“I’m incredibly proud of the team’s progress and our performance
in Q1, most notably beating the upper end of guidance on top-line
revenue and adjusted EBITDA and showing strong free cash flow,”
said Brian Krzanich, CEO, Cerence AI. “We believe we have solid
momentum for 2025: we’ve made significant progress on our
generative AI roadmap, achieving critical development milestones
for our next-gen agentic, conversational AI platform. We have
continued momentum with our automaker customers, including six
design wins and two wins for our generative AI solutions, as well
as six major customer SOPs and two generative AI SOPs within the
quarter. In addition, our transformation and cost reduction
initiatives are having a solid impact on the business. As we look
to the future, we believe we are well positioned to continue on our
path to long-term, sustainable growth and profitability.”

Securities and Exchange Commission. We disclaim any obligation to

occurring after the date of this document.
Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresWe
believe that providing the non-GAAP information in addition to the
GAAP presentation, allows investors to view the financial results
in the way management views the operating results. We further
believe that providing this information allows investors to not
only better understand our financial performance, but more
importantly, to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and
information used by management to evaluate and measure such
performance. The non-GAAP information should not be considered
superior to, or a substitute for, financial statements prepared in
accordance with GAAP.
We utilize a number of different financial measures, both GAAP
and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of
the business, for making operating decisions and for forecasting
and planning for future periods. While our management uses these
non-GAAP financial measures as a tool to enhance their
understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance, our
management does not consider these measures to be a substitute for,
or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial
statements.
Consistent with this approach, we believe that disclosing
non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of our financial
statements provides such readers with useful supplemental data
that, while not a substitute for GAAP financial statements, allows
for greater transparency in the review of our financial and
operational performance. In assessing the overall health of the
business during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023,
our management has either included or excluded the following items
in general categories, each of which is described below.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income
attributable to Cerence Inc. before net income (loss) attributable
to income tax (benefit) expense, other income (expense) items, net,
depreciation and amortization expense, and excluding amortization
of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and
restructuring and other costs, net or impairment charges related to
fixed and intangible assets and gains or losses on the sale of
long-lived assets, if any. From time to time we may exclude from
Adjusted EBITDA the impact of events, gains, losses or other
charges (such as significant legal settlements) that affect the
period-to-period comparability of our operating performance. Other
income (expense) items, net include interest expense, interest
income, and other income (expense), net (as stated in our Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Operations). Our management and Board of
Directors use this financial measure to evaluate our operating
performance. It is also a significant performance measure in our
annual incentive compensation programs.
Restructuring and other costs, net.Restructuring and other
costs, net include restructuring expenses as well as other charges
that are unusual in nature, are the result of unplanned events, and
arise outside the ordinary course of our business such as employee
severance costs, consulting costs relating to our transformation
initiatives, and costs for consolidating duplicate facilities.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets. We exclude the
amortization of acquired intangible assets from non-GAAP expense
and income measures. These amounts are inconsistent in amount and
frequency and are significantly impacted by the timing and size of
acquisitions. Providing a supplemental measure which excludes these
charges allows management and investors to evaluate results “as-if”
the acquired intangible assets had been developed internally rather
than acquired and, therefore, provides a supplemental measure of
performance in which our acquired intellectual property is treated
in a comparable manner to our internally developed intellectual
property. Although we exclude amortization of acquired intangible
assets from our non-GAAP expenses, we believe that it is important
for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute
to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that
relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such
intangible assets have been fully amortized. Future acquisitions
may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets.
Non-cash expenses.We provide non-GAAP information relative to
the following non-cash expenses: (i) stock-based compensation; and
(ii) non-cash interest. These items are further discussed as
follows:
i) |
Stock-based compensation. Because of varying valuation
methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award
types, we exclude stock-based compensation from our operating
results. We evaluate performance both with and without these
measures because compensation expense related to stock-based
compensation is typically non-cash and awards granted are
influenced by the Company’s stock price and other factors such as
volatility that are beyond our control. The expense related to
stock-based awards is generally not controllable in the short-term
and can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of
awards granted. As such, we do not include such charges in
operating plans. Stock-based compensation will continue in future
periods. |
ii) |
Non-cash interest. We exclude non-cash interest because we believe
that excluding this expense provides management, as well as other
users of the financial statements, with a valuable perspective on
the cash-based performance and health of the business, including
the current near-term projected liquidity. Non-cash interest
expense will continue in future periods. |
|
|
Other expenses.We exclude certain other expenses that result
from unplanned events outside the ordinary course of continuing
operations, in order to measure operating performance and current
and future liquidity both with and without these expenses. By
providing this information, we believe management and the users of
the financial statements are better able to understand the
financial results of what we consider to be our organic, continuing
operations. Included in these expenses are items such as other
charges (credits), net, (gains) losses from extinguishment of debt,
and changes in indemnification assets corresponding with the
release of pre-spin liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
Adjustments to income tax provision.Adjustments to our GAAP
income tax provision to arrive at non-GAAP net income is determined
based on our non-GAAP pre-tax income. Additionally, as our non-GAAP
profitability is higher based on the non-GAAP adjustments, we
adjust the GAAP tax provision to remove valuation allowances and
related effects based on the higher level of reported non-GAAP
profitability. We also exclude from our non-GAAP tax provision
certain discrete tax items as they occur.
Key Performance IndicatorsWe believe that
providing key performance indicators (“KPIs”) allows investors to
gain insight into the way management views the performance of the
business. We further believe that providing KPIs allows investors
to better understand information used by management to evaluate and
measure such performance. KPIs should not be considered superior
to, or a substitute for, operating results prepared in accordance
with GAAP. In assessing the performance of the business during the
three months ended December 31, 2024, our management has reviewed
the following KPIs, each of which is described below:
- Percent of worldwide auto production with Cerence Technology:
The number of Cerence enabled cars shipped as compared to IHS
Markit car production data.
- Change in number of Cerence connected cars shipped: The
year-over-year change in the number of cars shipped with Cerence
connected solutions. Amounts calculated on a TTM basis.
- Change in Adjusted total billings YoY (TTM): The year over year
change in total billings excluding Professional Services, prepay
billings and adjusted for prepay consumption.
