Financial Outlook

As of February 17, 2022, GTY is providing guidance for its first quarter and full year 2022 as follows:

First Quarter 2022 Guidance: Total Non-GAAP revenue is expected to be in the range of $15.0 million to $15.5 million or approximately 14% year-over-year growth. Non-GAAP loss from operations is expected to be in the range of $(3.0) to $(3.5) million.
Full Year 2022 Guidance: Total Non-GAAP revenue is expected to be in the range of $71.0 million to $74.0 million or approximately 19% year-over-year growth. Non-GAAP loss from operations is expected to be in the range of $(12.0) to $(15.0) million. Total ARR is expected to be in the range of $63.0 million to $66.0 million or approximately 26% year- over-year growth.
Operating Cash Flow Guidance: Operating cash flows for Q122 are expected to be negative, similar to Q121. For the full year 2022 we also expect cash flows from operations to be negative as a result of continued investments to support growth. For the full year, we expect cash outflows from operations will be similar in total to 2021.

"We see a number of tailwinds in our market which are driving improvements in our sales pipelines. As a result, we will continue to invest in go-to-market and product development in 2022.", said John Curran, CFO of GTY, "The sales investments will require time to ramp to full productivity and we expect further improvement in productivity in the second half of the year. Our anticipated acceleration in ARR growth will be the leading indicator of the success of these initiatives."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, GTY has provided in this release certain financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP defined as "non-GAAP financial measures," which include (i) non-GAAP revenues, (ii) non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin, (iii) and non-GAAP loss from operations.

GTY's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to the corresponding GAAP measures, in evaluating GTY's ongoing operational performance and trends. However, it is important to note that particular items GTY excludes from, or includes in, its non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the items excluded from, or included in, similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies in the same industry. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to such GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables included as part of this press release.

Non-GAAP Revenues. Non-GAAP revenues are defined as GAAP revenues adjusted for the impact of purchase accounting resulting from GTY's business combination which reduced its acquired contract liabilities to fair value. The company believes that presenting non-GAAP revenues is useful to investors as it eliminates the impact of the purchase accounting adjustments to revenues to allow for a direct comparison between periods.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin. Non-GAAP gross profit is defined as GAAP gross profit adjusted for the impact of purchase accounting resulting GTY's business combination and share-based compensation. Non-GAAP gross margin is defined as non-GAAP gross profit divided by non-GAAP revenues. The company believes that presenting non-GAAP gross profit and margin is useful to investors as it eliminates the impact of the purchase accounting adjustments to allow for a direct comparison between periods.

Non-GAAP Loss From Operations. Non-GAAP loss from operations is defined as GAAP loss from operations adjusted for the impact of purchase accounting to revenues resulting from GTY's business combination, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, share-based compensation, acquisition related costs, goodwill impairment expense, restructuring expenses and the change in fair value of contingent consideration. The company believes that presenting non-GAAP loss from operations is useful to investors as it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash and acquisition related expenses to allow a direct comparison of loss from operations between periods.

Non-GAAP Net Loss. Non-GAAP net loss is defined as GAAP net loss adjusted for the impact of purchase accounting to revenues resulting from GTY's business combination, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, share-based compensation, acquisition related costs, goodwill impairment expense, restructuring expenses, the change in fair value of contingent consideration and the change in fair value of warrant liability. The company believes that presenting non-GAAP loss from operations is useful to investors as it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash and acquisition related expenses to allow a direct comparison of loss from operations between periods.

Operating Metrics

We define the number of customers as the number of accounts with a unique account identifier for which we have an active contract in the period indicated. New customers are those that have signed a new contract with a GTY entity in the period.

We define ARR as the annualized revenue run-rate of subscription, maintenance or transaction-based agreements from all customers at a point in time. For transaction based CityBase contracts we use the following calculation: For large projects (greater than $10 thousand per month) with 12 months or more of history we use the trailing 12 months of history. For large projects with less than 12 months of history, we calculate an annualized value based on the history available. For small projects (less than $10 thousand per month) we annualize the most recent month's activity.

Average ARR per customer is calculated by dividing total ARR at the end of the period by the number of customers at the end of the period.
