Q2 Holdings, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Q2 Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:QTWO), a leading provider of digital banking and lending solutions, today announced results for its second quarter ending June 30, 2019.

Second Quarter 2019 Results

  • Revenue for the second quarter of $77.6 million, up 33 percent year-over-year and up 9 percent from the previous quarter.
  • GAAP gross margin for the second quarter of 48.4 percent, down from 50.0 percent one year ago. Non-GAAP gross margin for the second quarter of 52.8 percent, down from 53.3 percent one year ago. The year-over-year decline is primarily attributable to investment in the Cloud Lending and Gro acquisitions closed in the fourth quarter of 2018.
  • GAAP net loss for the second quarter of $17.3 million, which compares to $8.6 million for the second quarter of 2018, and $19.3 million for the first quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of $3.2 million, down from $5.1 million one year ago and up from $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2019. The year-over-year decline is a result of investment in the acquisitions which were closed in the fourth quarter of 2018.

“We closed out the first half of the year on a strong note,” said Matt Flake, CEO of Q2. “We hosted another record client conference in May, and continued to see cross-pollination among our digital banking, Cloud Lending and Q2 Open platforms, helping us out-perform with respect to bookings relative to our expectations for the first two quarters. Given our sales execution, we plan to continue investing in integration, innovation and delivering successful client outcomes.”

Second Quarter Highlights

  • Signed three Tier 1 banks in the quarter, including a $26 billion bank holding company in the Northeast.
  • Signed digital lending contracts utilizing the Cloud Lending platform with two current Q2 platform clients, including a $14 billion bank on the West Coast.
  • Exited the quarter with approximately 13.6 million registered users on the Q2 platform, representing 4 percent sequential and 19 percent year-over-year growth.
  • Completed concurrent convertible note and common stock offerings, raising net proceeds of approximately $462 million.

“We ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and investments of $617.7 million as a result of the capital raises in the quarter,” said Jennifer Harris, CFO of Q2. “With our continued strong bookings and revenue performance, we are raising our full year revenue guidance and intend to invest the overachievement in the business in order to capitalize on the opportunity we see in front of us.”

Financial Outlook

Q2 Holdings is providing guidance for its third quarter 2019 as follows:

  • Total revenue of $78.6 million to $79.6 million, which would represent year-over-year growth of 30 percent to 31 percent.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $5.0 million to $5.5 million. GAAP net loss is the most comparable GAAP measure to adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA differs from GAAP net loss in that it excludes things such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, interest, income taxes and unoccupied lease charges. Q2 Holdings is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of these exclusions without unreasonable effort. Therefore, Q2 Holdings has not provided guidance for GAAP net loss or a reconciliation of the foregoing forward-looking adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP net loss.

Q2 Holdings is providing guidance for the full-year 2019 as follows:

  • Total revenue of $313.0 million to $315.0 million, which would represent year-over-year growth of 30 percent to 31 percent.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $20.0 million to $22.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA differs from GAAP net loss in that it excludes things such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, interest, income taxes and unoccupied lease charges. Q2 Holdings is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of these exclusions without unreasonable effort. Therefore, Q2 Holdings has not provided guidance for GAAP net loss or a reconciliation of the foregoing forward-looking adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP net loss.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Q2 uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted EBITDA; non-GAAP gross margin; non-GAAP gross profit; non-GAAP sales and marketing expense; non-GAAP research and development expense; non-GAAP general and administrative expense; non-GAAP operating loss; and, non-GAAP net loss. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful measures of operating performance because they exclude items that Q2 does not consider indicative of its core performance.

In the case of adjusted EBITDA, Q2 adjusts net loss for such things as interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, amortization of technology and intangibles, and unoccupied lease charges. In the case of non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP gross profit, Q2 adjusts gross profit and gross margin for stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired technology. In the case of non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP research and development expense, and non-GAAP general and administrative expense, Q2 adjusts the corresponding GAAP expense to exclude stock-based compensation. In the case of non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP net loss, Q2 adjusts operating loss and net loss, respectively, for stock-based compensation, acquisition related-costs, amortization of acquired technology, amortization of acquired intangibles, and unoccupied lease charges.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, the closest GAAP measures, or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation to the closest GAAP measures of these non-GAAP measures is contained in tabular form on the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Q2’s management uses these non-GAAP measures as measures of operating performance; to prepare Q2’s annual operating budget; to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of Q2’s business; to evaluate the effectiveness of Q2’s business strategies; to provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance; to facilitate a comparison of Q2’s results with those of other companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results; and in communication with our board of directors concerning Q2’s financial performance.
