Second Quarter Key Highlights

ARR for the second quarter was $178.2 million dollars. Excluding the $1.5 million dollar FX headwind, ARR grew by $39.2 million dollars year-over-year, representing 28% percent year-over-year growth.
Reported dollar-based net retention rate of 106%, 107% adjusted for FX impact.
Added four new solutions on Microsoft AppSource, an online cloud marketplace providing tailored line-of-business solutions.
Enhanced robust data protection capabilities with the addition of Microsoft Azure backup.
Garnered industry recognition for continued innovation, winning the 2022 EdTech Breakthrough Award and multiple channel program awards in addition to being a finalist for 2022 Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards in education and government.
Through June 30, 2022, repurchased approximately 1.9 million shares under the share repurchase program at a cost of approximately $10 million.

Financial Outlook

Since March 31, 2022, we have seen an incremental strengthening of the U.S. dollar resulting in a foreign exchange headwind in fiscal 2022. We now expect the total FX impact to be approximately $4.8 million dollars on ARR and $5 million dollars on revenue. Our revised guidance assumes this trend and that the challenging macroeconomic environment will continue for the remainder of the year.

Third Quarter 2022 Guidance: Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $62 million to $64 million or approximately 17% year-over-year growth, 23% adjusted for constant currency. Non-GAAP operating income is expected to be in the range of $1 million to $2 million.
Full Year 2022 Guidance: Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $230.0 million to $234.0 million or approximately 21% year-over-year growth, 26% adjusted for constant currency. Non-GAAP operating income/loss is expected to be in the range of a loss of $(3.5) million to income of $1.0 million. ARR is expected to be in the range of $202 million to $206 million or approximately 28% year-over-year growth, 31% adjusted for FX impact.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement AvePoint’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses (including percentage of revenue figures), non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin. In order for AvePoint’s investors to be better able to compare its current results with those of previous periods, the company has included a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures at the end of this press release. These reconciliations adjust the related GAAP financial measures to exclude stock-based compensation expense. AvePoint believes the presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures enhances the user’s overall understanding of its historical financial performance. The presentation of AvePoint’s non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for its financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and AvePoint’s non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
