Management Commentary

“The third quarter marked another successful period for ShotSpotter, highlighted by 28% year-over-year revenue growth and solid adjusted EBITDA generation,” said ShotSpotter CEO Ralph Clark. “Our robust growth trajectory is being driven by continued traction securing new wins, expanding deployments, and retaining customers. During the quarter, we went live with three new Respond cities, expanded in seven cities, and booked two new campus customers, demonstrating the effectiveness of our strategic growth initiatives. With our ongoing retention success, we expect that our revenue attrition this year will be less than 1%, which is significantly lower than our original forecast and serves as a powerful testament to the stickiness of our solutions and the value our technology provides to agencies tasked with preventing and responding to violent crime.

“We entered the fourth quarter with encouraging momentum and a strong pipeline across our Precision Policing Platform, including ShotSpotter Investigate, our new cloud-based case management software that empowers law enforcement agencies to investigate crime more efficiently and effectively. Our early traction with Investigate and the positive feedback from agencies validate our decision to further expand our platform’s capabilities to include broader investigative and case management use cases that grow our total addressable market. More broadly, our business is experiencing a robust funding environment driven by direct federal funding to cities through the $350 billion American Rescue Plan, a return to congressional earmarks and a public endorsement of gunshot detection from the current administration. This favorable backdrop coupled with our increasing cross-solution sales momentum gives us increased confidence in outlook for 2021 and growth prospects for 2022.”

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Revenues for the third quarter of 2021 increased 28% to $14.5 million from $11.4 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in revenues reflects an increase in new live miles and customer expansions as well as contribution from LEEDS, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2021 was $8.0 million (55% of revenues), compared to $6.4 million (57% of revenues) for the same period in 2020. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to the lower gross margin from LEEDS professional services, which is expected to improve during the next two quarters.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2021 were $8.9 million, compared to $5.8 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increased legal fees, personnel-related costs as well as incremental expenses associated with LEEDS.

Net loss totaled $949,000 or $(0.08) per basic and diluted share (based on 11.7 million basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding), compared to net income of $566,000, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share (based on 11.4 million basic and 11.7 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding), for the same period in 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $2.2 million, compared to $3.3 million in the same period last year.

Financial Outlook

The company reiterated its full year 2021 revenue guidance to $60 million to $61 million, representing 32% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the guidance range. With expected increases in legal and strategic communications costs, the company expects to incur a net loss for the year. For fiscal 2022, management currently expects revenues of $71.0 million to $73.0 million, representing an increase of between 17% and 21% compared to projected fiscal 2021 revenues at the midpoint of the 2021 guidance range.

The company’s financial outlook statements are based on current expectations. The preceding statements are forward-looking, and actual results could differ materially depending on market conditions and the factors set forth under “Safe Harbor Statement” below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net (loss) income: Adjusted net (loss) income, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents the company’s net income or loss before acquisition related expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents the company’s net income or loss before interest (income) expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and impairment, stock-based compensation expense and acquisition related expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure used by management internally to understand and evaluate the company’s core operating performance and trends across accounting periods and in connection with developing future operating plans, making strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and considering initiatives focused on cultivating new markets for our solutions. In particular, the exclusion of these expenses in calculating adjusted EBITDA facilitates comparisons of the company’s operating performance on a period-to-period basis.

ShotSpotter believes adjusted net (loss) income and adjusted EBITDA also provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. For example, ShotSpotter adjusts EBITDA for stock-based compensation expense and acquisition related expenses because such expenses often vary for reasons that are generally unrelated to financial and operational performance in any particular period. Stock-based compensation is utilized by ShotSpotter to attract and retain employees with a goal of long-term retention and the alignment of employee interests with those of the company and its stockholders, rather than to address operational performance for any particular period based financial performance measures, in particular net income or loss, and our other GAAP financial results.
