    --Q3’23 adjusted EBITDA swings positively and sharply to $11.4 million from a loss of $(3.7) million

    --Raising full year 2023 business outlook

    CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AvidXchange Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: AVDX), a leading provider of accounts payable (AP) automation software and payment solutions for middle market businesses and their suppliers, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

    “Our solid third quarter financial results highlight continued strong operational execution across all key levers of the business. On key financial measures, from revenue growth to gross margin to EBITDA, we exceeded – significantly in some instances – our implied third quarter business outlook. Furthermore, we maintained our strong balance sheet, which we believe provides us additional optionality to accelerate our long-term path of progress. Our value proposition for cost containment and reduction continues to have tremendous resonance with our B2B middle market customers. And the recent integration partnership with AppFolio, a real estate focused provider of solutions with a base of 19,000 customers, is a great testament to that recognition and the large addressable market opportunity ahead of us. And while it is unclear how the macro cross currents play out, we remained focused on executing strategies that we believe will position us to achieve our medium and long-term Rule of 40 and 40-plus targets,” said Michael Praeger, CEO & Co-Founder of AvidXchange.  

    Third Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights:

    • Total revenue was $98.7 million, an increase of 19.7% year-over-year, compared with $82.4 million in the third quarter of 2022.
    • GAAP net loss was $(8.1) million, compared with a GAAP net loss of $(25.4) million in the third quarter of 2022.
    • Non-GAAP net income was $5.8 million, compared with a Non-GAAP net loss of $(11.7) million in the third quarter of 2022.
    • GAAP gross profit was $62.3 million, or 63.2% of total revenue, compared with $47.6 million, or 57.8% of revenue in the third quarter of 2022.
    • Non-GAAP gross profit was $69.1 million, or 70.0% of total revenue, compared with $53.5 million, or 65.0% of revenue in the third quarter of 2022.
    • Adjusted EBITDA was $11.4 million compared with $(3.7) million in the third quarter of 2022.

    A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables following the financial statements in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Measures and Other Performance Metrics."

    Third Quarter 2023 Key Business Metrics and Highlights:

    • Total transactions processed in the third quarter of 2023 were 19.2 million, an increase of 6.4% from 18.0 million in the third quarter of 2022.
    • Total payment volume in the third quarter of 2023 was $19.6 billion, an increase of 8.4% from $18.1 billion in the third quarter of 2022.

    Forward-Looking Statements
    This press release may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In this context, forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance and often contain words such as: “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “believe,” “outlook,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “will” and similar words and phrases indicating future results. The information presented in this press release related to our expectations of future performance, including guidance for our revenue and EBITDA for the full year 2023, statements related to our ability to achieve our medium and long-term Rule of 40 and Rule of 40-plus targets, our continued strong operational execution, our customers’ perception of the value proposition associated with our products and services, our addressable market opportunity, the role our balance sheet plays in accelerating long-term growth, the impact of the macroeconomic environment on our business, and other statements that are not purely statements of historical fact, are forward-looking in nature. These forward-looking statements are made on the basis of management’s current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. We therefore cannot guarantee future results, performance or achievements.

    Factors which could cause actual results or effects to differ materially from those reflected in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the risk factors and other cautionary statements described, from time to time, in AvidXchange’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including, without limitation, AvidXchange’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed for the periods ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed for the period ended September 30, 2023, and other documents filed with the SEC, which may be obtained on the investor relations section of our website (https://ir.avidxchange.com/) and on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Any forward-looking statements made by us in this press release are based only on information currently available to us and speak only as of the date they are made, and we assume no obligation to update any of these statements in light of new information, future events or otherwise unless required under the federal securities laws.

    Non-GAAP Measures and Other Performance Metrics
    To supplement the financial measures presented in our press release and related conference call in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we also present the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance: Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss).

    A “non-GAAP financial measure” refers to a numerical measure of our historical or future financial performance or financial position that is included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in our financial statements. We provide certain non-GAAP measures as additional information relating to our operating results as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a measure of liquidity. There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, these measures may differ from the non-GAAP information, even where similarly titled, used by other companies and therefore should not be used to compare our performance to that of other companies.

    We have presented Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) in this press release. We define Non-GAAP Gross Profit as revenue less cost of revenue excluding the portion of depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense allocated to cost of revenues. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net loss before depreciation and amortization, impairment and write-off of intangible assets, interest income and expense, income tax expense (benefit), stock-based compensation expense, transaction and acquisition-related costs expensed, change in fair value of derivative instrument, non-recurring items not indicative of ongoing operations, and charitable contributions of common stock. We define Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) as net loss before amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment and write-off of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, transaction and acquisition-related costs expensed, change in fair value of derivative instrument, non-recurring items not indicative of ongoing operations, acquisition-related effects on income tax, and charitable contributions of common stock. Non-GAAP income tax expense is calculated using our blended statutory rate except in periods of non-GAAP net loss when it is based on our GAAP income tax expense. In each case, non-GAAP income tax expense excludes the effects of acquisitions in the period on tax expense.

    We believe the use of non-GAAP financial measures, as a supplement to GAAP measures, is useful to investors in that they eliminate items that are either not part of our core operations or do not require a cash outlay, such as stock-based compensation expense. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating operating performance and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help indicate underlying trends in the business, are important in comparing current results with prior period results and are useful to investors and financial analysts in assessing operating performance.
