Revenue Increases 7% and Adjusted EBITDA Increases 22% Year-Over-Year
Pivotal Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: PVT) (“Pivotal”), a special purpose acquisition corporation, announced 2019 first quarter results of KLDiscovery (“KLD” or the “Company”), one of the leading electronic discovery (“eDiscovery”) and data recovery services providers. KLD achieved revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 of $75.0 million, an increase of 7% over revenue of $70.2 million for the first quarter of 2018. Gross profit increased to $37.6 million, an increase of $7.7 million, or 26%, over gross profit of $29.9 million for the first quarter of 2018. Net loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $13.5 million, an improvement of 25% over the net loss of $18.0 million for the first quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA (which excludes acquisition, financing and transaction costs, stock-based compensation and other items as described below) for the first quarter of 2019 was $15.1 million, an increase of 22% compared to adjusted EBITDA of $12.4 million for the first quarter of 2018.
“We are pleased with our revenue and strong earnings growth for the first quarter of 2019 and expect this operating momentum to continue through 2019,” said Chris Weiler, Chief Executive Officer of KLD.
2019 Outlook
Pivotal also reports that KLD’s outlook on revenue of $310 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $75 million for the full-year 2019 as set forth in the investor presentation related to the merger with KLDiscovery filed on May 21, 2019 remains unchanged. This guidance is subject to the risks and uncertainties described in the “Forward Looking Statements” below.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
Pivotal has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4, including a proxy statement/prospectus, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to be used in connection with its meeting of stockholders to approve the proposed transaction with KLD. The proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to stockholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the proposed business combination. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF PIVOTAL ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement/prospectus and other documents containing important information about Pivotal and KLD once such documents are filed with the SEC, through the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. Copies of the documents filed with the SEC by Pivotal when and if available, can be obtained free of charge on Pivotal’s website at www.pivotalac.com or by directing a written request to Pivotal Acquisition Corp., c/o Graubard Miller, The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10174.
Participants in the Solicitation
Pivotal and KLD and their respective directors and executive officers, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of Pivotal’s stockholders in connection with the proposed transaction. Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names and interests in the proposed transaction of Pivotal’s directors and officers in Pivotal’s filings with the SEC, including Pivotal’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, which was filed with the SEC on April 1, 2019. Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies to Pivotal’s stockholders in connection with the proposed business combination will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus.
No Offer or Solicitation
This communication shall neither constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
KLD prepares audited financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). KLD also discloses and discusses non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted EBITDA. KLD believes that these measures are relevant and provide useful information to investors by providing a baseline for evaluation and comparing its operating performance against that of other companies in KLD’s industry.
The non-GAAP financial measures that KLD uses may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Also, in the future, KLD may disclose different non-GAAP financial measures in order to help its investors meaningfully evaluate and compare its results of operations to its previously reported results of operations or to those of other companies in KLD’s industry. KLD also believes the use of non-GAAP financial measures reflects its ongoing operating performance because the isolation of non-cash charges, such as amortization and depreciation, and other items, such as interest, income taxes, management fees and equity compensation, acquisition and transaction costs, restructuring costs, systems establishment, and costs associated with strategic initiatives which are incurred outside the ordinary course of business, and provide information about KLD’s cost structure, that helps track its operating progress. In addition, KLD urges investors and potential investors to carefully review the GAAP financial information and compare with its adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA:
KLD views adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure and as such, it believes that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net loss. In calculating adjusted EBITDA, KLD excludes from net loss certain items that it believes are not reflective of KLD’s ongoing business and exclusion of these items allows KLD to provide additional analysis of the financial components of the day-to-day operation of its business. KLD has outlined below the type and scope of these exclusions.
Presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that KLD’s future results will be unaffected by any of the adjusted items, or that its projections and estimates will be realized in their entirety or at all. In addition, because of these limitations, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or discretionary cash available to KLD to fund cash needs, including investing in the growth of our business and meeting its obligations. You should compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on the GAAP results and only use adjusted EBITDA for supplementary analysis.
The use of adjusted EBITDA instead of GAAP measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the company’s results of operations and operating cash flows as reported under GAAP. For example, adjusted EBITDA does not reflect:
