Using a New $75 million Term Loan Facility

BRIDGEWATER, NJ - August 6, 2024 - Synchronoss Technologies Inc. (“Synchronoss” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SNCR), a global leader and innovator in personal Cloud platforms, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter and Recent Operational Highlights
Reported total revenue of $43.5 million, driven primarily by 6.1% subscriber growth year-over-year.
Generated $78 thousand in net income, $4.3 million in income from operations, $7.6 million in free cash flow, and $13.0 million in adjusted EBITDA.
Repurchased all of the Company’s $60.8 million of outstanding Preferred Stock at a discounted price of $52.6 million and $19.7 million of Senior Notes at a discounted price of $16.5 million, using a $75 million new financing that lowers its total debt and cost of capital.
Partnered with Verizon to provide customers Unlimited Cloud Storage as part of their new myPlan and myHome Perks offers, deepening an already longstanding partnership with the wireless carrier.
Announced the appointment of Junji Nishihara as the new Country Manager for Japan. Japan has been a long-standing market of focus for the Company, and continues to represent a significant growth opportunity for our personal cloud platform.

Management Commentary
“We are pleased with our strong results for the quarter, including year-over-year growth in revenue, more than doubling our adjusted EBITDA, and an approximately $11 million increase in net income. Our strategic transformation into a focused, high margin, cloud-only business is complete, and yielding the improving free cash flow and profitability we expected,” stated Jeff Miller, President and CEO of Synchronoss. “Our opportunistic retirement of our preferred stock and a portion of our Senior Notes, both at a significant discount to face value, were the latest accomplishments of our planned strategic initiatives designed to streamline our business and bolster our balance sheet. We were able to lower our cost of capital, which will result in additional cash generation capabilities to provide greater operational flexibility. Continuing to execute on our strategic decisions, gives us confidence in our ability to consistently deliver top-line growth with improved profitability and free cash flow generation going forward.”

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results:
On October 31, 2023, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to divest its Messaging and NetworkX businesses. As such, unless otherwise noted, all financial metrics herein represent continuing operations, except for comparative purposes to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for full year 2023, which were presented for the whole company at the time.

Total revenue increased to $43.5 million from $41.0 million in the prior year period, driven primarily by 6.1% cloud subscriber growth.
Quarterly recurring revenue was 90.5% of total revenue, compared to 89.5% in the prior year period.
Gross profit increased 13.6% to $29.3 million (67.5% of total revenue) from $25.8 million (62.9% of total revenue) in the prior year period.
Adjusted Gross profit increased 12.1% to $33.7 million (77.5% of total revenue) from $30.0 million (73.2% of total revenue) in the prior year period.
Income (loss) from operations was $4.3 million, a significant improvement from a loss of $(5.1) million in the prior year period.
Net income (loss) was $78 thousand, or $0.01 per share, compared to $(11.0) million, or $(1.13) per share, in the prior year period. Net income from discontinued operations was $0.7 million, or $0.08 per share, in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP metric reconciled below) increased 115% to $13.0 million (29.9% of total revenue) from $6.1 million (14.4% of total revenue) in the prior year period.
Cash and cash equivalents were $23.6 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $19.1 million at March 31, 2024. In the second quarter of 2024, free cash flow was $7.6 million and adjusted free cash flow was $8.9 million, compared to $6.4 million and $9.6 million, respectively, in the prior year period. The Company did not receive additional U.S. federal tax refunds during the period, leaving its remaining balance due at approximately $28 million, which is expected to be received in the second half of 2024.

2024 Financial Outlook
The Company is revising two 2024 outlook items upwards to more accurately reflect current expectations:

The Company now expects adjusted Gross Margin of between 73%-77% (previously 70%-75%);
The Company now expects adjusted EBITDA of between $43 million and $46 million (previously $42 million to $45 million), which equals at least 25% adjusted EBITDA margin.

The Company is reiterating its other 2024 outlook items, including:

Revenue range of between $170 and $175 million, which equals a range of 5-8% growth year-over-year;
Recurring revenue of between 85-90% of total revenue;
Net cash flow of at least $10 million (including debt amortization).

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures." With respect to forward looking statements related to adjusted EBITDA, the Company has relied upon the exception in item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K and has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted adjusted EBITDA to forecasted GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Synchronoss or to forecasted GAAP income (loss) from operations, before taxes, within this earnings release because the Company is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to calculate certain reconciling items with confidence. These items include, but are not limited to, other income, other expense, (provision) benefit for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, gain (loss) on divestitures, net (loss) income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Synchronoss has provided in this release selected financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP although this non-GAAP financial information is derived from numbers that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes historical non-GAAP revenues, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Synchronoss, diluted non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, free cash flow, and adjusted free cash flow (which excludes cash payments and receipts related to non-core business activities). The Company believes that the exclusion of non-routine cash-settled expenses, such as litigation and remediation costs (net) and restructuring costs in the calculation of adjusted free cash flow which do not correlate to the operation of its business, provide for more useful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s results. Synchronoss uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating Synchronoss’ ongoing operational performance. Synchronoss believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing its financial results with other companies in Synchronoss’ industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. As noted, the non-GAAP financial results discussed above add back fair value stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs, restructuring, transition and cease-use lease expense, litigation, remediation and refiling costs and depreciation and amortization, interest income, interest expense, loss (gain) on divestitures, other (income) expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, and net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests, and preferred dividends.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as detailed above. Investors are encouraged to also review the Balance Sheet, Statement of Operations, and Statement of Cash Flow. As previously mentioned, a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.
