Digimarc Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Annual Recurring Revenue(1) Increases 85%

Subscription Gross Profit Margin(2) Expands to 87%

Digimarc Corporation reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

“Q1 was another strong quarter for Digimarc. Compared to the first quarter of 2023, we grew quarter-ending Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) 85%, grew commercial subscription revenue 52%, and expanded subscription gross profit margin 7.5 percentage points to 87.0%,” said Digimarc CEO Riley McCormack. “We are focused on positioning ourselves to convert our large Total Addressable Market (TAM) into substantial free cash flow by delivering high and long-lasting growth at world class operating margins. Q1 provided multiple tangible examples of our progress against this focus.”

First Quarter Financial Results

Subscription revenue for the first quarter of 2024 increased to $5.8 million compared to $3.9 million for the first quarter of 2023, primarily reflecting higher subscription revenue from new and existing commercial contracts.

Service revenue for the first quarter of 2024 increased to $4.2 million compared to $4.0 million for the first quarter of 2023, primarily reflecting the timing of government program work.

Total revenue for the first quarter of 2024 increased to $9.9 million compared to $7.8 million for the first quarter of 2023.

Gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2024 increased to 63% compared to 54% for the first quarter of 2023. Excluding amortization expense on acquired intangible assets, subscription gross profit margin increased to 87% from 80% while service gross profit margin slightly decreased to 56% from 57% for the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2024 increased to 78% compared to 73% for the first quarter of 2023.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024 decreased to $17.1 million compared to $19.0 million for the first quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024 decreased to $13.8 million compared to $15.5 million for the first quarter of 2023.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $10.3 million or ($0.50) per share compared to $14.0 million or ($0.70) per share for the first quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $5.5 million or ($0.27) per share compared to $9.0 million or ($0.45) per share for the first quarter of 2023.

At March 31, 2024, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $48.9 million compared to $27.2 million at December 31, 2023.

Forward-Looking Statements

Except for historical information contained in this release, the matters described in this release contain various “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements include statements identified by terminology such as “will,” “should,” “expects,” “estimates,” “predicts” and “continue” or other derivations of these or other comparable terms. These forward-looking statements are statements of management’s opinion and are subject to various assumptions, risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances. Actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied from the statements in this release as a result of changes in economic, business and regulatory factors. More detailed information about risk factors that may affect actual results are outlined in the company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and in subsequent periodic reports filed with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date of this release. Except as required by law, Digimarc undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross profit margin, Non-GAAP operating expenses, Non-GAAP net loss, and Non-GAAP loss per share (diluted). See below for a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. These non-GAAP financial measures are an important measure of our operating performance because they allow management, investors and analysts to evaluate and assess our core operating results from period-to-period after removing non-cash and non-recurring activities that affect comparability. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons.

Digimarc believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures, together with the reconciliation to GAAP, helps management and investors make comparisons between us and other companies. In making any comparisons to other companies, investors need to be aware that companies use different non-GAAP measures to evaluate their financial performance. Investors should pay close attention to the specific definition being used and to the reconciliation between such measures and the corresponding GAAP measures provided by each company under applicable SEC rules. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. In order to facilitate a clear understanding of its consolidated historical operating results, investors should examine Digimarc’s non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with its historical GAAP financial information, and investors should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental to, and should not be considered as alternatives to, GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures may not be indicative of the historical operating results of the Company nor are they intended to be predictive of potential future results.
