AUSTIN, Texas, March 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mondee Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:MOND) ("Mondee" or the "Company"), a leading travel marketplace and artificial intelligence (AI) technology company, today announced preliminary unaudited financial results for the three-month period and full-year ended December 31, 2023.

"Mondee is pleased to report record net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA in Q4 and full year 2023 ("FY 23"), exceeding guidance. This strong year-over-year growth was fueled by product and geographic expansion of our marketplace, industry-leading technology advancements, and sustained leisure travel demand. We are focused on marketplace expansion in both content, geography and new-era distribution as well as widening our technology lead in AI with investments in Abhi, the first AI-powered travel platform and the acquisition of AI pioneer Purplegrids. These initiatives, coupled with sustained transaction growth, take rate improvement, and cost control are expected to enhance revenues and profitability," said Founder, Chairman, and CEO Prasad Gundumogula.

"Mondee's record financial performance continues, with gross bookings increasing by 24% in Q4 2023. The success of our monetization strategies led to a take rate of nearly 10%, double pre-pandemic levels, driving net revenue growth of 78%. Turning to profitability, 2023 Adjusted EBITDA of $21.0 million increased by 77% year-over-year. Looking forward, we remain committed to top-line growth, profitability, and cash flow generation," said CFO Jesus Portillo.

Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2023 Preliminary Unaudited Financial Highlights¹

• Gross bookings of $619 million expected for the quarter, an increase of 24% compared to $500 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 ("Q4 22"). FY 23 gross bookings of $2.6 billion grew 19% compared to full year 2022 ("FY 22").
• Net revenues of $61.1 million expected for the quarter, an increase of 78% compared to $34.2 million in Q4 22. FY 23 net revenue of $222.3 million grew 39% compared to FY 22 and exceeded guidance of $217 million.
• Net Loss of $(12.5) million expected for the quarter, which included $11.3 million of non-cash and/or non-recurring items, such as $3.4 million of stock-based compensation and $2.8 million of intangible assets amortization, among others. FY 23 net loss was $(60.1) million, a year-over-year improvement of $30.1 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $6.9 million expected for the quarter, an increase of 338% compared to $1.6 million in Q4 22. FY 23 adjusted EBITDA of $21.0 million nearly doubled from 2022 and exceeded guidance of $19.7 million.
• Operating cash flow of $(10.6) million expected for the quarter, compared to $(9.9) million in Q4 22. FY 23 operating cash flow was $(24.0) million versus FY 22's $(10.6) million. This lower cash flow was primarily driven by a higher interest payment of $5.7 million (mainly due to conversion from PIK to cash interest), a change in net working capital of $6.3 million, and payments related to the LBF divestiture of $7.7 million. Adjusting for these, Operating Cash Flow would have improved from 2022's level by $6.3 million.

It is expected that the integration of Mondee's AI capabilities with Purplegrids will not only expand the AI travel platform but also speed up our roadmap to bring AI to more, and ultimately all, aspects of Mondee's business.

• Share Repurchase and Preferred Financing: During Q4 2023, the company raised $11.3 million in preferred financing, $10 million of which was used in share buybacks as part of our inaugural share buyback program approved by our Board of Directors.

Non-GAAP Measurements:

In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP EPS, EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted Net Loss per share.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP as they have been adjusted to exclude the effects of stock-based compensation expenses, provision for income taxes, and the impacts of depreciation and amortization, and one-time expenses. Mondee defines adjusted EBITDA as net loss before depreciation and amortization, provision for income taxes, interest expense (net), other expense (net), stock-based compensation, and gain on forgiveness of PPP loans. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is defined as net loss before the impacts of amortization of intangibles, provision for income taxes, stock-based compensation, and one-time items. Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) per share is defined as non-GAAP net income (loss) on a per share basis. See "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a discussion of the applicable weighted-average shares outstanding.

Mondee believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and other users of its financial information consistency and comparability with its past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations. With respect to adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net loss/income, Mondee believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company's profitability relative to the amount of revenue generated, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense and other one-time and/or non-cash expenses. Mondee also believes non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating its operating performance compared to that of other companies in its industry, as these metrics eliminate the effects of stock-based compensation, which may vary for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

Mondee uses these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with traditional GAAP measures as part of its overall assessment of the Company's performance, including the preparation of its annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, and to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies. Mondee's definition may differ from the definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish this or similar metrics. Thus, Mondee's non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, nor superior to or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

These non-GAAP financial measures may be limited in their usefulness because they do not present the full economic effect of Mondee's use of stock-based compensation. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing investors and other users of its financial information a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely related GAAP financial measures. However, Mondee has not reconciled the non-GAAP guidance measures disclosed under "Financial Outlook" to their corresponding GAAP measures because certain reconciling items such as stock-based compensation and the corresponding provision for income taxes depend on factors such as the stock price at the time of award of future grants and thus cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, reconciliations to the non-GAAP guidance measures are not available without unreasonable effort. Mondee encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view non-GAAP net loss/ income and non-GAAP net loss/ income per share in conjunction with net loss and net loss per share.

Operating Metrics:

This press release also includes certain operating metrics that we believe are useful in providing additional information in assessing the overall performance of Mondee's business.

Transactions are defined as the number of travel reservations that were processed on Mondee's platform during the period. A single transaction could include an airline ticket, a hotel or hospitality accommodation, and any number of ancillaries offered on the platform. Gross bookings are defined as the total dollar value, generally inclusive of taxes and fees, of all travel reservations through our platform between a third-party seller or service provider and the traveler, net of cancellations. Take rate is defined as revenues as a percentage of gross bookings. Mondee generates revenue from service fees earned on these transactions and, accordingly its revenue increases or decreases based on the increase or decrease in either or both the number or value of transactions Mondee processes. Revenue will increase as a result of the expansion in Mondee's distribution platform and/or as a result of an increase in service fees from higher value services offered on the platform.
