AgileThought Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Continued Progress Towards Long-Term Goals

IRVING, Texas, May 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgileThought, Inc. (“AgileThought” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AGIL), a global provider of digital transformation services, custom software development, and next generation technologies, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

First Quarter 2023 Highlights and Results:

  • Revenue was $41.8 million, down 5.4% year over year from $44.2 million in Q1 2022 and down 2.8% sequentially from $43.1 million in Q4 2022, as the company continues to exit non-core revenues, and also witnessed some market volatility since mid-March.
  • Gross margin of 34.2% increased 290 bps year-over-year from 31.3% in Q1 2022, and increased 260 bps sequentially from 31.6% in Q4 2022. This implies a gross profit increase of 3.4% from Q1 2022 and a 5.2% increase from Q4 2022.
  • Four new clients added during the quarter.

“I am proud of our first quarter achievements. While the revenues in the quarter were below our guidance, impacted by the recent market volatility, we took strides in building our pipeline and feel strongly about the second half of this year. We continued our exit from non-core revenues, and small non-strategic accounts, which helped us perform better than expected on gross margin and is expected to help us towards revenue growth and improved gross margin. We look forward to continuing to enhance relationships with new and current clients by staying at the forefront of transformational technologies. Recently, we launched two new guilds: Applied AI and Gaming and appointed Eric Purdum as our new CRO. All these changes are key to position AgileThought as the market leader,” commented AgileThought Chief Executive Officer Manuel Senderos.

“Our continued exit from non-core revenues and small non-strategic accounts, along with our robust deal governance structure, helped us grow our gross margin and is expected to help us improve our SGA in the coming quarters. Together, this gives us confidence in achieving strong Adjusted Operating Income this year, and improving Adjusted Operating margin levels in the not too distant future. While the recent market volatility impacts our revenue projection for the full year, our improvements in gross margin and SGA are expected to help us achieve better Adjusted Operating Income for the full year than we previously expected,” commented AgileThought Chief Financial Officer Amit Singh.

Full Year 2023 Outlook

The table below summarizes AgileThought’s financial outlook for the full year of 20231.

  • Revenues for the full year 2023 of at least $185.0 million, implying at least 4.6% year over year growth
  • Gross margin for the full year 2023 in 34.5% to 35.5% range
  • Adjusted Operating Income for the full year of at least $13.7 million, implying at least 20.2% year over year growth
  • Our outlook reflects the Company’s ongoing exit from non-core business and small non-strategic accounts.

The above outlook is dependent on the availability to us of sufficient liquidity and capital resources. We are in default with respect to our principal financing arrangements and there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As of April 30, 2023, we had available cash of $1.8 million. We are evaluating strategies to obtain the required additional funding for future operations , which strategies may include, but are not limited to, seeking private equity financing, restructuring our debt, seeking for strategic merger and acquisition alternatives, and restructuring operations to increase revenues and decrease expenses.

The Company is not able, at this time, to provide GAAP targets for operating income for the second quarter of 2023 because of the difficulty of estimating certain items excluded from Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Income that cannot be reasonably predicted, such as the change in fair value of embedded derivative, plus the change in fair value of warrant liability, plus equity-based compensation expense, plus impairment charges, plus restructuring expenses, plus (gain) loss on business dispositions, plus loss on debt extinguishment, plus intangible assets amortization, plus certain transaction costs and certain other operating expense, net.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial data presented on a basis consistent with U.S. GAAP, we present certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Operating (Loss) Income, Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Diluted EPS. We have included the non-GAAP financial measures because they are financial measures used by our management to evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments and are among the factors analyzed in making performance-based compensation decisions for key personnel. The measures exclude certain expenses that are required under U.S. GAAP. We exclude certain non-cash expenses and certain items that are not part of our core operations.

We believe these supplemental performance measurements are useful in evaluating operating performance, as they are similar to measures reported by our public industry peers and those regularly used by security analysts, investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. The non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measures and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry.

There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, these measures may differ from the non-GAAP information, even where similarly titled, used by other companies and therefore should not be used to compare our performance to that of other companies. We compensate for these limitations by providing investors and other users of our financial information a reconciliation of our non-GAAP measures to the related GAAP financial measure. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view our non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures.

We define and calculate our non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

  • Adjusted Operating (Loss) Income: Loss from operations adjusted to exclude the change in fair value of embedded derivative, plus the change in fair value of warrant liability, plus equity-based compensation expense, plus impairment charges, plus restructuring expenses, plus (gain) loss on business dispositions, plus loss on debt extinguishment, plus intangible assets amortization, plus certain transaction costs and certain other operating expense, net.
  • Adjusted Net Loss: Net loss adjusted to exclude the change in fair value of embedded derivative, plus the change in fair value of warrant liability, plus equity-based compensation expense, plus impairment charges, plus restructuring expenses, plus (gain) loss on business dispositions, plus foreign exchange loss (gain), plus loss (gain) on debt extinguishment and debt forgiveness, plus intangible assets amortization, plus certain transaction costs, plus paid in kind interest and amortization of debt issuance cost and certain other expense, net.
  • Adjusted Diluted EPS: Adjusted Net loss, divided by the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

Reconciliation of Loss from Operations to Adjusted Operating (Loss) Income

The following table presents the reconciliation of our Adjusted Operating (Loss) Income to our Loss from operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for the periods indicated:
