Grid Dynamics Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Financial Results

Record Fourth Quarter Revenue of $66.5 million and Full Year Revenue of $211.3 million

SAN RAMON, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 3, 2022 / Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:GDYN) ("Grid Dynamics"), a leader in enterprise-level digital transformation, today announced results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021.

We are very pleased to report another record quarter of revenue in the company's history. Our revenue of $66.5 million in the fourth quarter 2021 was up 14.9% on a sequential basis and 120.9% on a year-over-year basis. During the fourth quarter we witnessed growth across our verticals and customers. After factoring out revenues of $15.2 million from our recent acquisitions of Daxx Web Industries B.V. ("Daxx") and Tacit Knowledge ("Tacit") in fourth quarter of 2021 and $1.0 million for the same period of 2020, our fourth quarter revenue of $51.3 million grew 76.0% on a year-over-year basis and was another all-time high for the company.

During the fourth quarter we had 221 customers, 163 coming from our acquisitions of Daxx and Tacit and the remaining of 58 from our organic business. Of these 58 customers, we added 5 new customers, and this brought our year-to-date new customer total to 23, higher than the 16 we added in all of 2020.

"2021 has been a transformational year for Grid Dynamics, as we achieved multiple milestones. We almost doubled our annual revenue over 2020, accelerated our new logo additions, elevated our status with tier-one Cloud Providers, successfully completed our second acquisition, redeemed all our warrants, and conducted a successful capital raise. We significantly exceeded everyone's expectations and such a high-level of execution is a testament to our strong fundamentals. More importantly, we continue to find ourselves playing pivotal roles in influencing our customers' growth strategies around digital transformation initiatives," said Leonard Livschitz, CEO.

"As you all know, on February 24th Russia launched an invasion against Ukraine. There is a war raging in Ukraine right now. The situation continues to evolve daily, and we are providing continuous humanitarian assistance to our employees, their families, and others. We have activated our business continuity plan to maximize the safety of our employees and minimize disruptions to our customers. We have taken care of a majority of our Ukrainian employees and their families. They currently reside in Western Ukraine and neighboring countries. Additionally, we have rapidly accelerated hiring efforts in Central and Western Europe as well as Latin America. We expanded our Global Mobility Program to support our presence across even more geographies. This includes our strategic plan to invest into India. This week Grid Dynamics announced the formation of Grid Dynamics India, and we expect to scale rapidly. On the operational front, our actions are paying off as productivity ramps up. We are grateful to all of our customers for their overwhelming support to our employees and their families and for the commitment they are demonstrating to their relationship with Grid Dynamics".

See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Information" below for a discussion of our non-GAAP measures.

Cash Flow and Other Metrics

  • Cash provided by operating activities was $18.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
  • Cash and cash equivalents totaled $144.4 million as of December 31, 2021, compared to $112.7 million as of December 31, 2020.

Financial Outlook

  • The company expects revenue in the first quarter of 2022 to be in the range of $55 million to $60 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2022 is expected to be between 8% and 12% of revenue, or $4.4 million and $7.2 million.
  • For the first quarter of 2022, we expect our basic share count to be in the 69-70 million range and diluted share count to be in the 72-73 million range.

Grid Dynamics is not able, at this time, to provide GAAP targets for net income for the first quarter of 2022 because of the difficulty of estimating certain items excluded from non-GAAP EBITDA that cannot be reasonably predicted, such as interest, taxes, other income, fair-value adjustments, and charges related to stock-based compensation expense. The effect of these excluded items may be significant.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial measures presented in Grid Dynamics press release in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), the Company also presents non-GAAP measures of financial performance.

A "non-GAAP financial measure" refers to a numerical measure of Grid Dynamics historical or future financial performance or financial position that is included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Grid Dynamics provides certain non-GAAP measures as additional information relating to its operating results as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a measure of liquidity and profitability.

Grid Dynamics has included these non-GAAP financial measures because they are financial measures used by Grid Dynamics' management to evaluate Grid Dynamics' core operating performance and trends, to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments and are among the factors analyzed in making performance-based compensation decisions for key personnel.

Grid Dynamics believes the use of non-GAAP financial measures, as a supplement to GAAP measures, is useful to investors in that they eliminate items that are either not part of core operations or do not require a cash outlay, such as stock-based compensation expense. Grid Dynamics believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors and other users of its financial information consistency and comparability with its past financial performance and facilitate period to period comparisons of operations. Grid Dynamics believes these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating its operating performance compared to that of other companies in its industry, as they generally eliminate the effects of certain items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, these measures may differ from the non-GAAP information, even where similarly titled, used by other companies and therefore should not be used to compare our performance to that of other companies. Grid Dynamics compensates for these limitations by providing investors and other users of its financial information a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the related GAAP financial measures. Grid Dynamics encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view its non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures. Please see the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures attached to this release.

Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are not historical facts and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results of Grid Dynamics to differ materially from those expected and projected. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the words "believes," "estimates," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "may," "will," "potential," "projects," "predicts," "continue," or "should," or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the quotations of management, the section titled "Financial Outlook," and statements concerning Grid Dynamics's expectations with respect to future performance, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside Grid Dynamics's control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (i) Grid Dynamics has a relatively short operating history and operates in a rapidly evolving industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate future prospects and may increase the risk that it will not continue to be successful and may adversely impact our stock price; (ii) Grid Dynamics may be unable to effectively manage its growth or achieve anticipated growth, which could place significant strain on Grid Dynamics' management personnel, systems and resources; (iii) Grid Dynamics' revenues are highly dependent on a limited number of clients and industries that are affected by seasonal trends, and any decrease in demand for outsourced services in these industries may reduce Grid Dynamics' revenues and adversely affect Grid Dynamics' business, financial condition and results of operations; (iv) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine has and may continue to materially adversely affect our stock price, business operations, and overall financial performance; (v) Grid Dynamics' revenues are highly dependent on clients primarily located in the United States, and any economic downturn in the United States or in other parts of the world, including Europe or disruptions in the credit markets may have a material adverse effect on Grid Dynamics' business, financial condition and results of operations; (vi) Grid Dynamics faces intense and increasing competition; (vii) Grid Dynamics' failure to successfully attract, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly skilled personnel could materially adversely affect Grid Dynamics' business, financial condition and results of operations; (viii) failure to adapt to rapidly changing technologies, methodologies and evolving industry standards may have a material adverse effect on Grid Dynamics' business, financial condition and results of operations; (ix) failure to successfully deliver contracted services or causing disruptions to clients' businesses may have a material adverse effect on Grid Dynamics' reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations; (x) risks and costs related to acquiring and integrating other companies, including Daxx and Tacit; and (xi) other risks and uncertainties indicated in Grid Dynamics filings with the SEC.

Grid Dynamics cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Grid Dynamics cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Grid Dynamics does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. Further information about factors that could materially affect Grid Dynamics, including its results of operations and financial condition, is set forth under the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed November 4, 2021 and in other periodic filings Grid Dynamics makes with the SEC.
