Digimarc Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Revenue for the third quarter of 2022 increased 22% to $7.8 million compared to $6.4 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase in revenue primarily reflects the contribution of subscription and service revenue post acquisition from EVRYTHNG and $1.1 million of subscription revenue from a new commercial contract, partially offset by $0.6 million of lower subscription revenue as a result of sunsetting our Piracy Intelligence product and $0.4 million less service revenue due to the timing of HolyGrail recycling projects.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2022 was essentially flat when compared to the third quarter of 2021 reflecting $1.0 million of amortization expense recognized on the developed technology intangible asset acquired in the EVRYTHNG acquisition and $0.2 million lower service gross profit due to higher costs, offset by the $1.2 million of gross profit contribution from higher subscription revenue.

Non-GAAP gross profit for the third quarter of 2022 increased 24% to $5.6 million compared to $4.5 million in the third quarter of 2021.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2022 increased 62% to $19.7 million compared to $12.2 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase in operating expenses primarily reflects $4.2 million of operating expenses from EVRYTHNG post acquisition, $1.5 million of higher compensation costs due to annual compensation adjustments and higher headcount, and $1.4 million of severance costs incurred for organizational changes we made in the third quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP operating expenses for the third quarter of 2022 increased $5.4 million to $15.5 million compared to $10.1 million in the third quarter of 2021.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $14.9 million or $(0.76) loss per common share compared to $2.9 million or $(0.17) loss per common share in the third quarter of 2021.

Non-GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $9.3 million or $(0.47) loss per common share compared to $5.6 million or $(0.34) loss per common share in the third quarter of 2021.

At September 30, 2022, cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities totaled $56.4 million compared to $41.6 million at December 31, 2021.

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, 2021, 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 press 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 common 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.
