramatic shift from its traditional business model. While this move could unlock value, it also raises questions about the company's future identity and growth prospects.

The acquisition of Newtek Technology Solutions suggests a move towards enterprise-focused solutions, which could provide more stable revenue streams. However, integrating and scaling a new business model will require significant effort and resources.

The 29.2% increase in advertising revenue, albeit small in absolute terms, hints at potential opportunities in this area. The company's focus on improving user experience and integrating new features like card and board games could help with user retention and monetization, but the effectiveness of these initiatives remains to be seen in light of declining overall revenue.

Legal Expert

The upcoming patent infringement trial against Cisco, set to begin on August 26, 2024, is a significant event for Paltalk. The company's success in defending its intellectual property could have substantial financial implications. The recent reaffirmation of the patent's validity by the U.S. Patent Office strengthens Paltalk's position.

However, patent litigation is complex and outcomes are often uncertain. Even if Paltalk prevails, the potential damages and impact on future licensing opportunities are difficult to predict. Investors should be cautious about overestimating the potential upside from this litigation.

The planned acquisition of Newtek Technology Solutions and divestiture of core applications also introduce legal and regulatory considerations. Ensuring compliance with securities laws and obtaining necessary approvals will be important for the successful execution of these strategic moves. The company will need to navigate these legal challenges carefully to avoid potential pitfalls.

Paltalk will pay $4,000,000 in cash to Newtek and will issue to Newtek 4,000,000 shares of a newly created series of Paltalk’s preferred stock (in each case, subject to adjustment as further described in the Agreement) (the “Acquisition”). Newtek is also entitled to receive an earn-out payment of up to $5,000,000 based on the achievement of certain cumulative average Adjusted EBITDA thresholds for the 2025 and 2026 fiscal years.
• As a condition to the closing of the acquisition, Paltalk must effectuate the sale of its “Paltalk”, “Camfrog”, and “Tinychat” applications and all assets and liabilities related to such applications in one or more transactions, such that upon the completion of such transaction or transactions, Paltalk and its related persons no longer hold any right to operate or control such applications, whether directly or indirectly (such transaction or transactions, the “Divestiture Transaction”). Following the Divestiture Transaction, Paltalk will retain (i) all patents, patent applications, and any rights or causes of action related to such applications (including the pending patent litigation against Cisco), and (ii) any assets (including intellectual property) that are not exclusively related to such applications.

Business Objectives

• Looking for divestiture opportunities to maximize stockholder value and close the Acquisition
• Continuing our efforts to improve user experience with ManyCam software and optimize features for both consumer and enterprise applications
• Further optimizing marketing spend to effectively realize a positive return on our investment
• Continuing to implement several enhancements to our live video chat applications, as well as the integration of card and board games and other features focused on retention and monetization, which collectively are intended to increase user engagement and revenue opportunities
• Continuing to develop our consumer application platform strategy by seeking potential partnerships with large third-party communities to who we could promote a co-branded version of our video chat products and potentially share in the incremental revenues generated by these partner communities
• Further optimizing marketing spend to effectively realize a positive return on our investment
• Continuing to defend our intellectual property

¹ Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see the discussion below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Metrics” and the reconciliations at the end of this release for additional information concerning this and other non-GAAP financial measures.

Management Commentary

Jason Katz, Chairman and CEO of Paltalk, commented, “The announcement of our definitive agreement to acquire Newtek Technology Solutions from NewtekOne, Inc. marks a transformational transaction for our company. We believe that it provides a tremendous opportunity for us to provide excellent value for our stockholders by growing the business organically and acquisitively through strategic initiatives. As the founder and leader of Paltalk for the past 20 years, I am confident we will find the right owner for our core video chat applications. We have an ample cash balance of $12.8 million and are excited to focus our attention on growing the technology solutions business.”

“We believe our second quarter results reflect a softness in discretionary spending by our subscribers due in part to the overall economic and inflationary environment. We believe these impacts are macro-economic in nature and not long-term for our business. We expect to continue to make adjustments to our promotional spending until we see a pick-up in our metrics. In addition, our second quarter results of operations included approximately $0.3 million of expenses related to the NTS transaction. Our trial against Cisco is set to begin on August 26, 2024, and we look forward to continuing to defend our intellectual property,” Katz concluded.

Patent Litigation Update – Trial Expected to Begin in August 2024

On July 23, 2021, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Paltalk Holdings, Inc., filed a patent infringement lawsuit against WebEx Communications, Inc., Cisco WebEx LLC, and Cisco Systems, Inc. (collectively, “Cisco”), in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas (the “Court”). We allege that certain of Cisco’s products have infringed U.S. Patent No. 6,683,858, and that we are entitled to damages.

A Markman hearing took place on February 24, 2022. On September 7, 2022, the United States Patent Office issued a reexamination of U.S. Patent No. 6,683,858, and on January 19, 2023, the Examiner issued an Ex Parte Reexamination Certificate, ending the reexamination and confirming the patentability of claims 1-10 of U.S. Patent No. 6,683,858. On June 29, 2023, the Court held a pretrial conference with the parties and denied Cisco’s motion for summary judgment. On August 1, 2024, the Court held the final pretrial conference, and the trial is set to proceed on August 26, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Metrics

The Company has provided in this release Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude interest (income) expense, net, other (income) expense, net, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and stock-based compensation expense.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA internally in analyzing the Company’s financial results to assess operational performance and to determine the Company’s future capital requirements. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to Adjusted EBITDA in assessing its performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and others to understand and evaluate the Company’s operating results and it allows for a more meaningful comparison between the Company’s performance and that of competitors. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are that Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect, among other things: cash capital expenditures for assets underlying depreciation and amortization expense that may need to be replaced or for new capital expenditures; interest income, net; other expense, net; income tax expense from continuing operations; our working capital requirements; the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; and the provision for income taxes. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA along with other financial performance measures, including total revenues, subscription revenue, deferred revenue, net loss, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, net cash used in operating activities and our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
