WANdisco (LSE: WAND), the LiveData company announces interim
unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June
2021.
Financial headlines
-- Revenue for the period $3.4 million (H1 2020: $3.6 million)
-- Cash overheads(1) of $20.1 million (H1 2020: $17.9 million)
-- Adjusted EBITDA(2) loss of $14.2 million (H1 2020: $11.9 million)
-- Statutory loss from operations of $20.3 million (H1 2020: $14.0
million)
-- Cash at 30 June 2021 of $47.7 million (31 December 2020: $21.0
million)
-- No debt as at 30 June 2021 of $nil (31 December 2020: $0.6 million)
-- Raised gross proceeds of $42.4 million through a share placing
and subscription to accelerate the Group's growth ambitions and
to pursue near term opportunities with channel partners
Strategic and operational highlights
-- General Availability of our Azure service expected in the next
few weeks, a critical step in converting pipeline customers
-- Progress in transitioning business model to cloud-centric consumption
basis to increase predictability of revenue (unbilled backlog),
reduced discounting (metered pricing) and easier upsell potential
-- Snowflake partnership complements existing Databricks relationship,
consolidating market position in supporting machine learning
applications
-- Investment into channel and direct sales capacity to further
establish product availability
-- "Commit to Consume" contract structure to become the norm, where
a customer is obligated to move a minimum amount of data over
a given time
o Brings WANdisco in line with cloud platform model aligning
its service to the models of industry leaders such as Databricks
and Snowflake
o Benefits customers through the flexibility expected from cloud-based
solutions
o Provides WANdisco with a stream of committed revenues that
have the potential to increase as customers' data needs expand
Post period end
-- Secured the first commit-to-consume contract, a minimum $1.0M,
5-year contract with an existing major US Telecom customer to
migrate a minimum of 5PB of business-critical analytical data
to the Microsoft Azure cloud, with a significant opportunity
for further consumption growth.
Outlook
-- The disappointing first half performance linked to delays with
general availability with the Microsoft product led to a smaller
volume of consumption deals in H1. As the first Microsoft partner
that has a deeply embedded solution, it remains strategic to
Microsoft given the uniqueness of our technology. The Board now
expects a minimum revenue plus Remaining Performance Obligation
(RPO") target of $18m for FY21. The Board believes this is the
most relevant KPI for a consumption business that is building
long term consumption commitments. RPO is defined as deferred
revenue plus committed, unbilled backlog.
David Richards, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of
WANdisco, commented:
"The first half of 2021 has been a period of both learning and
tireless execution, as WANdisco laid the groundwork for significant
acceleration in customer wins. Two factors impacted our topline
financial performance in H1.
First, was underestimating the importance and timing of General
Availability for our Azure product. As a business-critical
operation, potential customers wanted the assurance that General
Availability provides. We expect to be able to announce General
Availability shortly, fully opening this pipeline opportunity.
Second, where we had expected an initial wave of smaller volume
projects, demand was in fact led by large scale strategic
migrations. It has now become clear that a data first approach to
this datalake migration movement is the only viable approach for
Bluechip organisations, leading to more complex projects with
longer execution timelines.
With our product now launched on both Azure and AWS, we have
also been focussed on transitioning our business model to a
cloud-centric consumption model to align our revenue streams with
that of our partners. This change will lead to greater
predictability of revenue in the medium to long term, with revenue
phased to align with consumption.
Complementing our existing relationship with Databricks, we have
partnered with Snowflake to accelerate movement of data into their
Data Cloud, consolidating WANdisco's market position in supporting
machine learning.
Post period end, the first significant contract based on
committed consumption of data and customer usage has been closed,
which is typical of the scale of our customers' demand and pipeline
opportunities.
The Board remains confident that the combination of our market
opportunity, product readiness, and deepening commitments from
customers and cloud partners provides a strong platform to deliver
growth in the short and medium term."

BUSINESS REVIEW
In H1 FY21, we invested in both our channel and direct sales
capacity to further establish our product availability and robust
partnerships with cloud platform vendors and System Integrators
("SI's"). We continue to see a significant demand for cloud
migration solutions, and many large enterprises are realising that
moving to the cloud is a business imperative for analytics and
elastic compute. Some have tried traditional migration solutions
and have found them to be poorly suited to migrating large amounts
of rapidly changing data with guaranteed consistency. These
enterprises are now turning to WANdisco's suite of LiveData
Migrator solutions that are easy to use and remove complexity
whilst guaranteeing data consistency.
We are starting to see a transition of our business model away
from subscription contracts that required significant upfront
revenue recognition thus giving rise to lumpy and difficult to
predict revenue streams, into a cloud-centric consumption model
that aligns our revenue streams to that of our partners and is
consistent with our customers' expectations. Our enterprise
contracts are structured as "Commit-to-Consume" contracts where a
customer is obligated to move a minimum amount of data over a given
time. This gives our customers the flexibility that they expect
from cloud based solutions and gives WANdisco a stream of committed
predictable revenues that have the potential to increase as our
customers' data needs expand.
As the inflexibility of on-premise analytics platforms becomes a
competitive hinderance for customers, there is an increasing need
to re-platform analytics into the cloud. We already support some of
the major destinations for cloud analytics such as Databricks and
the cloud native platforms. Snowflake is another major destination
for analytical data in the cloud, and we have announced a
partnership with Snowflake to accelerate the movement of data into
their Data Cloud. We also made significant progress towards the
General Availability of our embedded solution for Microsoft Azure,
LiveData Migrator for Azure, and expect to announce General
Availability shortly. During H1 FY21 and ongoing we have entered
into joint marketing agreements with AWS, designed to promote
migration to AWS with our LiveData Migrator for AWS. Our
partnerships with these major cloud vendors and solutions provide
WANdisco with a growing opportunity to become integral to the
entire lifecycle of analytical data and cloud migration.
The Group continues to see the growing need for data consistency
and data availability across the world, and WANdisco's ability to
facilitate cloud migration at scale without business interruption
is becoming a key factor for organisations and their SI partners as
they accelerate their journey to the cloud.
COVID-19 update
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the implementation of
long-standing business continuity measures, with staff working from
home across the globe. As a predominantly distributed organization
working remotely for most employees is normal, and to date, we have
not seen any negative impact on our productivity. The business
remains well placed to weather a prolonged period of self-isolation
with good teamwork and employee morale. We also believe that the
improvements made to how we operate will continue and evolve
further when the COVID-19 crisis ends.
Outlook
We have signed the first contract for multi-petabyte data
migration spanning multiple years, and we believe we will continue
to have success with similar scale enterprise deals. Our
cloud-centric consumption model and Commit-to-Consume structured
contracts, gives WANdisco predictability over its revenues and the
business confidence we will see a stream of committed revenues in
H2 FY21.
With companies seeking to leverage cloud economics and
scalability and adopting a data first migration approach, there is
a significant opportunity ahead of us. Our native Azure service
takes advantage of billing and technical integrations with
Microsoft Azure. We are also seeing growing demand from our other
cloud partners as the need to capitalise on the cloud and move
on-premises workloads becomes a business imperative. The Board's
confidence in our outlook is built upon the convergence of the
market opportunity, product readiness, and the depth of
relationships with our cloud vendor partners, System Integrators
and Analytic platforms.
The disappointing first half performance linked to delays with
general availability with the Microsoft product led to a smaller
volume of consumption deals in H1. As the first Microsoft partner
that has a deeply embedded solution, it remains strategic to
Microsoft given the uniqueness of our solution. The Board now
expects a minimum revenue plus RPO target of $18m for FY21. The
Board believes this is the most relevant KPI for a consumption
business that is building long term consumption commitments. RPO is
defined as deferred revenue plus committed, unbilled backlog.
KPIs
Our business continues to evolve and as such, the metrics used
to measure success also change. With the addition of
Commit-to-Consume contracts, we believe KPIs that include remaining
RPO is appropriate in addition to:
-- Consumption based revenue
-- Volume of data migrated
-- Number of customer wins
-- $ Net retention rates ($value of customer contracts in current
period vs.$ value of those customers in the prior period)
The objective of these KPIs is to provide an indication of the
rate of conversion of the cloud migration opportunity ahead, to
account for revenues being recognised later in the sales cycle and
financial year through metered consumption.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Revenue for the period ended 30 June 2021 was $3.4 million (H1
2020: $3.6 million).
Deferred revenue from sales booked during the first half of 2021
and in previous years, and not yet recognised as revenue, is $2.7
million at 30 June 2021 (H1 2020: $3.2 million). Our deferred
revenue represents future revenue from new and renewed contracts,
many of them spanning multiple years.
Adjusted EBITDA loss(2) was $14.2 million (H1 2020: $11.9
million), due primarily to the strategic investments we made to
strengthen our go-to-market and engineering resources to drive
future growth.
Revenue
Revenue was $3.4 million (H1 2020: $3.6 million). The business
continues to achieve a significant proportion of contracted revenue
through direct sales. In most cases, these direct sales are only
achievable through the close partnerships held with major cloud
vendors. The Group expects over time to increase the contribution
of partner channel sales to direct sales, as the partnerships with
cloud vendors and ISV begin to bear fruit.
As we continue to transition to a recurring revenue model, the
variability in near term revenue decreases as the one-off perpetual
licenses decrease in volume and size, being replaced by smaller but
more repeatable revenue streams with greater forward
visibility.
Operating costs
Cash overheads(1) increased in the period as we made important
investments in Sales and Engineering to capitalise on the
opportunities with our cloud partners, rising to $20.1 million from
$17.9 million in the first half of 2020.
Product development expenditure capitalised in the period was
$2.9 million (H1 2020: $2.6 million). All of this expenditure was
associated with new product features and was capitalised.
Our headcount was 187 as at 30 June 2021 (31 December 2020: 180,
30 June 2020: 174). Headcount increases in the period were
principally in Sales and Marketing and Engineering as we added
capacity to develop new products and service our partner
channel.
Profit and loss
Adjusted EBITDA(2) loss for the period was $14.2 million (H1
2020: $11.9 million).
The loss after tax for the period increased to $20.3 million (H1
2020: $14.0 million), principally as a result of increased
overheads. The finance loss of $1.4 million (H1 2020: $3.9 million
gain), reported within finance costs/income, arose from the
retranslation of intercompany balances at 30 June 2021, reflecting
the increase in Sterling against the US dollar. The impact of FX
rates changes on the financial statements should be restricted to
the retranslation of US dollar denominated intercompany loans, as
opposed to the operating activities of the business. A translation
gain/(loss) respectively arising on the net assets of overseas
subsidiaries in reserves results in a minimal impact on the Group
net assets.
Balance sheet and cash flow
Trade and other receivables at 30 June 2021 were $6.0 million
(31 December 2020: $10.1 million). This includes $1.1 million of
trade receivables (31 December 2020: $5.3 million) and $4.9 million
related to non-trade receivables (31 December 2020: $4.8
million).
Net consumption of cash was $14.4 million before financing (H1
2020: $12.4 million), resulting in a closing cash balance of $47.7
million at 30 June 2021. The consumption of cash was due primarily
to an increase in cash overheads. For the full year, cash
consumption will be a function of the level of revenues achieved
and collection of customer receivables in the period. At 30 June
2021 we had drawings under our revolving credit facility with
Silicon Valley Bank of $nil (31 December 2020: $0.6 million).
On 10 March 2021 the Group announced the subscription and
placing of 6,885,572 new ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the
Company by existing shareholders at a price of 446 pence (a
discount of 0.4% on the closing share price on 9 March 2021)
raising gross proceeds of $42.4 million. The proceeds are being
used to support our relationships with strategic partners and
provide growth working capital.
Post period end
The Group closed its first multi-year Commit to Consume contract
post period end. Commit-to-Consume contracts align revenue to the
consumption of services, as is the standard in the cloud, enhancing
the predictability of future revenues.
WANdisco secured a $1.0 million, 5-year Commit-to-Consume
contract with an existing major US Telecom customer to migrate
business critical analytical data from an on-premises Vertica
system to the cloud. WANdisco's unique technology was the only
solution capable of moving the live data set to the cloud within
Azure's ecosystem effectively and without disruption. The customer
has committed to a minimum of 5PB over a maximum term of five
years. This represents only a fraction of the customer's data
estate and there is a significant opportunity for further
consumption growth for WANdisco.

$13.9m) and net cash outflows before financing of $14.4m (H1 2020:
$12.4m).
Revenue for H1 2021 was $3.4m (H1 2020: $3.6m), with an
operating loss of $18.9m (H1 2020: $17.7m), mainly due to reduced
revenue and increased operating expenses.
The Directors have prepared a detailed budget and forecast of
the Group's expected performance over a period covering at least
the next twelve months from the date of the approval of these
unaudited interim financial statements. As well as modelling the
realisation of the sales pipeline, these forecasts also cover a
number of scenarios and sensitivities in order for the Board to
satisfy itself that the Group remains within its current cash
facilities.
Whilst the Directors are confident in the Group's ability to
grow revenue, the Board's sensitivity modelling (which considered
the impact of Brexit and COVID-19) shows that the Group can remain
within its facilities in the event that revenue growth is delayed
(i.e. revenues do not increase from the level reported in 2020) for
a period in excess of twelve months. The Directors' financial
forecasts and operational planning and modelling also include the
actions, under the control of the Group, that they could take to
further significantly reduce the cost base during the coming year
in the event that longer-term revenues were set to remain
consistent with the level reported in 2020. On the basis of this
financial and operational modelling, the Directors believe that the
Group has the capability and the operational agility to react
quickly, cut further costs from the business and ensure that the
cost base of the business is aligned with its revenue and funding
scale.
As a consequence, the Directors have a reasonable expectation
that the Group can continue to operate within its existing
facilities and be able to meet its commitments and discharge its
liabilities in the normal course of business for a period not less
than twelve months from the date of approval of these interim
financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going
concern basis in preparing the Group financial statements.
c Functional and presentational currency
The interim consolidated financial statements are presented in
US dollars, as the revenue for the Group is predominately derived
in this currency. Billings to the Group's customers during the
period by WANdisco, Inc. were all in US dollars with certain costs
being incurred by WANdisco International Limited in sterling and
WANdisco, Pty Ltd in Australian dollars. All financial information
has been rounded to the nearest thousand US dollars unless
otherwise stated.
d Alternative performance measures
The Group uses a number of alternative performance measures
("APMs") which are non-IFRS measures to monitor the performance of
its operations. The Group believes these APMs provide useful
historical financial information to help investors and other
stakeholders evaluate the performance of the business and are
measures commonly used by certain investors for evaluating the
performance of the Group. In particular, the Group uses APMs which
reflect the underlying performance on the basis that this provides
a more relevant focus on the core business performance of the Group
and aligns with our KPIs. Adjusted results exclude certain items
because if included, these items could distort the understanding of
our performance for the period and the comparability between
periods. The Group has been using the following APMs on a
consistent basis and they are defined and reconciled as
follows:
2. Basis of preparation (continued)
d Alternative performance measures (continued)
- Cash overheads: Operating expenses adjusted for: depreciation,
amortisation, capitalisation of development expenditure and equity
-- settled share-based payment. See Note 4 for a reconciliation.
- Adjusted EBITDA: Operating loss adjusted for: depreciation, amortisation
and equity -- settled share-based payment. See Note 4 for a reconciliation.
e Use of judgements and estimates
In preparing these Financial statements, management has made
judgements and estimates that affect the application of the Group's
accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
The significant judgements made by management in applying the
Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation
uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual
financial statements.
3. Revenue and segmental analysis
a Operating segments
The Directors consider there to be one operating segment, being
that of development and sale of licences for software and related
maintenance and support.
b Geographical segments
The Group recognises revenue in three geographical regions based
on the location of customers, as set out in the following
table:
