IRVING, Texas, Aug. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exela Technologies, Inc. (“Exela” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: XELA, XELAP), a global business process automation (“BPA”) leader, announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

 

“We started the implementation of the next step of our Capital Deployment Strategy in Q2. Our capital structure dislocation represents an opportunity to deploy capital from the sale of assets and equity capital markets to purchase debt and invest for growth. Our business is prepared for tomorrow with tenured management and many additional new leaders with fresh ideas, who together are working on improving operating results while combating headwinds from the strong dollar, tight job markets, inflation and a network outage,” said Par Chadha, Executive Chairman of Exela.

 

“We are executing well against our growth initiatives and capital redeployment strategy that enable us to better serve our customers and enhance shareholder value.”

 

Second Quarter Highlights

 

Revenue: Revenue for Q2 2022 was $266.8 million, a decline of 9.0% compared to $293.0 million in Q2 2021.

 

Revenue for the ITPS segment was $190.0 million, a decline of 12.6% year-over-year, primarily due to a network outage(4), staffing shortages and the strong dollar.

 

Healthcare Solutions revenue was $56.4 million, roughly flat year-over-year.

 

Legal and Loss Prevention Services revenue was $20.4 million, an increase of 4.3% year-over-year.

 

Operating income/(loss): Operating loss for Q2 2022 was $20.9 million, compared with operating income of $25.4 million in Q2 2021. The year-over-year increase in operating loss was primarily attributable to lower revenue and higher SG&A spend.

 

Net Loss: Net loss for Q2 2022 was $79.2 million, compared with a net loss of $19.4 million in Q2 2021.

 

EBITDA(5)EBITDA for Q2 2022 was $(17.6) million compared to $44.9 million in Q2 2021. EBITDA margin for Q2 2022 was (6.6%) compared to 15.3% in Q2 2021.

 

 

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA(6)Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2022 was $36.5 million, a decrease of 28% compared to $50.9 million in Q2 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin for Q2 2022 was 13.7%, a decrease of 371 basis points from 17.4% in Q2 2021 and up from 12.9% in Q1 2022.

 

Capital Expenditures: Capital expenditures for Q2 2022 were 1.4% of revenue compared to 0.7% of revenue in Q2 2021.

 

Common Stock: As of June 30, 2022, there were 40.4 million total shares(7).

 

Balance Sheet and Liquidity: As of June 30, 2022, total liquidity was $72 million. Total net debt(8) at June 30, 2022 was $1.04 billion.

 

Expanding financial flexibility: Raised a total of $58.2 million in gross proceeds from equity offerings in Q2 2022. In accordance with Exela's plan to strategically reduce debt and associated interest expense as well as to invest in growth, total debt(3) was reduced by $118 million compared to Q1 2022.

 

Below are the notes referenced above:

 

(1) Total Contract Value

 

(2) Digital Mailroom

 

(3) Total debt includes all long-term debt and interest-bearing current liabilities.

 

(4) In late June 2022, the Company experienced a network security incident impacting certain of the Company’s operational and information technology systems. The Company immediately took steps to isolate the impact and prevent additional systems from being affected, including taking large parts of its network offline as a precaution and thereby disrupting some access to our applications and services by our employees and customers. The Company’s systems recovery efforts are substantially complete, and the Company’s operations are fully functional, however, the incident did result in some loss of revenue in the end of the second quarter as well as certain incremental costs, some of which is expected to continue.

 

(5) EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation of EBITDA is attached to this release.

 

(6) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA is attached to this release.

 

(7) On July 25, 2022, we effected a one-for-twenty reverse split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”). All information related to Common Stock, have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

 

(8) Net debt is calculated as Total debt (excluding the secured debt repurchase facility) less unrestricted cash

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures: This press release includes constant currency, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, each of which is a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Exela believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial performance, results of operations and liquidity and allows investors to better understand the trends in our business and to better understand and compare our results. Exela’s board of directors and management use constant currency, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess Exela’s financial performance, because it allows them to compare Exela’s operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of Exela’s capital structure (such as varying levels of debt and interest expense, as well as transaction costs resulting from the combination of Quinpario Acquisition Corp. 2, SourceHOV Holdings, Inc. and Novitex Holdings, Inc. on July 12, 2017 (the “Novitex Business Combination”) and capital markets-based activities). Adjusted EBITDA also seeks to remove the effects of integration and related costs to achieve the savings, any expected reduction in operating expenses due to the Novitex Business Combination, asset base (such as depreciation and amortization) and other similar non-routine items outside the control of our management team.  Optimization and restructuring expenses and merger adjustments are primarily related to the implementation of strategic actions and initiatives related to the Novitex Business Combination. All of these costs are variable and dependent upon the nature of the actions being implemented and can vary significantly driven by business needs. Accordingly, due to that significant variability, we exclude these charges since we do not believe they truly reflect our past, current or future operating performance. The constant currency presentation excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We calculate constant currency revenue and Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the exchange rates from the corresponding prior-period and compare these adjusted amounts to our corresponding prior period reported results. Exela does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to liquidity or financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. A limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Exela’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures and therefore the basis of presentation for these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are not required to be uniformly applied, are not audited and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Net loss is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to the non-GAAP measures presented here. For reconciliation of the comparable GAAP measures to these non-GAAP financial measures, see the schedules attached to this release.
