INNODATA INC. (Nasdaq:INOD) today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.Revenue of $58.3 million, representing 120% revenue growth year-over-year.Adjusted EBITDA of $12.7 million, an increase of $8.9 million from $3.8 million in the same period last year.*Net income of $7.8 million, or $0.25 per basic share and $0.22 per diluted share, compared to a net income of $1.0 million, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, in the same period last year.Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $56.6 million as of March 31, 2025 and $46.9 million as of December 31, 2024.* Adjusted EBITDA is defined below.Jack Abuhoff, CEO, said, "We had a strong start to the year. We're being onboarded by potential major new customers, expanding existing relationships, and building a pipeline that's deeper and more advanced than at any point in our history. We are bringing ideas and innovation to our customers that are being well received. We believe the breadth of activity across our business illustrates strong momentum that positions us for continued strong performance.Specifically, we draw investors' attention to several important factors that we believe demonstrate the accelerating growth in our business:Expanding Relationships with Existing Customers. Today we signed a second master statement of work with our largest customer enabling them to utilize our capabilities in a distinct budget category within their organization - separate from the budget that supports our existing engagements. We believe this new budget is materially larger. In addition, four of our other Big Tech customers have awarded us engagements that we value at approximately $8 million, and we are in discussions with five of our other Big Tech customers that we believe are likely to result in more than $30 million of awards in the near term.New Customer Acquisition. We are in the process of being onboarded by a number of potentially significant customers. This includes one of the world's largest and most respected enterprise technology providers; one of the world's leading cloud software companies; a technology conglomerate that operates one of the world's largest digital commerce ecosystems; and a global healthcare technology company.Strategic Alignment. We believe we are aligned strategically to support our customers on their generative AI journeys. We continue to innovate and expand our capabilities around collecting and creating generative AI training data; agentic AI; enterprise AI; and large language model trust & safety.Investment. In 2025, we plan to re-invest a portion of our cash from operations back into the business. We are planning targeted investments in technology to support both current and prospective customers in their AI journeys, as well as increased strategic hiring in sales and solutioning to drive long-term growth. We believe we can make these investments and still guide to growing our Adjusted EBITDA in 2025 over 2024.Strong Balance Sheet. We strengthened our balance sheet, finishing the quarter with $56.6 million in cash, up from with $46.9 million in cash at year end. Our $30 million credit facility remains undrawn.2025 Guidance. We reiterate our guidance of 40% or more revenue growth in 2025.Macro Environment. We do not believe that short term business cycles or trade policies have much of an impact on our business prospects. We believe we are positioned to benefit from strong AI-driven capex spending among the Magnificent Seven companies, for whom AI advancements are considered high priorities.Abuhoff concluded, "The momentum in our business has never been stronger. My executive team and I are enthusiastic about our opportunity to harness the moment to build Innodata into one of the leading AI solutions companies of our era."Amounts in this press release have been rounded.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in making comparisons of period-to-period operating results. In some respects, management believes non-GAAP financial measures are more indicative of our ongoing core operating performance than their GAAP equivalents by making adjustments that management believes are reflective of the ongoing performance of the business.We believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial information provides investors with greater transparency by providing investors a more complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position, and prospects for the future, particularly by providing the same information that management and our Board of Directors use to evaluate our performance and manage the business. However, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release have certain limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, the non-GAAP financial measures that we present may differ from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross MarginWe define Adjusted Gross Profit as revenues less direct operating costs attributable to Innodata Inc. and its subsidiaries in accordance with U.S. GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, non-recurring severance and other one-time costs included within direct operating cost.We define Adjusted Gross Margin by dividing Adjusted Gross Profit over total U.S. GAAP revenues.We use Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin to evaluate results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believe that these measures are important components of our internal performance measurement process.A reconciliation of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the tables that accompany this release.Adjusted EBITDAWe define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Innodata Inc. and its subsidiaries in accordance with U.S. GAAP before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets (which derives EBITDA), plus additional adjustments for loss on impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, stock-based compensation, income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, non-recurring severance, and other one-time costs.We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate core results of operations and trends between fiscal periods and believe that these measures are important components of our internal performance measurement process.A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the tables that accompany this release.INNODATA INC.
