Management Commentary

“Our strong financial results for the third quarter reflect the continued execution of our strategic plan to grow our cloud business and scale our SaaS recurring revenue base,” said Qumu President and CEO TJ Kennedy. “Today, we have a growing SaaS ARR business, which totaled $13.1 million at quarter end, up 13% year-to-date and 19% year-over-year. At the same time, as a result of the cost-optimization measures we implemented in the quarter, we were able drive a 9% sequential decrease in operating expenses and an approximate $3 million decrease in cash burn during the period. Operationally, our partner and direct sales motions are gaining traction, while our customer success efforts are deepening relationships and driving growth in our subscription ARR and cloud conversions.”

Rose Bentley, Qumu’s Chief Operating Officer, commented: “One of our most important growth initiatives involves extending Qumu's footprint and value to customers through strategic partnerships and alliances. All of our new customers in Q3 were partner led, demonstrating the early traction of this partner-first strategy; long term, we believe strongly in the channel’s ability to materially enhance our direct sales efforts. Importantly, the partner-led process creates less friction and shortens sales cycles because our partners know their customers’ needs, and already have a contractual relationship in place. It’s because of this dynamic that we have placed even more emphasis on expanding our channel-led salesforce to scale our customer footprint and create new revenue streams for Qumu more rapidly.”

“Beyond the critical role partnerships are playing, our customer success team remains an equally important component of our go-forward strategy,” said Kennedy. “This new group has been key in retaining customers, securing more on-time renewals, and driving expansion over the past several months. In Q3 we had a company-best result in on-time renewals, surpassing the previous record we achieved just last quarter. Our customer success initiatives have also led to expansion with existing customers, supporting increased retention of our SaaS customers, and propelling the SaaS subscription engine we’re building.”

Kennedy continued: “Our partner and direct go-to-market motions, targeting both large and medium enterprises, are gaining traction. The execution of our strategic plan has enabled us to deliver robust SaaS growth and generate momentum heading into the remainder of the year and into 2022. Looking ahead, we remain on track to achieve our SaaS ARR growth and revenue mix targets, including growing our SaaS recurring revenue as a percentage of our recurring revenue to 50% this year, 60% by the end of 2022, and 70% by the end of 2023. Longer term, we are confident that Qumu will emerge as a subscription driven, growth company operating at scale, benefiting from high-margin recurring revenues, sustainable and growing adjusted EBITDA, and net income profitability.”

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Revenue for Q3 2021 was $6.4 million, an increase of 10% compared to $5.9 million in Q2 2021 and a decrease of 3% compared to $6.6 million in Q3 2020. The year-over-year decrease resulted as management placed less emphasis on pursuing perpetual license sales, for which revenue is recognized upon delivery, as part of the Company's accelerated implementation of its SaaS-focused strategic plan, which results in ratable recognition of revenue through subscription terms.

Subscription, maintenance, and support revenue for Q3 2021 was $5.1 million, an increase of 2% compared to $5.0 million in Q2 2021 and an increase of 1% compared to $5.0 million in Q3 2020. The year-over-year increase resulted from on-premise to cloud conversions as well as incremental cloud customer expansions.

Gross margin in Q3 2021 was 76%, an improvement compared to 74% in Q2 2021 and 75% in Q3 2020. The gross margin percentage increase was primarily due to improvements to more SaaS in our sales mix.

Net loss in Q3 2021 totaled $(3.7) million, or $(0.21) loss per basic and diluted share. This compares to net loss of $(4.3) million, or $(0.24) loss per basic share and $(0.30) loss per diluted share, for Q2 2021 and net loss of $(1.9) million, or $(0.14) loss per basic and diluted share, in Q3 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA loss, a non-GAAP measure, in Q3 2021 was $(3.5) million, compared to $(4.5) million in Q2 2021 and $(839,000) in Q3 2020.

As of September 30, 2021, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $18.2 million and no borrowings on the company’s revolving credit facility.

Business Outlook

Qumu provides guidance based on current market conditions and expectations. The Company emphasizes that its guidance is subject to various important cautionary factors referenced in the section entitled "Forward-Looking Statements" below, including risks and uncertainties associated with the Company’s strategic plan and the COVID-19 pandemic, such as trends in distributed remote and hybrid work impacting enterprise technology adoption and procurement.

To give insight into the progress of Qumu’s SaaS business transformation, the Company provides a business outlook based on the percentage of recurring revenue comprised of SaaS revenue. Qumu management reiterated its expectation that SaaS recurring revenue will comprise approximately 60% of its overall recurring revenue mix by the end of 2022, with targeted growth to approximately 70% by the end of 2023.

Reclassification of Recurring Term Software License Revenue

During Q3 2021, the Company reclassified revenue recognized for recurring term software license agreements from service revenue to software licenses and appliances revenue, similar to perpetual software licenses. These recurring term software licenses have significant standalone functionality and, subsequent to delivery of the software, Qumu's activities do not substantively change the functionality and do not significantly affect the use of the software delivered. Amounts and percentages following the reclassification for previous quarters for the current and prior years are as follows:

Non-GAAP Information

To supplement the company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the company uses adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, which excludes certain items from net loss, a GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA excludes items related to interest income and expense, the impact of income-based taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of derivative and warrant liabilities, foreign currency gains and losses, other non-operating income and expenses, and transaction-related expenses.

The company uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when planning, monitoring, and evaluating the company’s performance. The company believes that adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides supplemental information that allows investors to review the company's results of operations from the same perspective as management and the company's board of directors. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding our operating results. The non-GAAP results should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

See the attached Supplemental Financial Information for a reconciliation of net loss, a GAAP measure, to adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
