Qumu Announces Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2018 Results

Company delivers two quarters of positive adjusted EBITDA, and meets
all 2018 guidance for Bookings Growth, Revenue, Gross Margin and
Adjusted EBITDA

Conference Call Wednesday, March 6, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. ET

MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Qumu Corporation (NASDAQ: QUMU) today reported financial results for the
fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2018. The Company reported
fourth quarter revenue of $6.9 million, positive basic earnings per
share, net income of $48,000 and adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, of
$130,000, ending the year with cash of $8.6 million.

“Qumu delivered on our financial guidance for 2018, marking two
consecutive years of positive annual contract value growth, as well as
two quarters of positive adjusted EBITDA,” said Vern Hanzlik, Qumu’s
President and CEO. “As we continue to transition the company to a
recurring revenue model, we are positioned for growth with a strong cash
position and sales pipeline, a growing partner channel, and a leadership
position with all major analysts who cover our industry. These factors,
along with the announcement of our intelligent platform, give us a high
degree of confidence in the business as we enter 2019.”

Fourth quarter 2018 revenue was $6.9 million, compared to $7.2 million
in the fourth quarter 2017, and net income for the fourth quarter 2018
was $48,000, or $0.01 per basic share, compared to a net loss of $(3.2)
million, or $(0.35) per basic share, in the fourth quarter 2017.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $130,000 for the fourth quarter
2018, compared to $(805,000) for the fourth quarter 2017.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, revenue was $25.0 million,
compared to $28.2 million last year, and net loss was $(3.6) million, or
a loss of $(0.38) per basic share, compared to $(11.7) million, or a
loss of $(1.25) per basic share, for 2017. For the year ended December
31, 2018, adjusted EBITDA was $(3.5) million, compared to adjusted
EBITDA of $(4.6) million for 2017. The 2018 net loss included a $6.6
million gain on the third quarter 2018 sale of the Company’s investment
in BriefCam, Ltd. and reflected improved operating efficiencies. The
year-over-year revenue comparisons were favorably impacted by
approximately $778,000 and $201,000 for the three months and year ended
December 31, 2018, respectively, due to the adoption of the new revenue
recognition standard (ASC Topic 606).

Other Financial Highlights

  • Cash and cash equivalents totaled $8.6 million as of December 31,
    2018, compared to $7.7 million as of December 31, 2017 and $8.5
    million as of September 30, 2018.
  • Operating expenses decreased $719,000 and $3.3 million during the
    three months and year ended December 31, 2018, respectively, compared
    to the corresponding 2017 periods, reflecting the impact of the
    Company’s improved operating efficiencies.
  • Software license and appliance revenue was $1.5 million and $2.0
    million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017,
    respectively, and $5.8 million and $6.0 million for the years ended
    December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
  • Subscription, maintenance and support revenue was $4.9 million and
    $4.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017,
    respectively, and $17.1 million and $19.4 million for the years ended
    December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The year-over-year revenue
    comparisons were favorably impacted by $528,000 for the three months
    ended December 31, 2018 and negatively impacted by $212,000 for the
    year ended December 31, 2018 due to the adoption of the new revenue
    recognition standard (ASC Topic 606). Additionally, the loss of a
    large customer which was previously announced as lost in the fourth
    quarter 2017, negatively impacted the year-over-year revenue
    comparisons by $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.
  • Gross margin for the fourth quarter 2018 was 73.1%, compared to 65.7%
    for the fourth quarter 2017. Gross margin for the year ended December
    31, 2018 was 66.0%, compared to 63.6% for the year ended December 31,
    2017.

    margin percentage is expected to be in the high 60s to low 70s.

    interest expense of approximately $1.0 million, income tax benefit of

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 income (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 warrant
liabilities, foreign currency gains and losses, the gain on the sale of
the Company’s BriefCam investment, the loss on extinguishment of debt
and other non-operating income and 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 income (loss), a GAAP measure, to adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP
measure, for the three months and year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
