BRIDGEWATER, NJ - August 9, 2022 - Synchronoss Technologies Inc. (“Synchronoss” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SNCR), a global leader and innovator in cloud, messaging, and digital products and platforms, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Second Quarter and Recent Operational Highlights:
•Announced 18% year-over-year Cloud subscriber growth for the second quarter of 2022, an improvement from a 16% increase for the second quarter of 2021. The strong growth has been driven by continued adoption of the Company’s Cloud product with existing customers and newly launched customers, including Verizon and AT&T.
•Launched two new premium Personal Cloud solutions with Telkomsigma, the IT and digital services arm of Telkomsel, Indonesia’s largest mobile operator. Following an announced agreement in November, Telkomsigma is now making its Floudrive service, powered by Synchronoss Personal Cloud, available to university students and 170 million Telkomsel mobile customers in Indonesia, another key APAC market in the Company’s geographic expansion of its core offering.
•Signed a new Personal Cloud Letter of Intent with Street Cred Capital, a leading fintech solutions provider in the mobile industry that has customers at major North American carriers, MVNOs, and retailers. The new relationship allows subscribers to finance Synchronoss Cloud, along with other products and accessories.
•Recognized as a 2022 ‘Product of the Year’ winner for Synchronoss Personal Cloud from Cloud Computing Magazine, underscoring the quality of innovation and service in the Company’s core business. The 2022 Cloud Computing Product of the Year Award recognizes vendors with the most innovative and beneficial cloud products and services that have been available to deploy within the past year.
•Certified and deployed the Synchronoss Personal Cloud and Email Suite on the Alibaba and Google Cloud Hosting Platforms, respectively. These platform extensions provide customers with the flexibility to select the hosting platform of their choice to deploy and scale Synchronoss solutions.
•Completed sale to iQmetrix of the Company’s Digital Experience Platform (“DXP”) and Activation Solutions (“Activation”) businesses. This transaction supports the Company’s goals of enhanced operating flexibility through a leaner business model focusing on its Cloud and Messaging portfolios and provides additional liquidity to support an improved capital structure.
Management Commentary
“Our double-digit Cloud revenue increase in the second quarter marked the fourth consecutive period of year-over-year growth in Cloud, denoting twelve months of consistent topline improvement and accelerated growth in our core business,” stated Jeff Miller, President and CEO of Synchronoss. “Our resilient performance continues to be driven by healthy subscriber growth, which hit 18% for the second straight quarter, leading to record gross margins and an improved cash flow profile. Operationally, we are continuing to drive growth with existing customers while also expanding into new markets and verticals. In just the last few weeks, we successfully launched two new premium Personal Cloud solutions with Telkomsel, marking the first phase of our deployment and opening the door to an additional 170 million potential customers. Early today, we also announced a Letter of Intent signing with Street Cred Capital, which further highlights the market expansion opportunities we are realizing for Synchronoss Cloud.
“While the global economic environment has caused delays in some customer decision making, our overall pipeline remains strong. The ongoing proliferation of 5G deployments should drive greater access to fixed wireless solutions enabling wider adoption of our Cloud for Home offering. We also continue to have significant expansion opportunities within our existing and newly launched customers. Collectively, we believe Synchronoss stands at the nexus of several major tailwinds that support our vision of sustainable, high-margin revenue growth now and in the years to come.”
Key Performance Indicators ("KPIs"):
•Strong Cloud subscriber growth of 18% was the key catalyst to a 12% year-over-year increase in second quarter Cloud revenue, continuing the Company’s trend of double-digit subscriber growth.
•Invoiced Cloud revenue increased 10.3% year-over-year to $37.4 million in the second quarter. This non-GAAP measure is reconciled within the financial statements below. This KPI is intended to provide greater transparency in the underlying Cloud revenue trends as it is not impacted by changes in deferred and unbilled revenue.
•Quarterly recurring revenue was 86.6% of total revenue, an increase from 84.9% of total revenue in the first quarter.
•GAAP revenue breakdown by product is included below:

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results:
•Total revenue decreased 9% to $65.2 million from $71.5 million in the prior year period. Revenue growth in the Cloud business was offset by one-time, accelerated revenue received from the Company’s CCMI contract in the previous year as well as the Company’s divestiture of the DXP and Activation assets in the quarter.
•Gross profit decreased 3% to $42.9 million (65.8% of total revenue) from $44.4 million (62.1% of total revenue) in the prior year period, primarily attributable to decreased revenue in the Company’s Messaging business from the CCMI dissolution and the previously noted sale of the DXP and Activation assets. The increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to increased revenue from high-margin Cloud subscriber growth, a license sale during the quarter and ongoing benefits from cost saving initiatives.
•Income (loss) from operations was $4.9 million compared to a loss of $(4.1) million in 2021. The improvement in operating income was a result of increased high margin Cloud revenue, reduced SG&A expenses and greater efficiency of R&D resources and other cost saving initiatives.
•Net income (loss) improved to $5.3 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to net loss of $(23.9) million, or $(0.54) per share, in the prior year period. The significant improvement in net income was primarily attributable to operational improvements and lower preferred stock dividends resulting from the Company’s June 2021 recapitalization.
•Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP metric reconciled below) increased 7% to $14.2 million from $13.3 million in the prior year period. The increase in adjusted EBITDA resulted from increased revenue from high-margin Cloud subscriber growth and cost saving initiatives implemented throughout the prior year.
•Cash and cash equivalents were $25.5 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $21.7 million at March 31, 2022 and $31.5 million at December 31, 2021. Free cash flow was $3.6 million and adjusted free cash flow was $6.7 million. Contributing to positive cash flow during the second quarter was $4.3 million received in tax refunds.
Financial Commentary
Company CFO Taylor Greenwald added, “The second quarter was highlighted by meaningful profitability improvements in several key metrics as we increased gross margin to an all-time-high 65.8%, delivered net income of $5.3 million and recorded adjusted EBITDA of $14.2 million or 21.8% of revenue. The Company also produced $3.6 million in positive, unadjusted cash flow and $6.7 million of adjusted free cash flow, thanks in part to a $4.3 million tax refund received during the period. The strong quarterly performance resulted from the underlying strength of the Cloud business, which will continue to be a catalyst for growth."
2022 Financial Outlook
Compared to the second quarter of 2022, management expects third quarter revenue and adjusted EBITDA to be down slightly after factoring in an approximate $2 million impact from the sale of the DXP and Activation assets in the second quarter and recognition of approximately $4 million in deferred, non-cash revenue from the Cloud business, which benefited the second quarter and will not repeat in the third quarter. While the Company still expects to be free cash flow positive, on an adjusted basis, for the year, management expects third and fourth quarter cash flow results to decline moderately compared to the second quarter due to the non-recurring tax refund and timing of cash receipts and expenses. Looking to 2023, the Company expects to be free cash flow positive, on an unadjusted basis, given the trajectory of its Cloud business and the actions taken to drive down its cost structures.
Based on the financial performance in the first half of 2022 and better visibility into the remainder of the year, the Company is narrowing the range of its full year 2022 adjusted EBITDA expectations to between $48.0 million and $55.0 million from a previous range of $45.0 million to $55.0 million.
Additionally, the Company now expects GAAP revenue for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 to range between $260.0 million and $270.0 million. The comparable 2021 revenue is $265.0 million after adjusting for the divestiture of the Company’s DXP and Activation assets. Despite delay in some customer decision making and expectations due to the macroeconomic environment, the sales pipeline remains healthy and subscriber growth continues to be strong. Synchronoss is reiterating its projection for Cloud subscriber growth to continue at a double-digit rate on a year-over-year basis in 2022.
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Synchronoss has provided in this release selected financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP although this non-GAAP financial information is derived from numbers that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes historical non-GAAP revenues, gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, operating income (loss), net income (loss), effective tax rate, and earnings (loss) per share. Synchronoss uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating Synchronoss’ ongoing operational performance.

Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as detailed above. Investors are encouraged to also review the Balance Sheet, Statement of Operations, and Statement of Cash Flow.

| 2022 vs 2021 | | |
(in thousands) | FY 2022 Revenue | | FY 2021 Revenue | | Increase/ (Decrease) | | % of Total Revenue | | | | | | | | |
Cloud | $84,978 | | $77,787 | | 9.2% | | 64.8% | | | | | | | | |
Digital | 22,601 | | 25,108 | | (10.0)% | | 17.2% | | | | | | | | |
Messaging | 23,523 | | 34,136 | | (31.1)% | | 17.9% | | | | | | | | |
| $131,102 | | $137,031 | | | | 100.0% | | | | | | | | |
•Total revenue decreased 4.3% to $131.1 million from $137.0 million in 2020. Increased Cloud subscriber growth was more than offset by a decline in the Advanced Messaging business largely as a result of a non-recurring license sale and professional services revenue recorded during the prior year.
•Gross profit remained consistent at $83.9 million (64.0% of total revenue) compared to $81.3 million (59.3% of total revenue) in 2020. The increases in gross profit and gross margin on lower revenue were primarily attributable to a shift toward a more profitable revenue mix and cost savings initiatives implemented throughout the year.
•Income (loss) from operations was $3.5 million compared to $(13.1) million in 2020. The improvement was driven by operating expense savings in addition to a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense as a result of utilizing cost-effective third-party data center providers.
•Net loss was $(0.3) million, or $— per share, compared to net loss of $(46.5) million, or $(1.07) per share, in 2020. The change in net loss was primarily attributable to a larger tax benefit related to the CARES Act received in 2020 as well as favorable non-cash foreign currency translations recorded in the prior year.
•Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP metric reconciled below) increased 37% to $25.8 million from $18.8 million in 2020. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to cost saving initiatives implemented throughout the year.
