Q2 Holdings, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results

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

Third Quarter 2019 Results

  • Revenue for the third quarter of $79.7 million, up 32 percent year-over-year and up 3 percent from the previous quarter.
  • GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of 49.3 percent, down from 50.2 percent in the prior-year quarter. Non-GAAP gross margin for the third quarter of 53.6 percent, down from 53.8 percent in the prior-year quarter.
  • GAAP net loss for the third quarter of $18.6 million, compared to GAAP net losses of $8.9 million for the prior-year quarter and $17.3 million for the second quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of $5.6 million, compared to $5.7 million in the prior-year quarter and $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2019.

“We were very pleased with the results in the quarter,” said Matt Flake, CEO of Q2. “We built on our sales momentum from the first half of the year, achieving record cross-sale bookings and signing a broad range of new deals that included the largest deal in Cloud Lending’s history. In October, we announced and closed our acquisition of PrecisionLender, a leading enterprise SaaS provider of data-driven sales enablement, pricing and portfolio management solutions. PrecisionLender brings an attractive growth profile to our business, and its employees and products substantially strengthen our commercial and data-analytics capabilities.”

Third Quarter Highlights

  • Signed a digital banking contract for Q2’s corporate solution with a top-five credit union in the United States.
  • Signed a digital lending contract utilizing Q2’s Cloud Lending platform with a top-20 financial services company, representing the largest deal in Cloud Lending’s history.
  • Exited the third quarter with approximately 14.1 million registered users on the Q2 platform, representing 14 percent year-over-year and 3 percent sequential growth from the second quarter.

“As disclosed previously, we consummated the acquisition of PrecisionLender on Oct. 31, 2019 for approximately $510 million, which we funded entirely from cash on hand,” said Jennifer Harris, CFO of Q2. “We are currently working through the purchase accounting with an independent valuation firm.”

Financial Outlook

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

  • Total revenue, excluding the impact of the acquisition of PrecisionLender, of $84.4 million to $86.4 million, which represents year-over-year growth of 26 percent to 29 percent. We anticipate PrecisionLender will add approximately $3.5 million to $4.0 million in revenue to the fourth quarter prior to any related purchase accounting adjustments, bringing the gross revenue guide for the quarter to $87.9 million to $90.4 million on a combined basis, which represents year-over-year growth of 31 percent to 35 percent prior to any related purchase accounting adjustments. Given the recency of the PrecisionLender acquisition, we are not able to estimate the related purchase accounting at this time without unreasonable effort.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the impact of the acquisition of PrecisionLender, of $11.0 million to $13.0 million. The addition of PrecisionLender will reduce the total adjusted EBITDA guide for the fourth quarter to $7.7 million to $10.5 million. GAAP net loss is the most comparable GAAP measure to adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA differs from GAAP net loss in that it excludes items 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, excluding the impact of the acquisition of PrecisionLender, of $313.0 million to $315.0 million, which represents year-over-year growth of 30 percent to 31 percent. We anticipate PrecisionLender will add approximately $3.5 million to $4.0 million in revenue to the fourth quarter prior to any related purchase accounting adjustments, bringing the gross revenue guide for the year to $316.5 million to $319.0 million on a combined basis, which represents year-over-year growth of 31 percent to 32 percent prior to any related purchase accounting adjustments. Given the recency of the PrecisionLender acquisition, we are not able to estimate the related purchase accounting at this time without unreasonable effort.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the impact of the acquisition of PrecisionLender, of $20 million to $22 million. The addition of PrecisionLender decreases the Adjusted EBITDA guide for the full year to $16.7 million to $19.5 million on a combined basis. Adjusted EBITDA differs from GAAP net loss in that it excludes items 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 items 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.
