Conference Call Wednesday, May 4 at 10:00 a.m. ET

Minneapolis, MN – May 3, 2016 – Qumu Corporation (NASDAQ: QUMU) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.

First quarter revenue was $8.7 million, a 46% increase compared to the first quarter 2015. First quarter net loss per share was $(0.45) compared to $(1.07) in the first quarter 2015.

First quarter adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was a loss of $3.0 million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $8.7 million for the first quarter 2015.

“Strong execution in customer deployment and solid expense management enabled us to greatly improve revenue and adjusted EBITDA on a year-over-year basis. We continue to focus on strengthening our financial performance and technology lead in our market. Qumu has the largest video deployments in the enterprise video space. Our software platform’s ability to address the video market at the departmental and enterprise level is unique in the industry. We continue to concentrate on Global 5000 companies with a particular focus on the financial services, pharmaceutical and manufacturing verticals,” said Vern Hanzlik, Qumu’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite timing delays in the first quarter and second quarter with respect to a few large enterprise transactions, we remain confident in our ability to execute on our 2016 expectations.”

Other Information

• First quarter subscription, maintenance and support revenue was $5.5 million compared to $4.1 million in the first quarter 2015.

Non-GAAP Information

To supplement the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company uses adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure), which excludes certain items presented under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes items related to stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, interest income and expense, and the impact of income-based taxes.

The Company uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when planning, monitoring, and evaluating the Company’s performance. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides supplemental information that allows investors to review the Company's results of operations from the same perspective as management and the Company's board of directors. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding our operating results. The non-GAAP results should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

See the attached Supplemental Financial Information for a reconciliation of operating loss, a GAAP measure, to adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.
