Insights
The reported financial results from Synchronoss Technologies Inc. indicate a pivotal shift in the company's strategy, with a successful transition to a pure-play cloud business model. The revenue consistency year-over-year, despite divesting non-core businesses, suggests a stable financial position. The reported gross margin increase and positive net cash flow reflect improved operational efficiency. However, investors should note the flat revenue growth and the reported net loss, which increased significantly year-over-year due to the divestiture costs. The commitment to an aggressive adjusted EBITDA margin for 2024 is ambitious, considering the current economic climate and the competitive nature of the cloud industry.
The launch of the 'Anshin Data Box' with SoftBank marks a significant expansion in the Japanese market and indicates Synchronoss's ability to adapt and scale internationally. The cloud market is growing and partnerships with Tier One customers like SoftBank can provide a competitive edge. However, the company's future growth is contingent on its ability to maintain this momentum and innovate in a market where customer demands and technology are rapidly evolving. The focus on AI-powered features and Enhanced Plans could cater to the increasing demand for personalized and intelligent cloud solutions.
Synchronoss's strategic realignment to focus solely on high-margin cloud solutions is a reflection of the broader industry trend towards specialized cloud services. The company's emphasis on AI-powered enhancements and streamlined onboarding processes suggests an alignment with industry best practices for user engagement and retention. However, the technology sector is known for its rapid pace of change and Synchronoss's ability to sustain growth will depend on continuous innovation and its capacity to stay ahead of emerging trends in cloud technologies.

Company Reaffirms 2024 Guidance
BRIDGEWATER, N.J., March 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Synchronoss Technologies Inc. (“Synchronoss” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SNCR), a global leader and innovator in personal Cloud platforms, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023.
On October 31, 2023, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to divest its Messaging and NetworkX businesses. As such, unless otherwise noted, all financial metrics herein represent continuing operations, except for the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, which are presented for the whole company.
During the fourth quarter of 2023 there was a change in the capital structure due to a reverse stock split, which decreased the number of common shares outstanding. The Company retroactively adjusted the computations of basic and diluted EPS for all periods presented on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Fourth Quarter and Recent Operational Highlights
- Exceeded the upper end of previously provided guidance ranges for 2023 revenue and adjusted EBITDA, delivering
$164.2 million and$31.4 million , respectively. Additionally, the Company achieved positive net cash flow in 2023. - Launched Synchronoss Personal Cloud as Anshin Data Box with SoftBank, further expanding the Company’s global footprint in the Japanese market and showcasing the adaptability and appeal of its Personal Cloud offerings in the global marketplace.
- Successfully executed on the strategic divestiture of the non-core Messaging and NetworkX businesses, realizing the Company’s transformation to exclusively focus on providing its industry-leading, high-margin personal Cloud solution to the global marketplace.
- Following the divestiture, the Company immediately removed
$15 million in annualized FY 2024 costs from the go-forward Cloud business. These cost reductions not only enhance operational efficiency but also recalibrate the financial framework, setting a new profitability baseline with expectations of achieving gross margins greater than75% and adjusted EBITDA margins surpassing25% in 2024. - Unveiled the new version of the “AI-powered” Personal Cloud Platform, which includes advanced features and capabilities that leverage artificial intelligence to enhance user experience and functionality.
- Appointed Kevin Rendino to the Board of Directors, bolstering the Company’s leadership team as a significant shareholder with deep financial and capital markets expertise.
Management Commentary
“As we reflect on 2023, Synchronoss has emerged with a clear strategic focus, a simplified financial profile, and more profitable, aligned operations, that are now exclusively dedicated to providing high-value Personal Cloud solutions to the global marketplace,” stated Jeff Miller, President and CEO of Synchronoss. “Our transformation, culminating with the divestiture of the Messaging and NetworkX businesses in the fourth quarter of 2023, positions us to leverage the high-margin nature of our Cloud business for enhanced cash flow generation. This milestone shift has streamlined our operations and solidified our foundation for growth and operational excellence moving forward.
“In 2024 we plan to capitalize on our strengths: enhancing subscriber growth with our Tier One customers and further innovating our Cloud solutions to deliver compelling value. These efforts, combined with our disciplined approach to cost management, pave the way for substantial financial progress. Our recent launch of Anshin Data Box, in collaboration with SoftBank, has exceeded initial expectations. This success further signifies the strength and adaptability of our Cloud offerings, and opens avenues for growth with current and potential partners worldwide. We also recently unveiled significant enhancements to our Synchronoss Personal Cloud platform, including AI-powered photo editing features, Enhanced Plans for tailored subscriber offerings, and a streamlined onboarding process. Our refined focus and strategic advancements have permeated our operations with a new level of efficiency and purpose, setting the stage for Synchronoss to grow as a distinguished leader in Cloud technologies.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results:
Results compare 2023 fiscal fourth quarter end (December 31, 2023) to 2022 fiscal fourth quarter end (December 31, 2022) unless otherwise indicated.
- Total revenue was
$41.4 million , consistent with$41.3 million in the prior year period. The revenue performance was the result of growth in Cloud subscribers, offset by the expiration of legacy contracts recorded in fourth quarter of 2022 in the NetworkX and Messaging product sets. - Gross profit increased
2.5% to$26.5 million (63.9% of total revenue) from$25.8 million (62.5% of total revenue) in the prior year period. Gross margins increased as a result of lower cost of revenues associated with a higher concentration of Cloud revenue to total revenue. This effect was partially offset by restructuring costs as well as increased depreciation and amortization associated with capitalized software development. - Income (loss) from operations was
$0.2 million , a significant improvement from a loss of$(5.8) million in the prior year period. This change was largely due to a$7.9 million reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the prior year adjustment to contingent consideration and the impact from the sale and product sunsetting of non-strategic assets in 2022. This was partially offset by$3.6 million in restructuring charges related to the divestiture in fourth quarter of 2023. - Net loss was
$(35.0) million , or$(3.56) per share, compared to$(15.9) million , or$(1.66) per share, in the prior year period. Net loss from continuing operations was$(11.8) million , or$(1.46) per share, compared to$(16.2) million , or$(1.92) per share, in the prior year period. Net loss from discontinued operations was$(20.6) million , or$(2.10) per share, compared to net income of$2.5 million , or$0.26 per share, in the prior year period. The increase in net loss was primarily due to the loss on the divestiture of Messaging and NetworkX. - Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP metric reconciled below) increased
127% to$10.0 million (24.1% of total revenue) from$4.4 million (10.7% of total revenue) in the prior year period. The increase in adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily attributable to cost-saving initiatives executed throughout the year. - Cash and cash equivalents were
$24.6 million at December 31, 2023, compared to$17.6 million 1 at September 30, 2023 and$21.9 million 2 from continuing and discontinued operations at December 31, 2022. In Q4 2023, free cash flow was$(4.4) million and adjusted free cash flow was$1.4 million . For the full year, free cash flow improved to$(1.0) million from$(3.8) million in 2022, and adjusted free cash flow improved to$14.8 million from$6.1 million in 2022. The Company did not receive additional tax refunds during the period, leaving its remaining balance due at approximately$28 million , which is expected to be received in the coming quarters.

Full Year 2023 Financial Results:
Results compare 2023 fiscal year end (December 31, 2023) to 2022 fiscal year end (December 31, 2022) unless otherwise indicated.
- Total revenue decreased (5.5)% to
$164.2 million from$173.8 million in the prior year. The change in full-year revenue was primarily due to the expected runoff of deferred revenue recognized in the first half of 2022 and revenue recognized from the DXP and Activation assets prior to their divestiture in 2022. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by continued Cloud subscriber growth and professional services associated with the launch of SoftBank. - Gross profit decreased (7.6)% to
$105.8 million (64.4% of total revenue) from$114.5 million (65.9% of total revenue) in the prior year, due to deferred revenue run-off in the first half of the prior year and a legacy product sunsetting in 2022. An upturn in gross profit and margins was observed in the latter half of 2023, driven by a growing share of Cloud revenue, indicating an improving trend in gross margin and profit performance following the strategic shift away from legacy products. - (Loss) income from operations was
$(10.6) million compared to$0.3 million in 2022. The increase in operating loss was primarily the result of the changes in revenue, restructuring expenses, and impairments on a note receivable in the third quarter of the current year. Cost-saving initiatives executed throughout the year provided a partial offset. - Net loss was
$(64.5) million , or$(6.62) per share, compared to$(17.5) million , or$(1.81) per share, in the prior year. Net loss from continuing operations was$(4.52) per share, compared to$(1.71) in the prior year. Net loss from discontinued operations was$(2.10) per share, compared to$(0.10) per share in the prior year. The increase in net loss was primarily due to the lower revenue, changes in non-cash foreign exchange, the aforementioned impairment, and the loss from the sale of Messaging and NetworkX. - Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP metric reconciled below) increased
13% to$31.4 million (19.1% of total revenue) from$27.7 million (15.9% of total revenue) in the prior year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily attributable to cost-saving initiatives executed throughout the year.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures." With respect to forward looking statements related to adjusted EBITDA, the Company has relied upon the exception in item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K and has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted adjusted EBITDA to forecasted GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Synchronoss or to forecasted GAAP income (loss) from operations, before taxes, within this earnings release because the Company is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to calculate certain reconciling items with confidence. These items include, but are not limited to, other income, other expense, (provision) benefit for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, gain (loss) on divestitures, net (loss) income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Synchronoss has provided in this release selected financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP although this non-GAAP financial information is derived from numbers that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes historical non-GAAP revenues, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted EBITDA, effective tax rate, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Synchronoss, diluted non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, free cash flow, invoiced cloud revenue and adjusted free cash flow (which excludes cash payments and receipts related to non-core business activities). The Company believes that the exclusion of non-routine cash-settled expenses, such as Litigation and Remediation costs (net) and Restructuring costs in the calculation of adjusted free cash flow which do not correlate to the operation of its business, provide for more useful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s results. Synchronoss uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating Synchronoss’ ongoing operational performance. Synchronoss believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing its financial results with other companies in Synchronoss’ industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. As noted, the non-GAAP financial results discussed above add back fair value stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs, restructuring, transition and cease-use lease expense, litigation, remediation and refiling costs and depreciation and amortization, interest income, interest expense, loss (gain) on divestitures, other (income) expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, and net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests, and preferred dividends.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as detailed above. Investors are encouraged to also review the Balance Sheet, Statement of Operations, and Statement of Cash Flow. As previously mentioned, a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.
