Qumu Announces Second Quarter 2016 Results

Conference Call Wednesday, August 3 at 10:00 a.m. ET

MINNEAPOLIS--()--Qumu Corporation (NASDAQ: QUMU) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016, which were slightly improved from the estimates included in its July 21, 2016 press release.

Second quarter revenue was $6.5 million, compared to $8.8 million in the second quarter 2015. Second quarter net loss was $(4.3) million, or a loss of $(0.46) per share, compared to $(6.9) million, or a loss of $(0.75) per share, in the second quarter 2015. Second quarter adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was a loss of $(3.1) million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(5.8) million for the second quarter 2015.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, revenue was $15.3 million, compared to $14.7 million last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, net loss was $(8.4) million, or a loss of $(0.91) per share, compared to $(16.9) million, or a loss of $(1.83) per share, last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $(6.0) million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(14.5) million last year.

“As previously indicated, we are disappointed with our second quarter revenue; however, we have right-sized our expense structure over the past twelve months and we remain confident in our ability to transition to more recurring revenue and a lower reliance on perpetual license sales over time. For example, in the second quarter we closed our largest number of new cloud customers in a quarter,” said Vern Hanzlik, Qumu’s president and CEO. “In the near term, due to the variability of the timing of larger perpetual license opportunities, we have revised our annual guidance. During this transition, we are continuing to focus on providing the best enterprise video content management solutions and services, as rated by industry analysts, to our customers and to the Global 5000 market.”

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, foreign currency gains and losses, net income (loss) from discontinued operations, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
