“In the first quarter Kaleyra achieved significant year over year revenue growth and successfully managed through another challenging period as the COVID pandemic re-surged in Italy and India, leading to renewed lockdowns and temporarily lower volumes. The team has executed well and I am pleased with our position heading in the second half of 2021 with new product and business offerings coming from the strong human capital investments in R&D to strengthen the omni-channel platform” commented Dario Calogero, Kaleyra’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “We are very excited to announce today our special stockholder meeting to approve the mGage transaction on May 27, 2021, towards a closing of the transaction which we expect to take place on June 1, 2021, and we look forward to welcoming mGage, its customers, and the entire team to the Kaleyra family. Kaleyra and mGage together will be uniting two world-class enterprise cloud communications companies to create a top-5 global CPaaS platform with a diversified and balanced product portfolio and geographical representation and that will accelerate Kaleyra’s opportunity to serve the large and growing CPaaS market.”

First Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights

 

   

Revenue: Total revenue for the first quarter of 2021 was $39.7 million, an 18% increase when compared to $33.6 million in the first quarter of 2020.

 

   

Gross Profit: Gross profit for the first quarter of 2021 was $6.3 million, a 34% increase when compared to $4.7 million for the first quarter of 2020, the largest year-over-year gross profit increase as a public company. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2021 was 16% versus 14% in the first quarter of 2020.

Net Loss: Net loss for the first quarter of 2021 was $(10.4) million, or $(0.34) per share, based on 30.4 million weighted-average shares outstanding, predominantly due to one-time expenses pertaining to the mGage acquisition and non-cash RSU expenses. During the first quarter of 2020, net loss was $(8.8) million, or $(0.44) per share, based on 20.0 million weighted-average shares outstanding.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA loss was $(1.1) million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to a loss $(0.3) million for the first quarter of 2020. Kaleyra continues to strongly invest in human capital, and in particular in R&D talent, enhancing the head count growth year over year to strengthen the omni-channel platform, and continuous investment in the global sales operations.

Recent Business Highlights

 

   

Kaleyra delivered 7.0 billion billable messages, a 2% increase from the year ago period, and connected 1.2 billion voice calls, up 55% from the year ago period.

 

   

Kaleyra announced an agreement with Visa to enhance digital payments in Latin America and the Caribbean. As part of the agreement, k-lab, the innovation lab of Kaleyra, will be creating communication solutions for Visa partners and solving digital communication issues that exist across the industry today.

 

   

Kaleyra announced an agreement to acquire mobile messaging solution provider mGage for $215 Million. mGage, a Vivial company, is a best-of-breed mobile messaging solution allowing enterprise clients across a diverse range of end-markets to effectively engage with their customers through all mobile channels for a variety of use cases. The combination will create a top-5 global CPaaS platform with strong positions in the Americas, Europe and APAC. mGage’s offering is very complementary and synergic to Kaleyra’s and this combination will accelerate the financials of the company, doubling the revenue, and enhancing the company’s gross margin and profitability profile. Additionally, this combination with expand Kaleyra’s opportunity to serve the CPaaS market which is expected to reach $26 billion in 2025 with a compounded annual growth rate of 35% and the consolidated A2P Enterprise messaging market which is expected to reach $78 billion in 2022.

 

   

Upon the closing of the merger with mGage, Kaleyra will have strategic capital issuances of new securities that have been valued at $325 million, consisting of $200 million of aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured convertible notes due 2026 and $125 million of gross proceeds from the issuance of Kaleyra common stock in a Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE) transaction.

 

   

Kaleyra executed a new strategic partnership with WebEngage, India’s leading marketing automation services provider for B2C businesses, to combine Kaleyra’s global cloud communication services with WebEngage’s world-class marketing automation and customer data platform capabilities.

Financial Outlook

Kaleyra’s outlook takes into consideration that the Company’s largest markets, Italy and India, will require a continued monitoring of the outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also reflects the pure organic growth of Kaleyra and does not take into consideration the mGage acquisition.

As of May 10, 2021, Kaleyra is providing guidance for its second quarter and full year 2021 as follows:

 

   

Second Quarter 2021 Guidance: Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $40.0 - $41.0 million, absent an accelerated wave of COVID-19 cases and shutdowns.

 

   

Full Year 2021 Guidance: Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $183 – $185 million, confirming the previously communicated guidance.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER INVESTOR PRESENTATION This communication is for informational purposes only. The information contained herein does not purport to be all-inclusive and includes information that has been prepared to assist parties in making their own evaluation with respect to the proposed acquisition (the “acquisition”) of mGage LLC (“mGage”) by Kaleyra, Inc (“Kaleyra” or the “Company”). The data contained herein is derived from various internal and external sources. No representation is made as to the reasonableness of the assumptions made within or the accuracy or completeness of any projections, modelling or back-testing or any other information contained herein. Any data on past performance, modelling or back-testing contained herein is no indication as to future performance. Kaleyra assumes no obligation to update the information in this communication. This presentation is not an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell Kaleyra securities. Without the express prior written consent of mGage and Kaleyra, this communication and any information contained within it may not be (i) reproduced (in whole or in part), (ii) copied at any time, (iii) used for any purpose other than your evaluation of mGage and the potential business combination or (iv) provided to any other person, except your employees and advisors with a need to know who are advised of the confidentiality of the information. This communication supersedes and replaces all previous oral or written communications between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, plans, prospects or strategies regarding the future business plans of Kaleyra’s management team and the Company’s financial results. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are based on certain assumptions of Kaleyra’s management in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and their potential effects on Kaleyra as well as other factors Kaleyra’s management believes are appropriate in the circumstances. There can be no assurance that future developments aïecting Kaleyra will be those anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of Kaleyra) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially diïerent from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions being made prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Kaleyra undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Certain industry and market data information in this presentation is based on the estimates of Kaleyra’s management. Kaleyra’s management obtained the industry, market and competitive position data used throughout this presentation from internal estimates and research as well as from industry publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. Kaleyra’s management believes these estimates to be accurate as of the date of this presentation. However, this information may prove to be inaccurate because of the method by which management obtained some of the data for its estimates or because this information cannot always be verified due to the limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE AND RELATED INFORMATION This presentation includes reference to Adjusted EBITDA, a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as of any date of calculation, the consolidated pro forma earnings of Kaleyra and its subsidiaries, before finance income and finance cost (including bank charges), tax, depreciation and amortization calculated from the unaudited consolidated financial statements of such party and its subsidiaries, plus (i) transaction expenses, (ii) without duplication of clause (i), severance or change of control payments, (iii) any expenses related to company restructuring, (iv) the Adjusted EBITDA for pre-acquisition period of subsidiaries, (v) any compensation expenses relating to stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock or similar equity interests as may be issued by Kaleyra or any of its subsidiaries to its or their employees and (vi) any provision for the write down of assets. The pre-2019 pro forma earnings of Kaleyra, which is an Italian company, and its subsidiaries, which include subsidiaries outside of the U.S., may not be prepared in conformance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Kaleyra’s management believes that this non-GAAP measure of Kaleyra’s financial results will provide useful information to investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Kaleyra’s anticipated financial condition and results of operations. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Kaleyra’s anticipated business. Certain of the financial metrics in this presentation can be found in Kaleyra’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the “SEC” on March 16, 2021, and in Kaleyra’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 that will be filed with the “SEC” no later than May 10, 2021, and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA can be found on slide 26 of this presentation. IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND WHERE TO FIND IT In connection with the Acquisition, Kaleyra has filed a registration statement on Form S-4, including a proxy statement/prospectus (the “Registration Statement”), with the SEC, which will include a preliminary proxy statement to be distributed to holders of Kaleyra’s common stock in connection with Kaleyra’s solicitation of proxies for the vote by Kaleyra’s stockholders with respect to the Acquisition and other matters as described in the Registration Statement. After the Registration Statement has been declared effective, Kaleyra will mail a definitive proxy statement/prospectus, when available, to its stockholders and mGage’s stockholders. Investors and security holders and other interested parties are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus, and any amendments thereto and any other documents filed with the SEC when they become available, carefully and in their entirety because they contain important information about Kaleyra, mGage and the Acquisition.

Any offering of securities or solicitation of votes regarding the proposed transaction will be made only by means of a proxy statement/prospectus that complies with applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act or in a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

QUARTERLY ADJUSTED EBITDA RECONCILIATION The following table shows the reconciliation of the unaudited Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as reported in the investors presentation. The unaudited figures have been derived from financials prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The “Transaction and one-off costs” for Q1 2021 include $1.8M already incurred for mGage’s acquisition. Note: Management uses non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Management believes these measures provide useful information about the Company’s operating results and financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and might not be consistent with similar measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures shall not considered as an alternative to any other measures of performance prepared under generally accepted accounting principles. 26 Copyright © Kaleyra, Inc. 2021
