IRVING, Texas, Nov. 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exela Technologies, Inc. (“Exela” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: XELA), a location-agnostic global business process automation (“BPA”) leader across numerous industries, announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted everyone to some degree, including Exela and our customers. While some uncertainty related to the pandemic still remains, we continue to execute well against our plan for value creation in this current environment. Our sequential margin expansion, improving cash flow and rising liquidity in the third quarter is further evidence of our progress,” said Ronald Cogburn, Chief Executive Officer of Exela.
Third Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights
- Revenue: Revenue for the third quarter of 2020 was $305.3 million, a decline of 18.3% from $373.5 million in the third quarter of 2019.
- Revenue for the Information and Transaction Processing Solutions segment was $234.4 million, a decline of 19.9% year-over-year, primarily due to reduced customer volumes as a result of COVID-19, as well as the exit of contracts and statements of work from certain customers with revenue that the Company believes are unpredictable, non-recurring, and were not a strategic fit to its long-term success or unlikely to achieve long-term target margins (“transition revenue”).
- Healthcare Solutions revenue was $54.2 million, a decrease of 12.8% year-over-year, driven by reduced volumes as a result of COVID-19. Healthcare solutions revenue increased 10.2% from $49.2 million in the second quarter of 2020, driven by increased volumes.
- Legal and Loss Prevention Services revenue was $16.7 million, a decline of 11.2% year-over-year primarily due to a decline in legal claims administration services.
- Revenue excluding pass through revenues from postage and postage handling with either zero or nominal margins (“pass through revenue”) (4) was $254.4 million in the third quarter of 2020, representing a decrease of 17.9% from $309.9 million in the third quarter of 2019. Revenue excluding pass through revenue increased 0.8% sequentially from $252.5 million in the second quarter of 2020.
- 82% of third quarter 2020 revenue was earned in the Americas, 17% in EMEA and 2% in rest of world.
- Operating income / (loss): Operating income for the third quarter of 2020 was $4.8 million, compared with operating loss of $93.9 million in the third quarter of 2019. The year-over-year increase in operating income was attributable to gross margin improvements of 237 basis points driven by realigning capacity and costs to reflect changes in customer volumes, lower SG&A expense due to cost containment and lower depreciation and amortization expense in the third quarter of 2020. Additionally, there was no impairment of goodwill and other intangible asset costs in the third quarter of 2020 compared with $97.2 million in the third quarter of 2019.
- Net Loss: Net Loss for the third quarter of 2020 was $28.3 million, compared with a net loss of $131.3 million in the third quarter of 2019.
- Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2020 was $48.7 million, a decrease of 19.6% from $60.5 million in the third quarter of 2019, and an increase of 13.0% from $43.1 million in the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the third quarter of 2020 was 16.0%, consistent with 16.2% in third quarter of 2019 and up 200 basis points from 14.0% in second quarter of 2020. The sequential improvement in third quarter 2020 Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects flow through of the Company’s ongoing cost containment initiatives.
Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.1%, based on revenue excluding pass through revenue, in the third quarter of 2020, an increase from 17.1% compared to second quarter of 2020 on flat revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin was at 19.5% for the third quarter of 2019.
- Capital Expenditures: Capital expenditures for the third quarter of 2020 were 0.6% of revenue compared to 0.7% of revenue in the third quarter of 2019.
- Common Stock: As of September 30, 2020, there were 147,511,430 total shares of common stock outstanding and an additional 4,109,949 shares of common stock reserved for issuance for our outstanding preferred shares on an as-converted basis.
- Total employees as of September 30, 2020 were 21,000 as compared to 21,073 as of June 30, 2020.

Debt Reduction and Liquidity Improvement
On November 12, 2019, Exela announced that its Board of Directors adopted a debt reduction and liquidity improvement initiative (“Initiative”), with the goal of increasing the Company’s liquidity to approximately $125.0 to $150.0 million, and repaying debt with a target debt reduction of approximately $150.0 to $200.0 million. In accordance with this Initiative, Exela has announced three transactions year-to-date 2020.
- On January 15, 2020, Exela announced that the Company entered into a 5-year, $160.0 million accounts receivable securitization facility to improve liquidity. The facility is for an initial five-year term, may be extended in accordance with its terms, and is incremental to Exela’s existing $100.0 million revolving facility maturing in July 2022.
- On March 17, 2020, Exela announced the sale of its Tax Benefit Group (“TBG”) business for $40.0 million, or approximately 1.93x 2019 revenue. Net of closing costs and adjustments, this transaction resulted in proceeds of $38.2 million. For full year 2019, TBG generated total revenue of $20.7 million.
- On July 23, 2020, Exela announced the sale of its physical records storage and logistics business for $12.3 million. The assets involved in the business generated approximately $1.0 million of EBITDA in 2019.
- The Company believes it is on schedule for additional divestitures with expected proceeds in the range of $100.0 million to $150.0 million in the aggregate.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Revenue Outlook

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures: This press release includes constant currency, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, each of which is a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Exela believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial performance, results of operations and liquidity and allows investors to better understand the trends in our business and to better understand and compare our results. Exela’s board of directors and management use constant currency, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to assess Exela’s financial performance, because it allows them to compare Exela’s operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of Exela’s capital structure (such as varying levels of debt and interest expense, as well as transaction costs resulting from the combination of Quinpario Acquisition Corp. 2, SourceHOV Holdings, Inc. and Novitex Holdings, Inc. on July 12, 2017 (the “Novitex Business Combination”) and capital markets-based activities). Adjusted EBITDA also seeks to remove the effects of integration and related costs to achieve the savings, any expected reduction in operating expenses due to the Novitex Business Combination, asset base (such as depreciation and amortization) and other similar non-routine items outside the control of our management team. Optimization and restructuring expenses and merger adjustments are primarily related to the implementation of strategic actions and initiatives related to the Novitex Business Combination. All of these costs are variable and dependent upon the nature of the actions being implemented and can vary significantly driven by business needs. Accordingly, due to that significant variability, we exclude these charges since we do not believe they truly reflect our past, current or future operating performance. The constant currency presentation excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We calculate constant currency revenue and Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the exchange rates from the corresponding prior-period and compare these adjusted amounts to our corresponding prior period reported results. Exela does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to liquidity or financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. A limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Exela’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures and therefore the basis of presentation for these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are not required to be uniformly applied, are not audited and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Net loss is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to the non-GAAP measures presented here. For reconciliation of the comparable GAAP measures to these non-GAAP financial measures, see the schedules attached to this release.
Restatement: As described in additional detail in the Explanatory Note to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 9, 2020 (the “Annual Report”), the Company restated its audited consolidated financial statements in the for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and its unaudited quarterly results for the first three fiscal quarters in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and each fiscal quarter in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 in the Annual Report. Previously filed annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the periods affected by the restatement have not been amended. See Note 20, Unaudited Quarterly Financial Data, of the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report for the impact of these adjustments on each of the quarterly periods in fiscal 2018 and for the first three quarters of fiscal 2019. All amounts in this release affected by the restatement adjustments reflect such amounts as restated.

Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “may”, “should”, “would”, “plan”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, “seem”, “seek”, “continue”, “future”, “will”, “expect”, “outlook” or other similar words, phrases or expressions.
