Second Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights

 

· Revenue: Revenue for Q2 2021 was $293.0 million, a decline of 4.8% compared to $307.7 million in Q2 2020. Revenue for the Information and Transaction Processing Solutions segment was $217.3 million, a decline of 10.6% year-over-year, primarily due to lower volumes as a result of COVID-19 and transition revenue (6) roll off. Exela believes it is well positioned to see volumes return in the ITPS segment once COVID-19 impacts subside. Healthcare Solutions revenue was $56.2 million, an increase of 14.3% year-over-year, primarily due to increased volumes driven by new statements of work, new customers and backlog from existing customers. Legal and Loss Prevention Services revenue was $19.5 million, an increase of 25.9% year-over-year.

 

· Operating income / (loss): Operating income for Q2 2021 was $25.4 million, compared with operating loss of $5.1 million in Q2 2020. The year-over-year improvement in operating income was primarily attributable to higher gross profit, lower SG&A costs, and lower depreciation and amortization expenses.

 

· Net Loss: Net loss for Q2 2021 was $19.4 million, compared with a net loss of $48.7 million in Q2 2020, primarily due to increased operating income and lower interest expense.

 

· Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2021 was $50.9 million, an increase of 18.0% compared to $43.1 million in Q2 2020. Adjusted EBITDA margin for Q2 2021 was 17.4%, an increase of 336 basis points from 14.0% in Q2 2020 and 189 basis points from 15.5% in Q1 2021.

 

· Common Stock: As of June 30, 2021, there were 70,409,282 total shares of common stock outstanding and an additional 1,245,758 shares of common stock reserved for issuance for our outstanding preferred shares on an as-converted basis.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures: This press release includes constant currency, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, each of which is a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Exela believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial performance, results of operations and liquidity and allows investors to better understand the trends in our business and to better understand and compare our results. Exela’s board of directors and management use constant currency, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess Exela’s financial performance, because it allows them to compare Exela’s operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of Exela’s capital structure (such as varying levels of debt and interest expense, as well as transaction costs resulting from the combination of Quinpario Acquisition Corp. 2, SourceHOV Holdings, Inc. and Novitex Holdings, Inc. on July 12, 2017 (the “Novitex Business Combination”) and capital markets-based activities). Adjusted EBITDA also seeks to remove the effects of integration and related costs to achieve the savings, any expected reduction in operating expenses due to the Novitex Business Combination, asset base (such as depreciation and amortization) and other similar non-routine items outside the control of our management team.  Optimization and restructuring expenses and merger adjustments are primarily related to the implementation of strategic actions and initiatives related to the Novitex Business Combination. All of these costs are variable and dependent upon the nature of the actions being implemented and can vary significantly driven by business needs. Accordingly, due to that significant variability, we exclude these charges since we do not believe they truly reflect our past, current or future operating performance. The constant currency presentation excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We calculate constant currency revenue and Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the exchange rates from the corresponding prior-period and compare these adjusted amounts to our corresponding prior period reported results. Exela does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to liquidity or financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. A limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Exela’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures and therefore the basis of presentation for these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are not required to be uniformly applied, are not audited and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Net loss is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to the non-GAAP measures presented here. For reconciliation of the comparable GAAP measures to these non-GAAP financial measures, see the schedules attached to this release.
