Management Commentary
“Our improving financial results and strong SaaS KPIs in Q3 reflect the increasing success and momentum of our partner-led sales strategy as well as our customers growing their investment with Qumu as their trusted provider of live and asynchronous video content,” said CEO of Qumu, Rose Bentley. “In particular, our partner strategy has been validated by the volume of opportunities we are seeing as well as by the rate we are closing new business. In fact, our new logo count for the first nine months of the year exceeds all new logos we secured in 2021 and we continue to see over 80% of our new bookings being sourced by our partners.”
Qumu CFO Tom Krueger commented: “During Q3 we built on the financial momentum we established in the first half of 2022 by delivering solid growth across our key SaaS metrics. Highlighting our success is the 6% increase in SaaS revenue and 7% increase in SaaS ARR. Renewals and retention rates were especially strong in the quarter, with gross retention rate of 92% and net retention rate of 100%. Importantly, we were able to achieve these results while reducing our operating expenses by 12% sequentially and 30% year-over-year, which enabled us to improve cash used in operations by $2.3 million compared to Q2 2022. We have made great strides improving our cash usage, and we will continually look for ways to further optimize our cost profile without sacrificing our ability to scale.”
Bentley continued: “Looking ahead, our pipeline for renewals and new customers is incredibly strong. Many of the renewals include expansion of our customer relationships as they look to increase usage of the Qumu platform resulting in a broader network of technology partners and new enterprise use cases going forward. A growing number of renewals secured in Q3 were for multi-year contracts, and we expect future renewals to follow suit. In fact, three-to-five-year contracts accounted for nearly 20% of our renewals year-to-date, reflecting the confidence our customers have in our cloud-based solution and unmatched level of customer service.
“Longer term, our three-year vision for Qumu is to achieve $50 million in revenue as a profitable and predictable company by the end of 2025. The strategic investments that we have made into the business over the past several years position us to now focus on scaling outwardly and promoting our platform through our network of partners and collaborators. The benefits of our transformation will become increasingly evident in growth in recurring revenues later this year and in 2023.”
Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Revenue for Q3 2022 was $5.5 million, compared to $5.1 million in Q2 2022 and $6.4 million in Q3 2021. The year-over-year decrease was due to the company’s strategic shift away from perpetual license sales, and the related maintenance revenue, and toward SaaS sales.
Service revenue was $4.9 million in both Q3 2022 and Q2 2022 and $5.7 million in Q3 2021. The year-over-year decrease resulted from customer contracts sunsetting, which impacted maintenance revenue associated with the company’s on-premise solution. Subscription and support revenue, which is included in service revenue and comprises the company's SaaS revenue, was $2.8 million in both Q3 2022 and Q2 2022 and $2.6 million in Q3 2021. The company expects subscription revenue will continue to grow as Qumu executes on its cloud transformation strategy.
Gross margin in Q3 2022 was 77.5%, compared to gross margin of 75.4% for Q2 2022 and 76.0% for Q3 2021. The gross margin percentage improved due primarily to better margins on SaaS revenue recognized compared to Q2 2022, a higher percentage of SaaS revenue contributing to the overall sales mix compared to Q3 2021, and improved utilization of professional services personnel.
Net loss in Q3 2022 totaled $(1.4) million, or $(0.08) loss per basic and diluted share. This compares to net loss of $(2.6) million, or $(0.15) loss per basic and diluted share, for Q2 2022 and net loss of $(3.7) million, or $(0.21) loss per basic and diluted share, in Q3 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA loss, a non-GAAP measure, in Q3 2022 was $(1.6) million, compared to $(3.1) million in Q2 2022 and $(3.5) million in Q2 2021.
As of September 30, 2022, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $6.0 million and borrowings on its line of credit of $1.2 million.
Business Outlook
Qumu provides guidance based on current market conditions and expectations. The company emphasizes that its guidance is subject to various important cautionary factors referenced in the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” below, including risks and uncertainties associated with the company’s strategic plan, transition to SaaS recurring revenue through channel partners, and the COVID-19 pandemic, such as trends in distributed remote and hybrid work impacting enterprise technology adoption and procurement.
To give insight into the progress of Qumu’s SaaS business transformation, the company provides a business outlook based on the percentage of recurring revenue comprised of SaaS revenue. Qumu’s management reiterated its expectation that SaaS recurring revenue will comprise approximately 65% of its overall recurring revenue mix by the end of 2022, with targeted growth to approximately 75% of recurring revenue mix by the end of 2023.

Non-GAAP Information
To supplement the company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the company uses Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, which excludes certain items from net loss, a GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA excludes items related to interest income and expense, the impact of income-based taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of derivative and warrant liabilities, foreign currency gains and losses, Employee Retention Credit income, gain on sale of BriefCam, Ltd. and other non-operating income and expenses.
The company uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when planning, monitoring, and evaluating the company’s performance. The company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides supplemental information that allows investors to review the company's results of operations from the same perspective as management and the company's board of directors. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding our operating results. The non-GAAP results should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
See the attached Supplemental Financial Information for a reconciliation of net loss, a GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
