Positive
  • Net loss margin improved to 2.3% from 9.2% in Q3 2023.
  • Annualized savings from restructuring reached $180 million.
  • Diluted loss per share improved to $(0.02) from $(0.08) in Q3 2023.
Negative
  • Q3 2024 revenues declined by 6.7% YoY.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 11.7% from 12.0% in Q3 2023.
  • Revenues for the first nine months of 2024 declined by 12.9% YoY.
  • Net loss margin widened to 9.6% from 5.3% for the first nine months of 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin dropped to 5.7% from 11.2% for the first nine months of 2023.

Insights

The Q3 results reflect ongoing challenges with $261.4M in revenue, marking a 6.7% YoY decline. The net loss margin improved to -2.3% from -9.2% last year, though still in negative territory. Key concerns include:

  • Continued revenue pressure across most regions, with North America showing the steepest decline at 12.5%
  • Financial services vertical struggling with 23.3% YoY revenue drop
  • Free cash flow turned negative at -$1.1M

The restructuring program is nearly complete, achieving $180M in annualized savings against a target of $185-210M. With the pending Apax acquisition at $4.40 per share and completed cost optimization, the company appears to be positioning for a turnaround under private ownership.

The bookings trend reveals significant market headwinds. While TTM bookings of $1.3B showed sequential improvement, the 7.1% YoY decline reflects broader industry challenges:

  • Client budget constraints amid economic uncertainty
  • Shift toward lower-cost offshore services
  • Pricing pressure leading to discounts and adjustments

Despite maintaining 37 clients with $10M+ bookings, the trend toward smaller contract sizes and offshore work suggests a structural shift in client spending patterns. The industry-based go-to-market strategy shows promise but faces persistent macroeconomic headwinds.

  • Third quarter revenues of $261.4 million

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Thoughtworks Holding, Inc. (NASDAQ: TWKS) ("Thoughtworks" or the "Company"), a leading global technology consultancy, today reported results for the third quarter of 2024.

Acquisition Update

As announced on August 5, 2024, Thoughtworks has entered into a definitive merger agreement to be acquired by affiliates of certain investment funds advised by Apax Partners LLP for $4.40 per share (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, Thoughtworks has filed a definitive Information Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 21, 2024. A copy of the Information Statement can be found by visiting the Investor Relations section of the Thoughtworks corporate website at thoughtworks.com. In light of the announced transaction, Thoughtworks will not be holding a conference call to discuss its September 30, 2024 financial results.

Update on Restructuring Activities

On August 8, 2023, Thoughtworks initiated several measures to reduce operational costs and better align our business with our customers’ needs in a challenging macroeconomic environment. On May 7, 2024, we increased our restructuring program to capture additional cost savings. On August 2, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a second increase to its restructuring plan. The restructuring program was completed on October 31, 2024, as expected. The Company expects to record an immaterial amount of expense in the fourth quarter of 2024 due to closing out the program and the finalization of certain restructuring expenses, in addition to expense incurred in October related to restructuring actions taken.

During the third quarter of 2024, Thoughtworks incurred pre-tax cash charges of approximately $22.6 million, which include $21.1 million in wage-related costs and $1.5 million in non-wage related costs. Since the program’s inception in August 2023 through September 30, 2024, we have incurred pre-tax cash charges of approximately $50.9 million, which include $45.6 million in wage-related costs and $5.3 million in non-wage related costs, compared to total expected pre-tax charges of $56.5 million to $68.0 million, of which include $51.0 million to $59.0 million of wage-related expenses, such as employee severance and related benefits, and $5.5 million to $9.0 million of non-wage related expenses, including costs related to reducing leased office space, vendor contract cancellations and professional fees. As of September 30, 2024, we have achieved $180 million of annualized savings compared to expected total restructuring program savings of $185.0 million to $210.0 million.

(1) The percentage change for the following items were excluded as they were determined to be not meaningful due to a loss or negative position in one or both periods. QTD: net loss, diluted loss per share and free cash flow. YTD: net loss, diluted loss per share, cash flow from operations, adjusted net (loss) income, adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share and free cash flow.

(2) Acquisitions completed in the last twelve months had an immaterial contribution to revenue growth for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

(3) The three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 include $0.2 million expense and a net reversal of $0.4 million, respectively, related to the CEO transition.

(4) See “Non-GAAP financial measures” for how we define these measures and the financial tables that accompany this release for reconciliation of these measures to the closest comparable GAAP measures.

(5) Revenue Growth Rate at Constant Currency is calculated by translating the current period revenues into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rates of the prior period of comparison; therefore the weighted average rates used in each respective calculation are not consistent. The change in revenue growth rate at constant currency was excluded, as it was determined to be not meaningful.

Bookings

Our overall bookings for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2024 was $1.3 billion, a sequential increase from $1.2 billion and a year-over-year decrease from $1.4 billion. The sequential increase from the second quarter of 2024 to the third quarter of 2024 is a result of continued strong bookings as our industry-based go-to-market strategy is gaining momentum. The 7.1% year-over-year decrease in bookings is primarily a result of reduced client budgets reflecting caution around the macroeconomic environment and smaller contract sizes which reflect a shift to offshore services, where bill rates are lower compared to onshore work, and, in certain cases, discounts or pricing adjustments.

Forward-looking statements

This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of terms such as "expect," "will," "continue," or similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements represent our management's beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this press release. You should read this press release with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, which include but are not limited to: the statements under “Update on Acquisition” (including any other materials referenced therein), “Update on Restructuring Activities,” including expectations relating to the size of the restructuring actions, the amount and timing of related cost savings and charges and the potential long-term benefits of the restructuring actions; statements regarding relationships with existing and potential clients and their engagement decisions; and any other statements of expectation or belief. These statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from results expressed or implied in this press release. Such risk factors include, but are not limited to, those related to: current and future impact of macro-related factors on Thoughtworks' clients’ engagement decisions, Thoughtworks’ business and industry; the effects of competition on the future business of Thoughtworks; uncertainty regarding the demand for and market utilization of our services; the ability to implement our restructuring actions, including the costs of such actions and the uncertainty of the impact of such actions on financial performance; the ability to maintain or acquire new client relationships; other general business and economic conditions (including such conditions related to inflation and foreign currency exchange rates); the possibility that the Merger does not close when expected or at all because one or more conditions to the closing are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all; that the parties to the merger agreement may modify its terms and conditions; that the anticipated benefits of the Merger are not realized as a result of such things as the weakness of the economy and competitive factors in the technology consultancy industry; the Merger’s effect on the Company’s relationships with its customers and suppliers, whether or not the Merger is completed; the parties’ ability to successfully integrate operations in the Merger; significant or unanticipated transaction and merger-related integration costs; and our ability to successfully execute our strategy and strategic plans. For additional information concerning these and other risks and uncertainties, please see Thoughtworks' latest Annual Report on Form 10-K, latest Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and other filings and reports that Thoughtworks may file from time to time. Except as required by law, Thoughtworks assumes no obligation, and does not intend, to update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Non-GAAP financial measures

Certain financial metrics contained in this press release are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Definitions of and the related reconciliations for these non-GAAP financial measures can be found below. We use these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with traditional GAAP measures to evaluate our financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide our management and investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of operations. However, non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. For example, many of the non-GAAP financial measures used herein exclude stock-based compensation expense, which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring non-cash expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy.

Revenue Growth Rate and Revenue Growth Rate at constant currency

Certain of our subsidiaries use functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar and the translation of these foreign currency amounts into U.S. dollars can impact the comparability of our revenues between periods. Accordingly, we use Revenue Growth Rate at constant currency as an important indicator of our underlying performance. Revenue Growth Rate at constant currency is calculated by applying the average exchange rates in effect during the earlier comparative fiscal period to the later fiscal period.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin

We define gross profit as total revenues less cost of revenues. We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit excluding stock-based compensation expense, employer payroll related expense on employee equity incentive plan and depreciation expense. We calculate Adjusted Gross Margin by dividing Adjusted Gross Profit by total revenues. Our management uses Adjusted Gross Profit to assess overall performance and profitability, without regard to the aforementioned adjustments, which are unrelated to our ongoing revenue-generating operations. We also believe this information will be useful for investors to facilitate comparisons of our operating performance and better identify trends in our business.

Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted SG&A Margin

We define Adjusted SG&A as selling, general and administrative expense excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition costs, certain professional fees that are considered unrelated to our ongoing revenue-generating operations, employer payroll related expense on employee equity incentive plan and CEO transition costs. We calculate Adjusted SG&A Margin by dividing Adjusted SG&A by total revenues.

Our management uses Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted SG&A Margin to assess our overall performance, without regard to items such as stock-based compensation expense and other items that are considered to be unique or non-recurring in nature or otherwise unrelated to our ongoing revenue-generating operations. We also believe this information will be useful for investors to facilitate comparisons of our operating performance and better identify trends in our business.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share

We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net loss adjusted for unrealized (gain) loss on foreign currency exchange, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, acquisition costs, certain professional fees that are considered unrelated to our ongoing revenue-generating operations, employer payroll related expense on employee equity incentive plan, the change in fair value of contingent consideration, restructuring costs, CEO transition costs and income tax effects of adjustments.

We define Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share as diluted loss per share, with the numerator adjusted for the aforementioned adjustments to Adjusted Net Income (Loss). In other words, the numerator for Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share utilizes Adjusted Net Income (Loss). We calculate Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share by dividing Adjusted Net Income (Loss) by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Our management uses Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share to assess our overall performance, without regard to items that are considered to be unique or non-recurring in nature or otherwise unrelated to our ongoing revenue-generating operations, net of the income tax effects of adjustments.

Our management uses Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for planning purposes, including 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. We also believe this information will be useful for investors to facilitate comparisons of our operating performance and better identify trends in our business.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted to exclude income tax expense; interest expense; other (income) expense, net, excluding an unrealized gain/loss related to the mark to market adjustment on shares received in relation to the sale and settlement of trade receivables; unrealized (gain) loss on foreign currency exchange; stock-based compensation expense; depreciation and amortization expense; acquisition costs; certain professional fees that are considered unrelated to our ongoing revenue generating operations; employer payroll related expense on employee equity incentive plan; restructuring charges; and CEO transition costs. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company's operating performance without regard to the aforementioned adjustments that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing, capital structures, and the method by which assets were acquired or costs that are unique or non-recurring in nature or otherwise unrelated to our ongoing revenue-generating operations.

Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin for planning purposes, including 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. We also believe this information will be useful for investors to facilitate comparisons of our operating performance and better identify trends in our business.

Free Cash Flow

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less cash used for purchases of property and equipment. We believe that Free Cash Flow is a useful indicator of liquidity for investors and is used by our management as it measures our ability to generate cash, or our need to access additional sources of cash, to fund operations and investments. There are a number of limitations related to the use of free cash flow as compared to net cash from operating activities, including that Free Cash Flow includes capital expenditures, the benefits of which are realized in periods subsequent to those when expenditures are made.
