Agora, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Agora, Inc. (NASDAQ:API) (the "Company"), a pioneer and leader in real-time engagement technology, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

"We continued to face a very challenging operating environment this quarter. The Agora business was impacted by the tightening financing conditions of certain customers, while the Shengwang business navigated a slowing economy and fast evolving regulations in certain downstream markets," said Tony Zhao, founder, chairman and CEO of Agora, Inc. "In light of these challenges, we have taken steps to focus our resources on fewer projects with clear customer value, such as our high-definition video initiative, and target emerging use cases, such as vertical social networks. As a result, our non-GAAP net loss and operating cash outflow further narrowed this quarter, both sequentially and year-on-year. Separately, from when the board approved our share repurchase program in February 2022 to the end of June 2023, we have returned approximately $82.0 million to shareholders through share repurchases, demonstrating our commitment to safeguarding shareholder value and confidence in our long-term prospects."

Revenues of Agora were $15.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of 5.6% from $16.2 million in the same period last year, primarily due to the decrease in usage and pricing from and to certain customers due to their tightening financing conditions.

• Research and development expenses were $20.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of 37.5% from $32.4 million in the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease in research and development personnel costs as the Company optimized its global workforce, including a decrease in share-based compensation from $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2022 to $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Other Operating Income

Other operating income was $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $0.2 million in the same period last year, primarily due to receiving government subsidies in the second quarter of 2023.

Impairment of Goodwill

Impairment of goodwill was $31.9 million in the second quarter of 2023. As a result of the completion of Easemob's organizational integration in the second quarter of 2023, the Company only identified one reporting unit. Considering the negative impact on market demands as a result of a challenging global macroeconomic environment and regulatory changes in certain sectors, the Company performed quantitative impairment tests on the goodwill and recognized the impairment of goodwill, whereas there were no material transactions in the same period last year.

Loss from Operations

Loss from operations was $48.1 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $27.7 million in the same period last year.

Interest Income

Interest income was $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $2.1 million in the same period last year, primarily due to the increase in interest rates.

Investment Loss

Investment loss was $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to loss on investments in certain private companies of $4.9 million, which was offset in part by the fair value change in equity investments of $3.0 million, whereas there were no material transactions in the same period last year.

Other income

Other income was $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to the income of incentive payments from a depositary bank, whereas there were no material transactions in the same period last year.

Net loss was $45.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $30.7 million in the same period last year.

Net loss per American Depositary Share ("ADS")¹ attributable to ordinary shareholders was $0.45 in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $0.27 in the same period last year.

Share Repurchase Program

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 25.2 million of its class A ordinary shares (equivalent to approximately 6.3 million ADSs) for approximately US$20.7 million under its share repurchase program, representing 10% of its US$200 million share repurchase program.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had repurchased approximately 82.7 million of its class A ordinary shares (equivalent to approximately 20.7 million ADSs) for approximately US$82.0 million under its share repurchase program, representing 41% of its US$200 million share repurchase program.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had 390.2 million ordinary shares (equivalent to approximately 97.5 million ADSs) outstanding, reflecting a reduction of 59.6 million ordinary shares (equivalent to approximately 14.9 million ADSs) from January 31, 2022 before the share repurchase program commenced.

The current share repurchase program will expire at the end of February 2024.

Financial Outlook

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial results with other companies in its industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures. Besides free cash flow (as defined below), each of these non-GAAP financial measures represents the corresponding GAAP financial measure before share-based compensation expenses, acquisition related expenses, amortization expenses of acquired intangible assets, income tax related to acquired intangible assets and impairment of goodwill. The Company believes that such non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be distorted by the effects of such share-based compensation expenses, acquisition related expenses, amortization expenses of acquired intangible assets, income tax related to acquired intangible assets and impairment of goodwill that it includes in its cost of revenues, total operating expenses and net income (loss). The Company believes that all such non-GAAP financial measures also provide useful information about its operating results, enhance the overall understanding of its past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by its management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of its historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the tables captioned "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures" included at the end of this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.

Definitions of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are presented below.

Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss)

Non-GAAP net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude share-based compensation expenses, acquisition related expenses, amortization expenses of acquired intangible assets, income tax related to acquired intangible assets and impairment of goodwill.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before exchange gain (loss), interest income, investment income (loss), other income, equity in income of affiliates, income taxes, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of land use right, and adjusted to exclude the effects of share-based compensation expenses, acquisition related expenses, amortization expenses of acquired intangible assets and impairment of goodwill.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment (excluding the acquisition of land use right and the construction in progress for the headquarters project). The Company considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors regarding net cash provided by operating activities and cash used for investments in property and equipment required to maintain and grow the business.

Operating Metrics

The Company also uses other operating metrics included in this press release and defined below to assess the performance of its business.

Active Customers

An active customer at the end of any particular period is defined as an organization or individual developer from which the Company generated more than $100 of revenue during the preceding 12 months. Customers are counted based on unique customer account identifiers. Generally, one software application uses the same customer account identifier throughout its life cycle while one account may be used for multiple applications.

Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate

Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate is calculated for a trailing 12-month period by first identifying all customers in the prior 12-month period, and then calculating the quotient from dividing the revenue generated from such customers in the trailing 12-month period by the revenue generated from the same group of customers in the prior 12-month period. As the vast majority of revenue generated from Agora's customers is denominated in U.S. dollars, while the vast majority of revenue generated from Shengwang's customers is denominated in Renminbi, Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate is calculated in U.S. dollars for Agora and in Renminbi for Shengwang, which has substantially removed the impact of foreign currency translations. The Company believes Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis.
