"Bandwidth delivered outstanding financial results in 2024, with
25 percent revenue growth, record non-GAAP gross margin, and a 70
percent increase in Adjusted EBITDA," said Daryl Raiford, Bandwidth's Chief Financial
Officer. "Our business momentum remains strong, driven by
enterprise adoption, AI-driven product innovation, and disciplined
execution. Looking forward to 2025, we are guiding normalized
revenue growth in the range of 8 to 11 percent, accompanied by
continued growth in profitability and related free cash flow."
Fourth Quarter Customer and Operational
Highlights
- A Fortune 25 healthcare company chose Bandwidth to provide
voice services for their cloud contact center, utilizing Maestro's
integration to seamlessly transition between CCaaS platforms.
- A well-known global cruise line selected Bandwidth for their
first-ever cloud contact center deployment, seeking capability and
flexibility for current and future communication needs. Maestro's
integration ensured a smooth migration to the cloud, while
Bandwidth's owner-operated network provided mission-critical
reliability.
- Bandwidth was named a Leader for the fourth consecutive time in
the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide CPaaS 2025 Vendor Assessment (doc
#US52039625, Feb. 2025).
Financial Outlook
Bandwidth is providing guidance for its first quarter and full
year 2025 as follows (in millions) based on current indications for
its business.
For the full year 2025, Bandwidth's revenue guidance
projects 8 percent to 11 percent year-over-year growth when
adjusting for the expected cyclical reduction in political campaign
messaging activity, which resulted in revenue in the first quarter
and full year 2024 of approximately $8
million and $62 million,
respectively.

Bandwidth has not reconciled its first quarter and full year
2025 guidance related to Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income or
loss, because stock-based compensation cannot be reasonably
calculated or predicted at this time. Accordingly, a reconciliation
is not available without unreasonable effort.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes forward-looking statements. All
statements contained in this press release other than statements of
historical facts, including, without limitation, future financial
and business performance for the quarter ending March 31, 2025 and year ending December 31, 2025, the success of our product
offerings and our platform, and the value proposition of our
products, are forward-looking statements. The words "anticipate,"
"assume," "believe," "continue," "estimate," "expect," "intend,"
"guide," "may," "will" and similar expressions and their negatives
are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based
these forward-looking statements largely on our current
expectations and projections about future events and financial
trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results
of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business
operations and objectives and financial needs. These
forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties, including, without limitation, risks related to our
rapid growth and ability to sustain our revenue growth rate,
competition in the markets in which we operate, market growth, our
ability to innovate and manage our growth, our ability to expand
effectively into new markets, macroeconomic conditions both in the
U.S. and globally, legal, reputational and financial risks which
may result from ever-evolving cybersecurity threats, our ability to
operate in compliance with applicable laws, as well as other risks
and uncertainties set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of our
latest Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") and any subsequent reports that we file with the SEC.
Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing
environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible
for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the
impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any
factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to
differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and
assumptions, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of
activity, performance, achievements or events and circumstances
reflected in the forward-looking statements will occur. We are
under no obligation to update any of these forward-looking
statements after the date of this press release to conform these
statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as
required by law. You should, therefore, not rely on these
forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date
subsequent to the date of this press release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements,
which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the
United States, or GAAP, we provide investors with certain
Non-GAAP financial measures and other business metrics, which we
believe are helpful to our investors. We use these Non-GAAP
financial measures and other business metrics for financial and
operational decision-making purposes and as a means to evaluate
period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these Non-GAAP
financial measures and other business metrics provide useful
information about our operating results, enhance the overall
understanding of past financial performance and future prospects
and allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by
our management in its financial and operational
decision-making.
The presentation of Non-GAAP financial information and other
business metrics is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared
in accordance with GAAP. While our Non-GAAP financial measures and
other business metrics are an important tool for financial and
operational decision-making and for evaluating our own operating
results over different periods of time, we urge investors to review
the reconciliation of these financial measures to the comparable
GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any
single financial measure to evaluate our business.
We define Non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit after adding
back depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets
related to acquisitions and stock-based compensation. We add back
depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets related to
acquisitions and stock-based compensation because they are non-cash
items. We eliminate the impact of these non-cash items, because we
do not consider them indicative of our core operating performance.
Their exclusion facilitates comparisons of our operating
performance on a period-to-period basis. Therefore, we believe that
showing gross margin, as adjusted to remove the impact of these
non-cash expenses, is helpful to investors in assessing our gross
profit and gross margin performance in a way that is similar to how
management assesses our performance. We calculate Non-GAAP gross
margin by dividing Non-GAAP gross profit by cloud communications
revenue, which is revenue less pass-through messaging
surcharges.
We define Non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income or loss
adjusted for certain items affecting period to period
comparability. Non-GAAP net income (loss) excludes stock-based
compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets related to
acquisitions, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs for
convertible debt, acquisition related expenses, impairment charges
of intangibles assets, net cost associated with early lease
terminations and leases without economic benefit, (gain) loss on
sale of business, net (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, gain
on business interruption insurance recoveries, non-recurring items
not indicative of ongoing operations and other, and estimated tax
impact of above adjustments, net of valuation allowances.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or losses from
continuing operations, adjusted to reflect the addition or
elimination of certain statement of operations items including, but
not limited to: income tax (benefit) provision, interest (income)
expense, net, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition
related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, impairment of
intangible assets, (gain) loss on sale of business, net cost
associated with early lease terminations and leases without
economic benefit, net (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, gain
on business interruption insurance recoveries, and non-recurring
items not indicative of ongoing operations and other. We have
presented Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our
management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our
core operating performance and trends, generate future operating
plans, and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of
capital. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of certain
items in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can produce a useful measure
for period-to-period comparisons of our business.
We define free cash flow as net cash provided by or used in
operating activities less net cash used in the acquisition of
property, plant and equipment and capitalized development costs for
software for internal use. We believe free cash flow is a useful
indicator of liquidity and provides information to management and
investors about the amount of cash generated from our core
operations that can be used for investing in our business. Free
cash flow has certain limitations in that it does not represent the
total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period, it
does not take into consideration investment in long-term
securities, nor does it represent the residual cash flows available
for discretionary expenditures. Therefore, it is important to
evaluate free cash flow along with our condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows.
We believe that these Non-GAAP financial measures provide useful
information about our operating results, enhance the overall
understanding of past financial performance and future prospects
and allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by
our management in its financial and operational decision-making.
While a reconciliation of Non-GAAP guidance measures to
corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking
basis as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential
variability of, many of these costs and expenses that we may incur
in the future, we have provided a reconciliation of Non-GAAP
financial measures and other business metrics to the nearest
comparable GAAP measures in the accompanying financial statement
tables included in this press release.

(1) Non-recurring items not
indicative of ongoing operations and other include (i) $0.3 million
and $0.4 million of losses on disposals of property, plant and
equipment during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023,
(ii) $1.0 million gain on the sale of an intangible asset and $0.4
million of losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment
during the year ended December 31, 2024, and (iii) $0.4 million of
expense resulting from the early termination of our undrawn SVB
credit facility and $0.8 million of losses on disposals of
property, plant and equipment during the year ended December 31,
2023.
|
(2) The
estimated tax-effect of adjustments is determined by recalculating
the tax provision on a Non-GAAP basis. The Non-GAAP effective
income tax rate was 18.1% and 10.1% for the years ended December
31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the year ended December 31,
2024, the Non-GAAP effective income tax rate differed from the
federal statutory tax rate of 21% in the U.S. primarily due to the
research and development tax credits generated in 2024. We analyze
the Non-GAAP valuation allowance position on a quarterly basis. In
the fourth quarter of 2022, we removed the valuation allowance
against all U.S. deferred tax assets for Non-GAAP purposes as a
result of cumulative Non-GAAP U.S. income over the past three years
and a significant depletion of net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards on a Non-GAAP basis. As of December 31, 2024, we have
no valuation allowance against our remaining deferred tax assets
for Non-GAAP purposes.
|
(3) Non-GAAP net income is increased
for interest expense as part of the calculation for diluted
Non-GAAP earnings per share.
