ProntoForms Reports Q2 2020 Financial Results

Records 18% growth in recurring revenue over Q2 2019

OTTAWA, August 20, 2020 — ProntoForms Corporation (TSXV: PFM), the global leader in field-focused low-code application platforms for enterprise, announced today its second quarter (Q2) financial results for the period ended June 30, 2020.

“We acknowledge our customers’ continued resilience and patience during these challenging times. When the COVID-19 pandemic started, we successfully adapted our operations with new home and virtual work environments,” said Alvaro Pombo, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of ProntoForms. “We saw a slight decrease in our revenue base in March, April, and May but ended the quarter with a strong June resulting in the net growth of our Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) Base of 2.5% over the previous quarter. We recorded positive income in the quarter by accessing COVID-related government assistance and managing expenses. We ended the quarter in a strong financial position with $5.5 million in cash.”

Mr. Pombo continued, “Recurring revenue decreased by 1% sequentially following 4% sequential growth in Q1 2020. Despite elevated SMB churn early on, our ARR Base increased to $16.14 million at June 30, 2020 as several deals were finalized towards the end of the quarter. We continued strong enterprise expansion, and customers with more than $100,000 of ARR each represented 38% of that base—up from 30% a year ago.”

Mr. Pombo continued, “Leading IT analysts see continued investment in low-code applications as a long-term business trend. Additionally, they note that the pandemic is elevating custom low-code apps to the CIO office as key solutions to accelerate enterprise digital transformation strategies. We continue to invest in and release cutting edge capabilities in our platform to bolster existing field operation tech stacks and empower field technicians. We see the ongoing expansion of use cases and subscribers of our enterprise base as an indicator of the quantifiable value our platform provides to customers.”

This information is based on current expectations that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Actual results might differ materially from results suggested in any forward-looking statements. The Company’s business and value may not grow as anticipated or at all, revenue anticipated from contracts may not be received due to many risks, including factors specific to the customer, and anticipated market trends may not occur or continue. Historical growth levels and results may not be indicative of future growth levels or results. The Company assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those reflected in the forward looking-statements unless and until required by securities laws applicable to the Company.

Please see “Risk Factors Affecting Future Results” in the Company’s annual management discussion and analysis dated March 9, 2022 found at www.sedar.com for a discussion of such factors. ARR is calculated as the annual equivalent of the recurring elements of our contracts with customers that are in effect at the end of the period. It excludes one-time professional service fees and assumes that customers will renew the contractual commitments on a periodic basis as those commitments come up for renewal, unless such renewal is known to be unlikely at period end.
