Jack Abuhoff, CEO, said, “Today, we’re pleased to announce fourth quarter revenue growth of 26%, a strong finish to a transformational year in which we have seen increasing momentum from new customer wins and significant customer expansions.

 

“In 2021 overall, we grew revenues 20%. In 2022, we are targeting an acceleration of revenue growth to 30%. Achieving this goal is subject to the various risks and uncertainties that we refer to in our filings with the SEC. That said, we believe we are seeing solid business momentum and market traction across our markets, including financial services, manufacturing, retail, robotics, and technology.

 

“Some of our recent wins include:

·An extension of business with a leading social media platform. We are cautiously optimistic that revenue from this company could approach $10 to $15 million in 2022. With another top social media company, we signed a subscription for our media intelligence platforms and solutions.
·One of the largest, Fortune 50 semiconductor manufacturers selected us to build fully-trained deep-learning AI models for automated retail and manufacturing solutions. This is an example of end-to-end AI services, from synthetic data creation to model training and model management.
·An expansion of business with two of the world’s top 5 tech companies supporting core engineering teams in developing AI document classifiers for one company and AI data annotation services for content moderation, intelligent document understanding, and computer vision for the other company.
·Providing synthetic data services to two of the world’s largest Robotic Process Automation (RPA) companies.
·Google has authorized Innodata as a Build and Services Partner within its Partner Advantage Program. We have been asked to specifically focus on Google’s 5G/Edge computing initiatives to help Google’s customers accelerate end-to-end AI software and solution development powered by Google’s Cloud Vertex AI products.”

 

Abuhoff continued, “Based on data received from market conversations with customer prospects, we estimate that three of the above-mentioned companies spend in the aggregate approximately $2 billion annually on AI-enablement services, solutions, and platforms of the type that we now provide or intend to provide later this year.

 

“To capture this substantial market opportunity, we are increasing our sales and marketing and new product creation budget from $14.5MM in 2021 to approximately $27.5MM in 2022. We believe there will be significant value creation for shareholders from these investments. While these investments will result in a use of some of our cash in 2022, our cash burn is expected to peak in the first quarter of 2022 and decline as our revenue grows in the subsequent quarters. Based upon current expectations, we are budgeting to be cash flow positive by the end of 2022, with significant increases in cash flow expected thereafter. With $19 million of cash and no debt, we expect to fund these investments from our internal resources.”

 

Abuhoff concluded, “Leveraging trends seen in 2021, we are budgeting a 30% increase in year-over-year revenues in 2022, an acceleration from the 20% growth we achieved in 2021. Longer term, our business plan calls for approximately $200 million in revenues and approximately 30% EBITDA margins by 2025.”
