BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Aug. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Synchronoss Technologies Inc. (“Synchronoss” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SNCR), a global leader and innovator in cloud, messaging, and digital products and platforms, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Second Quarter and Recent Operational Highlights:

Management Commentary

“Our double-digit Cloud revenue increase in the second quarter marked the fourth consecutive period of year-over-year growth in Cloud, denoting twelve months of consistent topline improvement and accelerated growth in our core business,” stated Jeff Miller, President and CEO of Synchronoss. “Our resilient performance continues to be driven by healthy subscriber growth, which hit 18% for the second straight quarter, leading to record gross margins and an improved cash flow profile. Operationally, we are continuing to drive growth with existing customers while also expanding into new markets and verticals. In just the last few weeks, we successfully launched two new premium Personal Cloud solutions with Telkomsel, marking the first phase of our deployment and opening the door to an additional 170 million potential customers. Early today, we also announced a Letter of Intent signing with Street Cred Capital, which further highlights the market expansion opportunities we are realizing for Synchronoss Cloud.

“While the global economic environment has caused delays in some customer decision making, our overall pipeline remains strong. The ongoing proliferation of 5G deployments should drive greater access to fixed wireless solutions enabling wider adoption of our Cloud for Home offering. We also continue to have significant expansion opportunities within our existing and newly launched customers. Collectively, we believe Synchronoss stands at the nexus of several major tailwinds that support our vision of sustainable, high-margin revenue growth now and in the years to come.”

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results:

Financial Commentary

Company CFO Taylor Greenwald added, “The second quarter was highlighted by meaningful profitability improvements in several key metrics as we increased gross margin to an all-time-high of 65.8%, delivered net income of $5.3 million and recorded adjusted EBITDA of $14.2 million or 21.8% of revenue. The Company also produced $3.6 million in positive, unadjusted free cash flow and $6.7 million of adjusted free cash flow, thanks in part to a $4.3 million tax refund received during the period. The strong quarterly performance resulted from the underlying strength of the Cloud business, which will continue to be a catalyst for growth.”

2022 Financial Outlook

Compared to the second quarter of 2022, management expects third quarter revenue and adjusted EBITDA to be down slightly after factoring in an approximate $2 million impact from the sale of the DXP and Activation assets in the second quarter and recognition of approximately $4 million in deferred, non-cash revenue from the Cloud business, which benefited the second quarter and will not repeat in the third quarter. While the Company still expects to be free cash flow positive, on an adjusted basis, for the year, management expects third and fourth quarter cash flow results to decline moderately compared to the second quarter due to the non-recurring tax refund and timing of cash receipts and expenses. Looking to 2023, the Company expects to be free cash flow positive, on an unadjusted basis, given the trajectory of its Cloud business and the actions taken to drive down its cost structures.

Based on the financial performance in the first half of 2022 and better visibility into the remainder of the year, the Company is narrowing the range of its full year 2022 adjusted EBITDA expectations to between $48.0 million and $55.0 million from a previous range of $45.0 million to $55.0 million.

Additionally, the Company now expects GAAP revenue for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 to range between $260.0 million and $270.0 million. The comparable 2021 revenue is $265.0 million after adjusting for the divestiture of the Company’s DXP and Activation assets. Despite delay in some customer decision making and expectations due to the macroeconomic environment, the sales pipeline remains healthy and subscriber growth continues to be strong. Synchronoss is reiterating its projection for Cloud subscriber growth to continue at a double-digit rate on a year-over-year basis in 2022.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Synchronoss has provided in this release selected financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP although this non-GAAP financial information is derived from numbers that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes historical non-GAAP revenues, gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, operating income (loss), net income (loss), effective tax rate, and earnings (loss) per share. Synchronoss uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating Synchronoss’ ongoing operational performance. Synchronoss believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing its financial results with other companies in Synchronoss’ industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. As noted, the non-GAAP financial results discussed above add back fair value stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs, which include restructuring and cease-use lease expense, litigation, remediation and refiling costs and amortization of intangibles associated with acquisitions.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as detailed above. Investors are encouraged to also review the Balance Sheet, Statement of Operations, and Statement of Cash Flow. As previously mentioned, a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.
