    Comments on the News
    Alex Shootman, Chief Executive Officer, said, “In the second quarter, we continued to drive revenue growth, sales performance and operating efficiency. We closed seven new logos, including two banks, bringing our first half new logo count to six credit unions and six banks. In addition, we continued to expand add-on sales as FIs seek more ways to enhance the user experience. Our performance is a testament to continued marketplace demand for high-quality, end-to-end digital solutions, Alkami’s superior execution, and our enthusiasm for innovation and client service.”

    “We exited the second quarter with 13.3 million digital banking users on the Alkami platform, up 24% from the year-ago quarter,” said Bryan Hill, Chief Financial Officer. “In addition, add-on sales represented over 40% of new sales during the quarter, and there are now 39 new logos and significant add-on sales orders in implementation, representing a total of $38 million in Annual Recurring Revenue. We exited the quarter with Annual Recurring Revenue of $204 million, up 41% compared to June 30, 2021. Our revenue per registered user ended the quarter at $15.33, including a contribution of $0.88 from our Segmint acquisition, up 14% compared to the year-ago period.”

    2022 Financial Outlook
    Alkami’s financial outlook is based on current expectations, and includes the impact of the Segmint acquisition, which closed on April 25, 2022. The following statements are forward-looking, and actual results could differ materially depending on market conditions and the factors set forth under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

    Alkami is providing guidance for its third quarter ending September 30, 2022 of:

    • GAAP total revenue in the range of $51.5 million to $52.5 million;
    • Adjusted EBITDA loss in the range of ($6.0) million to ($5.0) million.

    Alkami is providing guidance for its calendar year ending December 31, 2022 of:

    • GAAP total revenue in the range of $201.0 million to $203.5 million;
    • Adjusted EBITDA loss in the range of ($20.0) million to ($18.0) million.

    Alkami expects Segmint to contribute approximately $9.0 million of revenue and an immaterial negative Adjusted EBITDA to its 2022 full-year financial performance. Alkami expects Segmint's annual recurring revenue under contract at December 31, 2022 to be in the range of $15 to $17 million, which represents a growth rate of 30% to 50% when compared to Segmint’s annual recurring revenue as of December 31, 2021.

    Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Business Metrics

    The company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. However, the company believes that, in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial, operational and strategic trends, it may be helpful for investors to exclude certain non-cash or non-recurring items when used as a supplement to financial performance measures in accordance with GAAP. These items result from facts and circumstances that vary in both frequency and impact on continuing operations. The company also uses results of operations excluding such items to evaluate the operating performance of Alkami and compare it against prior periods, make operating decisions, determine executive compensation, and serve as a basis for long-term strategic planning. These non-GAAP financial measures provide the company with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in its ongoing business by eliminating certain non-cash expenses and other items that Alkami believes might otherwise make comparisons of its ongoing business with prior periods more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations, reduce management’s ability to make useful forecasts, or obscure the ability to evaluate the effectiveness of certain business strategies and management incentive structures. In addition, the company also believes that investors and financial analysts find this information to be helpful in analyzing the company’s financial and operational performance and comparing this performance to the company’s peers and competitors.

    The company defines “Non-GAAP Cost of Revenues” as cost of revenues, excluding (1) amortization of intangible assets, (2) amortization of capitalized internal use software and (3) stock-based compensation expense. The company believes that investors and financial analysts find this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful in analyzing the company’s financial and operational performance, comparing this performance to the company’s peers and competitors, and understanding the company’s ability to generate income from ongoing business operations.

    The company defines “Non-GAAP Gross Margin” as gross profit, plus (1) amortization of intangible assets, (2) amortization of capitalized internal use software and (3) stock-based compensation expense, all divided by revenue. The company believes that investors and financial analysts find this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful in analyzing the company’s financial and operational performance, comparing this performance to the company’s peers and competitors, and understanding the company’s ability to generate income from ongoing business operations.

    The company defines “Non-GAAP Research and Development Expense” as research and development expense, excluding (1) amortization of intangible assets and (2) stock-based compensation expense. The company believes that investors and financial analysts find this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful in analyzing the company’s financial and operational performance, comparing this performance to the company’s peers and competitors, and understanding the company’s ongoing expenditures related to product innovation.

    The company defines “Non-GAAP Sales and Marketing Expense” as sales and marketing expense, excluding (1) amortization of intangible assets and (2) stock-based compensation expense. The company believes that investors and financial analysts find this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful in analyzing the company’s financial and operational performance, comparing this performance to the company’s peers and competitors, and understanding the company’s ongoing expenditures related to its sales and marketing strategies.

    The company defines “Non-GAAP General and Administrative Expense” as general and administrative expense, excluding (1) amortization of intangible assets and (2) stock-based compensation expense. The company believes that investors and financial analysts find this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful in analyzing the company’s financial and operational performance, comparing this performance to the company’s peers and competitors, and understanding the company’s underlying expense structure to support corporate activities and processes.

    The company defines “Non-GAAP Net Loss” as net loss attributable to common stockholders, plus (1) convertible preferred stock deemed and accrued dividends, (2) provision for income taxes (3) loss on financial instruments, (4) amortization of intangible assets, (5) amortization of capitalized internal use software, (6) stock-based compensation expense, (7) legal settlement (8) loss on extinguishment of debt and (9) acquisition-related expenses, net. The company believes that investors and financial analysts find this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful in analyzing the company’s financial and operational performance, comparing this performance to the company’s peers and competitors, and understanding the company’s ability to generate income from ongoing business operations.

    The company defines “Adjusted EBITDA” as net loss plus (1) provision for income taxes (2) loss on financial instruments, (3) interest expense, net, (4) amortization of intangible assets, (5) amortization of capitalized internal use software, (6) depreciation, (7) stock-based compensation expense, (8) legal settlement (9) loss on extinguishment of debt and (10) acquisition-related expenses, net. The company believes adjusted EBITDA provides investors and other users of our financial information consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations.

    In addition, the Company also uses the following important operating metrics to evaluate its business:

    The company defines “Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)” by aggregating annualized recurring revenue related to SaaS subscription services recognized in the last month of the reporting period as well as the next 12 months of expected implementation services revenues for all clients on the platform in the last month of the reporting period. We believe ARR provides important information about our future revenue potential, our ability to acquire new clients, and our ability to maintain and expand our relationship with existing clients.

    The company defines “Registered Users” as an individual or business related to an account holder of an FI client on our digital banking platform who has registered to use one or more of our solutions and has current access to use those solutions as of the last day of the reporting period presented. We price our digital banking platform based on the number of registered users, so as the number of registered users of our digital banking platform increases, our ARR grows. We believe growth in the number of registered users provides important information about our ability to expand market adoption of our digital banking platform and its associated software products, and therefore to grow revenues over time.

    The company defines “Revenue per Registered User (RPU)” by dividing ARR for the reporting period by the number of registered users as of the last day of the reporting period. We believe RPU provides important information about our ability to grow the number of software products adopted by new clients over time, as well as our ability to expand the number of software products that our existing clients add to their contracts with us over time.
