Lightspeed reports in US dollars and in accordance with IFRS.
MONTREAL, Aug. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Lightspeed Commerce Inc. ("Lightspeed" or the "Company") (TSX: LSPD) (NYSE: LSPD), the unified POS and payments platform, today announced financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
The culmination of One Lightspeed – bringing our flagship platforms to market – has allowed the Company to hone its focus in this "year of execution," including targeting high GTV customers, accelerating product innovation, and growing revenue from financial services all while pursuing Adjusted EBITDA break even or better2 for the full fiscal year.
"Although it is still early days for Unified Payments, many customers who have adopted Lightspeed Payments are thrilled with the results, which is encouraging as we continue to roll out this initiative globally," said JP Chauvet, CEO of Lightspeed. "Our customers are recognizing that, unlike their experience on legacy systems and outdated terminals, the Lightspeed POS and Payments platform saves them time and money, allowing them to elevate the experience they provide to their customers."
"We switched to Lightspeed Payments because with Lightspeed we're saving a lot of money in fees and it has made the business much faster, cheaper and easier to operate," explained Melissa Joy Manning, owner and CEO of Melissa Joy Manning jewelry. "We're also saving a lot of time in the reconciliation process."
"This quarter saw several promising trends continue, all of which are worth highlighting," said Asha Bakshani, CFO of Lightspeed. "Gross Payments Volume showed substantial growth while customer acquisition costs and churn remained in-line with previous quarters. Given this strong start to the fiscal year, I believe we are on course to deliver Adjusted EBITDA break even or better in fiscal 20242 – establishing a strong foundation for durable long-term growth."

Operational Highlights
- Lightspeed delivered several new product features in the quarter. In Europe, Lightspeed launched its Advanced Insights module, an analytics tool that leverages machine learning to provide unique insights for Lightspeed Restaurant customers while respecting compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation. Lightspeed Capital expanded in new regions including Australia and Quebec, while self-serve Capital was released for all eligible users in Canada. Within our B2B offering, Lightspeed released NuORDER Assortments for Brands in North America and Europe, enabling brands to visualize assortments in the cloud, optimize inventory allocation and identify merchandising gaps. On the Unified Payments front, next-day-payouts are now available to many retail customers using Lightspeed Payments globally.
- Lightspeed's customer base continued to shift towards higher GTV Customer Locations. This resulted in the number of Customer Locations4 with GTV of over $500,000/year5 increasing by 10% year-over-year, and Customer Locations with over $1 million/year5 in GTV increasing by 11% year-over-year. Conversely, the number of Customer Locations processing under $200,000/year5 in GTV decreased on a year-over-year basis. Customer Locations with GTV of over $500,000/year5 have substantially lower risk of churn and higher lifetime value for Lightspeed compared to lower GTV/year customers.
- For the quarter, Lightspeed's customers processed GTV4 of $23.4 billion, up 6% year-over-year. Omni-channel retail and hospitality GTV both grew at approximately the same rates.
- An increasing portion of GTV is being processed through the Company's payments solutions. GPV4 increased 56% to $5.1 billion from $3.3 billion in the same period last year.
- The merchant cash advances balance as of June 30, 2023 increased by $11.1 million, or 37%, from the previous quarter.
- The Company's global scale and impact was highlighted this quarter as Lightspeed announced it had served over 1 billion meals and facilitated over 300 million dining experiences in the twelve month period ended May 2023.
- Notable customer wins include: The Spice & Tea Exchange, a US-based fine spice and herb store which selected Lightspeed's Retail offering for their over 80 franchises; UK-based luxury fragrance and skin care provider, Bath House, with 6 locations has also signed up for Lightspeed Retail; Chef Teo Paul's restaurants, Côte de Boeuf, Hearts Tavern, Le Tambour Tavern and Michelin recommended Union, have chosen Lightspeed Restaurant to support their expansion; March First, with 4 brewery and tasting room locations in Cincinnati is adopting the Lightspeed Restaurant offering; the six location Kickon Group from Australia has also joined with Lightspeed Restaurant; and Cove Cay Golf Course in Florida has signed up for the Lightspeed Golf, Retail, and Restaurant trifecta.
- After the quarter, Lightspeed published its second annual Sustainability Report showcasing how customers leverage Lightspeed technology to transform the world for the better and build vibrant, diverse communities. Key highlights include: the planting of 1.4 million trees through Lightspeed's Carbon Free Dining initiative; working with travel partners to offset over 2 million kilograms of CO2 emissions from business travel; aligning employee wealth creation with the interests of shareholders with approximately 80% of all Fiscal 2023 equity incentive grants being to non-insiders; fostering an inclusive workplace where 86% of Lightspeed's employees reported they feel they can be their authentic self at work; and making strides to increase gender diversity throughout the Company, including achieving approximately 33% representation of women at the executive leadership level.

5 Excluding Customer Locations and GTV attributable to the Ecwid eCommerce standalone product, Lightspeed Golf and NuORDER by Lightspeed product. A Customer Location's GTV per year is calculated by annualizing the GTV for the months in which the Customer Location is actively processing in the last twelve months. |
Financial Outlook6
The following outlook supersedes all prior statements made by the Company and is based on current expectations.
The Company's outlook reflects caution on the near term results given the economic climate and its impact on the Company's end markets as well as uncertainty surrounding the impact and timing of the Unified Payments initiative. The Company chose to exercise caution in regards to GTV growth assumptions as it anticipates that many consumers have yet to experience the full impact of rising interest rates. Additionally, Lightspeed expects that revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA performance will be stronger in the second half of the fiscal year.
_____________________________ |
6 The financial outlook is fully qualified and based on a number of assumptions and subject to a number of risks described under the heading "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Financial Outlook Assumptions" of this press release. |
Factoring this into consideration, the Company's outlook for the full fiscal year and the second quarter is as follows:
Second Quarter 2024
- Revenue of approximately $210 million - $215 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA loss3 of approximately $4 million.
Fiscal 2024
- Revenue of approximately $875 million - $900 million.
- Break even or better Adjusted EBITDA3 inclusive of the costs incurred for the unified payments initiative.

Financial Outlook Assumptions
When calculating the Adjusted EBITDA included in our financial outlook for the second quarter and full year ended March 31, 2024, we considered IFRS measures including revenue, direct cost of revenue, and operating expenses. Our financial outlook is based on a number of assumptions, including assumptions related to inflation, changes in interest rates, consumer spending, foreign exchange rates and other macroeconomic conditions; that the jurisdictions in which Lightspeed has significant operations do not impose strict measures put in place in response to pandemics like the COVID-19 pandemic; requests for subscription pauses and churn rates owing to business failures remain in line with planned levels; our Customer Location count remaining in line with our planned levels (particularly in higher GTV cohorts); revenue streams resulting from certain partner referrals remaining in line with our expectations (particularly in light of our decision to unify our POS and payments solutions, which payments solutions have in the past and may in the future, in some instances, be perceived by certain referral partners to be competing with their own solutions); customers adopting our payments solutions having an average GTV at or above that of our planned levels; accelerated uptake of our payments solutions as compared to prior rates and expectations in connection with our decision to sell our POS and payments solutions as one unified platform; gross margins reflecting this trend in revenue mix; our ability to price our payments solutions in line with our expectations and to achieve suitable margins; our ability to achieve success in the continued expansion of our payments solutions, including as part of our initiative to sell our POS and payments solutions as one unified platform; historical seasonal trends return to certain of our key verticals and impact our GTV and transaction-based revenues; continued success in module adoption expansion throughout our customer base; our ability to derive the benefits we expect from the acquisitions we have completed including expected synergies resulting from the prioritization of our flagship Lightspeed Retail and Lightspeed Restaurant offerings; market acceptance and adoption of our flagship offerings; our ability to attract and retain key personnel required to achieve our plans; our expectations regarding the costs, timing and impact of our cost reduction initiatives; our ability to manage customer churn; and our ability to manage customer discount and payment deferral requests. Our financial outlook does not give effect to the potential impact of acquisitions that may be announced or closed after the date hereof. Our financial outlook, including the various underlying assumptions, constitutes forward-looking information and should be read in conjunction with the cautionary statement on forward-looking information below. Many factors may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including the risks and uncertainties related to: macroeconomic factors affecting small and medium-sized businesses, including inflation, changes in interest rates and consumer spending trends; instability in the banking sector; exchange rate fluctuations; any pandemic such as the COVID-19 pandemic; the Russian invasion of Ukraine and reactions thereto; our inability to attract and retain customers; our inability to increase customer sales; our inability to implement our growth strategy; our inability to continue the acceleration of the global rollout and adoption of our payments solutions, including our initiative to sell our POS and payments solutions as one unified platform; risks relating to our merchant cash advance program and our ability to continue offering merchant cash advances in line with our expectations; our reliance on a small number of cloud service suppliers and suppliers for parts of the technology in our payments solutions; our ability to maintain sufficient levels of hardware inventory; our inability to improve and enhance the functionality, performance, reliability, design, security and scalability of our platform; our ability to prevent and manage information security breaches or other cyber-security threats; our ability to compete against competitors; strategic relations with third parties; our reliance on integration of third-party payment processing solutions; compatibility of our solutions with third-party applications and systems; changes to technologies on which our platform is reliant; our ability to obtain, maintain and protect our intellectual property; risks relating to international operations, sales and use of our platform in various countries; our liquidity and capital resources; pending and threatened litigation and regulatory compliance; changes in tax laws and their application; our ability to expand our sales, marketing and support capability and capacity; our ability to execute on our cost reduction initiatives; and maintaining our customer service levels and reputation.

Non-IFRS Measures and Ratios
The information presented herein includes certain non-IFRS financial measures such as "Adjusted EBITDA", "Adjusted Loss", "Adjusted Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities", "Non-IFRS gross profit", "Non-IFRS general and administrative expenses", "Non-IFRS research and development expenses", and "Non-IFRS sales and marketing expenses" and certain non-IFRS ratios such as "Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue", "Adjusted Loss per Share - Basic and Diluted", "Non-IFRS gross profit as a percentage of revenue", "Non-IFRS general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue", "Non-IFRS research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue", and "Non-IFRS sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue".These measures and ratios are not recognized measures and ratios under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures and ratios presented by other companies. Rather, these measures and ratios are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures and ratios by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures and ratios should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. These non-IFRS measures and ratios are used to provide investors with supplemental measures and ratios of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures and ratios. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures and ratios in the evaluation of issuers. Our management also uses non-IFRS measures and ratios in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of management compensation.
"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as net loss excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, as adjusted for share-based compensation and related payroll taxes, compensation expenses relating to acquisitions completed, foreign exchange gains and losses, transaction-related costs, restructuring, litigation provisions and goodwill impairment. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides a useful supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance, as it helps illustrate underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the income or expenses that are not indicative of the core operating performance of our business.
"Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue" is calculated by dividing our Adjusted EBITDA by our total revenue. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue provides a useful supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance, as it helps illustrate underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the income or expenses that are not indicative of the core operating performance of our business.
"Adjusted Loss" is defined as net loss excluding amortization of intangibles, as adjusted for share-based compensation and related payroll taxes, compensation expenses relating to acquisitions completed, transaction-related costs, restructuring, litigation provisions, deferred income taxes and goodwill impairment. We use this measure as we believe excluding amortization of intangibles and certain other non-cash or non-operational expenditures provides a helpful supplementary indicator of our business performance as it allows for more accurate comparability across periods.
"Adjusted Loss per Share - Basic and Diluted" is defined as Adjusted Loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares (basic and diluted). We use Adjusted Loss per Share - Basic and Diluted to provide a helpful supplemental indicator of the performance of our business on a per share (basic and diluted) basis.
"Adjusted Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities" is defined as cash flows used in operating activities as adjusted for the payment of payroll taxes on share-based compensation, the payment of compensation expenses relating to acquisitions completed, the payment of transaction-related costs, the payment of restructuring costs, the payment of amounts related to litigation provisions net of amounts received as insurance and indemnification proceeds and the payment of amounts related to capitalized internal development costs. We use this measure as we believe including or excluding certain inflows and outflows provides a helpful supplemental indicator to investors on our business performance in regard to the Company's ability to generate cash flows.
"Non-IFRS gross profit" is defined as gross profit as adjusted for share-based compensation and related payroll taxes. We use this measure as we believe excluding share-based compensation and related payroll taxes provides a helpful supplemental indicator to investors on our business performance in regard to the Company's performance and profitability.
"Non-IFRS gross profit as a percentage of revenue" is calculated by dividing our Non-IFRS gross profit by our total revenue. We use this ratio as we believe excluding share-based compensation and related payroll taxes provides a helpful supplemental indicator to investors on our business performance in regard to the Company's performance and profitability.
"Non-IFRS general and administrative expenses" is defined as general and administrative expenses as adjusted for share-based compensation and related payroll taxes, transaction-related costs and litigation provisions. We use this measure as we believe excluding certain charges provides a helpful supplemental indicator to investors on our operating expenditures.
"Non-IFRS general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue" is calculated by dividing our Non-IFRS general and administrative expenses by our total revenue. We use this ratio as we believe excluding certain charges provides a helpful supplemental indicator to investors on our operating expenditures.
"Non-IFRS research and development expenses" is defined as research and development expenses as adjusted for share-based compensation and related payroll taxes. We use this measure as we believe excluding share-based compensation and related payroll taxes provides a helpful supplemental indicator to investors on our operating expenditures.
"Non-IFRS research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue" is calculated by dividing our Non-IFRS research and development expenses by our total revenue. We use this ratio as we believe excluding share-based compensation and related payroll taxes provides a helpful supplemental indicator to investors on our operating expenditures.
"Non-IFRS sales and marketing expenses" is defined as sales and marketing expenses as adjusted for share-based compensation and related payroll taxes and transaction-related costs. We use this measure as we believe excluding share-based compensation and related payroll taxes and transaction-related costs provides a helpful supplemental indicator to investors on our operating expenditures.
"Non-IFRS sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue" is calculated by dividing our Non-IFRS sales and marketing expenses by our total revenue. We use this ratio as we believe excluding share-based compensation and related payroll taxes and transaction-related costs provides a helpful supplemental indicator to investors on our operating expenditures.
See the financial tables below for a reconciliation of the non-IFRS financial measures and ratios.
Key Performance Indicators
We monitor the following key performance indicators to help us evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. These key performance indicators are also used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures and ratios. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use industry metrics in the evaluation of issuers. Our key performance indicators may be calculated in a manner different than similar key performance indicators used by other companies.
Average Revenue Per User. "Average Revenue Per User" or "ARPU" represents the total subscription revenue and transaction-based revenue of the Company in the period divided by the number of Customer Locations of the Company in the period. We use this measure as we believe it provides a helpful supplemental indicator of our progress in growing the revenue that we derive from our customer base. For greater clarity, the number of Customer Locations of the Company in the period is calculated by taking the average number of Customer Locations throughout the period.
Customer Locations. "Customer Location" means a billing merchant location for which the term of services have not ended, or with which we are negotiating a renewal contract, and, in the case of NuORDER, a brand with a direct or indirect paid subscription for which the terms of services have not ended or in respect of which we are negotiating a subscription renewal. A single unique customer can have multiple Customer Locations including physical and eCommerce sites and in the case of NuORDER, multiple subscriptions. We use this measure as we believe that our ability to increase the number of Customer Locations with a high GTV per year served by our platform is an indicator of our success in terms of market penetration and growth of our business. A Customer Location's GTV per year is calculated by annualizing the GTV for the months in which the Customer Location was actively processing in the last twelve months.
Gross Payment Volume. "Gross Payment Volume" or "GPV" means the total dollar value of transactions processed, excluding amounts processed through the NuORDER solution, in the period through our payments solutions in respect of which we act as the principal in the arrangement with the customer, net of refunds, inclusive of shipping and handling, duty and value-added taxes. We use this measure as we believe that growth in our GPV demonstrates the extent to which we have scaled our payments solutions. As the number of Customer Locations using our payments solutions grows, particularly those with a high GTV, we will generate more GPV and see higher transaction-based revenue. We have excluded amounts processed through the NuORDER solution from our GPV because they represent business-to-business volume rather than business-to-consumer volume and we do not currently have a robust payments solution for business-to-business volume.
Gross Transaction Volume. "Gross Transaction Volume" or "GTV" means the total dollar value of transactions processed through our cloud-based software-as-a-service platform, excluding amounts processed through the NuORDER solution, in the period, net of refunds, inclusive of shipping and handling, duty and value-added taxes. We use this measure as we believe GTV is an indicator of the success of our customers and the strength of our platform. GTV does not represent revenue earned by us. We have excluded amounts processed through the NuORDER solution from our GTV because they represent business-to-business volume rather than business-to-consumer volume and we do not currently have a robust payments solution for business-to-business volume.

(1) | These expenses represent non-cash expenditures recognized in connection with issued stock options and other awards under our equity incentive plans to our employees and directors, and cash related payroll taxes given that they are directly attributable to share-based compensation; they can include estimates and are therefore subject to change. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, share-based compensation expense was $17,823 (June 2022 - expense of $38,528), and related payroll taxes were an expense of $910 (June 2022 - recovery of $226). These amounts are included in direct cost of revenues, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses and sales and marketing expenses (see note 6 of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for additional details). |
(2) | In connection with the accounting standard IFRS 16 - Leases, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, net loss includes depreciation of $2,230 related to right-of-use assets, interest expense of $287 on lease liabilities, and excludes an amount of $2,066 relating to rent expense ($2,047, $271, and $2,092, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022). |
(3) | These non-cash losses relate to foreign exchange translation. |
(4) | These costs represent a portion of the consideration paid to acquired businesses that is contingent upon the ongoing employment obligations for certain key personnel of such acquired businesses, and/or on certain performance criteria being achieved. |
(5) | These expenses relate to professional, legal, consulting, accounting, advisory, and other fees relating to our public offerings and acquisitions that would otherwise not have been incurred. These costs are included in general and administrative expenses and sales and marketing expenses. |
(6) | During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, certain functions and the associated management structure were reorganized to realize synergies and ensure organizational agility. The expenses associated with this reorganization were recorded as a restructuring charge. |
(7) | These amounts represent provisions taken and other costs, such as legal fees, incurred in respect of certain litigation matters, net of amounts covered by insurance and indemnifications. These amounts do not include provisions taken and other costs incurred in respect of litigation matters of a nature that we consider normal to our business. These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses. |

These amounts are included in general and administrative expenses. |
(6) | In periods where we reported an Adjusted Loss, as a result of the Adjusted Losses incurred, all potentially-dilutive shares have been excluded from the calculation of Adjusted Loss per Share - Diluted because including them would be anti-dilutive. Adjusted Loss per Share - Diluted is the same as Adjusted Loss per Share - Basic in these periods where we incurred an Adjusted Loss. |

If these costs were not capitalized as an intangible asset, they would be part of our cash flows used in operating activities. |
