Management Commentary

"Crexendo had a very strong performance in the third quarter with 52% year-over-year revenue growth to $13.9 million, GAAP profitability, and strong positive cash flow. In addition to exceeding our internal goals for the quarter, we announced exceeding 3.5 million users on our platform, as well as new CPaaS, API, and new generative AI capabilities on our platform. We continued our effective management of costs and completed our integration plans. This was a remarkable quarter and convinces me that the moves we have made are gaining traction and making the company more effective and profitable." said Crexendo Chief Executive Officer Jeff Korn. "I am very pleased and excited by our results and the traction we are seeing; this is a testament to the hard work and dedication by our team."

"Our strong results continue to reinforce why we are the third largest, and fastest growing Unified communications as a service (UCaaS) platform in the industry. We work closely with our licensees to make certain the NetSapiens platform remains cutting edge and the best in the industry. We just completed our most successful User Group Meeting where we rolled out enhanced APIs, making third-party integration easier for customers. These integrations will help accommodate the needs of our customers and should also enable us to receive revenue sharing on approved software used by our licensees. We continue to see record demand and installations in our Telecommunication Services segment and expect that demand to continue. We will continue to invest in and improve our offerings and services. We will continue to work on selling larger opportunities and increasing organic sales while again starting to review accretive acquisitions which could further accelerate our growth. I am confident that our strong performance will continue, and I am very encouraged by our progress and extremely excited by our future."

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 goodwill 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 November 9, 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.
