CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 28, 2024 (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 fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023.

“We had a strong close to 2023 in light of on-going macro headwinds. Our fourth quarter 2023 results mark 10 consecutive quarters of financial outperformance relative to internal expectations. I am particularly pleased with the adjusted EBITDA profit inflection excluding float and political contributions, significantly ahead of expectations. Our success across economic cycles, in our view, stems from the rapid and quantifiable ROI realized by our buyers and suppliers through our accounts payable and payments automation value proposition over our proprietary two-sided network. As such, we believe our offering is viewed as a critical lever and we, in turn, are viewed as our customers’ trusted partner in executing their digital transformation strategy centered on the back office. And, we are in the early innings of capitalizing on this opportunity. With the convergence of marque new ERP integration partnerships, new pay product launches and enhancements, continued unit cost reductions and management additions we advanced in 2023, coupled with product and platform innovations planned to be introduced in 2024, we believe we are well positioned to accelerate our success in the new year,” said Michael Praeger, CEO & Co-Founder of AvidXchange.  

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights:

  • Total revenue was $104.1 million, an increase of 20.8% year-over-year, compared with $86.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
  • GAAP net loss was $(4.5) million, compared with a GAAP net loss of $(25.0) million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
  • Non-GAAP net income was $9.4 million, compared with a Non-GAAP net loss of $(7.5) million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
  • GAAP gross profit was $67.3 million, or 64.6% of total revenue, compared with $49.9 million, or 57.9% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022.
  • Non-GAAP gross profit was $74.4 million, or 71.4% of total revenue, compared with $56.0 million, or 64.9% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $15.6 million compared with $(1.3) million in the fourth 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."

Fourth Quarter 2023 Key Business Metrics and Highlights:

  • Total transactions processed in the fourth quarter of 2023 were 19.1 million, an increase of 6.1% from 18.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
  • Total payment volume in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $19.9 billion, an increase of 8.5% from $18.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Full Year 2024 Financial Outlook

As of February 28, 2024, AvidXchange anticipates its Full Year 2024 revenue and adjusted EBITDA to be in the following ranges (in millions):                                                

   FY 2024 Guidance 
     
  Revenue (1)$441.0 - $447.0 
  Adjusted EBITDA(2)$67.0 - $71.0 
     
(1)The revenue associated with CAC was approximately $1.0 million in 2023 with no contribution anticipated in 2024.
(2)A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net loss on a forward-looking basis is not available without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the items excluded from this non-GAAP measure.

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,” “continue,” “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 2024, our accelerating revenue growth and continued gross margin expansion, the strength of our operating leverage, statements related to our positioning to accelerate our success in the new year, 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 and cash position play 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 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.
