“We are pleased with our fourth quarter results and performance. We closed the year with strong momentum and continue to deliver exceptional value to our customers across our broadening platform” said Jeffrey Harris, CEO and Chairman of springbig. “I’m excited by the opportunities ahead of us in 2023. We have a rich pipeline of new revenue generating initiatives and a strong, high-growth subscription revenue base. We ended the year with more than 3,000 retail locations utilizing the springbig platform and in the last year these clients generated more than $7.5 billion of GMV and distributed in excess of 2 billion messages using springbig.”

Paul Sykes, springbig’s CFO, added “While we seek to accelerate the top line, we are actively managing our business to deliver profitable growth and reaffirm our goal of reaching the milestone of EBITDA breakeven during this year. We are also committed to ensuring our balance sheet supports these growth objectives and are considering a potential supplemental capital raise.”

Financial Outlook

For the first quarter of 2023, springbig currently expects:

  • Revenue in the range of $7.1 - $7.4 million, representing 17% growth at the midpoint.
  • Adjusted EBITDA** loss in the range of $(1.4) - $(1.2) million.

For the year ending December 31, 2023, springbig currently expects:

  • Revenue in the range of $31 - $34 million, representing 22% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.
  • Adjusted EBITDA** loss in the range of $(3.0) - $(1.5) million, with positive EBITDA being reached during fiscal year 2023.

* Revenues in 2022 and prior year are revised to reflect a change in the treatment of credits issued to customers, which are included in revenues whereas previously these were in cost of revenue. This revision reduces revenues while leaving gross profit and net loss unchanged. Prior to this revision our 2022 revenue would have been $27.6 million, ahead of the mid-point of our 2022 guidance.

** Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP (as defined below) financial measure. For more information, see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”. Additionally, reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures have been provided in the tables included in this release.

Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures provided in this “Financial Outlook” section on a forward-looking basis. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of such forward-looking measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP because to do so would be potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event-driven transactional and other non-core operating items in any future period. The magnitude of these items, however, may be significant.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this press release constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “outlook,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would,” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release, including but not limited to the risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 filed with the SEC on August 18, 2022, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 that will be filed following this earnings release and other periodic reports filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of springbig), and other assumptions, which may cause the actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and the Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements other than as required by applicable law. The Company does not give any assurance that it will achieve its expectations.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) included throughout this press release, we have disclosed EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures that we calculate as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, in the case of EBITDA, and further adjustments to exclude unusual and/or infrequent costs, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, which are detailed in the reconciliation table that follows, in order to provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results. Below we have provided a reconciliation of net loss (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because these metrics are a key measure used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of investment capacity. Accordingly, we believe that EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management. Management also believes that these measures provide improved comparability between fiscal periods

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:

  • Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and
  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us.

Because of these limitations, you should consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and our other GAAP results. Also, these non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and presented by the Company, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Definition of Key Operating and Financial Metrics

Net dollar retention rate: The Company calculates its “net dollar retention rate” - also referred to as its “net revenue retention rate” - as the average recurring monthly subscription revenue adjusted for losses, increases and decreases in monthly subscriptions during the prior twelve months divided by the average recurring monthly subscription revenue over the prior, trailing twelve-month period. Net dollar retention rate (or “net revenue retention rate”) does not have a standardized meaning and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies, and further, investors should not consider it in isolation.
