  • Instructure CEO, Steve Daly, highlighted the company's strong performance and growth prospects due to the Parchment acquisition.
Negative
  • None.

The reported full-year revenues of Instructure, showing an 11.6% increase and a significant rise in Adjusted EBITDA by 19.3%, signal a robust financial performance. The Adjusted EBITDA Margin expansion to 40.4% is particularly noteworthy, as it suggests improved operational efficiency. Investors should note the positive trend in cash flow from operations, which has grown by 16.9%. These factors combined indicate a solid financial position and could be seen as positive indicators for potential investment, as they reflect a company's ability to generate profits and manage expenses effectively.

However, it is important to consider the net loss reported, which, despite being a slight improvement over the prior year, still raises concerns about the company's profitability. The net loss margin has decreased, which is a positive sign, but the fact that the company is not yet profitable on a GAAP basis warrants careful analysis of its long-term sustainability and growth prospects. The acquisition of Parchment is expected to expand Instructure's scale and reach, which could lead to future revenue growth and potential market share increases. Yet, investors should closely monitor how this acquisition is integrated and whether it leads to expected synergies.

The acquisition of Parchment by Instructure is a strategic move to cement its position in the credentialing platform market. This expansion could potentially open up new revenue streams and customer segments, which is critical in the competitive edtech industry. The reported increase in Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) by 9.7% to $833.5 million is a strong indicator of future revenue, reflecting customer commitments that have not yet been recognized as revenue. This is a key metric for investors as it provides visibility into the company's sales pipeline and future growth trajectory.

Furthermore, the guidance for the full year 2024 with expected increases in revenue and adjusted EBITDA suggests management's confidence in the company's continued growth. However, the lack of GAAP guidance due to the difficulty in forecasting certain non-operational items like stock-based compensation and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles should be noted by investors. This highlights the complexity and potential volatility in reconciling non-GAAP measures to GAAP, which could affect the transparency and comparability of financial performance.

From a legal perspective, the emphasis on non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Unlevered Free Cash Flow requires careful consideration. While these metrics can provide a clearer picture of operational performance by excluding certain non-cash and irregular expenses, they are not standardized under GAAP. Investors and analysts should be aware of the limitations of these measures and consider them alongside GAAP metrics to get a complete understanding of the company's financial health.

The inability to provide a reconciliation for forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP guidance due to uncertainty in forecasting certain amounts is not uncommon. However, it does add an element of risk, as these estimates can significantly influence investor expectations. It is crucial for stakeholders to be aware of these uncertainties and factor them into their assessment of the company's future performance.

Instructure is unable to provide guidance or a reconciliation for forward-looking non-GAAP measures because Instructure cannot provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of certain items without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including stock-based compensation and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. Thus, Instructure is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance to GAAP guidance because such information is not available.

*See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for information regarding the Company's use of non-GAAP financial measures as well as reconciliations to the most closely comparable GAAP measures in this press release.

Steve Daly, Instructure CEO, said, "During the fourth quarter, we exceeded the high end of our guidance range for Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Unlevered Free Cash Flow, reflecting our unrelenting focus and the strength of our model. These exceptional results were driven by our increasing competitive advantage, strong execution, and the formidable cash flow we generate and reinvest behind high-growth initiatives. We head into 2024 with meaningfully enhanced scale, a broader portfolio, and access to new buyers due to the Parchment acquisition. We have never been more excited about our ability to elevate teaching and learning and drive results for our shareholders."

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of December 31, 2023, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $344.2 million and total debt was $491.3 million compared to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $190.3 million and total debt of $496.3 million as of December 31, 2022. The increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash since December 31, 2022 was driven by strong business performance and the fact that 2022 included the purchase of LearnPlatform. Instructure ended 2023 with a net leverage ratio of 0.7x Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA. As of December 31, 2023, available borrowings under Instructure's revolving credit facility, net of letters of credit outstanding, were $121.8 million. The Company generated cash flow from operations of $164.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $140.3 million in the prior year period, an increase of 16.9% year-over-year. Adjusted Unlevered Free Cash Flow was $225.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $173.5 million in the prior year period, an increase of 29.9% year-over-year.

*Instructure is unable to provide guidance or a reconciliation for forward-looking non-GAAP measures because Instructure cannot provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of certain reconciling items without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including stock-based compensation and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. Thus, Instructure is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance to GAAP guidance because such information is not available.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Instructure has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). In addition to Instructure's results determined in accordance with GAAP, Instructure believes the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating its operating performance and liquidity. Instructure believes that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and assists in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

A reconciliation of Instructure's historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.

ACR. We define ACR as the combined receipts of our Company and companies that we have acquired allocated to the period of service delivery. We calculate ACR as the sum of (i) revenue and (ii) the impact of fair value adjustments to acquired unearned revenue related to Thoma Bravo's acquisition of Instructure (the "Take-Private Transaction") and the Certica Holdings, LLC ("Certica"), Eesysoft Software International B.V. (which was rebranded to "Impact by Instructure" or "Impact" subsequent to acquisition), and Kimono LLC (which was rebranded to "Elevate Data Sync" subsequent to acquisition) acquisitions where we do not believe such adjustments are reflective of our ongoing operations. Management uses this measure to evaluate the organic growth of the business period over period, as if the Company had operated as a single entity and excluding the impact of acquisitions or adjustments due to purchase accounting. Effective January 1, 2022, Instructure adopted Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), which requires that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). As a result, GAAP revenue and ACR have converged.

Non-GAAP Operating Income. We define non-GAAP operating income as income/(loss) from operations excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, transaction costs, sponsor costs, other non-recurring costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, and the impact of fair value adjustments to acquired unearned revenue relating to the Take-Private Transaction and the Certica, Impact, and Elevate Data Sync acquisitions that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operations. We believe non-GAAP operating income is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. Although we exclude the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles from the non-GAAP measure, management believes it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation.

Non-GAAP Net Income. We define non-GAAP net income as net loss excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, the impact of fair value adjustments to acquired unearned revenue relating to the Take-Private Transaction and the Certica, Impact, and Elevate Data Sync acquisitions, transaction costs, sponsor costs, other non-recurring costs, and effects of foreign currency transaction (gains) and losses that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operations. The tax effects of the adjustments are calculated using the statutory tax rate, taking into consideration the nature of the item and the relevant taxing jurisdiction. We believe Non-GAAP net income is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as this metric generally eliminates the effects of certain items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. Although we exclude the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles from the non-GAAP measure, management believes it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation. Basic non-GAAP net income per common share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing non-GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted non-GAAP net income per common share attributable to common stockholders is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding for the period.

Adjusted EBITDA; Adjusted EBITDA Margin. EBITDA is defined as earnings before debt-related costs, including interest and loss on debt extinguishment, benefit for taxes, depreciation, and amortization. We further adjust EBITDA to exclude certain items of a significant or unusual nature, including stock-based compensation, transaction costs, sponsor costs, other non-recurring costs, effects of foreign currency transaction (gains) and losses, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, and the impact of fair value adjustments to acquired unearned revenue relating to the Take-Private Transaction and the Certica, Impact, and Elevate Data Sync acquisitions. Although we exclude the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles from this non-GAAP measure, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by ACR.

Free Cash Flow, Unlevered Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Unlevered Free Cash Flow. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and intangible assets, net of proceeds from disposals of property and equipment. We define unlevered free cash flow as free cash flow adjusted for cash paid for interest on outstanding debt and cash settled stock-based compensation. We define adjusted unlevered free cash flow as unlevered free cash flow adjusted for transaction costs, sponsor costs, impaired leases, and other non-recurring costs paid in cash. We believe free cash flow, unlevered free cash flow and adjusted unlevered free cash flow facilitate period-to-period comparisons of liquidity. We consider free cash flow, unlevered free cash flow and adjusted unlevered free cash flow to be important measures because they measure the amount of cash we generate and reflect changes in working capital.

Non-GAAP Cost of Revenue and Non-GAAP Operating Expenses. We define non-GAAP cost of revenue and non-GAAP operating expenses as GAAP cost of revenue and GAAP operating expenses, respectively, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, transaction costs, sponsor costs, other non-recurring costs, and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operations. Although we exclude the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles from the non-GAAP measures, management believes it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit; Non-GAAP Gross Profit Margin. We define non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit excluding the impact of stock-based compensation, transaction costs, other non-recurring costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, and fair value adjustments to deferred revenue in connection with purchase accounting that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operations. Although we exclude the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles from the non-GAAP measure, management believes it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation. Non-GAAP Gross Profit Margin is defined as Non-GAAP gross profit divided by ACR.

Net Debt. We define net debt as total outstanding term debt, less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Management uses this supplemental non-GAAP measure to evaluate the Company's leverage.
