Yoss Carmil, CEO:
Thank you, Anat.
We are very pleased with our performance in the second quarter and
the first half of 2021. The financial results reflect the strengths of our business, our ability to execute, and our go-forward strategy.
Our standing as a market leader in Digital Intelligence and our strong relationships with our wide customer base, position us well to
benefit from the digital transformation in the public safety sector. Driven by our differentiated end-to-end solutions we have had another
quarter of strong financial results including ARR growth of 46%, revenue growth of 29%, and ARR net dollar retention rate of 142%.
We believe that this strong top line performance demonstrates the success
of our go-to-market strategy in the public sector.
In the public sector, we have approximately 5,000 customers, including
almost every US cabinet executive department, European Union member state national police, and US state or large city police force. Our
dual Go to Market approach enables us focusing on both high potential growth strategic accounts and on a large number of prime accounts,
helping our accounts scale their investments with us.
We believe this approach has been instrumental in the strong momentum
we see in large and multi-solution deals, with 9 customers booking more than $1M with us in Q2 21, and 17 such customers in the first
half of the year.
Let me share with you a few success stories.
Our largest deal in the quarter was with a Scandinavian customer,
a long-time user of several of our Collect & Review solutions. In this deal, the customer expanded its use of our Premium
solution and placed a large order for our Premium Enterprise ahead of product availability. The Enterprise solution brings advanced
capabilities to end-points, which I will discuss in more detail shortly. The customer is deploying this solution across more than
a hundred Collect & Review units in the field, driven by a need to solve crime more efficiently given the challenges of
increasing case backlogs. Our flexible enterprise-grade solution allows the customer to
scale these advanced capabilities quickly.
A second example is a North American district attorney’s office
which is facing new legislation requiring evidence to be submitted within a limited time frame. This requires the customer to transform
its investigation practices and apply next generation tools and methods. This customer is partnering with Cellebrite to take its first
steps in adopting an end-to-end investigative process approach. They will rely on our DI platform, including Premium and Analytics solutions,
as critical elements in this transformation.
A third and last example is the largest win of our Private Sector business
so far. Included in this sale were several Collect & Review solutions as well as Commander, one of our management solutions. The customer,
a provider of digital forensics and analytics services to corporations, law firms, and government agencies, is rolling out dozens of new
branches and this deal supports this expansion. The deal reflects our success not only in cross-selling and up-selling multiple DI solutions
to our customers, but also in increasing the average revenue per private sector customer, which is one of our growth objectives for this
business.
In the second quarter, we experienced growth in all 3 geographic
regions, in both bookings and revenue, demonstrating that there is willingness to invest. Furthermore, it shows that the market is
at an inflection point, increasingly realizing that with the rapid growth in digital data volumes, growth in complexity and
importance, digital transformation in public safety is a necessity.
This environment provided us with many opportunities during the quarter
to discuss with our customers our comprehensive Digital Intelligence platform, that makes the investigative process smarter, faster and
efficient. We have enjoyed discussions about our digital transformation vision with key decision makers. Our impression is that the idea of a platform, that allows users to collect, review, analyze, and manage
digital data, and that will digitize in the future the entire investigative lifecycle, resonated well with these executives. Furthermore,
we believe that the discussions reinforce our position as not only a market-share leader but also as a thought leader.
In Q2 we introduced an important addition to our Digital
Intelligence platform, which I mentioned briefly earlier - Premium Enterprise. This solution brings industry leading mobile device
unlocking capabilities to every UFED, the most widely adopted Collect & Review solution, by connecting the UFEDs to a central
Premium Enterprise deployed in one secured domain. This enables the UFEDs to consume remotely the advanced capabilities of the
Premium license. Customer feedback on this solution is extremely positive, and we have already booked multiple meaningful deals in
advance of its availability. 8 such pre-bookings were made in H1. We are also building a strong pipeline ahead of the product
availability, expected later in Q3.
In May, we launched the latest version of Pathfinder, our flagship
investigative analytics solution. It now ingests data from a broader range of sources and provides enhanced capabilities for agencies
to collaborate between units and outside agency partners. Importantly, it can discover cross-case connections with the new ability to
highlight common identifiers between two or more cases to improve investigation workflows and insights.
We expect Investigative Analytics to grow at a fast rate and become
a material part of our business over the coming years.
Our Digital Intelligence platform is supported by Professional Services,
including training & advisory, technical advanced services, support, deployment, customization and integration. These services not
only help deliver our comprehensive offering but also improve customer experience and retention.
Cellebrite Training Academy delivers best-in-class training with certification
to thousands of investigation practitioners every year. In Q2 this year, we saw, as restrictions are easing, there’s a major
uptake in requests for instructor led training. Nevertheless, we continue to offer online training, live or on demand.
During the quarter, we enhanced our Professional Services with several
new offerings such as an advisory practice, an on-site advanced collection service, and managed services.
We view the professional services business activity as an important
touch point with our customers and important business enabler that promotes customer success.
In summary, we are pleased with our performance in the second
quarter and in the first half of the year, and we are committed to continue and execute on our growth strategy, focusing on
cross-selling and up-selling to our existing large and high-quality customer base.
We look forward to completing the pending merger with TWC Tech Holdings
II. As we announced earlier this week, the stockholder meeting to approve the merger is scheduled for Friday August 27th, we
expect to begin public trading shortly after. We are excited about the opportunity to become a publicly traded company and view it as
in important milestone. We look forward to engaging with you in a live earnings call discussing our next quarter’s
results.
With that, I will turn the call over to Dana to discuss the financials.
Dana Gerner, CFO:
Thank you, Yossi.
I’m pleased to present our results for the second quarter of
2021. Our financial metrics remain strong, with robust ARR growth, driven mainly by expanding penetration to existing customers. Our highly
successful land-and-expand go-to-market strategy is further illustrated by our 142% net retention rate.
This growth is even more impressive in the context of our strong profitability
and cash generative business model which I will discuss in more detail.
First, let’s look at ARR more closely. For the end of June 2021,
ARR was 159 million dollars, increasing 46% year on year. ARR includes 2 types of recurring revenues: the first is the subscription that
is attached to perpetual licenses, which is an annual payment for the software updates, and the second is term-based licenses, the selling
model which we’ve been introducing gradually since 2019.
The main drivers for ARR growth are the upsell and cross-sell of
additional modules and solutions to existing customers, rather than new logos. The majority of the 40% ARR growth that came from
upsell and cross-sell was generated by our Premium solution, where we introduced term license in late 2019, and enjoyed strong
acceptance and many new customers.
Moving to revenue. Total revenue of 59.2 million dollars, was up 29%
from Q2 last year. The main growth driver was Subscription revenue, which grew in total 33% year on year. Within subscriptions, the fastest
growth was in term licenses, which reached 11.6 million dollars, up 71% from Q2 last year. Term licenses growth reflects primarily our
Premium offering as I explained.
Perpetual licenses revenue of 10.4 million dollars decreased 1%
from Q2 last year as planned. We continue introducing subscription term-license in Q2 also to UFED and Pathfinder, so these results
do not yet reflect the transition impact of the full portfolio, and it is expected that future quarters will show stronger year on
year decline in perpetual licenses. Having said that, we expect gradual transition to subscription over the coming 2 to 3 years, due
to customer preferences in the public sector.
Professional services revenue of 7.3 million dollars grew 79% from
exceptionally low levels in Q2 last year. Much of our service revenue comes from instructor-led training classes, which were negatively
affected last year by social distancing and travel limitations relating to COVID-19.
Gross profit and margin in Q2 were 49.1 million dollars and 83%, compared
with 37.6 million dollars and 82% last year. The main reason for the margin expansion is leverage of the revenue growth and is in line
with our expectations.
Non-GAAP expenses increased 22% to 37 million dollars in
Q2. In Q2 last year, operating expenses of 30.2 million dollars were exceptionally low, given the COVID-19 impact on travel and marketing
events expenses, as well as a 10% payroll cut that we temporarily implemented across Cellebrite. In Q2 this year, we saw an increase in
travel and in marketing events, but spending is yet to reach normal levels. We expect a gradual increase in these expenses in the second
half of the year. We also expect to aggressively pursue our hiring plans, and end 2021 with approximately 900 employees, compared to 820
at the end of June 2021 and 758 at the end of December 2020. Even with these near-term costs coming back into the business, we believe
in our longer term margin profile as previously shared.
Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude one-time expenses, share-based
compensation, amortization of intangible assets, and acquisition related expenses.
Non-GAAP operating income and margin in Q2 2021 were 12.1 million dollars
and 20.5%, up from 7.3 million dollars and 16% in Q2 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA and margin in Q2 2021 were 13.4 million dollars and
22.6%, up from 8.4 million dollars and 18.4% in Q2 2020.
Operating cash flow in the second quarter of 2021 was 14.1 million
dollars, and in the twelve months ending June – 63.4 million dollars. Free cash flow for the twelve months ending June was 58 million
dollars.
We have had great results from our go to market strategy and we are
very pleased with this strong execution.
As mentioned, we experienced healthy spending environment in H1. As
such, we are very confident with meeting top line annual expectations, as previously shared.
As for profitability, given our strong performance in the first
half of the year, we continue to increase our operating expenses in the second half of the year and accelerate our recruitment plan,
yet we maintain our expectation for Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 15%, excluding expenses derived from becoming a public
company.
With that, we will conclude this webcast – thank you all for
listening.
