Q2 Holdings, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results

August 7, 2018

Total second quarter revenue of $58.6 million, up 23 percent year-over-year, and up 7 percent from the previous quarter

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Q2 Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:QTWO), a leading provider of secure, experience-driven digital banking solutions, today announced results for its second quarter ending June 30, 2018.

Second Quarter 2018 Results

  • Revenue for the second quarter of $58.6 million, up 23 percent year-over-year and up 7 percent from the previous quarter.
  • GAAP gross margin for the second quarter of 50.0 percent, up from 48.9 percent one year ago. Non-GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of 53.3 percent, up from 52.6 percent one year ago.
  • GAAP net loss for the second quarter of $8.6 million, which compares to a GAAP net loss of $7.8 million for the second quarter of 2017, and $6.0 million for the first quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of positive $5.1 million, an improvement from positive $1.4 million one year ago and positive $5.0 million for the first quarter of 2018.

“The second quarter was defined by broad-based strength across multiple products and end markets,” said Matt Flake, CEO of Q2. “On the product side, our corporate banking, Q2 Open and Centrix products contributed to another quarter of solid bookings. Looking at our end market, I would call out the strong contributions from banks outside the Tier-1 space. Year to date, our bookings from this market now exceed our total bookings from these same customers in 2017.”

Second Quarter 2018 Highlights.

  • Signed a Top 50 credit union with $6 billion in assets as a corporate banking customer, one of six net new corporate banking wins in the quarter.
  • Exited the second quarter with more than 11.4 million registered users on the Q2 platform, representing 19 percent year-over-year growth and up 5 percent sequentially.
  • Q2 Open momentum continues, signing six net new deals in the quarter representing a wide variety of fintechs.

Financial Outlook

Q2 Holdings is providing guidance for its third quarter 2018 as follows:

  • Total revenue of $59.7 million to $60.3 million, which would represent year-over-year growth of 19 percent to 20 percent.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $5.0 million to $5.4 million. GAAP net loss is the most comparable GAAP measure to adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA differs from GAAP net loss in that it excludes things such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, interest, income taxes and unoccupied lease charges. Q2 Holdings is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of these exclusions without unreasonable effort. Therefore, Q2 Holdings has not provided guidance for GAAP net loss or a reconciliation of the foregoing forward-looking adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP net loss.

Q2 Holdings is providing guidance for the full-year 2018 as follows:

  • Total revenue of $238.0 million to $239.2 million, which would represent year-over-year growth of approximately 23 percent.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $22.1 million to $23.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA differs from GAAP net loss in that it excludes things such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, interest, income taxes and unoccupied lease charges. Q2 Holdings is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of these exclusions without unreasonable effort. Therefore, Q2 Holdings has not provided guidance for GAAP net loss or a reconciliation of the foregoing forward-looking adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP net loss.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Q2 uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted EBITDA; non-GAAP gross margin; non-GAAP gross profit; non-GAAP sales and marketing expense; non-GAAP research and development expense; non-GAAP general and administrative expense; non-GAAP operating loss; and, non-GAAP net loss. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful measures of operating performance because they exclude items that Q2 does not consider indicative of its core performance.

In the case of adjusted EBITDA, Q2 adjusts net loss for such things as interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related costs, amortization of technology and intangibles, and unoccupied lease charges. In the case of non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP gross profit, Q2 adjusts gross profit and gross margin for stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired technology. In the case of non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP research and development expense, and non-GAAP general and administrative expense, Q2 adjusts the corresponding GAAP expense to exclude stock-based compensation. In the case of non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP net loss, Q2 adjusts operating loss and net loss, respectively, for stock-based compensation, acquisition related-costs, amortization of acquired technology, amortization of acquired intangibles, and unoccupied lease charges.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, the closest GAAP measures, or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation to the closest GAAP measures of these non-GAAP measures is contained in tabular form on the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Q2’s management uses these non-GAAP measures as measures of operating performance; to prepare Q2’s annual operating budget; to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of Q2’s business; to evaluate the effectiveness of Q2’s business strategies; to provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance; to facilitate a comparison of Q2’s results with those of other companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results; and in communication with our board of directors concerning Q2’s financial performance.
