Our ability to execute on our plan and grow the business is due to the hard work and commitment of our entire team. Our employees come to work every day with a passion for their jobs and to provide the best service and benefits to our customers and our shareholders. The fourth quarter and year end results support my confidence in our ability to execute on our long-term strategic plan. We have met every milestone that I have committed to including now doing a superb job of consolidating operations. Our entire team has worked tirelessly to make operational and structural improvements and the combined post-merger operation is going to provide substantial benefits to our customers and shareholders. One such example, of many, is the Crexendo VIP™ platform powered by the award winning NetSapiens technology which is the top in the business that provides what I am convinced are the best benefits in the industry as well as the best support package offered which includes our 100% uptime guarantee. VIP™ shows that our combined operations are capable of having the dual benefit of reducing our expenses while allowing us to improve service to both the telecom and software solutions customers. This type of collaboration is only the beginning, and I am convinced the merger will continue to provide substantial customer and shareholder benefits."

Mihaylo added, "I am very excited with our results, consolidated total revenue for the fourth quarter increasing 108% is a major milestone, I am also highly impressed that 2021 total revenue increased 71% year-over-year to $28.1 million. This is a very exciting metric, and I am convinced that this is only the beginning. With that said we are diligently working on improving margins by increasing efficiencies, targeting expenses and implementing price increases. I fully believe that we will continue to grow the business both organically as well as through additional accretive acquisitions. My expectation of growing the business by 40% to 50% has not changed. I have never been more excited about the future for Crexendo, our customers, our employees, and our shareholders."

Doug Gaylor, President, and Chief Operating Officer, stated, "I agree with Steve that our results of the combined organization have been great. I am particularly gratified that we have met all the milestones we had committed to including integrating last year's major acquisition of NetSapiens. We are operating as one team with one commitment to our customers, employees, and shareholders. While I am pleased with our progress, I know we have much more that we can and will accomplish. The results were exciting, but we are not resting on our laurels, we have recently announced partnerships with multiple Master Agents as well as our recently announced partnership with Mavenir. We will continue to work on these types of relationships which I believe will help fuel our future growth. We will also work on aggressively growing the business organically and inorganically. I couldn't be more excited about our opportunity for continued growth and success in the future."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To evaluate our business, we consider and use non-generally accepted accounting principles ("Non-GAAP") net income and Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of operating performance. These measures include the same adjustments that management takes into account when it reviews and assesses operating performance on a period-to-period basis. We consider Non-GAAP net income to be an important indicator of overall business performance because it allows us to evaluate results without the effects of share-based compensation, acquisition related expenses, changes in fair value of contingent consideration and amortization of intangibles. We define EBITDA as U.S. GAAP net income/(loss) before interest income, interest expense, other income and expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA provides a useful metric to investors to compare us with other companies within our industry and across industries. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for acquisition related expenses, changes in fair value of contingent consideration and share-based compensation. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. We also believe use of Adjusted EBITDA facilitates investors' use of operating performance comparisons from period to period, as well as across companies.

In our March 21, 2022, earnings press release, as furnished on Form 8-K, we included Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The terms Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S. GAAP, and are not measures of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income/(loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to:

  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
  • they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
  • they do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt that we may incur;
  • they do not reflect income taxes or the cash requirements for any tax payments;
  • although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will be replaced sometime in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
  • while share-based compensation is a component of operating expense, the impact on our financial statements compared to other companies can vary significantly due to such factors as the assumed life of the options and the assumed volatility of our common stock; and
  • other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental support for management's analysis of business performance. Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows for the periods presented.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In accordance with the requirements of Regulation G issued by the SEC, we are presenting the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and reconciling the unaudited Non-GAAP financial metrics to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures.
