Thoughtworks Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results and Announces Restructuring Actions

  • Second quarter revenues of $287.2 million
  • Announces restructuring actions targeting $75-85 million in annualized cost savings upon completion
  • Provides updated guidance for the full year and third quarter of 2023

Thoughtworks Holding, Inc. (NASDAQ: TWKS) ("Thoughtworks" or the "Company"), a leading global technology consultancy, today reported results for the second quarter of 2023 and provided an updated financial outlook for the full year and third quarter of 2023.

Guo Xiao, Thoughtworks' Chief Executive Officer, said, "We delivered revenues of $287.2 million in the second quarter of 2023. This fell short of our guidance as the macro-related factors that we have discussed in recent quarters had an increased influence on client behavior during the quarter, impacting results to a greater extent than anticipated. In particular, we experienced a number of unanticipated project deferrals and cancellations by clients part-way through the quarter. Our investments in outbound demand generation resulted in stable bookings of $1.5 billion on a trailing twelve month basis. We remain committed to investing in demand generation, while also taking restructuring actions that are intended to achieve operational efficiencies, optimize resource allocation, and to be more responsive to our clients’ needs. We remain close with our clients, and our teams are focused on helping solve their most difficult technological problems.”

Thoughtworks announces restructuring actions

Following a detailed review of its business, Thoughtworks is announcing a structural reorganization that will (i) move its operational functions from a geographic to a centralized model, (ii) create a new organizational home for the majority of its client facing workforce, our Digital Engineering Center, and (iii) evolve its regional market structure. Centralizing operations globally will reduce overall costs, better align its resources to strategic priorities, right-size its operations, and increase operational efficiencies. The new Digital Engineering Center will provide supply across the regional markets and allow the Company to optimize resource allocation globally to better align to clients’ needs. Finally, these changes will enable its regional markets to have a more client and industry-based go-to-market focus while continuing to fund our investments in demand generation.

The majority of the actions will be taken in the third quarter of 2023 and are expected to be completed within the next twelve months. Upon completion of the program, the Company expects to realize annualized cost savings of approximately $75 million to $85 million, and impact approximately 5% to 6% of our employee headcount globally. The majority of the annualized cost savings will come from reductions in operating spend, particularly in non-client, back-office functions.

Thoughtworks expects to incur total pre-tax cash charges of approximately $20 million to $25 million (the “Total Charges”), of which approximately $18 million to $20 million are expected to be recognized in 2023. The Total Charges include $18 million to $22 million in wage-related costs, such as employee severance and related benefits, and $2 million to $3 million in non-wage related expenses, including costs related to reducing leased office space, vendor contract cancellations and professional fees.

(1) For QTD, percentage change for net loss, diluted loss per share, cash flow from operations and free cash flow were excluded as they were determined to be not meaningful due to a loss or negative position in one or both periods. For YTD, percentage change for net loss and diluted loss per share were excluded as they were determined to be not meaningful due to a loss or negative position in one or both periods.

(2) Acquisitions completed in the last twelve months contributed approximately 1% to the revenue growth rate for the quarter and 2% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

(3) See “Non-GAAP financial measures” for how we define these measures and the financial tables that accompany this release for reconciliation of these measures to the closest comparable GAAP measures.

(4) Revenue Growth Rate at Constant Currency is calculated by translating the current period revenues into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rates of the prior period of comparison; therefore the weighted average rates used in each respective calculation are not consistent. The change in revenue growth rate at constant currency was excluded, as it was determined to be not meaningful.

Bookings

Our overall bookings for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2023 were flat year-over-year and sequentially at $1.5 billion. For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2023, we had 38 clients with bookings greater than $10 million compared to 35 clients for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2022.

Financial outlook

Thoughtworks provides the following outlook for the third quarter and full year 2023:

  • Revenues in the range of $275 million to $285 million, reflecting year-over-year decline of (17)% to (14)%; or (19)% to (16)% in constant currency. Acquisitions, including those completed during 2023, are expected to contribute approximately 1% to the year-over-year revenue growth rate;
  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin(5) in the range of 9.0% to 11.0%;
  • Adjusted Diluted EPS(5) in the range of $0.02 to $0.03, assuming a weighted average of 332 million diluted outstanding shares; and
  • Stock-based compensation expense of $18 million.

Full year

Thoughtworks now expects the following for the full year:

  • Revenues in the range of $1,137 million to $1,157 million, reflecting year-over-year decline of (12)% to (11)%; or (12)% to (11)% in constant currency. Acquisitions, including those completed during 2023, are expected to contribute approximately 2% to the year-over-year revenue growth rate;
  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin(5) in the range of 11.0% to 12.0%;
  • Adjusted Diluted EPS(5) in the range of $0.11 to $0.13, assuming a weighted average of 332 million diluted outstanding shares; and
  • Stock-based compensation expense of $74 million.

(5) Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Diluted EPS exclude the impacts from restructuring charges.

Forward-looking statements

This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of terms such as "expect," "will," "continue," or similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements represent our management's beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this press release. You should read this press release with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, which include but are not limited to: the statements under "Financial outlook," including expectations relating to revenues and other financial or business metrics; the statements under “Thoughtworks announces restructuring actions,” including expectations relating to the size of the restructuring actions, the amount and timing of related cost savings and charges and the potential long-term benefits of the restructuring actions; statements regarding relationships with existing and potential clients and their engagement decisions; and any other statements of expectation or belief. These statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from results expressed or implied in this press release. Such risk factors include, but are not limited to, those related to: current and future impact of macro-related factors on Thoughtworks' clients’ engagement decisions, Thoughtworks’ business and industry; the effects of competition on the future business of Thoughtworks; uncertainty regarding the demand for and market utilization of our services; the ability to implement our restructuring actions, including the costs of such actions and the uncertainty of the impact of such actions on financial performance; the ability to maintain or acquire new client relationships; other general business and economic conditions (including such conditions related to inflation and foreign currency exchange rates); and our ability to successfully execute our strategy and strategic plans. For additional information concerning these and other risks and uncertainties, please see Thoughtworks' latest Annual Report on Form 10-K, latest Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and other filings and reports that Thoughtworks may file from time to time. Except as required by law, Thoughtworks assumes no obligation, and does not intend, to update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Non-GAAP financial measures

Certain financial metrics contained in this press release are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Definitions of and the related reconciliations for these non-GAAP financial measures can be found below. We use these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with traditional GAAP measures to evaluate our financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide our management and investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of operations. However, non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. For example, many of the non-GAAP financial measures used herein exclude stock-based compensation expense, which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring non-cash expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy.

Certain non-GAAP measures related to our financial outlook included in this press release and the associated webcast were not reconciled to the comparable GAAP financial measures because the GAAP measures are not assessable on a forward-looking basis. The Company is unable to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts because the Company is currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact GAAP measures for these periods but would not impact the non-GAAP measures. Such items may include stock-based compensation, acquisitions, income tax effects of adjustments and other items. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company's GAAP financial results. Based on the foregoing, the Company believes that providing estimates of the amounts that would be required to reconcile the range of the non-GAAP measures to forecasted GAAP measures would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors for the reasons identified above.

Revenue Growth Rate and Revenue Growth Rate at constant currency

Certain of our subsidiaries use functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar and the translation of these foreign currency amounts into U.S. dollars can impact the comparability of our revenues between periods. Accordingly, we use Revenue Growth Rate at constant currency as an important indicator of our underlying performance. Revenue Growth Rate at constant currency is calculated by applying the average exchange rates in effect during the earlier comparative fiscal period to the later fiscal period.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin

We define gross profit as total revenues less cost of revenues. We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit excluding stock-based compensation expense, employer payroll related expense on employee equity incentive plan and depreciation expense. We calculate Adjusted Gross Margin by dividing Adjusted Gross Profit by total revenues. Our management uses Adjusted Gross Profit to assess overall performance and profitability, without regard to the aforementioned adjustments, which are unrelated to our ongoing revenue-generating operations. We also believe this information will be useful for investors to facilitate comparisons of our operating performance and better identify trends in our business.

Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted SG&A Margin

We define Adjusted SG&A as selling, general and administrative expense excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition costs, certain professional fees that are considered unrelated to our ongoing revenue-generating operations and employer payroll related expense on employee equity incentive plan. We calculate Adjusted SG&A Margin by dividing Adjusted SG&A by total revenues.

Our management uses Adjusted SG&A and Adjusted SG&A Margin to assess our overall performance, without regard to items such as stock-based compensation expense and other items that are considered to be unique or non-recurring in nature or otherwise unrelated to our ongoing revenue-generating operations. We also believe this information will be useful for investors to facilitate comparisons of our operating performance and better identify trends in our business.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS

We define Adjusted Net Income as net loss adjusted for unrealized loss (gain) on foreign currency exchange, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, acquisition costs, restructuring charges, certain professional fees that are considered unrelated to our ongoing revenue-generating operations, employer payroll related expense on employee equity incentive plan, final tax assessment for closed operations, change in fair value of contingent consideration and income tax effects of adjustments.

We define Adjusted Diluted EPS as diluted loss per share, with the numerator adjusted for the aforementioned adjustments to Adjusted Net Income. In other words, the numerator for Adjusted Diluted EPS utilizes Adjusted Net Income. We calculate Adjusted Diluted EPS by dividing Adjusted Net Income by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Our management uses Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS to assess our overall performance, without regard to items that are considered to be unique or non-recurring in nature or otherwise unrelated to our ongoing revenue-generating operations, net of the income tax effects of adjustments.

Our management uses Adjusted Net Income for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of our core operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance. We also believe this information will be useful for investors to facilitate comparisons of our operating performance and better identify trends in our business.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted to exclude income tax expense; interest expense; other (income) expense, net, excluding a gain related to the mark to market adjustment on shares received in relation to the sale and settlement of trade receivables in 2022; unrealized loss (gain) on foreign currency exchange; stock-based compensation expense; depreciation and amortization expense; acquisition costs; restructuring charges; certain professional fees that are considered unrelated to our ongoing revenue generating operations; employer payroll related expense on employee equity incentive plan; and final tax assessment for closed operations. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA Margin by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company's operating performance without regard to the aforementioned adjustments that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing, capital structures, and the method by which assets were acquired or costs that are unique or non-recurring in nature or otherwise unrelated to our ongoing revenue-generating operations.

Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of our core operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategy, and in evaluating our financial performance. We also believe this information will be useful for investors to facilitate comparisons of our operating performance and better identify trends in our business.

Free Cash Flow

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for purchases of property and equipment. We believe that Free Cash Flow is a useful indicator of liquidity for investors and is used by our management as it measures our ability to generate cash, or our need to access additional sources of cash, to fund operations and investments. There are a number of limitations related to the use of free cash flow as compared to net cash from operating activities, including that Free Cash Flow includes capital expenditures, the benefits of which are realized in periods subsequent to those when expenditures are made.
