AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Turbine, Inc. (Nasdaq: APPS) announced financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended December 31, 2022.

Recent Financial Highlights:

  • Fiscal third quarter of 2023 revenue totaled $162.3 million representing a 25% decline year-over-year as compared to the fiscal third quarter of 2022.
  • GAAP net income for the fiscal third quarter of 2023 was $4.0 million, or $0.04 per share, as compared to GAAP net income for the fiscal third quarter of 2022 of $7.0 million, or $0.07 per share. Non-GAAP adjusted net income1 for the fiscal third quarter of 2023 was $30.2 million, or $0.29 per share, as compared to Non-GAAP adjusted net income1 of $50.9 million, or $0.49 per share, in the fiscal third quarter of 2022.
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA2 for the fiscal third quarter of 2023 was $40.0 million, as compared to Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA2 of $57.0 million in the fiscal third quarter of 2022.

"While nothing has changed regarding our long-term view of the digital media industry or our strategic positioning within the industry, macro headwinds are impacting our near-term results," said Bill Stone, CEO. "We expect current macro headwinds to continue into the first half of the calendar year, but our high-level strategic vision remains intact, as advertising spending tends to be among the first items to be negatively impacted at the onset of a cyclical downturn, but is typically also among the first items to rebound. We remain laser-focused on the execution of our core growth objectives, and effectively controlling that which we can control. We are making important progress on our SingleTap licensing business, new ad tech platform enhancements, and other initiatives that opportunistically leverage our on-device presence and first-party data. The history of Digital Turbine shows that we have successfully navigated challenges far more difficult than today's macro environment, emerging stronger and better-positioned for long-term growth. We remain optimistic that we have the right culture, team, strategy and focus to win."

Fiscal 2023 Third Quarter Financial Results

Total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $162.3 million. Total On-Device Solutions revenue before intercompany eliminations was $96.3 million. Before intercompany eliminations, total revenue from our App Growth Platform was $67.4 million.

GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $4.0 million, or $0.04 per share, as compared to GAAP net income of $7.0 million, or $0.07 per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Non-GAAP adjusted net income1 for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $30.2 million, or $0.29 per share, as compared to Non-GAAP adjusted net income of $50.9 million, or $0.49 per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA2 for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $40.0 million, as compared to Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $57.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The reconciliations between GAAP and Non-GAAP financial results for all referenced periods are provided in the tables immediately following the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows below.

Business Outlook

Based on information available as of February 8, 2023, the Company currently expects the following for the full-year fiscal 2023:

  • Revenue of between $660 million and $670 million
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA2 of between $165 million and $170 million
  • Non-GAAP adjusted EPS1 of $1.15 to $1.20, based on approximately 104 million diluted shares outstanding and an effective tax rate of 25%

It is not reasonably practicable to provide a business outlook for GAAP net income because the Company cannot reasonably estimate the changes in stock-based compensation expense, which is directly impacted by changes in the Company's stock price, or other items that are difficult to predict with precision.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Digital Turbine uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP adjusted net income and earnings per share ("EPS"), non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP free cash flow and non-GAAP gross profit. Reconciliations to the nearest GAAP measures of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the tables below.

Non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance, prospects for the future and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain expenses and benefits that may not be indicative of recurring core business operating results. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures that exclude such items when viewed in conjunction with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations enhance the comparability of results against prior periods and allow for greater transparency of financial results. The Company believes non-GAAP measures facilitate management's internal comparison of its financial performance to that of prior periods as well as trend analysis for budgeting and planning purposes. The presentation of non-GAAP measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

1Non-GAAP adjusted net income and EPS are defined as GAAP net income and EPS adjusted to exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles, change in fair value of contingent liability, transaction-related expenses and severance costs. Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP adjusted net income and EPS should not be construed as an alternative to comparable GAAP net income figures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as an indicator of profitability or performance, which is the most comparable measure under GAAP.

2Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is calculated as GAAP net income excluding the following cash and non-cash expenses: stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, net interest income/(expense), change in fair value of contingent liability, foreign exchange transaction gains/(losses), income tax provision, transaction-related expenses and severance costs. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue. Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as an indicator of performance, which is the most comparable measure under GAAP.

3Non-GAAP free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net cash provided by operating activities (as stated in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows), excluding transaction-related expenses and severance costs, reduced by capital expenditures. Readers are cautioned that free cash flow should not be construed as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as an indicator of profitability, performance or liquidity, which is the most comparable measure under GAAP.

4Non-GAAP gross profit is defined as GAAP income from operations adjusted to exclude the effect of product development costs, sales and marketing costs, general and administrative costs and depreciation of software. Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP gross profit should not be construed as an alternative to income from operations determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as an indicator of profitability or performance, which is the most comparable measure under GAAP.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted net income and EPS, non-GAAP free cash flow and non-GAAP gross profit are used by management as internal measures of profitability and performance. They have been included because the Company believes that the measures are used by certain investors to assess the Company's financial performance before non-cash charges and certain costs that the Company does not believe are reflective of its underlying business.

Forward-Looking Statements

  • risks associated with delays in major mobile phone launches, or the failure of such launches to achieve the scale
  • customer adoption that either we or the market may expect
  • the difficulty of extrapolating monthly demand to quarterly demand

  • ability as a smaller company to manage international operations
  • varying and often unpredictable levels of orders; the challenges inherent in technology development necessary to maintain the Company's competitive advantage such as adherence to release schedules and the costs and time required for finalization and gaining market acceptance of new products
  • changes in economic conditions and market demand
  • rapid and complex changes occurring in the mobile marketplace
  • pricing and other activities by competitors
  • technology management risk as the Company needs to adapt to a rapidly developing mobile device marketplace, complex specifications of different carriers and the management of a complex technology platform given the Company's relatively limited resources
  • system security risks and cyberattacks
  • risks and uncertainties associated with the integration of the acquisition of AdColony, including our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition
  • risks and uncertainties associated with the integration of the acquisition of Fyber, including our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition
