Management Commentary
“Our first quarter results show the continued execution of our strategy to grow our cloud business and scale our SaaS revenue base,” said Qumu President and CEO Rose Bentley. “Our ongoing success is highlighted by the 15% SaaS revenue growth we generated in the first quarter, bringing our total SaaS revenue as a percentage of our total revenue to 54%. During Q1, we landed several new wins and key customer expansions, both of which support our view that Qumu’s transformation is well underway. Our partner-led sales motions are working, demonstrated by the fact that 75% of our wins in Q1 were through channel partners, including Kollective, BT, and Socialive. The traction we realized also demonstrates our execution against our strategy around customers, product adoption, innovation, and partners.”
Qumu CFO Tom Krueger commented: “Our commitment to driving our cloud business and scaling our SaaS revenue base continues to translate to robust growth across our key metrics, a trend we expect to continue in 2022 and beyond. Our encouraging SaaS and recurring revenue growth is supported by our solid balance sheet, including $15.5 million of cash, a level that provides sufficient runway to execute our growth strategy. In addition to
1


diligently managing our cash, we are continually looking to further optimize our cost structure and drive greater efficiencies.”
Bentley continued: “As we continue to transform our business, we remain committed to generating robust SaaS revenue growth through new customer and expansion bookings sourced through the channel. Looking ahead, the progress we’re making with partners and strategic alliances is gaining traction. We entered the second quarter with a robust pipeline that we look to capitalize on throughout the year. Our plan is supported by a solid cash position and available resources that provide sufficient runway to execute our growth strategy.
“The leadership team and Board remain highly confident that Qumu will emerge as a subscription-driven growth company operating at scale, benefiting from high-margin recurring revenues, sustainable and growing cash flow and adjusted EBITDA and net income profitability.”
First Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Revenue for Q1 2022 was $4.9 million, compared to $5.9 million in Q4 2021 and $5.8 million in Q1 2021. The sequential and year-over-year decrease was due to the company’s strategic shift away from perpetual license sales, where revenue is recognized upon delivery, and toward SaaS sales, which results in ratable recognition of revenue through subscription terms.
Service revenue for Q1 2022 was $4.8 million, compared to $5.8 million in Q4 2021 and $5.7 million in Q1 2021. The year-over-year decrease resulted from customer contracts sunsetting, impacting maintenance revenue associated with the company’s on-premise solution. Subscription and support revenue, which is included in service revenue and comprises the company's SaaS revenue, was $2.7 million for Q1 2022, compared to $2.8 million in Q4 2021 and $2.3 million in Q1 2021. The slight sequential decrease in subscription revenue was expected. Going forward, the company expects subscription revenue will grow as Qumu continues to execute on its cloud transformation strategy.
Gross margin in Q1 2022 was 71.5%, compared to gross margin of 74.5% for Q4 2021 and 73.1% for Q1 2021. The gross margin percentage was lower due to lower services margin and lower overall revenue relative to the comparative periods. The company expects quarterly consolidated gross margin for the remainder of 2022 to return to the mid-70% range, which is consistent with 2021 levels.
Net loss in Q1 2022 totaled $(4.6) million, or $(0.26) loss per basic and diluted share. This compares to net loss of $(3.8) million, or $(0.21) loss per basic and diluted share, for Q4 2021 and net loss of $(4.5) million, or $(0.27) loss per basic share and $(0.29) loss per diluted share, in Q1 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA loss, a non-GAAP measure, in Q1 2022 was $(4.1) million, compared to $(3.1) million in Q4 2021 and $(4.1) million in Q1 2021.
As of March 31, 2022, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $15.5 million.
Business Outlook
Qumu provides guidance based on current market conditions and expectations. The company emphasizes that its guidance is subject to various important cautionary factors referenced in the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” below, including risks and uncertainties associated with the company’s strategic plan, transition to SaaS recurring revenue through channel partners, and the COVID-19 pandemic, such as trends in distributed remote and hybrid work impacting enterprise technology adoption and procurement.
To give insight into the progress of Qumu’s SaaS business transformation, the company provides a business outlook based on the percentage of recurring revenue comprised of SaaS revenue. Qumu’s management reiterated its expectation that SaaS recurring revenue will comprise approximately 65% of its overall recurring revenue mix by the end of 2022, with targeted growth to approximately 75% of recurring revenue mix by the end of 2023.

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 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 derivative and warrant liabilities, foreign currency gains and losses, 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 loss, a GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Exhibit 99.2
Qumu Corporation
First Quarter 2022
Earnings Conference Call
May 12, 2022
Operator
Welcome to Qumu’s first quarter 2022 conference call. My name is Eli, and I will be your operator this afternoon. Joining us is Qumu’s President and CEO Rose Bentley, CFO Tom Krueger, and Matt Glover from Gateway Investor Relations.
At this time, all participant lines are in listen-only mode. After the speaker presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session. To ask a question during the session, you will need to press *1 on your telephone. If you require any further assistance, please press *0.
I would now like to turn the call over to Matt Glover. Sir, you may begin.
Matt Glover – Qumu Investor Relations
Thanks, operator, and good afternoon, everyone…
After the market close today, Qumu issued a press release announcing its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022, a copy of which is available on the Investor Relations section of the company’s website.
During today’s call, management will make certain statements with respect to the Company’s expected financial results, the Company’s go-to-market strategy, and efforts designed to increase the company’s traction and penetration with customers. These statements are forward-looking and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially.
Please note these forward-looking statements reflect management’s opinions only as of the date of this call, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements -- whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.
Please refer to Qumu’s SEC filings, specifically its Form 10-Q and financial results press release, for a more detailed description of risk factors that may affect the Company’s results.
During the call today, management will discuss adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. In the Company’s press release and filings with the SEC, both of which are posted on the Company’s website, you will find additional disclosures regarding this non-GAAP measure, including a reconciliation of this measure with its comparable GAAP measure. Non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from — a substitute for — or superior to GAAP results. The Company encourages you to consider all measures when analyzing its performance.
I would like to remind everyone that this call is being recorded and will be made available for replay via a link available in the investor relations section of Qumu’s website.
Now I will turn it over to Qumu’s President and CEO Rose Bentley.
Rose?
Rose Bentley – President and CEO
Thank you, Matt. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. It’s great to be here with you as Qumu’s new president and CEO.
As many of you know, I joined Qumu as COO in March 2021. Since joining the company, I have played a key role in the development and execution of Qumu’s strategic roadmap, which emphasizes growing our cloud business, leveraging innovative technology, and scaling our SaaS revenue base. As COO, I spearheaded Qumu’s partner-led sales motions and customer experience efforts, which continue to be a critical element in our ability to secure new logos, deepen customer relationships, and drive higher retention and cloud conversions.
My appointment will ensure absolute continuity in leadership and execution of strategy and is a direct reflection of a succession plan we’ve had in place for several months. For those of you that I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting, prior to Qumu I held leadership roles at several SaaS technology companies. Most recently, I led operations and
1


strategy for Teradata, a $1.8 billion revenue analytics company, where I played an important part of the company’s successful transition from a perpetual license business model to a subscription-based, cloud-first revenue model. Teradata’s transition was, in many ways, similar to the transformation currently underway at Qumu and has given me a playbook to reference along this journey.
Looking ahead, I appreciate the opportunity to lead Qumu into this next stage of development. I also look forward to building stronger relationships with existing partners and customers as well as making new connections with our investors and other stakeholders over the coming months.
Switching gears to our recent performance, during the first quarter we landed several new wins and key customer expansions, both of which support our view that Qumu’s transformation is well underway. Our partner-led sales motions are working, demonstrated by the fact that 75% of our wins in Q1 were through channel partners, including Kollective, BT, and Socialive. The traction we realized also demonstrates our execution against our strategy around customers, product adoption, innovation and partners.
Our performance is now also translating to growing SaaS metrics and KPIs. As we’ve mentioned previously, our team is committed to driving our cloud business and scaling our SaaS revenue base. We expect this trend to continue in 2022 and beyond.
Highlighting our ongoing success is the 15% year-over-year SaaS revenue growth we generated in the first quarter, bringing our total SaaS revenue as a percentage of our total revenue to 54%, up from 46% in the prior quarter and 40% in Q1 of last year. On top of this, our SaaS revenue as a percentage of recurring revenue continues to grow, up to 60% in Q1, compared to 56% in the prior quarter and 46% in Q1 of last year. Additionally, our SaaS annual recurring revenue, or ARR, increased 10% year-over-year to a record $13.0 million.
Our encouraging SaaS and recurring revenue growth is supported by our solid balance sheet, including $15.5 million of cash, a level that provides significant runway to execute our strategy. In addition to diligently managing our cash, the leadership team and I are continually looking for areas to further optimize costs and drive efficiencies.
I’ll now turn it over to our CFO Tom to provide more detail on our Q1 financial performance.
Tom?
Tom Krueger – Chief Financial Officer
Thanks, Rose. It’s a pleasure to be speaking with you today.
Like last quarter, I will expand on a few items not already addressed by Rose or included in our earnings release this afternoon.
The metrics that we use to measure the success of our SaaS transformation continue to move in the right direction. Now let’s look at them…
As Rose mentioned, during Q1 subscription ARR increased 10% to $13.0 million from $11.8 million in Q1 2021 and increased sequentially from $12.8 million in Q4 2021.
Our SaaS KPIs remain strong with Gross Retention Rate, or GRR, at 88% at quarter end, and Net Retention Rate, or NRR, at 107% at quarter end.
Moving on to operating expenses and adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure:
Our transformation is also focused on rationalizing our cost structure and realizing efficiencies to reduce cash burn. Our total operating expenses in the first quarter of 2022 were $8.2 million, down 3% sequentially and 10% year-over-year. Going forward, we will reduce operating expenses, as needed, to align resources with Qumu’s strategic plan for the balance of 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was a loss of $(4.1) million in Q1 2022, compared to a loss of $(3.1) million in Q4 2021. Net loss was $(4.6) million for Q1 2022, compared to net loss of $(3.8) million in Q4 of 2021. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, to net loss, a GAAP measure, is included in our earnings releases for the respective periods.
Now, for the balance sheet.
At the end of Q1 2022, our cash position was as expected and tracking to plan at $15.5 million.
2


We continue to tightly manage cash and have seen an improvement to cash burn after initiating our cost-optimization program in Q3 last year. We will continue to monitor expenses and leverage our available credit facility to align expenditures with bookings and collections on our path to becoming cash flow positive.
As Rose mentioned, we believe that our cash position and available liquidity resources provide sufficient runway to execute our SaaS-growth transformation strategy and get to cash flow profitability.
That concludes my prepared remarks. I’ll turn it back over to Rose to discuss our strategy, key partnerships, and our outlook.
Rose?
Rose Bentley – President and CEO
Thanks, Tom.
I am excited to lead Qumu at such an important moment – for both our company and the industry. Digital transformation is driving the convergence of networking, security and viewer experience as technology teams realize the challenges of delivering video in complex enterprise environments. Distributed organizations globally are looking for a reliable end-to-end video solution to solve these challenges. With this approach, enterprises can also help reduce operational costs by moving to a single cloud-delivered solution. The need for an enterprise video platform that can provide the security, performance, features, and ease of administration has never been greater.
The progress we're making with partners and strategic alliances continues to gain momentum, demonstrated by the new customer and expansion sales to large enterprises we secured in the first quarter. Qumu’s recent wins span a variety of use cases, serviced by cloud and hybrid solutions. A few of our notable new customers include a prominent global automaker and mobility provider, a leading multinational energy company, and top global banking and financial companies. These great wins are the result of our dedication to the strategy and collaboration with our partners.
Perhaps our most important partnership we are currently working on is with AT&T where we’ve collaborated to deliver a cloud-based unified video experience for enterprises with video content management, streaming, enterprise signage and IPTV. This partnership is a major win for us, as it was a highly competitive selection process where Qumu’s technology and track record edged out much larger, more well-known brands.
This innovative solution, which is available to AT&T customers today, brings video content management and streaming, enterprise signage and IPTV – all enhanced by AT&T’s Fiber and 5G networks and the Qumu Video Engagement Platform together in one solution. The inclusion of management services helps to relieve the burden of deployment and day-to-day support, with AT&T video experts acting as an extension to IT and webcasting teams. The feedback and response from AT&T’s customers are encouraging. We have a strong and healthy pipeline and expect to close our first deal together in Q2.
In addition to AT&T, we formed a joint reseller partnership with LiveU, a leader in live video streaming and remote production solutions. LiveU excels at delivering live HD/4K video, anytime, anywhere, over the public internet. We have already successfully collaborated with LiveU on high stakes live events for a major automaker and one of the country’s largest healthcare companies.
The expanded partnership enables our respective enterprise clients to produce, deliver, store, and distribute broadcast-quality video, including live video from corporate events. It also extends our ability to support enterprise customers wanting to produce and stream live events reliably and securely over the public internet. LiveU customers who engage Qumu will gain access to the storage, content management, distribution, and analytics capabilities of Qumu’s Video Engagement platform. We’re really excited about the expanded relationship and expect to land several new wins together this year.
We continue to see momentum with large enterprises deploying our video engagement platform. During Q1, we expanded the use of our platform in key accounts in the healthcare and manufacturing industries, including a transition from on-prem to cloud and user expansion with one of the largest automakers in the U.S. Additionally, we signed new and expansion agreements for asynchronous video deployments, which added nearly a million new users to the platform in Q1. Leading organizations are recognizing that today’s environment requires reliable, secure, and scalable video communications to help them accelerate their digital transformation efforts. It’s rewarding to be part of their video strategy in this new era of hybrid work.
Overall, our partner ecosystem allows us to deliver more value for our current customers by providing them with the end-to-end solution they need to deliver against their video needs. A partner-led strategy keeps our customers at

the heart of all that we do, in every decision that we make, and on a path to leverage the best in breed video solution at scale.
Put together, our sales momentum not only reflects the success of our sales motions and innovative technology, but also our industry-leading customer support, which continues to differentiate us in the market. Qumu recently won its fourth consecutive Stevie Aware for Customer Service, a recognition that notable technology companies and brands like Google, Optum Health, Zappos.com, Wyndham Resorts and Aflac, have won previously. We’re proud of this award as it’s a direct reflection of our team’s unwavering commitment to the customer and providing the best service possible, day-in and day-out.
As we continue to transform our business, we remain committed to generating robust SaaS revenue growth through new customer and expansion bookings sourced through the channel. Looking ahead, the progress we’re making with partners and strategic alliances is gaining traction. We entered the second quarter with a robust pipeline that we look to capitalize on throughout the year. Our plan is supported by a solid cash position and available resources that provide sufficient runway to execute our growth strategy.
Going forward, we continue to expect our SaaS recurring revenue as a percentage of our total recurring revenue to be at least 65% by the end of 2022 and 75% by the end of 2023. We continue to expect to crossover to cash flow breakeven during 2023.
The leadership team and I remain confident that Qumu will emerge as a subscription-driven growth company operating at scale, benefiting from high-margin recurring revenues, sustainable and growing cash flow and adjusted EBITDA and net income profitability.
