UserTesting Reports Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Record Second Quarter Revenue of $47.6 million, up 36% year-over-year

San Francisco, August 4, 2022, UserTesting, Inc. (NYSE: USER), a leader in video-based human insight, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

“The second quarter represented our sixth consecutive quarter of year-over-year subscription growth over 40%, with record total revenue of $48 million, up 36% year-over-year,” said Andy MacMillan, CEO of UserTesting. “While we are prudently managing our expense structure in the near-term given the uncertain economic outlook, we firmly believe the mid to long-term opportunities for our business remain robust as our Human Insight Platform fundamentally helps companies better understand the driving forces behind customer behavior and delivers actionable insights to make smarter and faster business decisions.”

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights:

•Revenue: Total revenue was $47.6 million, up 36% year-over-year. Subscription revenue was $45.2 million, up 40% year-over-year.
•Operating Loss and Margin: GAAP operating loss was $(18.7) million, or (39)% of total revenue, compared to $(11.5) million, or (33)% of total revenue, in the same period last year. Non-GAAP operating loss was $(10.6) million, or (22)% of total revenue, compared to $(10.0) million, or (29)% of total revenue, in the same period last year.
•Net Loss: GAAP net loss was $(18.7) million, or $(0.13) per share, compared to $(11.7) million, or $(0.63) per share, in the same period last year. Non-GAAP net loss was $(10.6) million, or $(0.07) per share, compared to $(10.2) million, or $(0.55) per share, in the same period last year.
•Cash Flow: Net cash used in operations was $(1.3) million, compared to $(8.0) million in the same period last year. Free cash flow was $(1.6) million, compared to $(8.5) million in the same period last year.
•Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents were $164.4 million as of June 30, 2022.

Recent Business Highlights:

•Recent new wins and growth deals included Chase Bank, Minute Media, Pearson, Picsart, Rocket Central, Tailored Brands, Trainline and Woolworths.
•UserTesting named to Inc. Magazine’s Annual List of Best Workplaces for 2022.
•UserTesting brings greater privacy and confidentiality to a growing list of healthcare industry leaders with its new HIPAA compliance certification.
•Introduced new product templates that help companies better understand changing customer perceptions around inflation.






Financial Outlook:

The following revenue guidance reflects the Company’s demand expectations based on the current global macroeconomic outlook. In anticipation of these headwinds, the Company recently conducted a reduction in force which it expects will reduce the growth rate of operating expenses. As a result, the Company now expects improved operating leverage for the full year, despite the changing macroeconomic impact to revenue.

For the third quarter ending September 30, 2022, UserTesting currently expects:

•Total revenue between $47.5 million and $48.5 million.
•Non-GAAP operating margin between (27.0)% and (29.0)%.
•Non-GAAP net loss per share between $(0.09) and $(0.10) assuming 144.5 million weighted-average shares outstanding.

For the full year ending December 31, 2022, UserTesting currently expects:

•Total revenue between $190.0 million and $193.0 million.
•Non-GAAP operating margin between (23.0)% and (25.0)%.
•Non-GAAP net loss per share between $(0.31) and $(0.33) assuming 144.0 million weighted-average shares outstanding.

The guidance provided above are forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially. Refer to the “Forward-Looking Statements” section below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP operating loss margin, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, free cash flow and free cash flow margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Additional information on UserTesting’s reported results, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP measures, is included in the financial tables below. Our definition for each non-GAAP measure used is provided below, however a limitation of non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not have uniform definitions. Accordingly, our definitions for non-GAAP measures used will likely differ from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies thereby limiting comparability. In addition, the utility of free cash flow as a measure of our liquidity is limited as it does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash and cash equivalents balance for a given period.

With regards to the non-GAAP guidance provided above, a reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of expenses that may be incurred in the future, although it is important to note that these factors could be material to UserTesting’s results computed in accordance with GAAP.

For more information regarding the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance, or achievement to differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements, as well as risks relating to our business in general, we refer you to the “Risk Factors” section of our Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) filings, including our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 filed on May 4, 2022, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, and other filings and reports that we may file from time to time with the SEC, copies of which are available on our website at https://ir.usertesting.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial results, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core performance. These non-GAAP measures, which may be different from similarly-titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency





with respect to important metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision- making. We are presenting these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance using a management view, and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry. You should consider non-GAAP results alongside other financial performance measures and results presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, in evaluating non-GAAP results, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses such as those that are the subject of adjustments in deriving non-GAAP results and you should not infer from our non-GAAP results that our future results will not be affected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items.
Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share: We define these non-GAAP financial measures as the respective GAAP measures, excluding stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, reversals of prior sales and use tax accruals and related penalties and interest, restructuring expenses and the tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments. We believe it is useful to exclude these expenses in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core business and to facilitate comparison of our results over multiple periods and to those of peer companies.

Non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating loss margin: Non-GAAP gross margin is calculated as non-GAAP gross profit divided by total revenue. Non-GAAP operating loss margin is calculated as non-GAAP operating loss divided by total revenue. We use these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with traditional GAAP measures to evaluate our financial performance.

Free cash flow and free cash flow margin: We define free cash flow as net cash used in operating activities less cash used for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-used software. Free cash flow margin is calculated as free cash flow divided by total revenue. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful indicators of liquidity that provides information to management and investors, even if negative, about the amount of cash generated (or used) in our operations that, after investments in property and equipment, can be used for strategic opportunities and strengthening our balance sheet. However, free cash flow is not a substitute for cash used in operating activities. The utility of free cash flow and free cash flow margin is limited as these measures do not reflect our future contractual commitments and do not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for any given period.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Information

Calculated Billings: We define calculated billings, a non-GAAP financial measure, as total revenue plus the change in contract liabilities from the beginning to the end of the period. We typically invoice our customers annually in advance, and to a lesser extent quarterly in advance, for subscriptions to our platform. Calculated billings in any particular period reflect amounts invoiced to customers.
