Jennifer Fulk, CFO of Talkspace said, “Our revenue growth accelerated significantly in the first quarter, with the business-to-business (“B2B”) categories contributing 70% of revenue in the period. We continued our work to optimize our cost structure to drive operating leverage, narrowing our losses while growing revenue as we advance toward our goal of reaching break-even profitability.”
First Quarter 2023 Key Performance Metrics
- Revenue increased 11% over the prior-year period to $33.3 million, driven by a 71% increase in the B2B revenue categories year-over-year, partially offset by a 40% year-over-year consumer revenue decline.
- Gross profit increased 11% over the prior-year period to $16.7 million, and gross margin expanded to 50.2% year-over-year, driven by higher network productivity.
- Operating expenses were $25.8 million, down 29% year-over-year, driven by a reduction across all our operating cost categories.
- Net Loss was $(8.8) million, an improvement from $(20.4) million in the first quarter of 2022, primarily driven by lower operating expenses and an increase in revenues.
Financial Outlook
The following guidance is based on current market conditions and expectations and what the Company knows today.
For the Fiscal Year 2023, Talkspace expects:
- Revenue to be in the range of $130 million to $135 million, improved from $125 million to $135 million
- Adjusted EBITDA loss to be in the range of $(21) million to $(24) million, improved from $(28) million to $(32) million
The Company now expects to reach break-even Adjusted EBITDA by the end of the first quarter of 2024, one quarter earlier than initially guided, with a cash balance of over $95 million.

In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is useful in evaluating our operating performance, and our management uses it as a key performance measure to assess our operating performance. Because adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use this measure for business planning purposes and in evaluating acquisition opportunities. We also use adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. We believe that the use of adjusted EBITDA is helpful to our investors as it is a metric used by management in assessing the health of our business and our operating performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.
Some of the limitations of adjusted EBITDA include (i) adjusted EBITDA does not necessarily reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future and (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect these requirements. In evaluating adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses similar to the adjustments described herein. Our presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items. Our adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate adjusted EBITDA in the same manner as we calculate the measure, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to loss before income taxes, net loss, loss per share, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. When evaluating our performance, you should consider adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including our net loss and other GAAP results.
A reconciliation is provided below for adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. We do not provide a forward-looking reconciliation Adjusted EBITDA guidance as the amount and significance of the reconciling items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures cannot be estimated at this time without unreasonable efforts. These reconciling items could be meaningful.
Adjusted EBITDA
We calculate adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted to exclude (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest and other expenses (income), net, (iii) tax benefit and expense, and (iv) stock-based compensation expense.
