AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Turbine, Inc. (Nasdaq: APPS) announced financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Recent Financial Highlights:
Fiscal second quarter of 2023 revenue totaled $174.9 million representing a 7% decline year-over-year as compared to the fiscal second quarter of 2022.
GAAP net income for the fiscal second quarter of 2023 was $11.7 million, or $0.11 per share, as compared to a GAAP net loss for the fiscal second quarter of 2022 of $5.9 million, or ($0.06) per share. Non-GAAP adjusted net income1 for the fiscal second quarter of 2023 was $35.0 million, or $0.34 per share, as compared to Non-GAAP adjusted net income1 of $45.3 million, or $0.44 per share, in the fiscal second quarter of 2022.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA2 for the fiscal second quarter of 2023 was $48.2 million, representing an increase of 1% as compared to Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA2 of $47.9 million in the fiscal second quarter of 2022. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin2 increased to 28% in the fiscal second quarter of 2023, representing an all-time high for the Company.
"In these challenging macroeconomic times, I was pleased that we continue to showcase our profitable business model and ability to expand margins in an inflationary environment," said Bill Stone, CEO. "We managed to achieve financial results that exceeded the midpoints of our profitability guidance for the second quarter. Our fiscal second quarter adjusted EBITDA margin reached an all-time high of 28% during the second quarter, which is a testament to the relative efficiencies and inherent cash flow generation of our platform business model. We have now delivered more than three times the adjusted EBITDA in the past six quarters than we did in the previous six years combined."
Mr. Stone concluded, "Beyond the stated financial performance, I want to also acknowledge the significant progress that we are continuing to make with respect to a number of key strategic initiatives, such as OneDT Integration, SingleTap and AppHub, that we expect will be meaningful contributors to the next significant wave of growth at Digital Turbine. We believe that we are ideally positioned to help empower our telecom partners, as well as large global publishers and advertisers across our platform, to capitalize on an expanding range of innovative new app distribution opportunities. We look forward to detailing more specific progress made on these fronts in the quarters to come."
Fiscal 2023 Second Quarter Financial Results
Total revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $174.9 million. Total On-Device Solutions revenue before intercompany eliminations, was $108.5 million. Before intercompany eliminations, total revenue from our App Growth Platform was $68.3 million.
GAAP net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $11.7 million, or $0.11 per share, as compared to a GAAP net loss of $5.9 million, or ($0.06) per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Non-GAAP adjusted net income1 for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $35.0 million, or $0.34 per share, as compared to Non-GAAP adjusted net income of $45.3 million, or $0.44 per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA2 for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $48.2 million, representing an increase of 1% year-over-year when compared to Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $47.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The reconciliations between GAAP and Non-GAAP financial results for all referenced periods are provided in the tables immediately following the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows below.
Based on information available as of November 9, 2022, the Company currently expects the following for the third quarter of fiscal 2023:
Revenue of between $180 million and $190 million
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA2 of between $53 million and $57 million
Non-GAAP adjusted EPS1 of $0.36 to $0.39, based on approximately 104 million diluted shares outstanding and an effective tax rate of 25% in the fiscal third quarter
It is not reasonably practicable to provide a business outlook for GAAP net income because the Company cannot reasonably estimate the changes in stock-based compensation expense, which is directly impacted by changes in the Company's stock price, or other items that are difficult to predict with precision.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Digital Turbine uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP adjusted net income and earnings per share ("EPS"), non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP free cash flow, and non-GAAP gross profit. Reconciliations to the nearest GAAP measures of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the tables below.
Non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance, prospects for the future and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain expenses and benefits that may not be indicative of recurring core business operating results. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures that exclude such items when viewed in conjunction with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations enhance the comparability of results against prior periods and allow for greater transparency of financial results. The Company believes non-GAAP measures facilitate management's internal comparison of its financial performance to that of prior periods as well as trend analysis for budgeting and planning purposes. The presentation of non-GAAP measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
1Non-GAAP adjusted net income and EPS are defined as GAAP net income and EPS adjusted to exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangibles, change in fair value of contingent liability, and transaction-related expenses and compensation costs. Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP adjusted net income and EPS should not be construed as an alternative to comparable GAAP net income figures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as an indicator of profitability or performance, which is the most comparable measure under GAAP.
2Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is calculated as GAAP net income excluding the following cash and non-cash expenses: stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, net interest income/(expense), change in fair value of contingent liability, foreign exchange transaction gains/(losses), income tax provision, and transaction-related expenses and compensation costs. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue. Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as an indicator of performance, which is the most comparable measure under GAAP.
3Non-GAAP free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net cash provided by operating activities (as stated in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows), excluding transaction-related expenses and compensation costs, reduced by capital expenditures. Readers are cautioned that free cash flow should not be construed as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as an indicator of profitability, performance or liquidity, which is the most comparable measure under GAAP.
4Non-GAAP gross profit is defined as GAAP income from operations adjusted to exclude the effect of product development costs, sales and marketing costs, general and administrative costs, and depreciation of software. Readers are cautioned that non-GAAP gross profit should not be construed as an alternative to income from operations determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as an indicator of profitability or performance, which is the most comparable measure under GAAP.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted net income and EPS, non-GAAP free cash flow, and non-GAAP gross profit are used by management as internal measures of profitability and performance. They have been included because the Company believes that the measures are used by certain investors to assess the Company's financial performance before non-cash charges and certain costs that the Company does not believe are reflective of its underlying business.
