The last year has accelerated the global enterprise awareness of our offerings and we are now serving a larger market than ever before. As our category leadership grows, our future is more exciting than ever before.”

Second Quarter 2021 Industry Recognition and Innovation Highlights

Industry Recognition

  • In June 2021, ON24 Elite was recognized as the top webinar software for Enterprises and Mid-Market companies by G2, one of the largest software marketplace and user review platforms.
  • In addition, in July 2021, TrustRadius, another review site for business technology, named ON24 the best webinar software for Enterprises.

Customer Experience Innovation

  • ON24 introduced its Hybrid Engagement solution, enabling customers to deliver unified experiences, where both physical and digital audiences can interact and engage with the same experience, at the same time. Virtual and physical attendees can view the same presentations, interact with the same digital content, participate in the same Q&A, polls, and network with breakouts. This enhances prospect engagement data, now spanning across both physical and digital attendees.
  • With the addition of ON24 Breakouts, ON24 now offers five experiences products, including ON24 Elite, ON24 Virtual Conference, ON24 Engagement Hub, and ON24 Target. Breakouts enable attendees and presenters to network with each other virtually face-to-face, allowing sales teams to connect immediately with prospects and subject matters experts to engage directly with customers.

AI-Driven Personalization

  • ON24 enhanced its ON24 Intelligence product and AI-Based personalization engine by expanding the first-party data displayed for each individual. Our customers are now able to view over 50+ data points over their prospect’s lifetime of engagement across live, always-on and personalized experiences and also integrate that data into key CRM and Marketing Automation platforms.

  • Total revenue of $47.5 to $48.5 million.
  • Non-GAAP operating loss of $(4.0) to $(3.0) million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, we consider our non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income (loss) and free cash flow in evaluating our operating performance. We define non-GAAP operating income as net (loss) income excluding, interest expense, other (income) expense, income tax and stock-based compensation. We define non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss) excluding cumulative preferred dividends allocated to preferred shareholders and stock-based compensation. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less purchases of property and equipment.

We use non-GAAP operating income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes, and we use free cash flow to measure and evaluate cash generated through normal business operations. We believe non-GAAP operating income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance. We believe free cash flow may be helpful to investors because it reflects that some purchases of property and equipment are necessary to support ongoing operations, while providing a measure of cash available to acquire customers, expand within existing customers and otherwise pursue our business strategies.

However, these non-GAAP financial measures are each presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measure as a tool for comparison.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are included in the tables at the end of this press release.
