Third Quarter Financial highlights:

Revenue

• Revenue of $97.0 million, increased 1.3% sequentially as new and existing client revenue growth exceeded churned revenue. Year-over-year decline of 12.4% was driven by previously communicated churn at Edgecast and elongated booking cycle.

Gross margin

• GAAP gross margin was 23.9%, compared to 22.6% quarter over quarter and 25.8% year over year.

• Non-GAAP gross margin was 28.0%, compared to 26.9% quarter over quarter and 31.4% year over year.

• Cash gross margin was 32.1%, compared to 30.8% quarter over quarter and 41.2% year over year. The sequential improvement was due to higher revenue and continued cost savings initiatives partially offset by higher switching costs related to a cloud platform services provider.

Operating expenses

• GAAP operating expenses, including share-based compensation of $3.3 million, restructuring charges of $0.1 million to achieve cost synergies, $0.0 restatement expenses, and acquisition and legal related expenses of $0.4 million were 48% of revenue, compared to 57.3% in the second quarter of 2023 and 67.6% in the third quarter of 2022.

• Non-GAAP operating expenses, excluding share-based compensation, restructuring charges, restatement related expenses, and acquisition and legal related expenses, were 44.0% of revenue, compared to 47.0% in the second quarter of 2023 and 48.0% in the third quarter of 2022.

• Cash operating expenses, excluding share-based compensation, restructuring charges, restatement related expenses, and acquisition and legal related expenses, depreciation and amortization were 41.8% of revenue, compared to 44.8% in the second quarter of 2023 and 46.4% in the third quarter of 2022. The decline in cash operating expenses was primarily due to realization of cost savings from previously announced cost containment efforts.

Adjusted EBITDA

• Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was a loss of $9.5 million, compared to a loss of $13.4 million in the second quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher revenues and continuous execution on cost savings initiatives.

Capital Expenditure

• Year-to-date capital expenditure, net of payments from ISPs, was $4.9 million or 1.7% of revenue.

• We expect to continue to be efficient with our capital expenditure as a result of stronger operational discipline, leveraging our excess capacity, and higher revenue contribution from software solutions that have lower capital requirements.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities

• Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $27.6 million as of September 30, 2023, compared to $36.2 million as of June 30, 2023.

• Net cash used in operations during the quarter was $10.7 million.

2023 Guidance:

“Over the last year, we have introduced award-winning products, accelerated our go-to-market initiatives, improved operations and strengthened our balance sheet,” said Stephen Cumming, CFO of Edgio. “We are accelerating our focus on revenue quality and unit economics, which combined with the ongoing cost savings initiatives, set us up for further adjusted EBITDA margin expansion in 2024.”

For the fourth quarter of 2023, the guidance is as follows:

• Revenue between $96 and $98 million

• Adjusted EBITDA range of negative $1 million to positive $1 million

• Capital expenditure in the range of $3 to $6 million

For 2023, we have revised our range and are currently expecting:

• Revenue between $391 and $393 million, a growth of 15.5 to 16.0 percent year over year

• Adjusted EBITDA range of negative $38 to negative $36 million

• Capital expenditure between $10 and $13 million, implying 2.6% and 3.3% of revenue

Financial Tables

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To evaluate our business, we consider and use non-generally accepted accounting principles (“Non-GAAP”) net loss, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures of operating performance. These measures include the same adjustments that our management takes into account when it reviews and assesses operating performance on a period-to-period basis. We consider Non-GAAP net loss to be an important indicator of our overall business performance. We define Non-GAAP net loss to be U.S. GAAP net loss, adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, non-cash interest expense, restructuring charges, acquisition and legal related expenses, amortization of intangible assets, and restatement related expenses. We believe that EBITDA provides a useful metric to investors to compare us with other companies within our industry and across industries. We define EBITDA as U.S. GAAP net loss, adjusted to exclude interest expense, interest and other (income) expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, restructuring charges, acquisition and legal related expenses, and restatement related expenses. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. Our management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures because, collectively, they provide valuable information on the performance of our on-going operations, and they also enable us to compare against our peer companies and against other companies in our industry and adjacent industries. We believe these measures also provide similar insights to investors, and enable investors to review our results of operations “through the eyes of management.”

Furthermore, our management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to assist them in making decisions regarding our strategic priorities and areas for future investment and focus. The terms Non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S. GAAP, and are not measures of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, Non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to:

• Non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

• These measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

• Non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash requirements necessary for litigation costs, including provision for litigation and litigation expenses;

• These measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;

• These measures do not reflect income taxes or the cash requirements for any tax payments;

• Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will be replaced sometime in the future, and EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

• While share-based compensation is a component of operating expense, the impact on our financial statements compared to other companies can vary significantly due to such factors as the assumed life of the options and the assumed volatility of our common stock; and

• Other companies may calculate Non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP financial results and using Non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental support for management’s analysis of business performance. Non-GAAP net loss, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows for the periods presented in thousands.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In accordance with the requirements of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, we are presenting the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and reconciling the unaudited Non-GAAP financial metrics to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures. Per share amounts may not foot due to rounding.

Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are presented without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures because the GAAP financial measures are not accessible on a forward-looking basis and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments reflected in our reconciliation of historic non-GAAP financial measures, the amounts of which, based on historical experience, could be material.
