Management Commentary
Crexendo Chief Executive Officer Jeff Korn commented, "We finished the year strong and have considerable momentum behind our combined businesses as we head into 2023. In the fourth quarter we drove a 34% increase in consolidated revenue while continuing to grow on an organic basis as well. We substantially improved non-GAAP net income to $4.1 million, underscoring the inherent profitability of our operations once our performance can be viewed on a comparable basis.
"We will continue recognizing synergies from our Software Solutions acquisition and will benefit from the integration and synergies from our recent Allegiant acquisition. As a combined organization, we expect to drive more new sales and to realize greater expansion revenue opportunities from our collective customer base. We will also improve our cost profile substantially as we aim to increase cash flow and profitability by the end of the year."
Company President and Chief Operating Officer Doug Gaylor added, "We made considerable progress this year in architecting our vision for the future of Crexendo. With the recent management transition, we have continuity in our leadership team with a refreshed perspective on how to take our Company into its next phase of growth. Our sales and marketing teams are operating productively, and we fully expect those efforts to materialize into increased enterprise sales and improved margins in 2023. We also remain committed to our existing customers through a concerted focus on providing the best products, services and support in the industry."
Steve Mihaylo, retiring CEO, commented "I am excited to start my retirement and turn leadership of the company to Jeff and the management team. To see our telecom offerings grow from zero to a $45M+ run rate over the last decade has been a tremendous accomplishment and I am excited to watch the company continue to prosper under Jeff's direction."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To evaluate our business, we consider and use non-generally accepted accounting principles ("Non-GAAP") net income and Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of operating performance. These measures include the same adjustments that management takes into account when it reviews and assesses operating performance on a period-to-period basis. We consider Non-GAAP net income to be an important indicator of overall business performance because it allows us to evaluate results without the effects of share-based compensation, acquisition related expenses, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, amortization of intangibles, and long-lived asset impairment. We define EBITDA as U.S. GAAP net income/(loss) before interest expense, interest income and other expense/(income), goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, provision/(benefit) for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA provides a useful metric to investors to compare us with other companies within our industry and across industries. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for acquisition related expenses, changes in fair value of contingent consideration and share-based compensation. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. We also believe use of Adjusted EBITDA facilitates investors' use of operating performance comparisons from period to period, as well as across companies.
In our March 14, 2023 earnings press release, as furnished on Form 8-K, we included Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. The terms Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S. GAAP, and are not measures of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income/(loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to:
- EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
- they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
- they do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt that we may incur;
- they do not reflect income taxes or the cash requirements for any tax payments;
- although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will be replaced sometime in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
- while share-based compensation is a component of operating expense, the impact on our financial statements compared to other companies can vary significantly due to such factors as the assumed life of the options and the assumed volatility of our common stock; and
- other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental support for management's analysis of business performance. Non-GAAP net income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows for the periods presented.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In accordance with the requirements of Regulation G issued by the SEC, we are presenting the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and reconciling the unaudited Non-GAAP financial metrics to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures.
