Accolade Announces Results for Fiscal Third Quarter 2023

  • Fiscal third quarter 2023 revenue of $90.9 million, a 9% increase compared to fiscal third quarter 2022 revenue of $83.5 million 

SEATTLE, Jan. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Accolade, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACCD) today announced financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended November 30, 2022.

“Accolade enters the new year having just concluded one of the strongest selling performances in our company’s history. Notably, the strength in our business is driven by the increasing diversity in our platform across solutions, customer types, distribution channels, and industry sectors. Accolade is leading the conversation with customers because of our proven track record of delivering measurable improvements in health and cost outcomes, and because our solutions are Engineered to Care,” said Rajeev Singh, Accolade Chief Executive Officer.

“Innovations in digital health have created tremendous opportunities to advance the way healthcare is experienced in this country, but digital solutions alone are not enough to reinvent the healthcare journey. Accolade has spent more than 15 years engineering a better healthcare experience, one that predictively engages members to understand their care needs, proactively navigates them to quality care and informed decisions, and addresses barriers including Social Determinants of Health. There is a personal element of the care journey that we can’t fully replace with technology, but that we can make better through engineering. Our customers recognize the vision we share, and have responded by helping us create the foundation for years of growth and innovation.”

Steve Barnes, Accolade Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Accolade again delivered against our financial promises on the strength of our diversified business and track record of delivering success for our customers. On the strength of our bookings performance throughout last year, we are pleased to introduce preliminary fiscal year 2024 guidance that reaffirms both our revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA targets. We are firmly on track and remain committed to delivering positive Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow in fiscal year 2025.”

Financial Outlook

Accolade provides forward-looking guidance on revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure.

For the fiscal fourth quarter ending February 28, 2023, we expect:

  • Revenue between $97 million and $101 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA between $(1) million and $3 million

For the fiscal year ending February 28, 2023, we expect:

  • Revenue between $361 million and $365 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA between $(36) million and $(40) million

For the fiscal year ending February 29, 2024, we are introducing preliminary revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance as follows:

  • Revenue of approximately $410 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA between (5)% to (7)% of revenue

Accolade has not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and has not provided forward-looking guidance for net loss, because there are items that may impact net loss, including stock-based compensation, that are not within the company’s control or cannot be reasonably predicted.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures to help us evaluate trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness and efficiency of our operations, and determine employee incentives. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. In evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures, you should be aware that in the future we expect to incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these expenses or any unusual or nonrecurring items.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin

Adjusted Gross Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as revenue less cost of revenue, excluding depreciation and amortization, and excluding stock-based compensation and severance costs. We define Adjusted Gross Margin as our Adjusted Gross Profit divided by our revenue. We believe Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin are useful to investors, as they eliminate the impact of certain noncash expenses and allow a direct comparison of these measures between periods without the impact of noncash expenses and certain other nonrecurring operating expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude interest expense (income), net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition and integration-related costs, goodwill impairment, change in fair value of contingent consideration, severance costs, and other expense (income). We consider severance costs to include severance payments related to the realignment of our resources. Other expense (income) includes foreign exchange gain or loss. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with useful information on period-to-period performance as evaluated by management and comparison with our past financial performance. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this measure generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary from company to company for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA have certain limitations, including that they exclude the impact of certain non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization, whereas underlying assets may need to be replaced and result in cash capital expenditures, and stock-based compensation expense, which is a recurring charge.

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, a reconciliation of our revenue to Adjusted Gross Profit:
