Amber Road, Inc. (NYSE: AMBR), a leading provider of global
trade management (GTM) solutions, today announced its financial
results for the fourth quarter and full year ended
December 31, 2018.
Jim Preuninger, Chief Executive Officer of Amber Road, stated,
“Q4 was a strong quarter for Amber Road, exceeding the high end of
both our revenue and profit guidance. Strength in the quarter was
driven by accelerating subscription growth rates. For the full year
2018, I am pleased to report that we generated $3.3 million in cash
flow from operations. We also had very strong Adjusted EBITDA of
$5.4 million or a 6.3% margin, a significant improvement from
break-even in the prior year. We have built a business that is
financially strong with improving levels of profit and cash flow.
We believe in 2019 and beyond, we can continue to deliver against
these key metrics by taking advantage of opportunities in global
trade, bringing more focus to our sales and marketing efforts,
driving expansion into new markets, and returning subscription
revenue growth to the double-digit levels exiting the year.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with additional information regarding our
financial results, Amber Road has provided non-GAAP financial
measures and non-GAAP guidance within this press release including
non-GAAP adjusted operating and net income (loss) and adjusted
EBITDA, financial measures that are not calculated in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Provided
below is a reconciliation of GAAP operating and net loss to
non-GAAP adjusted operating and net income (loss), and net loss to
adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA consists of net loss plus depreciation and
amortization, interest expense (income) and income tax expense.
Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA plus stock-based compensation
and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration
liability. Amber Road has included these non-GAAP measures in this
press release because it assists in comparing performance on a
consistent basis across reporting periods, as it removes from
operating results the impact of the Company’s capital structure.
Amber Road believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to an
investor in evaluating its operating performance because they are
often used by the financial community to measure a company’s
operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation
and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods
and the book value of assets, and to present a meaningful measure
of performance exclusive of its capital structure and the method by
which assets were acquired.
Amber Road’s use of these non-GAAP measures has limitations as
an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or
as a substitute for analysis of its results as reported under GAAP.
Some of these limitations are:
- although depreciation and amortization
are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized
may have to be replaced in the future, and these non-GAAP measures
do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such
replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
- these non-GAAP measures do not reflect
changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;
- these non-GAAP measures do not reflect
the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation;
- these non-GAAP measures do not reflect
interest or tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash
available; and
- other companies, including companies in
Amber Road’s industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently,
which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these and other limitations, you should consider
these non-GAAP measures together with other GAAP-based financial
performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net loss
and other GAAP results. A reconciliation of GAAP operating and net
loss to non-GAAP adjusted operating and net loss, and adjusted
EBITDA has been provided in the financial statement tables included
in this press release.
