Avalara Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2020 Financial Results

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Avalara, Inc. (NYSE: AVLR), a leading provider of tax compliance automation for businesses of all sizes, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

“In the fourth quarter, year-over-year revenue growth was 35{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3} and year-over-year calculated billings growth was 38{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3}, capping off an outstanding finish to our fiscal year 2020. For the full year, we delivered half a billion in revenue, up 31{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3} year-over-year as well as record operating cash flow and free cash flow,” said Scott McFarlane, Avalara co-founder and chief executive officer. “Our results demonstrate the adaptability and resilience of our business model during challenging times. As we look ahead to 2021, the generational shifts to omnichannel commerce and cloud-based solutions, a growing emphasis on efficiency through automation, and an increasingly complex regulatory environment remain ongoing tailwinds for our business. We believe we are still in the early days of penetrating a huge addressable market to automate global tax compliance and build the category-defining, global cloud compliance platform.”

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2020 Operating Highlights

  • Key Metrics: We ended the fourth quarter of 2020 with approximately 14,890 core customers, up from approximately 14,180 core customers at the end of the previous quarter and approximately 12,150 in the fourth quarter of 2019, representing a 23{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3} increase year-over-year. Our net revenue retention rate was 104{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3} in the fourth quarter of 2020 and has averaged 107{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3} over the last four quarters.
  • We acquired Transaction Tax Resources, Inc. (TTR) to enhance our enterprise capabilities and create the leading content database in tax. TTR will continue to serve its customers with trusted solutions while integrating key products and content into Avalara’s automation tools.
  • We acquired the operational assets of Business Licenses, LLC. Business Licenses provides software and services for the research, acquisition, and management of business licenses, registrations, and permits for businesses of all sizes. By acquiring the assets of Business Licenses, we expand our platform to include a corresponding compliance solution beyond tax. Our customers are required to obtain and maintain sales tax registrations in the jurisdictions where they have tax nexus, and building upon the existing partnership with Business Licenses, we will now be able to support these additional licensing requirements. Adding licensing allows us to better help businesses of every size manage and reduce regulatory complexity.
  • We acquired Impendulo Limited, a London-based provider of insurance tax compliance solutions. Impendulo gives us access to the global insurance premium tax compliance business, a new market that we believe could benefit from automation technology.
  • We entered into a definitive agreement to acquire INPOSIA Solutions GmbH, a German software company focused on e-invoicing, digital tax reporting, and business and data integration to address real-time compliance requirements for companies worldwide. The transaction is subject to satisfaction of closing conditions and is expected to close in the first half of 2021. With INPOSIA, we can further expand our European footprint and add e-invoicing compliance capabilities.

Recent and Fourth Quarter Product Highlights

  • We announced the availability of Avalara AvaTax Advanced Transaction Rules (ATR). ATR allows businesses to create, modify, and apply business and taxability rules that can be used before and after a tax calculation occurs. With ATR, businesses can define and align tax content decisions with enterprise resource planning, ecommerce, and other billing systems at the business process and transaction level.
  • In January 2021, we announced the availability of Avalara Managed Returns for Accountants (MRA), a cloud sales tax returns solution designed exclusively for accounting firms. MRA enables firms to extend their practice with automated sales tax preparation and filing services, provide clients with the benefits of a fully managed returns service, and add efficiency while focusing on other high-value services.

Financial Outlook

For the first quarter of 2021 the Company currently expects:

  • Total revenue between $142.0 and $144.0 million.
  • Non-GAAP operating loss between $10.0 and $12.0 million.

For the full year 2021, the Company currently expects:

  • Total revenue between $628.0 and $633.0 million.
  • Non-GAAP operating loss between $18.0 and $22.0 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we have disclosed non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, non-GAAP general and administrative expense, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP basic net income (loss) per share, non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share, free cash flow, and calculated billings, which are all non-GAAP financial measures. We have provided tabular reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure at the end of this release.

  • We calculate non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, and non-GAAP general and administrative expense as GAAP cost of revenue, GAAP research and development expense, GAAP sales and marketing expense, and GAAP general and administrative expense before stock-based compensation expense and the amortization of acquired intangible assets included in each of the expense categories.
  • We calculate non-GAAP gross profit as GAAP gross profit before stock-based compensation expense and the amortization of acquired intangibles included in cost of revenue. We calculate non-GAAP gross margin as GAAP gross margin before the impact of stock-based compensation expense and the amortization of acquired intangibles included in cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue.
  • We calculate non-GAAP operating income (loss) as GAAP operating loss before stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles, and goodwill impairments. We calculate non-GAAP net income (loss) as GAAP net loss before stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles, and goodwill impairments.
  • We calculate non-GAAP basic net income (loss) per share as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by basic weighted average shares outstanding.
  • We calculate non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding includes weighted average shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding common stock equivalents.
  • We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for the purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs.
  • We define calculated billings as total revenue plus the changes in deferred revenue and contract liabilities in the period, excluding the acquisition date impact of deferred revenue and contract liabilities assumed in a business combination. Because we recognize subscription revenue ratably over the subscription term, calculated billings can be used to measure our subscription sales activity for a particular period, to compare subscription sales activity across particular periods, and as a potential indicator of future subscription revenue, the actual timing of which will be affected by several factors, including subscription start date and duration.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, and to evaluate financial performance and liquidity. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results, prospects, and liquidity period-over-period without the impact of certain items that do not directly correlate to our performance and that may vary significantly from period to period for reasons unrelated to our operating performance, as well as when comparing our financial results to those of other companies.

The company has not reconciled its expectations of non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures primarily because stock-based compensation expense cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort.

Our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar metrics. Thus, our non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with the related GAAP financial measure.

Definitions of Key Business Metrics

We also use the key business metrics of core customers and net revenue retention rate.

Core Customers

We believe core customers is a key indicator of our market penetration, growth, and potential future revenue. We use core customers as a metric to focus our customer count reporting on our primary target market segment. We define a core customer as:

  • a unique account identifier in our primary U.S. billing systems (multiple companies or divisions within a single consolidated enterprise that each have a separate unique account identifier are each treated as separate customers);
  • that is active as of the measurement date; and
  • for which we have recognized, as of the measurement date, greater than $3,000 in total revenue during the previous twelve months.

Currently, our core customer count includes only customers with unique account identifiers in our primary U.S. billing systems and does not include customers that subscribe to our solutions through our international subsidiaries and certain legacy and acquired billing systems that have not yet been integrated into our primary U.S. billing systems (e.g., recent acquisitions and our lodging tax compliance solution). As we increase our international operations and sales in future periods, we may add customers billed from our international subsidiaries to the core customer metric.

We also have a substantial number of customers of various sizes that do not meet the revenue threshold to be considered a core customer. Many of these customers are in the emerging and small business segment of the marketplace, which represents strategic value and a growth opportunity for us. Customers who do not meet the revenue threshold to be considered a core customer provide us with market share and awareness, and we anticipate that some may grow into core customers. In addition, we have numerous enterprise-level customers that only utilize our services for small segments of their business, providing opportunities over time for us to extend our relationship and make them core customers.

Net Revenue Retention Rate

We believe that our net revenue retention rate provides insight into our ability to retain and grow revenue from our customers, as well as their potential long-term value to us. We also believe it reflects the stability of our revenue base, which is one of our core competitive strengths. We calculate our net revenue retention rate by dividing (a) total revenue in the current quarter from any billing accounts that generated revenue during the corresponding quarter of the prior year by (b) total revenue in such corresponding quarter from those same billing accounts. This calculation includes changes during the period for such billing accounts, such as additional solutions purchased, changes in pricing and transaction volume, and terminations, but does not reflect revenue for new billing accounts added during the one-year period.

Currently, our net revenue retention rate includes only customers with unique account identifiers in our primary U.S. billing systems and does not include customers who subscribe to our solutions through our international subsidiaries or certain legacy and acquired billing systems that have not been integrated into our primary U.S. billing systems. Our Streamlined Sales Tax solution (SST) is not included in net revenue retention rate. This means that revenue expansion from existing customers adopting our SST solution is not included, while revenue contraction from customers replacing one or more of Avalara’s other solutions with SST is included.

(1) Non-GAAP diluted net income per share for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020 was calculated using the diluted share count which includes approximately 4.5 million and 4.4 million dilutive shares, respectively, related to employee stock options and stock-based awards. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2019, all common stock equivalents have been excluded from the diluted share count as their effect is antidilutive.

UNAUDITED CORRECTED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

During the fourth quarter of 2020, we discovered an immaterial error in the presentation and classification of funds held from customers in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for each of the first three quarters of 2020 and for each of the four quarters and year ended December 31, 2019. The error was related to the classification and presentation of changes in funds held from customers, which are considered restricted cash equivalents. Previously, we presented the change in funds held from customers as a separate caption within Investing Activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. To correct this error, amounts previously reported as investing activities for the changes in funds held from customers are reported as restricted cash equivalents. In the tables below, we have presented our Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as previously reported and as corrected for each of the first three quarters of 2020, each of the four quarters of 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2019.
