Record revenue of $83.0 million and GAAP Net
Loss of $0.8 million
Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: GDYN) (“Grid Dynamics” or
“Company”), a leader in enterprise-level digital transformation,
today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30,
2024.
We are very pleased to report the second quarter 2024 revenues
of $83.0 million that was higher than our outlook range of $80.0
million to $82.0 million that we provided in May 2024. Our Retail
and Technology, Media and Telecom (“TMT”) verticals were the two
largest verticals during the second quarter of 2024 with 32.2% and
28.0% of our revenues, respectively. Our Finance vertical,
representing 15.1% of our second quarter revenues, grew 22.7% on a
sequential basis and 86.2% on a year-over-year basis. Strength in
the Financial vertical came from our finance technology and
insurance customers. Our CPG and Manufacturing vertical
representing 11.9% of our second quarter revenue increased 3.0% on
a sequential basis.
“I am happy to report that our second quarter revenue was the
highest in the company’s history, and all of it was organic in
nature. We also exited the second quarter with the highest billable
engineers in the company’s history. These strong results were due
to strength from both existing and new customers and are
commendable given the recent backdrop of the economic cycle. It is
a clear testament that our efforts to stay the course and maintain
laser focus on delivering value to our clients is paying off. Our
stated goals around the company’s growth, profitability, and
becoming a billion-revenue company remain unchanged. In many ways,
our second quarter revenue growth of 4% on a sequential basis
reflects the company’s differentiation.
“We’ve expanded our AI capabilities considerably, and now have
approximately 30 solutions and service offerings targeting Fortune
500 companies across various industries. These solutions focus on
enhancing revenue and reducing costs for enterprises. On the
revenue side, our solutions focus on innovative customer
experiences and enhanced marketing, pricing and product decisions
and on the cost side the focus is centered on efficiency
improvements and better regulatory compliance. Our broad offerings
position us well to positively impact the business results of our
customers. I am excited about all the opportunities in the second
half 2024, and I look forward to sharing all the exciting things in
the next earnings call,” said Leonard Livschitz, CEO.

sequential basis and 7.4% on a year-over-year basis.
- GAAP gross profit was $29.6 million or 35.6% of revenues in the

share, based on 75.1 million basic weighted-average common shares
outstanding in the second quarter of 2023. Non-GAAP net income was

or $0.09 per diluted share, based on 76.9 million diluted

Non-GAAP Information” below for a discussion of our non-GAAP
measures.
Cash Flow and Other

six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $22.6 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2023.
- Cash and cash equivalents totaled $256.0 million as of June 30,
2024, compared to $257.2 million as of December 31, 2023.

3,862 employees as of June 30, 2023.
Financial Outlook
- The Company expects revenue in the third quarter of 2024 to be
in the range of $84.0 million to $86.0 million.
- Non-GAAP EBITDA in the third quarter of 2024 is expected to be
between $12.3 million and $13.3 million.
- For the third quarter of 2024, we expect our basic share count
to be in the 77.0 - 78.0 million range and diluted share count to
be in the 79.0 - 80.0 million range.
Grid Dynamics is not able, at this time, to provide GAAP targets
for net income/(loss) for the third quarter of 2024 because of the
difficulty of estimating certain items excluded from Non-GAAP
EBITDA that cannot be reasonably predicted, such as interest
income, taxes, other income/(expenses), fair-value adjustments,
geographic reorganization expenses, restructuring expenses,
transaction-related costs and charges related to stock-based
compensation expense. The effect of these excluded items may be
significant.

on Thursday, August 1, 2024 to discuss its second quarter financial
results. Investors and other interested parties can access the call

Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
To supplement the financial measures presented in Grid Dynamics
press release in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company also presents
Non-GAAP measures of financial performance.
A “non-GAAP financial measure” refers to a numerical measure of
Grid Dynamics historical or future financial performance or
financial position that is included in (or excluded from) the most
directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance
with GAAP. Grid Dynamics provides certain non-GAAP measures as
additional information relating to its operating results as a
complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. The
non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be
considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or
superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with
GAAP and should not be considered a measure of liquidity and
profitability.
Grid Dynamics has included these non-GAAP financial measures
because they are financial measures used by Grid Dynamics’
management to evaluate Grid Dynamics’ core operating performance
and trends, to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of
capital and new investments and are among the factors analyzed in
making performance-based compensation decisions for key
personnel.
Grid Dynamics believes the use of non-GAAP financial measures,
as a supplement to GAAP measures, is useful to investors in that
they eliminate items that are either not part of core operations or
do not require a cash outlay, such as stock-based compensation
expense. Grid Dynamics believes these non-GAAP measures provide
investors and other users of its financial information consistency
and comparability with its past financial performance and
facilitate period to period comparisons of operations. Grid
Dynamics believes these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating
its operating performance compared to that of other companies in
its industry, as they generally eliminate the effects of certain
items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated
to overall operating performance.
There are significant limitations associated with the use of
non-GAAP financial measures. Further, these measures may differ
from the non-GAAP information, even where similarly titled, used by
other companies and therefore should not be used to compare our
performance to that of other companies. Grid Dynamics compensates
for these limitations by providing investors and other users of its
financial information a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the
related GAAP financial measures. Grid Dynamics encourages investors
and others to review its financial information in its entirety, not
to rely on any single financial measure, and to view its non-GAAP
measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures. Please see
the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most
directly comparable GAAP measures attached to this release.
Forward-Looking
Statements
This communication contains “forward-looking statements” within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are not
historical facts, and involve risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results of Grid Dynamics to differ materially from
those expected and projected. These forward-looking statements can
be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including
the words “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,”
“intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” “potential,” “projects,”
“predicts,” “continue,” or “should,” or, in each case, their
negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These
forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the
quotations of management, the section titled “Financial Outlook,”
and statements concerning Grid Dynamics’s expectations with respect
to future performance, particularly in light of the macroeconomic
environment and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as its
GigaCube strategy.
These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and
uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ
materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are
outside Grid Dynamics’s control and are difficult to predict.
Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not
limited to: (i) Grid Dynamics has a relatively short operating
history and operates in a rapidly evolving industry, which makes it
difficult to evaluate future prospects and may increase the risk
that it will not continue to be successful and may adversely impact
our stock price; (ii) Grid Dynamics may be unable to effectively
manage its growth or achieve anticipated growth, particularly as it
expands into new geographies, which could place significant strain
on Grid Dynamics’ management personnel, systems and resources;
(iii) Grid Dynamics’ revenues are highly dependent on a limited
number of clients and industries that are affected by seasonal
trends, and any decrease in demand for outsourced services in these
industries may reduce Grid Dynamics’ revenues and adversely affect
Grid Dynamics’ business, financial condition and results of
operations; (iv) macroeconomic conditions, inflationary pressures,
and the geopolitical climate, including the Russian invasion of
Ukraine, have and may continue to materially adversely affect our
stock price, business operations, overall financial performance and
growth prospects; (v) Grid Dynamics’ revenues are highly dependent
on clients primarily located in the United States, and any economic
downturn in the United States or in other parts of the world,
including Europe or disruptions in the credit markets may have a
material adverse effect on Grid Dynamics’ business, financial
condition and results of operations; (vi) Grid Dynamics faces
intense and increasing competition; (vii) Grid Dynamics’ failure to
successfully attract, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly
skilled personnel could materially adversely affect Grid Dynamics’
business, financial condition and results of operations; (viii)
failure to adapt to rapidly changing technologies, methodologies
and evolving industry standards may have a material adverse effect
on Grid Dynamics’ business, financial condition and results of
operations; (ix) failure to successfully deliver contracted
services or causing disruptions to clients’ businesses may have a
material adverse effect on Grid Dynamics’ reputation, business,
financial condition and results of operations; (x) risks and costs
related to acquiring and integrating other companies; and (xi)
other risks and uncertainties indicated in Grid Dynamics filings
with the SEC.
Grid Dynamics cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not
exclusive. Grid Dynamics cautions readers not to place undue
reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as
of the date made. Grid Dynamics does not undertake or accept any
obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or
revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change
in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or
circumstances on which any such statement is based. Further
information about factors that could materially affect Grid
Dynamics, including its results of operations and financial
condition, is set forth under the “Risk Factors” section of the
Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed August 1, 2024 and in
other periodic filings Grid Dynamics makes with the SEC.

(1)
Transaction and transformation-related
costs include, when applicable, external deal costs,
transaction-related professional fees, transaction-related
retention bonuses, which are allocated proportionally across cost
of revenue, engineering, research and development, sales and
marketing and general and administrative expenses as well as other
transaction-related costs including integration expenses consisting
of outside professional and consulting services.
(2)
Geographic reorganization includes
expenses connected with military actions of Russia against Ukraine
and the exit plan announced by the Company and includes travel and
relocation-related expenses of employees from the aforementioned
countries, severance payments, allowances as well as legal and
professional fees related to geographic repositioning in various
locations. These expenses are incremental to those expenses
incurred prior to the crisis, clearly separable from normal
operations, and not expected to recur once the crisis has subsided
and operations return to normal.
(3)
We implemented a restructuring plan during
the first quarter of 2023. Our restructuring costs comprises of
severance charges and respective taxes, and are included in General
and administrative expenses in the Company’s unaudited condensed
consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.
(4)
Other (income)/expense, net consists
primarily of gains and losses on foreign currency transactions,
fair value adjustments, and other miscellaneous non-operating
expenses, potential loss contingencies as well as other income
consists primarily of interest on cash held at banks and returns on
investments in money-market funds.
