Quotient Technology Inc. (NYSE: QUOT), the leading digital media and promotions technology company that creates cohesive omnichannel brand-building and sales-driving opportunities to deliver valuable outcomes for consumer-packaged goods (CPGs) manufacturers, retailers and consumers, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020. Quotient’s complete fourth quarter and full year 2020 financial results and management commentary can be found by accessing the Company’s stockholder letter under Key Resources on the overview page of the investor relations website.

Additional Financial Highlights:

Q4 2020

  • GAAP Net Loss of $25.3M
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $17.9M

FY 2020

  • GAAP Net Loss of $65.4M
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $46.0M

“2020 was a year of progress for Quotient and I am pleased that we ended strong with another record setting quarter in Q4,” said Steven Boal, CEO. “The foundation we built last year has propelled us forward in 2021. With current market tailwinds like the shift to digital, combined with our growth drivers and our dedicated and focused team, we are already witnessing increased demand for our solutions in Q1 2021 and look forward to the opportunities ahead of us.”

Recently, our Board of Directors authorized a stock buyback program of up to $50.0 million of Quotient’s common stock, effective February 16, 2021, through a new 10B5-1 plan that expires on February 16, 2022.

Additionally, Quotient is moving its company headquarters from California to Utah in 2021.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Quotient reports its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and the rules of the SEC. To supplement its financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Quotient provides investors in this press release with Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. Quotient believes that this non-GAAP measure provides investors with additional useful information used by Quotient’s management and Board of Directors for financial and operating decision making. In particular, Quotient believes that the exclusion of certain income and expenses in calculating this metric can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of its core business as well as a useful comparison to peer companies.

Quotient defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, other (income) expense, net, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of contingent consideration, certain acquisition-related costs, loss contingency/settlement related to a contract dispute, and restructuring charges. We exclude these items because we believe these items do not reflect expected future operating expenses. Additionally, certain items are inconsistent in size and frequency—making it difficult to contribute to a meaningful evaluation of our current or past operating performance.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of this non-GAAP financial measure. Quotient compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amount excluded from this non-GAAP financial measure and evaluating this non-GAAP financial measure together with its relevant GAAP financial measure.

This non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as substitute for, or as superior to the corresponding financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because of these and other limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered along with other GAAP-based financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income (loss) and Quotient’s other GAAP financial results.

For a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, see “Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA” included in this press release.
