Mindbody Reports Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results
Company delivers 35% revenue growth over Q3 2015

San Luis Obispo, CA – October 26, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MINDBODY, Inc. (NASDAQ:MB), the leading provider of cloud-based business management software for the wellness services industry, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

“The third quarter marked another quarter of strong revenue growth and operating discipline,” said Rick Stollmeyer, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Mindbody. “We added 2,795 subscribers in the quarter and are now serving more than 58,500 subscribers worldwide. Additionally, we saw excellent growth in adoption and engagement across our platform and completed the acquisition of HealCode, one of our most successful technology partners.”

Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results

• Total revenue in the third quarter of 2016 was $35.3 million, a 35% increase year over year.
• Subscription and services revenue was $21.2 million, a 33% increase year over year.
• Payments revenue was $13.5 million, a 41% increase year over year.
• GAAP net loss in the third quarter of 2016 was $(5.9) million or $(0.15) per basic and diluted share, compared to $(9.6) million, or $(0.25) per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of 2015.
• Non-GAAP net loss¹ in the third quarter of 2016 was $(3.6) million or $(0.09) per basic and diluted share, compared to $(7.3) million, or $(0.19) per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of 2015.
• Adjusted EBITDA loss¹ for the third quarter of 2016 was $(1.1) million, compared to $(5.1) million for the third quarter of 2015.

Recent Business Highlights

• End of period subscribers grew 20% year over year to 58,566.
• Average monthly revenue per subscriber (ARPS) grew 12% year over year to approximately $204.
• Dollar-based net expansion rate was 115%, compared to 119% as of the end of the third quarter of 2015. This metric nets the effects of subscriber churn against the increasing value of subscribers retained, indicating the tendency of our subscriber cohorts to gain value over time.
• Payments volume increased 26% year over year to approximately $1.6 billion.
• Mindbody acquired one of its most successful technology platform partners, Austin-based HealCode. Through this acquisition, Mindbody adds powerful, new customer engagement and marketing tools to its suite of business and consumer solutions and gives subscribers an omnichannel online presence
• Mindbody and Under Armour launched a new integration designed to provide more people with access to nearby fitness classes nationwide directly through the MyFitnessPal® app. Over 60 million MyFitnessPal registered users in the U.S. can now easily discover, book and pay for classes at tens of thousands of fitness studios in the Mindbody® network across the country.
• BOLD 2016, the Mindbody Conference, was held in October in Hollywood. BOLD brought together the largest gathering ever of Mindbody software subscribers from around the world. Attendees experienced educational and networking opportunities designed to fuel their business growth and success, exploring topics that will help them thrive in the wellness services industry. Attendance at BOLD more than doubled from last year.
• Mindbody appointed Cipora Herman, former CFO of the San Francisco 49ers and former VP of Finance at Facebook, to the Board of Directors. Herman brings deep experience to the board as a financial executive for several of the world’s most renowned entertainment and consumer brands.

¹ A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” 

"We are pleased with our execution this quarter, highlighted by 35% year over year revenue growth and strong subscriber growth while continuing to improve margins,” said Brett White, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. “We continue to have a huge opportunity in front of us as we expand our leadership position in the wellness services industry."

Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2016, Mindbody expects to report:

• Revenue in the range of $37.7 to $38.7 million, representing 33% to 37% growth over the fourth quarter of 2015.
• Non-GAAP net loss in the range of $(2.5) to $(3.5) million and weighted average shares outstanding for the fourth quarter of approximately 40.6 million shares.

For the full year of 2016, Mindbody expects to report:

• Revenue in the range of $138.5 to $139.5 million, representing 37% to 38% growth over 2015.
• Non-GAAP net loss in the range of $(14.9) to $(15.9) million.

The outlook for non-GAAP net loss excludes estimates for stock-based compensation expense. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense is impacted by Mindbody’s future hiring and retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of Mindbody’s Class A common stock, all of which is difficult to predict and is subject to constant change. The actual amount of stock-based compensation expense for the remainder of 2016 will have a significant impact on Mindbody’s future GAAP financial results. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial guidance measures to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, MINDBODY has provided financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). We disclose the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net loss, and non-GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and evaluating our ongoing operational performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in understanding and evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Our use of these non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider these non-GAAP financial measures along with other GAAP-based financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net loss, and our GAAP financial results. We have provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net loss before stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, change in fair value of contingent consideration, change in fair value of preferred stock warrant, provision for income taxes, and other expense, net, which consisted of interest expense, net, and miscellaneous other expense, net. We have provided below a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA in this press release because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget, and to develop short and long-term operational plans. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of the amounts eliminated in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. Adjusted EBITDA has a number of limitations, including the following: (1) although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; (2) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs, the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation, or tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and (3) other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted

We define non-GAAP net loss as the respective GAAP balance attributable to common stockholders adjusted for: (1) stock-based compensation expense, (2) accretion of redeemable convertible preferred stock, and (3) deemed dividend - preferred stock modification. Non-GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted, is calculated as non-GAAP net loss divided by the non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding that are adjusted to assume the conversion of outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock into common stock as of the beginning of the period. These non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations, including the following: these non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation expense, which has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in MINDBODY’s business; and other companies, including companies in our industry, may exclude different non-recurring items in their calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure.
