Brightcove Announces Financial Results for First Quarter Fiscal Year 2022

Brightcove Inc. (Nasdaq: BCOV), the global leader in video for business, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

“Brightcove’s 1st quarter results were highlighted by revenue and profitability that exceeded the high end of our guidance range. Customers continue to choose Brightcove due to the strength of our platform and our proven ability to deliver great video experiences reliably and securely for numerous use cases,” said Marc DeBevoise, Brightcove’s Chief Executive Officer.

DeBevoise added, “I have been impressed by what I have seen in my first few weeks as the new CEO of Brightcove. It’s clear that the streaming market is at an inflection point and we believe Brightcove is in a great position to be one of the primary winners in this market. I am confident that Brightcove can become a much larger, faster growing and profitable business in the years ahead as we capitalize on this market opportunity.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Brightcove has provided in this release the non-GAAP financial measures of non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share. Brightcove 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 Brightcove's ongoing operational performance. Brightcove 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 Brightcove’s industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. As noted, the non-GAAP financial results discussed above of non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, merger-related expenses, and other (benefit) expense. The non-GAAP financial results discussed above of adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income (loss), plus other income/expense, including interest expense and interest income, the provision for income taxes, depreciation expense, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, merger-related expenses, and other (benefit) expense. Merger-related expenses include fees incurred in connection with an acquisition. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and 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 previously mentioned, a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release. The Company’s earnings press releases containing such non-GAAP reconciliations can be found on the Investors section of the Company’s web site at http://www.brightcove.com.
