WAVD - WaveDancer Releases Second Quarter 2022 Results

FAIRFAX, Va., Aug. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WaveDancer (NASDAQ: WAVD), reported its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, which was characterized by continued investment in its software development team and strategic efforts focused on maintaining and growing profitability in the Company’s professional services work. The Company recognized significant revenues after achieving substantial project milestones on their key United States government contract to bring a blockchain-enabled supply chain and logistics platform into full production.

WaveDancer CEO Jamie Benoit commented, “The various investments we have made in WaveDancer are helping establish a strong foundation for growth. Our revenue has increased 44% from first quarter levels, while our gross profit has increased by 147%, in part due to the significant revenue recognized by our United States Government contracts. As we drive aggressively toward Authority to Operate our supply chain platform with our government customer, we are simultaneously readying our Maverix product for the broader commercial markets.”

Mr. Benoit continued, “Our focus on higher margin professional service opportunities, which resulted in our second quarter gross margin expanding to 30.9%, will continue in following quarters and establish a strong foundation upon which we can continue with our long-term strategic transformation into a leading technology company. I am optimistic, based on the strong interest we are hearing from customers, that our blockchain offering meets a large demand in the marketplace and am likewise optimistic about acquisition opportunities that will be immediately accretive.”

WaveDancer CFO Tim Hannon added, “The increase in expenses this quarter, in comparison to last year, was driven in part by one-time professional fees and other costs to conduct due diligence related to our intended acquisition of Knowmadics. The dramatic change in market sentiment during the first half of 2022 that made closing the transaction impossible was unfortunate, but ultimately in the best interests of our shareholders. Our strategic focus on profitability and investment in product development will ultimately allow us to emerge stronger and better positioned for the massive growth we expect in the blockchain and zero trust sector.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In assessing the performance of our business, management utilizes a variety of financial and performance measures. The key measure is Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization expense, net interest expense (income), and taxes, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of, when applicable, expenses that are unusual or non-recurring that we believe do not reflect our core operating results. and non-cash stock-based compensation. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is meaningful to our investors to enhance their understanding of our financial performance for the current period and our ability to generate cash flows from operations that are available for taxes, capital expenditures and debt service. We understand that Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial performance and to compare our performance with the performance of other companies that report Adjusted EBITDA. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, however, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. When assessing our operating performance, investors and others should not consider this data in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP. Further, the results presented by Adjusted EBITDA cannot be achieved without incurring the costs that the measure excludes. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, the most comparable GAAP measure, is provided below.
