(Nasdaq: UPLD), a leader in cloud-based Enterprise Work Management software, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017, provided guidance for its third quarter, and reaffirmed guidance for the full year of 2017.

  • Total of $242.7 million in financing closed to fund additional, accretive acquisitions, including a $42.7 million follow-on equity offering in June and an expansion of our credit facility to $200 million on August 2nd.

"Q2 was another record quarter with strong revenue growth, record Adjusted EBITDA, and an accretive and strategic acquisition, RightAnswers, which is already off to a strong start," said Jack McDonald, chairman and CEO of Upland Software. "Moreover, since the beginning of Q2, to date we have closed over $240 million in equity and debt financing to fund future acquisitions. Our Q3 and full-year guidance is strong with another accretive and strategic acquisition, Waterfall, already completed."

Second Quarter Business Highlights

  • Invested in our ComSci ITFM application to build a new cross-product platform called Upland Analytics, expanding ComSci's robust dashboarding, multidimensional reporting, analytics, and charting features to create a seamless user experience across all Upland applications and service offerings as well as scalable connectivity through the Upland Integration Platform.
  • Enhanced our Project and IT Management product family by acquiring RightAnswers, a leader in cloud-based knowledge management, enterprise knowledge search, and social knowledge software for improving customer service, IT support, and enterprise-wide collaboration.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses and expenditures that may not be indicative of our recurring core business operating results, such as our revenues excluding the impact for foreign currency fluctuations or our operating performance excluding not only non-cash charges, but also discrete cash charges that are infrequent in nature. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity as well as comparisons to our competitors' operating results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and they are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see the tables provided below in this release.

Upland defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus net income (loss) from discontinued operations, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, net, other expense (income), net, loss on debt extinguishment, provision for income taxes, provision for income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, non-recurring litigation costs, and purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue.

Upland defines non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus amortization of purchased intangible assets, amortization of debt discount, loss on debt extinguishment, stock-based compensation expenses, acquisition-related expenses, nonrecurring litigation expenses, purchase accounting adjustments for deferred revenue, and the related tax effect of the adjustments above.

Annualized recurring revenue value as of December 31 equals the monthly value of our recurring revenue contracts measured as of December 31 multiplied by 12. We define annual dollar renewal rate (also referred to as net dollar retention rate) as of December 31 as the aggregate annualized recurring revenue value at December 31 from those customers that were also customers as of December 31 of the prior fiscal year, divided by the aggregate annualized recurring revenue value from all customers as of December 31 of the prior fiscal year.

Upland's earnings press releases containing such non-GAAP reconciliations can be found on the Investor Relations section of Upland's website at investor.uplandsoftware.com.
