    Management Commentary

    “Our strong third quarter results reflect the strategic investments that we have made throughout 2022, including increasing our sales force, enhancing our product suite, and developing improved technology,” said Asure Chairman and CEO Pat Goepel. “We believe that clients are increasingly recognizing the value of our solutions, which have continued to improve in functionality as our strategy to enhance automation and user experience takes shape. In addition, our focus on areas of differentiation, such as HR Compliance, our best-in-class tax platform, and our newly introduced Integration Marketplace, is anticipated to account for an increasing share of our revenue moving forward. These efforts have resulted in reduced churn and higher revenue from our current customer base over the prior year period, and are expected to generate high-margin revenue streams during the remainder of 2022 and into 2023.

    “Client demand for our solutions has been robust, as evidenced by the 91% year-over-year increase in new sales bookings in the third quarter. Accordingly, we are raising our fourth quarter revenue guidance, which now calls for year-over-year growth of 11% to 14%, virtually all of which is organic. We are also introducing preliminary 2023 financial guidance for revenues of $98 to $102 million and adjusted EBITDA margins of 14% to 16%. While we intend to continue to evaluate potential acquisition targets in 2023, our guidance reflects our expectation for performance on an organic basis at this time. Looking ahead, we remain focused on our commitments to helping small and mid-sized businesses get the most from their human capital.”

    Financial Commentary

    “Asure’s third quarter results showed strong double-digit revenue growth of 22% year-over-year with organic revenues beginning to accelerate as anticipated,” said CFO, John Pence. “Net loss was $4.5 million, a margin of (21)%, compared to net income of $5.3 million in the prior period, or a margin of 30%, a decline of 185% relative to the prior year, as last year’s results included a $10.5 million gain related to ERTC credits. EBITDA declined to $1.3 million relative to the prior year’s $9.9 million for the same reason. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the tax credits, rose 71% relative to the prior year to $2.1 million and adjusted EBITDA margin rose 280 basis points to 9.6%.

    “Our revenue guidance for the remainder of 2022 and 2023 contemplates strong momentum with HR Compliance, tax processing solutions, contribution from revenue streams stemming from new uses of our installed user’s data in the Integration Marketplace, and higher investment revenues due to rising interest rates and larger investible balances. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to benefit from the additional scale generated by this incremental revenue growth and the impact of the many efficiency initiatives we currently have underway.”

    Recent Business Highlights

    • Asure and Equifax® (NYSE: EFX), a global data, analytics and technology company, announced a new integration that makes The Work Number from Equifax available to Asure direct customers and reseller partners. The integration is designed to provide Asure clients and their employees the benefits of quicker, more secure verifications of employment and income from The Work Number within their existing core HCM technology stacks.

    • “Equifax brings deep expertise in verification services, and through our integration with The Work Number, we’re delivering significant benefits to our 80,000 small business customers and reseller partners and their employees,” said Pat Goepel, Chairman and CEO of Asure. “Employers will no longer have to spend time manually responding to verification requests, and their employees will have access to instant, more seamless verifications in support of important life events.”

    Asure Expands Tax Filing Capabilities Allowing CPA Firms and Tax Professionals to Scale in Response to Surging ERTC Demand

    • Developed and implemented a new technology that automates back-office processes for CPAs and tax professionals to calculate and prepare amended tax returns for small businesses claiming ERTC stimulus. Through collaboration with Asure’s CPA partners, the company has designed technology that automates the back-office transactional processes of calculating compliant tax credits and filing the necessary quarterly amended tax returns for their clients to get ERTC stimulus credits.

    • “At Asure, we’re always seeking new ways for technology to support small businesses and the organizations that serve them. Our CPA partners were telling us they couldn’t keep pace with the volume of administrative work associated with ERTC demand. Our technology automates the back-office ERTC work so they can focus on high-value client work,” said Pat Goepel, Chairman and CEO of Asure. “We’re excited about this new technology’s ability to help drive organic growth as it allows us to serve even more payroll and non-payroll clients alike.”

    Asure Expands and Streamlines 401(k) Plan Options for Small Employers with 80+ Provider Integrations and New Partnership

    • Asure payroll systems now feature direct integration with more than 80 401(k) providers. The time and expense required to maintain traditional options for providing employer-sponsored 401(k) plans have been a longtime barrier to entry for smaller employers. Asure is actively removing that barrier by making 401(k) plan delivery easier and more accessible for organizations with limited resources. Asure’s established integrations enable employers to sync their Asure payroll system and their 401(k) data to streamline enrollment, eliminate dual entry, and remain compliant.

    • “In today’s job market, prospective employees have high expectations, even from smaller organizations. Making it easy to offer 401(k) options for retirement savings is just one way that Asure is empowering our customers to be more competitive, while also removing administrative burdens,” said Pat Goepel, Chairman and CEO of Asure.

    • Announced an agreement to be a preferred provider of payroll tax filing software and services for PrismHR, a leading provider of HR solutions for PEOs, ASOs and their clients. The agreement includes integration between Asure’s FlexTax payroll tax filing engine and PrismHR’s payroll system, currently in use by more than 80,000 organizations. It also provides PrismHR customers access to Asure’s Payroll Tax Management Services, a flexible suite of options that enable customers to outsource payroll tax filing according to their needs and budget, with the ability to scale and adapt to other service plans as their needs change—without changing platforms.

    • “This new partnership provides an opportunity to significantly expand our payroll tax business into the PEO and ASO markets, while enabling PrismHR to provide an alternative, standalone tax filing solution that complements their existing HR portfolio,” said Pat Goepel, Chairman, and CEO of Asure. “Our deep expertise in the complex landscape of payroll taxes uniquely positions Asure to deliver not only a user-friendly software solution to PrismHR’s customers, but also the experienced counsel and support of a knowledgeable team of payroll tax experts.”

    Fourth Quarter 2022 and Full Year 2023 Guidance

    The Company is providing the following guidance for the fourth quarter and full year 2022 as well as fiscal year 2023 based on third quarter results and its preliminary business outlook for 2023. Our guidance is offered with the knowledge that there is a high level of economic uncertainty in 2023 due to recent inflationary trends and the potential for a recession of unknown severity.

     Guidance Range Q4-2022 2022
     Revenue$23.5M - 24.0M$90.0M - 90.5M
     Adjusted EBITDA$3.0M - 3.5M$10.5M - 11.0M
     Non-GAAP EPS$(0.01) - 0.01$0.05 - 0.07


     Guidance Range 2023 
     Revenue$98.0M - 102.0M 
     Adjusted EBITDA Margin 14% - 16% 

    Management uses GAAP, non-GAAP and adjusted measures when planning, monitoring, and evaluating the Company’s performance. The primary purpose of using non-GAAP and adjusted measures are to provide supplemental information that may prove useful to investors and to enable investors to evaluate the Company’s results in the same way management does.

    Management believes that supplementing GAAP disclosure with non-GAAP and adjusted disclosures provides investors with a more complete view of the Company’s operational performance and allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in the Company’s business. Further, to the extent that other companies use similar methods in calculating adjusted financial measures, the provision of supplemental non-GAAP and adjusted information can allow for a comparison of the Company’s relative performance against other companies that also report non-GAAP and adjusted operating results.

    Management has not provided a reconciliation of guidance of GAAP to non-GAAP or adjusted disclosures because management is unable to predict the nature and materiality of non-recurring expenses without unreasonable effort.

    Non-GAAP and Adjusted Financial Measures

    This press release includes information about bookings, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin. These non-GAAP and adjusted financial measures are measurements of financial performance that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and computational methods may differ from those used by other companies. Non-GAAP and adjusted financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP and adjusted financial measures are reconciled to GAAP in the tables set forth in this release and are subject to reclassifications to conform to current period presentations.

    Bookings represent estimated new first year contracted revenue value for recurring and non-recurring services sold in the period.

    Non-GAAP gross profit differs from gross profit in that it excludes amortization, share-based compensation, and one-time items.

    Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share differs from net income (loss) per share in that it excludes items such as amortization, share-based compensation, and one-time expenses, and may use basic or diluted share counts in its computation, as applicable.

    EBITDA differs from net income (loss) in that it excludes items such as interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Asure is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of these exclusions without unreasonable effort.

    Adjusted EBITDA differs from EBITDA in that it excludes share-based compensation, other income (expense), net and non-recurring expenses. Asure is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of these exclusions without unreasonable effort.

    All adjusted and non-GAAP measures presented as “margin” are computed by dividing the applicable adjusted financial measure by total revenue.

    Specifically, as applicable to the respective financial measure, management is adjusting for the following items when calculating non-GAAP and adjusted financial measures. as applicable for the periods presented. No additional adjustments have been made for potential income tax effects of the adjustments based on the Company’s current and anticipated de minimis effective federal tax rate, resulting from the Company’s continued losses for federal tax purposes and its tax net operating loss balances.

    Share-Based Compensation Expenses. The Company’s compensation strategy includes the use of share-based compensation to attract and retain employees and executives. It is principally aimed at aligning their interests with those of our stockholders and at long-term employee retention, rather than to motivate or reward operational performance for any particular period. Thus, share-based compensation expense varies for reasons that are generally unrelated to operational decisions and performance in any particular period.

    Depreciation. The Company excludes depreciation of fixed assets. Also included in the expense is the depreciation of capitalized software costs.

    Amortization of Purchased Intangibles. The Company views amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, such as the amortization of the cost associated with an acquired company’s research and development efforts, trade names, customer lists and customer relationships, and acquired lease intangibles, as items arising from pre-acquisition activities determined at the time of an acquisition. While these intangible assets are continually evaluated for impairment, amortization of the cost of purchased intangibles is a static expense, one that is not typically affected by operations during any particular period.

    Interest Expense, Net. The Company excludes accrued interest expense, the amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs.

    Income Taxes. The Company excludes income taxes, both at the federal and state levels.

    One-Time Expenses. The Company’s adjusted financial measures exclude the following costs to normalize comparable reporting periods, as these are generally non-recurring expenses that do not reflect the ongoing operational results. These items are typically not budgeted and are infrequent and unusual in nature.

    Settlements, Penalties and Interest. The Company excludes legal settlements, including separation agreements, penalties and interest that are generally one-time in nature and not reflective of the operational results of the business.

    Acquisition and Transaction Related Costs. The Company excludes these expenses as they are transaction costs and expenses that are generally one-time in nature and not reflective of the underlying operational results of our business. Examples of these types of expenses include legal, accounting, regulatory, other consulting services, severance and other employee costs.

    Other non-recurring Expenses. The Company excludes these as they are generally non-recurring items that are not reflective of the underlying operational results of the business and are generally not anticipated to recur. Some examples of these types of expenses, historically, have included write-offs or impairments of assets, costs related to third-party placement fees, extraordinary employee recognition, demolition of office space, data retention and cybersecurity consultants.

    Other Income, Net. The Company’s adjusted financial measures exclude Other Income, net because it includes items that are not reflective of the underlying operational results of the business, such as loan forgiveness, adjustments to contingent liabilities and credits earned as part of the CARES Act, passed by Congress in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
