FalconStor Software Announces First Quarter of 2022 Results

New Hybrid Cloud Reseller Relationship with IBM and Continued Managed Service Provider Adoption

Developed new strategic reseller relationship with IBM, creating new joint solutions that enable hybrid cloud data migration, backup, and restore for IBM Power Virtual Server Cloud (IBM Power VS) clients and MSPs that will be resold with IBM Cloud sales force and partner channels
Added four new MSP partners for the StorSafe secure backup-as-a-service solution while existing MSP partners expanded their business to protect new customers and systems, aligned with the FalconStor strategic shift to serve the MSP community
Rolled out new initiatives with Hitachi Vantara to build pipeline for advanced disaster recovery and cloud-enabled protection that will be resold by Hitachi Vantara sales force and partner channels

AUSTIN, TEXAS (May 11, 2022) - FalconStor Software, Inc. (OTCQB: FALC), a trusted data protection leader modernizing disaster recovery and backup for the hybrid cloud world, today announced financial results for its first quarter 2022, which ended on March 31, 2022.

“Our strategic shift to recurring revenue-based hybrid cloud data protection solutions took a material step forward in the quarter as we worked aggressively to secure an important reseller relationship with IBM,” said Todd Brooks, FalconStor CEO. “IBM’s cloud push has been a centerpiece of its corporate strategy, as highlighted in its first quarter 2022 results. As we announced earlier today, enterprises can now leverage new joint hybrid cloud solutions from FalconStor and IBM. These solutions are especially important to the tens of thousands of companies around the globe that leverage IBM i environments, as they now have the ability to securely backup and restore to the cloud as well as migrate their IBM i workloads to IBM Power VS Cloud with secure backup and recovery on an on-going basis.”

“Despite the importance of this step forward in our efforts to reinvent FalconStor, our aggressive focus on advancing critical hybrid cloud relationships and our efforts to realign our sales team accordingly negatively impacted our legacy on-premises expansions and legacy on-premises new customer acquisition revenue during the quarter. We don’t view our poor legacy results in Q1 as being a signal of accelerated legacy decline in the future," stated Brooks. "In fact, legacy recurring revenue renewal rates were 86% and ARR increased 4% year-over-year during the quarter. As we continue to reinvent FalconStor, we must simultaneously focus on driving new strategic hybrid cloud ARR growth and maintaining a solid legacy on-premises revenue base.”

First Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR): 4% year-over-year growth
Ending Cash: $3.4 million, compared to $2.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021
Total Revenue: $2.0 million, compared to $3.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021
Total Cost of Revenue: $0.4 million, compared to $0.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021
Total Operating Expenses: $2.7 million, compared to $3.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021
GAAP Net Income (Loss): $(1.1) million, compared to $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The Company’s management refers to these non-GAAP financial measures in making operating decisions because they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operating performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ operating results. We include these non-GAAP financial measures (which should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, their comparable GAAP measures) in this press release because we believe they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency into the supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude (i) restructuring costs, (ii) effects of our Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock, and (iii) non-cash stock-based compensation charges and any potential tax effects. For a reconciliation of our GAAP and non-GAAP financial results, please refer to our reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release.
