Zeta Announces First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

  • Delivered revenue of $158M, up 25% Y/Y in 1Q’23
  • Grew Scaled Customer count to 411, up 8 Q/Q and up 52 Y/Y or 14% growth Y/Y
  • Increased Super-Scaled Customer count by 7 Q/Q with ARPU up 18% Y/Y and revenue up 31% Y/Y
  • Expanded Scaled Customer ARPU 10% Y/Y, marking the 11th consecutive quarter of double-digit growth
  • Raising 2Q’23 & FY‘23 guidance and introducing new generative AI capabilities

Zeta Global (NYSE: ZETA), the AI-Powered Marketing Cloud, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

“Q1 was another proof point in our belief that the market is moving in Zeta’s direction,” said David A. Steinberg, Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Zeta. “The proliferation of Artificial Intelligence and data-driven insights, combined with the need to ‘do more with less,’ fits squarely within our sweet spot. In this volatile market, we continue to see organizations more willing to adopt new solutions from new partners in order to simplify their environment and drive better outcomes. This has resulted in our new Scaled Customer count growing twice as fast as our Zeta 2025 model.”

“We continue to execute through a challenging macro backdrop, delivering our seventh consecutive quarter of beat and raise execution,” said Chris Greiner, Zeta’s CFO. “There simply are not a lot of businesses with sustained 20% plus revenue growth and expanding Adjusted EBITDA margins in the technology universe today. We believe Zeta is being recognized as a platform that the largest and most complex enterprises rely on to grow their businesses profitably.”

First Quarter 2023 Highlights

  • Total revenue of $158 million, increased 25% Y/Y.
  • Scaled Customer count increased to 411 from 403 in 4Q’22 and 359 in 1Q’22.

  • Quarterly Scaled Customer ARPU of $374,000, increased 10% Y/Y.
  • Quarterly Super-Scaled Customer ARPU of $1.16 million, increased 18% Y/Y.
  • Direct platform revenue mix of 71% of total revenue, compared to 81% in 1Q’22.
  • Cost of revenue percentage of 34.5%, increased 140 basis points Y/Y, and decreased 320 basis points Q/Q.
  • GAAP net loss of $57 million, or 36% of revenue, driven primarily by $64 million of stock-based compensation. The net loss in 1Q’22 was $72 million, or 57% of revenue.

The Following Definitions Apply to the Terms Used Throughout this Release, the Supplemental Earnings Presentation and Investor Conference Call

  • Direct Platform and Integrated Platform: When the Company generates revenues entirely through the Company platform, the Company considers it direct platform revenue. When the Company generates revenue by leveraging its platform’s integration with third parties, it is considered integrated platform revenue.
  • Cost of revenue: Cost of revenue excludes depreciation and amortization and consists primarily of media and marketing costs and certain personnel costs. Media and marketing costs consist primarily of fees paid to third-party publishers, media owners or managers, and strategic partners that are directly related to a revenue-generating event. We pay these third-party publishers, media owners or managers and strategic partners on a revenue-share, a cost-per-lead, cost-per-click, or cost-per-thousand-impressions basis. Personnel costs included in cost of revenues include salaries, bonuses, commissions, stock-based compensation and employee benefit costs primarily related to individuals directly associated with providing services to our customers.
  • Scaled Customers: We define scaled customers as customers from which we generated at least $100,000 in revenue on a trailing twelve-month basis. We calculate the number of scaled customers at the end of each quarter and on an annual basis as the number of customers billed during each applicable period. We believe the scaled customers measure is both an important contributor to our revenue growth and an indicator to investors of our measurable success.
  • Super-Scaled Customers: We define super-scaled customers, which is a subset of Scaled Customers, as customers from which we generated at least $1,000,000 in revenue on a trailing twelve-month basis. We calculate the number of super-scaled customers at the end of each quarter and on an annual basis as the number of customers billed during each applicable period. We believe the super-scaled customers measure is both an important contributor to our revenue growth and an indicator to investors of our measurable success.
  • Scaled Customer ARPU: We calculate the scaled customer average revenue per user (“ARPU”) as revenue for the corresponding period divided by the average number of scaled customers during that period. We believe that scaled customer ARPU is useful for investors because it is an indicator of our ability to increase revenue and scale our business.
  • Super-Scaled Customer ARPU: We calculate the super-scaled customer average revenue per user (“ARPU”) as revenue for the corresponding period divided by the average number of super-scaled customers during that period. We believe that super-scaled customer ARPU is useful for investors because it is an indicator of our ability to increase revenue and scale our business.
  • Zeta 2025: The Zeta 2025 is a long-term plan introduced by the Company in 2022, intended to drive the Company’s vision to become one of the largest marketing clouds in the industry, with targets for business, product, and industry leadership. The financial targets of this plan are to generate in excess of $1 billion in annual revenue with at least 20% Adjusted EBITDA margins by 2025. In February 2023, we added an additional financial target to the plan of Free Cash Flow with a target of at least $110 million by 2025.

Non-GAAP Measures

In order to assist readers of our consolidated financial statements in understanding the core operating results that our management uses to evaluate the business and for financial planning purposes, we describe our non-GAAP measures below. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in evaluating our performance by providing an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our financial performance over multiple periods.

  • Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net loss adjusted for interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, income tax (benefit) / provision, acquisition related expenses, restructuring expenses, change in fair value of warrants and derivative liabilities, certain dispute settlement expenses, gain on extinguishment of debt, certain non-recurring IPO related expenses, including the payroll taxes related to vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units upon the completion of the IPO, and other expenses. Acquisition related expenses and restructuring expenses primarily consist of severance and other employee-related costs which we do not expect to incur in the future as acquisitions of businesses may distort the comparability of the results of operations. Change in fair value of warrants and derivative liabilities is a non-cash expense related to periodically recording “mark-to-market” changes in the valuation of derivatives and warrants. Other expenses consist of non-cash expenses such as changes in fair value of acquisition related liabilities, gains and losses on extinguishment of acquisition related liabilities, gains and losses on sales of assets and foreign exchange gains and losses. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of stock-based compensation, certain dispute settlement expenses and non-recurring IPO related expenses that are not related to our core operations provides measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business and provides additional insight into our core controllable costs. We exclude these charges because these expenses are not reflective of ongoing business and operating results.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by the total revenues for the same period.
  • Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as cash from operating activities, less capital expenditures and website and software development costs, adjusted for the effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Free Cash Flow provide us with useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business as well as comparison to our peers. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in analyzing our financial and operational performance. Nevertheless our use of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Free Cash Flow has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Other companies may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than us, thereby limiting the usefulness of these non-GAAP financial measures as a comparative tool. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider our non-GAAP measures only as supplemental to other GAAP-based financial performance measures, including revenues and net loss.

We calculate forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Free Cash Flow based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in forward-looking GAAP net income (loss). We do not attempt to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Free Cash Flow guidance and targets to forward looking GAAP net income (loss), GAAP net income (loss) margin or cash flows from operating activities, respectively, because forecasting the timing or amount of items that have not yet occurred and are out of our control is inherently uncertain and unavailable without unreasonable efforts. Further, we believe that such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of financial performance.
