AUSTIN, Texas (May 9, 2023)Q2 Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:QTWO), a leading provider of digital transformation solutions for banking and lending, today announced results for its first quarter ending March 31, 2023.

Non-GAAP Results for the First Quarter 2023

Non-GAAP revenue for the first quarter of $153.1 million, up 14 percent year-over-year and up 4 percent from the fourth quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP gross margin for the first quarter of 54.0 percent, up from 51.4 percent for the prior-year quarter and 51.5 percent for the fourth quarter of 2022.

For a reconciliation of our GAAP to non-GAAP results, please see the tables below.

“We delivered strong financial results and sales execution in the first quarter, in spite of a complex backdrop in the regional and community banking space," said Q2 CEO Matt Flake. "In times like these, I believe our technology is mission-critical in helping financial institutions retain customers and grow deposits. As a result, we delivered record digital banking bookings in the quarter, and continue to see robust demand for our software solutions. Our accelerated growth in subscription revenue, combined with strong adjusted EBITDA results, demonstrate the underlying strength of our model and why we're confident we can drive long-term value creation."

First Quarter Highlights

Signed three Tier 1 digital banking contracts including a:
Top 100 U.S. bank to utilize our retail, commercial, and small business banking solutions, representing a top 5 digital banking win in company history by initial contract value;
Top 100 U.S. bank to utilize our commercial and small business banking solutions; and
Top 100 U.S. credit union to utilize our commercial and small business banking solutions.

Signed numerous expansion deals with existing customers across our business including (an):
Expansion with one of our largest Alt-Fi customers utilizing our loan origination solutions; and
Multi-year renewals with two of our top ten Helix customers.

Exited the first quarter with approximately 21.5 million registered users on the Q2 digital banking platform, representing 9 percent year-over-year growth and 2 percent sequential growth.

Repurchased $171.3 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due in 2025 and 2026 for $149.1 million in cash and paid $10.9 million in aggregate principal for the maturity of the 2023 convertible senior notes.





“We were pleased with our financial performance in the first quarter with revenue and adjusted EBITDA results exceeding the high end of our guidance,” said David Mehok, Q2 CFO. “Our overachievement in the quarter was a result of greater than expected subscription revenue growth and driving cost efficiencies across the business. Our updated revenue guidance reflects a moderation in lower margin discretionary services projects including one of our larger clients. Our first quarter EBITDA results, continued strength in subscription revenue and our focus on growth with improved profitability gives us confidence in raising our full year adjusted EBITDA guidance.”

Financial Outlook

As of May 9, 2023, Q2 Holdings is providing guidance for its second quarter of 2023 and updated guidance for its full-year 2023, which represents Q2 Holdings’ current estimates on Q2 Holdings’ operations and financial results. The financial information below represents forward-looking, non-GAAP financial information, including estimates of non-GAAP revenue and adjusted EBITDA. GAAP net loss is the most comparable GAAP measure to adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA differs from GAAP net loss in that it excludes items such as depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition related costs, interest and other (income) expense, income taxes, lease and other restructuring charges, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt and the impact to deferred revenue from purchase accounting. Q2 Holdings is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of these exclusions without unreasonable effort. Therefore, Q2 Holdings has not provided guidance for GAAP net loss or a reconciliation of the foregoing forward-looking adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP net loss. However, it is important to note that these excluded items could be material to our results computed in accordance with GAAP in future periods.

Q2 Holdings is providing guidance for its second quarter of 2023 as follows:

Total non-GAAP revenue of $153.1 million to $155.1 million, which would represent year-over-year growth of 9 percent to 10 percent.

Adjusted EBITDA of $14.0 million to $16.0 million, representing 9 to 10 percent of non-GAAP revenue for the quarter.

Q2 Holdings is providing updated guidance for the full-year 2023 as follows:

Total non-GAAP revenue of $618.0 million to $630.0 million, which would represent year-over-year growth of 9 percent to 11 percent.

Adjusted EBITDA of $67.0 million to $71.0 million, representing 11 percent of non-GAAP revenue for the year.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Q2 uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP revenue; adjusted EBITDA; non-GAAP gross margin; non-GAAP gross profit; non-GAAP sales and marketing expense; non-GAAP research and development expense; non-GAAP general and administrative expense; non-GAAP operating expense; and non-GAAP operating income (loss). Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful measures of operating performance because they exclude items that Q2 does not consider indicative of its core performance.

In the case of non-GAAP revenue, Q2 adjusts revenue to exclude the impact to deferred revenue from purchase accounting adjustments. In the case of adjusted EBITDA, Q2 adjusts net loss for such items as interest and other (income) expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition related costs, lease and other restructuring charges, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt and the impact to deferred revenue from purchase accounting. In the case of non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP gross profit, Q2 adjusts gross profit and gross margin for stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired technology, acquisition related costs, lease and other restructuring charges and the impact to deferred revenue from purchase accounting. In the case of non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP research and development expense, and non-GAAP general and administrative expense, Q2 adjusts the corresponding GAAP expense to exclude stock-based compensation. Non-GAAP Operating Expense is calculated by taking the sum of non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP research and development expense, and non-GAAP general and administrative expense. In the case of non-GAAP operating income (loss), Q2 adjusts operating loss and net loss, respectively, for stock-based compensation, acquisition related costs, amortization of acquired technology, amortization of acquired intangibles, lease and other restructuring charges, and the impact to deferred revenue from purchase accounting.

There are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation between companies. Certain items that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures can have a material impact on operating and net income (loss). As a result, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, the closest GAAP measures, or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation to the closest GAAP measures of these non-GAAP measures is contained in tabular form on the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Q2’s management uses these non-GAAP measures as measures of operating performance; to prepare Q2’s annual operating budget; to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of Q2’s business; to evaluate the effectiveness of Q2’s business strategies; to provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance; to facilitate a comparison of Q2’s results with those of other companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results; and in communication with our board of directors concerning Q2’s financial performance.
