Everbridge Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results

“The fourth quarter marked a strong finish to the year as we laid the groundwork for future growth and increased profitability,” said David Wagner, Everbridge’s President and CEO. “We delivered another steady sequential increase in ARR and solid growth in our adjusted EBITDA. During the period we also reduced our net debt obligation while substantially completing our workforce restructuring, which we believe positions us to deliver increased shareholder value. We are executing the strategy outlined during our December Investor Day and are aligning the right go-to-market with the right products at the right time to deliver even more customer value. In the fourth quarter we took meaningful steps forward to strengthen the company on our way to $1 billion in ARR.”

Patrick Brickley, Everbridge’s CFO, added, “Overall, we believe 2022 was a successful transition year. In the fourth quarter, our top line and profitability were buoyed by exceptional perpetual deliveries that we had forecasted for year-end as well as our strongest ARR growth performance for the year thanks to solid recurring bookings and strong renewals. With our business successfully realigned for stable, long-term growth and increased profitability, we are on track to meet our revenue and adjusted EBITDA forecast for 2023, and we believe we can achieve meaningful increases in profitability and cash flow in 2023 and beyond.”

Key Performance Metric

Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) is defined as the expected recurring revenue in the next twelve months from active customer contracts, assuming no increases or reductions in the subscriptions from that cohort of customers. Investors should not place undue reliance on ARR as an indicator of future or expected results. Our presentation of this metric may differ from similarly titled metrics presented by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP sales and marketing, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP general and administrative, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income/(loss), non-GAAP net income/(loss), non-GAAP net income/(loss) per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and adjusted free cash flow.

Non-GAAP operating income/(loss) excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, change in fair value of contingent consideration, stock-based compensation and costs related to the 2022 Strategic Realignment. Non-GAAP net income/(loss) excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, change in fair value of contingent consideration, stock-based compensation, costs related to the 2022 Strategic Realignment, accretion of interest on convertible senior notes, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, capped call modification and change in fair value and the tax impact of such adjustments. EBITDA represents net income/(loss) before interest income and interest expense, income tax expense and benefit and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted for gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, capped call modification and change in fair value, change in fair value of contingent consideration, stock-based compensation expense and costs related to the 2022 Strategic Realignment. Free cash flow represents cash provided by (used in) operating activities minus cash used for capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs. Adjusted free cash flow represents free cash flow as further adjusted for cash payments for the 2022 Strategic Realignment.

We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Everbridge's financial condition and results of operations. We use these non-GAAP measures for financial, operational and budgetary decision-making purposes, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, and to generate future operating plans. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information regarding past financial performance and future prospects, and permit us to more thoroughly analyze key financial metrics used to make operational decisions. We believe 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 our financial measures with other software companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

We do not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which are included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
