Synchronoss Technologies Q3 2023 Financial Results:
Comparing the fiscal third quarter ending September 30, 2023, to the same period in 2022, the company disclosed key financial metrics that offer insights into its performance.
– Total Revenue: Total revenue witnessed a 7.1% decline, totaling $55.6 million, down from $59.9 million in the previous year. This dip was attributed primarily to delays in decision-making processes related to key customer contracts in the Messaging and NetworkX businesses. However, this was partially offset by the growth in Cloud revenues, driven by increased subscriber adoption and professional services linked to the SoftBank launch.
– Gross Profit: The gross profit reported an increase of 1.9% to $30.7 million (55.2% of total revenue) from $30.2 million (50.4% of total revenue) in the corresponding period of the prior year. This growth in gross profit was attributed to the higher concentration of Cloud revenue within the total revenue.
– (Loss) Income from Operations: (Loss) income from operations stood at $(2.9) million, in contrast to $1.3 million in 2022. The upswing in operating loss was primarily due to impairments on a note receivable during the third quarter, reflecting in the selling, general, and administrative expenses.
– Net Loss: The net loss for Q3 2023 was $(5.2) million, or $(0.06) per share, compared to $(1.3) million, or $(0.01) per share, in the same period of the previous year. The increase in net loss was predominantly attributed to the aforementioned impairment.
– Adjusted EBITDA: The adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric, exhibited a notable increase of 16.7% to $13.4 million (24.0% of total revenue) from $11.5 million (19.1% of total revenue) in the prior year period. This growth was mainly driven by the more favorable revenue mix and a reduction in performance-related compensation expenses.
Financial Position and Outlook:
– Cash and Cash Equivalents: At the close of September 30, 2023, the company held $17.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $19.3 million at June 30, 2023, and $21.9 million at December 31, 2022.
– Free Cash Flow: The company reported a free cash flow of $1.1 million, while adjusted free cash flow stood at $3.9 million.
– Tax Refunds: During the period, the company did not receive additional tax refunds, leaving a remaining balance of approximately $28 million, expected to be received in the coming quarters.
– Capital Expectations: Management expressed confidence in not requiring additional capital for the foreseeable future.
