Greetings, and welcome to the Similarweb Q1 Fiscal 2022 Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. If anyone should require operator assistance during the conference, please press star then zero on your telephone keypad. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to your host, Raymond Jones, Vice President, Investor Relations. Please go ahead, sir. Thank you, operator. Welcome everyone to our First Quarter 2022 Earnings Conference Call. During this call, we will make forward-looking statements related to our business. These statements may include the expected performance of our business and our future financial results, our strategy, the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated global economic uncertainty, our anticipated long-term growth, and overall future prospects. These statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied during the call. Again, actual results and the timing of certain events may differ materially from projected results or the timing predicted or implied by such forward-looking statements. Further, reported results should not be considered as an indication of future performance. Please review our Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 25, 2022, in particular, the section entitled Risk Factors therein, for a discussion of the factors that could cause our actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements. Also note that the forward-looking statements made on this call are based on information available as of today's date, May 11, 2022. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements we make today, except as required by law. As a reminder, certain financial measures we use in presentations of results and on our call today are expressed on a non-GAAP basis. In particular, we reference non-GAAP operating loss, which represents GAAP operating loss, less share-based compensation, adjustments, and payments related to business accommodations, amortization of intangible assets, and certain other non-recurring items. We use this and other non-GAAP financial measures internally to facilitate analysis of our financial and business trends and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations, or outlook. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and are presented for supplemental informational purposes only. They should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between these GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures is included on our earnings press release, which can be found on our investor relations website at ir.similarweb.com. Today, we will begin with brief prepared remarks from our CEO, Or Offer, and our CFO, Jason Schwartz. We will open up the call to questions from sell-side analysts in attendance. Please note that we published a detailed discussion of our first quarter 2022 results in a letter to shareholders for investors to reference, as well as an updated investor presentation with a strategic overview of the business, both of which are available on our investor relations website. With that, I will turn the call over to Or Offer, CEO of Similarweb. Thank you, RJ, and also to everyone joining the call today. I'm happy to have you all here on our one-year anniversary of being a public company. We started 2022 strong and posted excellent results. Revenue grew 51% over Q1 last year and exceeded $44 million in the first quarter. Our customer base grew 27% year-over-year to nearly 3,700, and our average account spent nearly $50,000 with us annually. Furthermore, over 53% of our annual recurring revenue comes from customers who spend more than $100,000 per year with us. Those results excite us as we continue to see momentum building in our business. The one thing that I think we at Similarweb do better than anyone else is predict how the Internet behaves. In order to create this prediction of digital behavior or how traffic move on the digital world, we take vast amounts of digital signals generated from activity in the digital ecosystem and convert it into intelligence and market data. We process the data using advanced proprietary machine learning techniques to produce comprehensive and timely digital signals. The solution that we build on top of the data enhance the essential revenue-driven operations team of our customers, which includes sales, marketing, analytics, e-commerce, and are designed to directly benefit a wide range of users from the C-suite to operational teams. The refined data and actionable insight we provide our customers give them a competitive advantage to win their market. We see constantly how to innovate and improve our solution and our underlying data. This quarter, we made major investment and improvement in our mobile web and mobile app data sets across all marketing channels, which include referrals, keywords, and other traffic metrics. We are also enhancing our solution to leverage app data from data.ai, previously known as App Annie, which is the leader in app intelligent data, as well as shipping new feature releases that constantly make our product portfolio more valuable to our customers. Our go-to-market execution continued to be highly efficient globally. 54% of our revenue comes from outside of the United States in the first quarter. The expansion of our global customer base, consisting of SMB, enterprise, and strategic accounts looking to gain an edge in their markets, continue to gain momentum. Today, 35% of our relationships consist of multi-year contracts and metrics that continue to expand year- over- year since 2020. Our customers appreciate the strong value we offer, with nearly 80% of our customer base currently purchasing more than one solution from us. Before concluding, we would like to take a moment to recognize the contribution of our 65 team members in Ukraine, who continue to work when and where they can through an extraordinary situation. Our hearts are with you, and you are inspiring us all. Again, we are off to a great start in 2022, and we are only just beginning to unlock our potential within a multi-billion dollar market opportunity. Jason, I will turn the call over to you. Thank you, Or. Thank you to everyone joining us on the call today. For those of you who have been on our previous earnings calls, you will notice that we are conducting things differently. Based on investor feedback, we are prioritizing spending time on answering investor questions and reducing prepared remarks. As part of this shift, we published a shareholder letter, which discusses our results in detail as a supplemental part of our quarterly reporting. I will briefly cover a few clarifying topics now, then we will open up the call to questions. Our results in the first quarter continued to show our commitment to disciplined execution. Revenue reached $44.3 million for the quarter and exceeded our outlook of $41.5 million on the high end of our range. Importantly, our overall dollar-based net retention rate, or NRR, increased to 115% as compared to 103% in the first quarter of 2021. For our $100,000 ARR customer segment, NRR increased to 127% as compared to 115% in Q1 last year. Our go-to-market execution during the quarter was stellar, as our remaining performance obligations, or RPOs, increased 68% year-over-year to $159 million. Our plans for 2022 include increased investment in customer acquisition costs ahead of our historical payback period. We are executing in line with our plan to remain below 18 months on average, as indicators for returns remain consistent. As we exceeded our plans in revenue, we saw incremental gains flow through to our bottom line. Our non-GAAP operating loss was $19.8 million, which was less than the $20.5 million loss on the low end of our guidance range. This result includes non-comparable expense impacts from our acquisition. Importantly, we achieved an estimated 32% incremental non-GAAP operating profit margin from the midpoints of the ranges. Turning now to Q2 2022. We expect total revenue in the range of $45.5 million-$45.9 million. For the full year, we are raising guidance and expect total revenue in the range of $196 million-$197 million, representing 43% growth year-over-year at the midpoint of the range. non-GAAP operating loss for the second quarter is expected to be in the range of -$23 million to -$23.5 million dollars, and for the full year, between -$82 million and -$83 million dollars. Compared to last year, our outlook includes impacts to cost of goods sold related to our data.ai partnership and to the acquisition of Embee Mobile. We anticipate non-GAAP gross margin will be approximately 73%-74% in Q2 2022, and 75%-76% for fiscal year 2022 as a result of these impacts. Our first quarter 2022 results indicate we are starting on track to reach our three-year target of $450 million-$500 million in ARR and positive free cash flow as we exit 2024. With that, Or and I are happy to take your questions. Yes, thank you. As mentioned, at this time we will be conducting a question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star then one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate that your line is in the question queue. You may press star then two if you would like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the keys. One moment please while we poll for questions. Our first question today comes from Arjun Bhatia with William Blair. Perfect. Thank you very much, and congrats on a great Q1, guys. I want to start with the net retention rate. Obviously a lot of strength there. That metric continues to improve as upsell and cross-sell takes hold. I'm curious if you can just dig into maybe the underlying drivers a little bit. Is it more seats, more data consumption, cross-sell that's driving that? I know you did mention 80% of customers are using multiple products, but let's just get an unpacking of that metric and how high you think that can go, if there's continued momentum there, as the year progresses here. Hi. Or speaking. Thank you for the question. If I had to think out of my head about the different methods that contribute to the growth, I think all of them have a nice contribution. Some of them is the cross-selling of introducing new products like the shopper or our sales solution to our customer. Some of it is more about data consumption. Some of the users were also able to upsell our API product, and then it grow with the consumption. Also we have great success with the metered approach that is adding more users or other upsell capabilities that each one of the lines of business have. I think we will continue to have a great momentum on that. We're getting better, and we continue to innovate in bringing more new solution and improving our own products so our customers are happy and buying more. Very helpful, Or. Thanks. Then one of my, I'll follow if I can on the App Annie or the data.ai partnership rather. Can you just give us a sense for any updates on the development of that solution on the mobile side? Are we still set to launch by Q2? We'd love to hear if there's any, you know, early customer commentary since the partnership was announced in terms of reception or potential deployments. Yeah. So we also excited about this partnership. The team here is working really hard. As we quoted before, it will be a launch and introducing to the market in the next few weeks. The team is very excited about it. I think it's unlocked a lot of opportunities for us in specific region and, you know, in region where app is more dominant, like Southeast Asia and those areas when we have customers and in different verticals that are more dependent on the app ecosystem. We're gonna introduce this and of course, I think it will have also a nice contribution to the up-sell, cross-sell motion as well. Perfect. Thank you very much, and congrats again, guys. Thank you. The next question comes from Ryan MacWilliams with Barclays. Thanks for taking my question. Just wanted to say I appreciated the shareholder letter on your website. That was definitely helpful when looking through the quarter. Jason, just on the full year guide and also just from this most recent quarter, was there any impact from FX or anything we should think about as we move through this year? Not materially for us. You know, most of our contracts, and by the way, Ryan, good to hear from you, and thanks for the feedback. Most of our contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars. While there often is, you know, somebody will buy in euro or otherwise, but it wasn't a material impact this quarter. Appreciate that. Look, sounds like RPO growth accelerated and there's some strength in that retention in your business. You know, while you guys may have seen, you know, any impact from like macro headwinds at this point, how do you think about your exposure to, you know, the potential for a worsening macro environment? You know, how do you think your customers would maybe interact more or interact less with Similarweb under those circumstances? Thanks. Hey, what's up? It's a good question. From what we saw historically, even when COVID happened and there was a lot of uncertainties in the market, what we discovered back then, and I can also think what will happen if the world will go into this uncertainty time, the need for market data is growing because companies in that stage need more context about where they stand. If the uncertainty is hurting them more than others, they all go and replanning their strategy, and they need market data for that. I hope that the engagement will increase. I hope it answers your question. That helps for sure. Appreciate the color. Love this format. Thanks, guys. Thanks, Ryan. Thank you. Thank you. The next question comes from Jason Helfstein with Oppenheimer. Hey. I'll ask two questions. One, you know, if we do start to see slowing corporate spending, we're obviously seeing companies talking about kind of pausing and slowing headcount already. What's the seasonality on account renewals? And then just kind of when you would start to see that if you had clients taking longer to, you know, sign up, renew, et cetera, or, you know, how that would play into your typical cycle of upselling new products with each renewal. Second, obviously the market is increasingly focused on, you know, cash flow and visibility to cash flow. You guys put in a letter that you expected to get to, you know, positive free cash exiting 2024. I mean, you know, any discussion about accelerating that? You know, any commentary on that. Thank you. Thank you, Jason. Good to hear from you. Regarding the sales cycle, as we wrote at 35% of the deals we have are multi-year. You know, so big chunk of the book of business, especially the big contracts, are already locked in for multiple years. I think that the other accounts that are smaller, even if the big companies, you know, are still our average contract is around $50,000. I think that it's not a significant amount when it would cause companies to try to optimize it as the core product is not that expensive. This is around what I think there. I'm not sure we're gonna feel any slowdown there. Where n ow maybe it's too early to know. Regarding the cash flow question, so we do look at the market dynamics and we did communicate our path to profitability in 2024, and we're working hard into that direction. I think that also internally we did look how we can be more efficient. We understand the market dynamic and the tone of voice coming. We do now put a lot of emphasis about disciplined execution. You know, making sure that we not spend money where places we don't do. We have great momentum. Just continue to do what we do, and continue to deliver and be more efficient as we do that. We are seeing that and executing. All right. Thank you. The next question comes from Brent Thill with Jefferies. Jason, just on the economic environment, I guess when you think about raising guidance into the face of a stiffening macro headwind, are you assuming in the guide a lower -close- rate on what you're seeing in the pipe? Are you assuming the same conversion rates as you go into the back half of the year? Meaning, is your pipeline that good and you're taking close rates down and you still can raise guide or are you keeping the same methodology in place based on what you see right now? Yeah. Hey, Brent. Good to chat. You know, like Or said, we've got a very disciplined approach to execution and how we forecast. We've got great visibility into our pipeline and also have great visibility into our backlog. Having all of that backlog and being a really ARR business, not just a monthly month-to-month contract that are multiplied by 12, gives us that confidence into being able to give the guidance that we do. We're obviously looking at the numbers, looking at the pipeline and looking at the conversion rates that we had in the first part of the year, and in current quarters and using that as we guide, you know, to give guidance that we know we can meet. Okay, great. Just a quick follow-up, Jason, on the multi-product adoption by customers. Can you just give us a sense of the average number of adopted products versus past levels and what you're seeing on there and maybe add on what's happening with Shopper Intelligence? Sure. As we said in the prepared remarks, nearly 80% of the customers today purchase more than one solution. Oftentimes that starts with both the Digital Research Intelligence and the Digital Marketing Intelligence, because those two go hand in hand. We see more and more customers that are now getting onto a third solution as well. Depending on the business that they're in, if they're in a transactional like a retail or a CPG business, the add-on that they do afterwards is Shopper Intelligence. If they're more of a B2B or a publisher business, the thing that they add on thereafter is really the Sales Solutions. We see that trend and that customer journey going from one to two and two to three happening. Just a mix of which product sets or solutions that we're looking for vary depending on the industry that the customer is in. Thank you. Thank you. The next question comes from Tyler Radke with Citi. Great. Thanks so much for taking the question. I wanted to unpack the improvement in net retention rate that, I think you saw both in the 100,000 customers as well as the overall customers. What's the primary driver of that? Is it more on the gross retention side or is it just the cross-sell and uptake of some of the new products? How are you thinking about the sustainability of that improvement as you think about the rest of the year? I think that the improvements come in many angles. First, also logo retention is improving very well, and cross-sell and upsell is improving. Customers are happier. Product gets improved. We are doing much better job on the relationship and working with our customer. We put a lot of emphasis in the past year and a half and really grew a top-notch customer success organization, customer services. We hire a lot of great consultants that work with our customer, helping them, you know, working on the system, get the insight, get the ROI. All of those efforts we put, I think almost two years ago, are really starting to bear fruit now. I think this is the majority now. Jason, you have any more thoughts around that? Yeah, Or, I think you hit on that really well 'cause you have to, it's obviously both sides, Tyler, both from the gross retention as well as the upsell which drives the net. I think Or, you mentioned is that more and more our customers are able to see and measure the ROI, and that I, you know, I think it's a good mention of the Forrester report that was available on our site that we mentioned in the press release, that suddenly we're able to have not only the Sales Solution which we had previously had, you know, good metrics on the ROI, but also now on the Digital Research Intelligence and Digital Marketing Intelligence Solutions, and that's over 600% ROI for the customers that Forrester interviewed. I think it's a good metric for folks to look at that quantifiable ROI that drives that growth for our customers and ultimately drives that net retention that we're delivering in the results that we showed today. Jason, are you expecting that net retention could continue to improve from here, or is this kind of, you know, a peak just as you think about what's embedded in the guide? You know, we don't guide on NRR. We think we're very proud of the achievements and we think that this is something that we've worked hard on. The results you're seeing in the numbers today, remember, is the results of all the investment that we've done over the last 12-18 months because NRR is really a 12-month look back number. That has to do with that disciplined execution that we've been talking about internally and sharing with you because recognizing the need to not only land but go from land to retain and retain to expand, that's the model that we've been executing. Great. Then I just wanted to follow up on Brent's question about close rates. It sounds like you're saying that you have very good pipeline visibility, and so you're not really making any material changes in your close rate assumptions. I just wanted to clarify that that's what you meant. Then secondly, if you could just kinda characterize how you've seen the macro environment and business environment evolve through April and May, if it's better or worse than what you saw in March. Thank you. Sure. We're seeing, you know, activity continue in line with what we saw previously. Again, we're conscious of the macro headwinds. We've taken that into account in the guidance that we put together. Again, it's just the way we've been operating for a long time, and we're, you know, very humbled by the results that we're able to deliver and report to you now and the up guide that we did. That said, you know, when we think about, I think Or mentioned, when we think about the macro environment, we look back at what happened, you know, over the last two and a half years. When you think about the start of COVID, I think we all, and here internally, we were not yet a public company. We were concerned about what that would do to pipeline and how that would impact spending and adoption of Similarweb. I think the takeaway that we learned from the results and from our conversations with customers is that they need Similarweb as much, if not more, in tough times than in good times. Because in good times you wanna drive your growth and the Digital intelligence that Similarweb provides enables decision-makers and operators to make smarter business operating decisions. In tough times, we see the macro trends today, it's even more important to be able to optimize and know where you should be investing and where you should be optimizing, where you should be focused on in order to deliver the business growth that you're looking for, and where are there the opportunities to take advantage, or to steal market from your competitor, or to identify which markets you maybe should reduce your investment in. We've seen that happen over the last two years, and I think that that's something that we hear from customers today, as they're thinking about how to leverage Similarweb as they plan their, you know, the remainder of 2022 budgets and going into 2023 in today's macro environment. Thank you. Thank you. Once again, please press star one, if you'd like to ask a question. Again, star then one will allow you to speak. Our next question comes from Patrick Walravens with JMP. Oh, great. Thank you. Let me add my congratulations on two quarters in a row of 50% plus growth, and Or, let me add my thoughts, prayers and well wishes for your team in Ukraine. Jason, can we just talk more about the cash and the burn? You have $120 million in cash and no debt, right? Your operating loss this quarter was $20 million, but you only burned $4 million, so that's great. How much should we expect you to burn, you know, through the rest of this year? Was this quarter really unusual because of collections or something like that? Hey, Pat. Should I maybe take a step back on that and just talk about how cash flow works in Similarweb in general? There is some seasonality to the renewal cycles that we have. Those typically have higher renewal cycles in Q4 and beginning of Q1. You see that cash flow come in heavily in Q1 and Q2. Because we typically invoice our customers a year in advance upfront, so you've got higher cash collections in the first part of the year than in the back end of the year. This is something that we do account for, and we think that's, you know, that is something that you've seen. We've shown in the past or performed that way if you've looked back over the last couple of years as well. Having said that, we will be burning less than overall on an operating basis, less than $50 million this year. Including, obviously, the burn that we had for this quarter. We're talking more than enough. From the cash on the balance sheet today, we have $125 million plus the additional $75 million credit facility. We look at our available cash as being over $200 million. We think that's more than enough to take us all the way through to the cash flow profitability that we guided to and are reaffirming today. Yeah, it sounds like it's more than enough. You know, and I heard Or's comments about we're looking for efficiency, but I mean, here at Tel Aviv, as you know, when you look at all the startups that are starting to, you know, just say, okay, we're gonna grow less fast and we're gonna conserve our cash. I mean, do you guys think about that? How do you what do you do to pros and cons burn rate and maybe slowing down? We don't think we should slow down, but we shouldn't speed up. This is a different approach. Like, because we're seeing a huge TAM in front of us. You know, as I like to say, we're always just getting started, and we're seeing a huge market to capture. Our technology and offering is very unique. In a different world and different environment, maybe we would even accelerate our growth. As we're seeing the macroeconomics, and as I said, the tone of voice, we think that we need to continue to execute the same as we are doing now. Jason, maybe you have anything to add? Maybe I'd just add, Or, is that, you know, when you look at, Pat, if you look at the payback periods that we shared again both in the shareholder letter and in the investor presentation, you know, we're tracking now on a 15-16-month payback on a gross profit basis for customer acquisition. Now, on the flip side, when you look at that second year, that net retention rate, we've got about a 45%-50% contribution margin. Just to clarify that, what that is, that's gross margin minus the cost, the sales and marketing resources, the customer success that we have in order to retain and expand those customers. That's providing a 45%-50% contribution margin when you look back over the trailing four quarters. This, the model itself, is highly efficient, and we're focused on that. If you look back, as we came to market in the IPO a year ago, we had taken the company to a cash flow break-even business, and slightly profitable on the cash flow side. We're growing at 32%. As Or said, we see the massive TAM ahead of us. We know that the model itself is efficient. We've got that disciplined execution that we've been doing for a number of years in order to deliver that cash flow profitability in 2024 on $450 million-$500 million of ARR. Great. Thank you. Thank you. The next question is a follow-up from Ryan MacWilliams of Barclays. Back again. Thanks, guys, taking the question. Or, I know last quarter you talked about the desire to further your market leading position in alternative data intelligence. You know, with building off Patrick's question, some of the challenges that, you know, some startups or late stage companies are seeing, like, are you tempted to be the market consolidator or add additional functionalities as we go through this year? Maybe pick up some teams or products that might take longer to develop. It's a great question. We are still inspired to be the leading player in what we call the alternative data ecosystem. I think it's like a new market that is now rising in the public investor ecosystem, and we already have really great momentum. This quarter we plan to launch a new platform dedicated for the investor solution. It's gonna be a platform that you will be able to query stocks, not websites like we have in our apps, like we have in our core products. This platform would enable us to integrate much faster, more different data sources that help investors get signals about performance, like credit card data or receipt data or many other alternative data that is out there that help get visibility. I hope that once we're gonna launch and start rolling out this platform, it will enable us to buy and integrate companies faster, and then we can be even more bullish on acquisition and consolidation in this market. Stay tuned. We put a big bet on this quarter. Appreciate that color. Jason, just on the gross margin side, great to hear about the rebound and step up plans the second half. Can you just walk through, like, some of the components of how you're getting more leverage on, the gross margin line? Is it just more usage of, the Embee Mobile product? Just more color there would be helpful. Thanks. Yes. Both the Embee Mobile as well as the, what will be the data.ai, license agreement that, you know, starts, hitting cost of sales this quarter are fixed costs. Much like our other parts of data acquisition or our data assets that we build out, those are fixed costs that service the same number of customers, whether that's 50 or 500 or 5,000 customers. As more and more we increase the number of customers and increase the revenue per customer and therefore the overall ARR and revenue for the company, we're able to leverage that fixed cost more. That's the historical trend that we saw previously that took a gross margin from 54% in 2018 to 71%- 77%- 78% over the three years thereafter through last year. Like we mentioned last quarter, the Embee and the then announced data.ai partnership were gonna be short-term hit as we integrated those costs into our data edge. But once that starts delivering and attracting more and more customer and revenue, you'll see that amortize and leverage to drive additional gross margin. Excellent. Appreciate the color. Thanks, guys. Thanks. Thank you. That concludes both the question and answer session as well as the event itself. Thank you so much for dialing in. You may now disconnect your lines. Thank you.
