TaskUs Announces Fiscal First Quarter 2024 Results
TaskUs, Inc. (Nasdaq: TASK) reported total revenues of $227.5 million for the first quarter of 2024, with a GAAP net income of $11.7 million. The company achieved a GAAP net income margin of 5.1% and Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income of $27.3 million with a margin of 12.0%. Their GAAP diluted EPS was $0.13 and non-GAAP Adjusted EPS reached $0.30. The company's Adjusted EBITDA was $50.6 million with a margin of 22.2%. TaskUs added 1,400 teammates, ending with 49,600, and repurchased 0.3 million shares. The company expects 2024 revenues between $925 million and $950 million, showing strong growth and performance.
TaskUs reported revenue outperformance and exceeded the top end of their guidance, with an impressive jump in net income and EPS. The company's improved financials and strong client sales are driving revenue growth, with an anticipated annual revenue growth and increase in full-year revenue guidance.
TaskUs demonstrated robust financial management by converting 94.1% of Adjusted EBITDA to Free Cash Flow, reaching $47.6 million. The company's global delivery model showed strength, especially in Latin America, leading to better-than-expected results and revenue growth prospects.
Despite the positive revenue outlook and financial performance, TaskUs experienced a decline in Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income by 16.1% compared to the previous year, impacting the Non-GAAP Adjusted EPS negatively by 6.3%. The company also witnessed an 8.0% decrease in Adjusted EBITDA.
Insights
TaskUs's fiscal performance for Q1 2024 shows a mixed bag of results that shareholders should scrutinize. Service revenue has declined by 3.3% year over year, which may raise questions about the company's growth trajectory. However, the reported GAAP net income increase of 23.2% is a positive indicator of cost management and operational efficiency. The significant improvement in free cash flow, up by 23.8%, alongside a 94.1% conversion of Adjusted EBITDA to Free Cash Flow, is particularly noteworthy as it reflects the company's ability to generate cash from its operations effectively.
The company's forward-looking statements, increasing the lower end of the full-year revenue guidance by
The strategic investments TaskUs has made, combined with a strong growth in Latin America, suggests a proactive approach to diversifying and scaling their global delivery model. This may provide resilience against regional market fluctuations and could help in mitigating macroeconomic uncertainties. However, the company's service revenue decline should be viewed within the context of the broader Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry. If TaskUs's revenue dip is an outlier rather than a trend observed across the industry, it may suggest company-specific issues that require deeper analysis.
Investors should also consider the company's repurchase of 0.3 million shares in the quarter; such buybacks might signal management's confidence in the company's valuation, but they can also have the effect of inflating earnings per share metrics. The disclosed Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio of 0.4 times is relatively low, indicating a healthy balance sheet that could afford resilience in times of market volatility.

- With respect to the non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin outlook provided above, a reconciliation to the closest GAAP financial measure has not been provided as the quantification of certain items included in the calculation of GAAP net income (loss) cannot be calculated or predicted at this time without unreasonable efforts. For example, the non-GAAP adjustment for stock-based compensation expense requires additional inputs such as number of shares granted and market price that are not currently ascertainable, and the non-GAAP adjustment for foreign currency gains or losses depends on the timing and magnitude of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and cannot be accurately forecasted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on its future GAAP financial results.

Free Cash Flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities in the period minus cash used for purchase of property and equipment in the period. At the mid-point of our guidance, net cash provided by operating activities for the full year 2024 is expected to be approximately
and purchase of property and equipment is expected to be approximately$164 million . Our Free Cash Flow and net cash provided by operating activities guidance excludes the impact of certain litigation costs, which are non-recurring and outside the ordinary course of business, due to the unpredictability of the costs and timing of payments.$39 million

Definitions of Non-GAAP Metrics
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is a non-GAAP profitability measure that represents net income or loss for the period before the impact of the benefit from or provision for income taxes, financing expenses, depreciation, and amortization of intangible assets. EBITDA eliminates potential differences in performance caused by variations in capital structures (affecting financing expenses), tax positions (such as the availability of net operating losses against which to relieve taxable profits), the cost and age of tangible assets (affecting relative depreciation expense) and the extent to which intangible assets are identifiable (affecting relative amortization expense).
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP profitability measure that represents EBITDA before certain items that are considered to hinder comparison of the performance of our businesses on a period-over-period basis or with other businesses. During the periods presented, we excluded from Adjusted EBITDA transaction costs, earn-out consideration, the effect of foreign currency gains and losses, gains and losses on disposals of assets, non-recurring severance costs, certain non-recurring litigation costs, stock-based compensation expense and associated employer payroll tax and interest income, which include costs that are required to be expensed in accordance with GAAP. Our management believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about unusual items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by service revenue.
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP profitability measure that represents net income or loss for the period before the impact of amortization of intangible assets and certain items that are considered to hinder comparison of the performance of our businesses on a period-over-period basis or with other businesses. During the periods presented, we excluded from Adjusted Net Income amortization of intangible assets, transaction costs, earn-out consideration, the effect of foreign currency gains and losses, gains and losses on disposals of assets, non-recurring severance costs, certain non-recurring litigation costs, stock-based compensation expense and associated employer payroll tax and the related effect on income taxes of certain pre-tax adjustments, which include costs that are required to be expensed in accordance with GAAP. Our management believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to net income applied in presenting Adjusted Net Income are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about unusual items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future.
Adjusted Net Income Margin represents Adjusted Net Income divided by service revenue.
Adjusted EPS
Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP profitability measure that represents earnings available to shareholders excluding the impact of certain items that are considered to hinder comparison of the performance of our business on a period-over-period basis or with other businesses. Adjusted EPS is calculated as Adjusted Net Income divided by our diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Our management believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to earnings per share applied in presenting Adjusted EPS are appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and about unusual items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future.
Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measure that represents our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations. Free Cash Flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities in the period minus cash used for purchase of property and equipment in the period. Our management believes that the inclusion of this non-GAAP measure, when considered with our GAAP results, provides management and investors with an additional understanding of our ability to generate additional cash for ongoing business operations and other capital deployment.
Conversion of Adjusted EBITDA represents Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA.
