SEATTLE, Feb. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rover Group, Inc. (“Rover” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ROVR), the world’s largest online marketplace for pet care, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.

"Net income of $5.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $11.2 million highlighted a strong fourth quarter which closed out a year that saw our business grow substantially," said Rover co-founder and CEO, Aaron Easterly. "Our team's execution during 2022 was inspiring with record new customer acquisition, increased expected customer lifetime value ("LTVs"), and rapid international growth while demonstrating increased operating leverage. In light of our operating results and cash generation outlook, our board has authorized a $50 million share buyback program.”

  • GAAP net income and net income margin were $5.3 million and 10%, compared to a GAAP net income and net income margin of $33.9 million and 89% in Q4 2021, which included a $39.7 million non-cash fair value adjustment for warrant and earnout liabilities tied to the deSPAC transaction.
  • Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were $11.2 million and 22%, compared to $7.6 million and 20% in Q4 2021.

Full Year 2022 Highlights:

  • Revenue increased 58% to $174.0 million, compared to $109.8 million in 2021.
  • GBV grew 53% to $798.4 million, compared to $521.9 million in 2021.

  • Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were $20.8 million and 12%, compared to $12.4 million and 11% in 2021.

Guidance

First Quarter 2023

  • Revenue
    • Rover anticipates revenue in the range of $37 - $39 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA
    • Rover anticipates Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $(5) - $(3) million.

Full Year 2023

  • Revenue
    • Rover anticipates revenue in the range of $205 - $215 million, a year-over-year increase of 21% at the midpoint of the projected range.
  • Adjusted EBITDA
    • Rover anticipates Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $25 - $30 million.

Both the low and high ends of guidance include the impact of macroeconomic headwinds, inclusive of a mild to moderate recession, public health concerns, travel disruptions and a full year of normalized marketing expenses and operating costs compared to a partial year of each in 2022. First quarter guidance also reflects the seasonally low nature of the quarter.

Long-Term Targets

The company reiterated its previously stated long-term targets of:

  • Revenue growth: ~20-25%
  • Contribution margin: 80%+
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin: 30%+

In reliance on the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, Rover has not provided the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure to its Adjusted EBITDA guidance, Adjusted EBITDA margin long-term target or Contribution margin long-term target or a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measure as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as stock-based compensation, income tax, and change in fair value and loss from equity method investments. For example, the non-GAAP adjustment for stock-based compensation expense requires additional inputs such as number of shares granted and market price that are not currently ascertainable. Accordingly, a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP metrics to their corresponding GAAP equivalent is not available without unreasonable effort. Because these adjustments are inherently variable and uncertain and depend on various factors that are beyond Rover's control, Rover is also unable to predict their probable significance. For more information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this earnings release, please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Share Repurchase Program

Rover also announced that its board of directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $50 million of its Class A common stock. A goal of the repurchase program is to utilize Rover’s strong balance sheet to offset a portion of the dilution from employee equity incentive compensation programs.

Repurchases of the Class A common stock may be made on a discretionary basis from time to time through open market transactions (including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans) or through privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws and other legal requirements, including the requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The repurchase program does not obligate Rover to acquire any specific number of shares of its Class A common stock. The timing, volume and nature of repurchases will be determined by Rover’s management and depend on a variety of factors, including stock price, trading volume, market and economic conditions, other general business considerations such as alternative investment opportunities, applicable legal requirements, and other relevant factors. Repurchases under the program have been authorized for the next 12 months, but the program may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time at the discretion of Rover's board of directors.

Rover expects to fund the repurchases with existing cash and cash equivalents and investments. As of December 31, 2022, Rover had cash and cash equivalents and investments of approximately $273 million.

New bookings is defined as the total number of first-time bookings that new users, which Rover refers to as pet parents, book on our platform in a period. Repeat bookings are defined as the total number of bookings from pet parents who have ever had a previous booking on Rover, inclusive of pet parents who had their first booking within the same quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Rover's consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Rover uses non-GAAP financial measures in this earnings release and its related earnings call, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Contribution, Contribution margin, and non-GAAP operating expenses (collectively, the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”), each as defined below. A reconciliation of the historical Non-GAAP Financial Measures to their most directly comparable historical GAAP financial measures is presented in tabular form at the end of this release immediately following the GAAP financial statements. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures are supplemental measures of Rover's performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures have limitations as an analytical tool, which limitations are described below, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial measures.

Rover uses the Non-GAAP Financial Measures to evaluate the health of its business, measure its operating performance, identify trends, prepare financial forecasts and make strategic decisions, including those related to operating expenses, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Rover considers the Non-GAAP Financial Measures to be important measures because they help illustrate underlying trends in its business and its historical operating performance on a more consistent basis.

Rover believes that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures, when taken together with their corresponding comparable GAAP financial measure, provide meaningful supplemental information to investors as they provide a basis for period-to-period comparisons of Rover's business by excluding the effect of certain non-cash and cash gains, expenses, losses and variable charges that may not be indicative of its recurring core business, results of operations, or outlook. Rover believes these Non-GAAP Financial Measures are useful to investors because they (1) allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial, operational and strategic decision-making and in assessing the health of Rover's business and operating performance, (2) are used by Rover's institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of Rover's business, (3) allow investors and others to understand and evaluate Rover's operating results in the same manner as Rover's management and board of directors, and (4) provide a reasonable basis for comparing Rover's ongoing results of operations and those of other companies.

Examples of the limitations of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures include:

  • Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain recurring, non-cash charges, such as depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, and although these are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, Rover's working capital needs;
  • Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain restructuring and acquisition and merger-related charges, some or all of which may be settled in cash;
  • Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP operating expenses exclude stock-based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in Rover's business as it grows as a company and an important part of its compensation strategy;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the components of other income (expense), net, which consists primarily of interest income and expense; investment impairment; change in fair value of other investments, earnout liabilities and derivative warrant liabilities; realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and realized gains and losses from the change in fair value of investments and financial instruments and sales of such investments;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect period-to-period changes in taxes, income tax expense or the cash necessary to pay income taxes;
  • Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP general and administrative expense exclude certain legal settlements that may reduce cash available to Rover;
  • these measures exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Rover's financial statements;
  • these measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these Non-GAAP Financial Measures; and
  • Rover's calculation of these Non-GAAP Financial Measures may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures, if any, reported by Rover's peer companies, or those peer companies may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore Rover's use of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

To compensate for these limitations, management presents the Non-GAAP Financial Measures in conjunction with GAAP results. Rover encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view the Non-GAAP Financial Measures in conjunction with their respective related GAAP financial measures. In addition, such financial information is unaudited and does not conform to SEC Regulation S-X and as a result such information may be presented differently in Rover's future earnings releases and filings with the SEC.

The Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not indicative of Rover's overall results, an indicator of past or future financial performance, a financial measure of total company profitability, and are not intended to be used as a proxy for total company profitability nor imply profitability for Rover's business. Also, in the future Rover may incur expenses or charges such as those being adjusted in the calculation of these Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Rover's presentation of these Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

Rover defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, interest income, change in fair value, net, other income (expense), net, income tax expense or benefit, and non-routine items such as investment impairment, restructuring costs, certain acquisition and merger-related costs and transaction-related expenses, loss from equity method investments, and certain legal settlements. Adjusted EBITDA margin as presented in the reconciliation table below is Adjusted EBITDA for a period divided by revenue for the same period.

Rover defines Contribution as gross profit (loss) plus amortization of intangible assets and amortization of internally developed software related to cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown separately). Gross profit (loss) is defined as revenue less cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown separately) and amortization of intangible assets. Gross margin is calculated by dividing gross profit (loss) for a period by revenue for the same period. Contribution margin is calculated by dividing Contribution for a period by revenue for the same period.

Operating expenses consist of operations and support expense, marketing expense, product and development expense, and general and administrative expense. Rover defines Non-GAAP operating expenses as operating expenses excluding the non-cash expenses arising from the grant of stock-based awards, and in the case of non-GAAP general and administrative expense, excluding certain legal settlements. These non-GAAP operating expenses are also presented as a percentage of revenue, which is calculated by dividing the specific non-GAAP operating expense for a period by revenue for the same period.

Beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2022, Rover redefined Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP general and administrative expense to omit the impact of certain legal settlements, including the accrual for a previously announced settlement agreement, and in the case of Adjusted EBITDA to reflect the change in fair value of, and omit the loss from, a recent equity method investment. Legal settlement amounts were immaterial during the year ended December 31, 2021 and Rover did not have any equity method investments in the year ended December 31, 2021. Rover believes the adjustments described above are not indicative of its core operating performance and are useful to investors by enabling them to better assess its operating performance in the context of current period results and provide for better comparability with its historically disclosed Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP general and administrative expense amounts.
