quarter, including a data-as-a-service (DaaS) cross-sell win with
the Arkansas State Department of Education and cross-sells to
Springfield School District 186, Idea Public Schools, Hawthorne
School District, and Orleans Parish School District.
- New Product Launch: Announced the launch of MyPowerHub,
a next-generation communications platform designed to transform how
schools communicate with parents, students, and staff. MyPowerHub
offers a suite of features including student information such as
grades, assignments, attendance, and schedules, as well as
personalized notifications, event calendars, and secure messaging
through a single, seamless interface, enhancing communication and
collaboration within K-12 communities while generating significant
cost savings for school districts by eliminating the need for
multiple other software programs.
- 2024 Education Focus Report: Released the PowerSchool
2024 Education Focus Report for the 2024-2025 school year, offering
an in-depth analysis of key challenges and innovations shaping the
U.S. education landscape. Drawing from a national survey of 1,620
educators, the report provides critical insights into the evolving
needs and priorities of the education community. Key findings
include: 1) personalized learning drives student success, 2)
growing importance of AI in education, 3) bold leadership and data
utilization are key priorities, 4) evolving education workforce,
and 5) strengthening school-home connections.
- Delivering AI: Announced general availability of two
additional AI-powered solutions, PowerBuddy for Learning Student
Assistant and PowerBuddy for Data Analysis, which enhance the
educational experience and streamline data analysis:
- PowerBuddy for Learning Student Assistant: Integrated
into the popular PowerSchool Schoology Learning Management System,
PowerBuddy for Learning is a secure AI assistant designed to offer
personalized guidance and enhance the learning experience for
students. By leveraging conversational AI, PowerBuddy delivers
contextually relevant prompts that are customized to each student’s
grade level, lesson content, and assignments. This encourages
deeper exploration of topics and ensures students receive the
necessary guidance and resources aligned with district and state
standards, all tailored to their individual learning styles.
- PowerBuddy for Data Analysis: Acts as a co-pilot,
revolutionizing data analysis by allowing users to access data
seamlessly through natural language conversations. This
cutting-edge AI assistant significantly reduces response times for
data requests by removing the need for query writing, automating
data visualizations, and generating comprehensive data analyses.
These features enable educators and administrators to make
well-informed decisions with unprecedented speed and ease.
- International Product Enhancements: Launched translated
and localized products for the Middle East, which will allow
educators in the region to accomplish critical administrative,
classroom, and communication workflows by leveraging newly embedded
Arabic translations, right-to-left interface display, Hijri
calendar overlay, and more. By providing an Arabic interface,
PowerSchool aims to empower educational institutions and facilitate
learning for diverse communities.
Commenting on the Company’s results, Eric Shander, PowerSchool
President and CFO, added, “We delivered another strong quarter
consistent with our philosophy of double-digit top line growth and
margin expansion. I am confident our comprehensive suite of
mission-critical software products will continue to meaningfully
improve school district operations and drive significant long-term
value for the entire K-12 ecosystem."
In light of the proposed transaction with Bain Capital, which
was announced on June 7, 2024, PowerSchool will not host an
earnings conference call and is suspending its practice of
providing financial guidance. PowerSchool currently expects to
close the transaction in the second half of 2024.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within
the meaning of the safe harder provisions of the U.S. Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements made in
this press release that are not statements of historical fact,
including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are
forward-looking statements and should be evaluated as such.
Forward-looking statements are not assurances of future performance
and may include information concerning possible or assumed future
results of operations, including our financial outlook and
descriptions of our business plan and strategies. Forward-looking
statements are based on PowerSchool management’s beliefs, as well
as assumptions made by, and information currently available to,
them. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that
they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These
statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,”
“expect,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “will,”
“should,” “can have,” “likely,” and other words and terms of
similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or
nature of future operating or financial performance or other
events. Because such statements are based on expectations as to
future financial and operating results and are not statements of
fact, actual results may differ materially from those projected.
Factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from
current expectations include, but are not limited to: our history
of cumulative losses; competition; our ability to attract new
customers on a cost-effective basis and the extent to which
existing customers renew and upgrade their subscriptions; our
ability to sustain and expand revenues, maintain profitability, and
to effectively manage our anticipated growth; our ability to
retain, hire, and integrate skilled personnel including our senior
management team; our ability to identify acquisition targets and to
successfully integrate and operate acquired businesses; our ability
to maintain and expand our strategic relationships with third
parties, including with state and local government entities; the
seasonality of our sales and customer growth; our reliance on
third-party software and intellectual property licenses; our
ability to obtain, maintain, protect, and enforce intellectual
property protection for our current and future solutions; the
impact of potential information technology or data security
breaches or other cyber-attacks or other disruptions; and the other
factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023
(the "Annual Report"), filed with the Securities Exchange
Commission (“SEC”). Copies of the Annual Report may be obtained
from the Company or the SEC.
We caution you that the factors referenced above may not contain
all of the factors that are important to you. In addition, we
cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments
we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that
they will result in the consequences or affect us or our operations
in the way we expect. All forward-looking statements reflect our
beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this press release.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking
statements, whether written or oral, to reflect future events,
future developments or circumstances, or new information.
Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP,
we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating
our operating performance. We believe that non-GAAP financial
information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors
because it provides consistency and comparability with past
financial performance and assists in comparisons with other
companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information
to supplement their GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial
information is presented for analytical and supplemental
informational purposes only, and should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in
accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly-titled
non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation is
provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most
directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with
GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial
measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial
measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial
measures.
Adjusted Gross Profit: Adjusted Gross Profit is a
supplemental measure of operating performance that is not made
under GAAP and that does not represent, and should not be
considered as, an alternative to gross profit, as determined in
accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross
profit, adjusted for depreciation, share-based compensation expense
and the related employer payroll tax, restructuring and
acquisition-related expenses, and amortization of acquired
intangible assets and capitalized product development costs. We use
Adjusted Gross Profit to understand and evaluate our core operating
performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget,
and to develop short-term and long-term operating plans. We believe
that Adjusted Gross Profit is a useful measure to us and to our
investors because it provides consistency and comparability with
our past financial performance and between fiscal periods, as the
metric generally eliminates the effects of the variability of
depreciation, share-based compensation, restructuring expense,
acquisition-related expenses, and amortization of acquired
intangibles and capitalized product development costs from period
to period, which may fluctuate for reasons unrelated to overall
operating performance. We believe that the use of this measure
enables us to more effectively evaluate our performance
period-over-period and relative to our competitors.
Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss), Non-GAAP Cost of Revenue and
Operating Expenses, and Adjusted EBITDA: Non-GAAP Net
Income (Loss), Non-GAAP Cost of Revenue, Non-GAAP Operating
Expenses, and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of
operating performance that are not made under GAAP and that do not
represent, and should not be considered as, an alternative to net
income (loss), GAAP cost of revenue, and GAAP operating expenses,
as applicable. We define Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) as net income
(loss) adjusted for depreciation and amortization, share-based
compensation expense and the related employer payroll tax,
management fees, restructuring expense, and acquisition-related
expenses. We define Non-GAAP Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses
as their respective GAAP measures adjusted for share-based
compensation expense and the related employer payroll tax,
management fees, restructuring expense, and acquisition-related
expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted
for all of the above items, net interest expense, nonrecurring
litigation expense, provision for (benefit from) income tax, and
other one-time costs. We use Non-GAAP Net Income, Non-GAAP Cost of
Revenue, Non-GAAP Operating Expenses, and Adjusted EBITDA to
understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends
and to develop short-term and long-term operating plans. We believe
that Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA facilitate comparison
of our operating performance on a consistent basis between periods
and, when viewed in combination with our results prepared in
accordance with GAAP, help provide a broader picture of factors and
trends affecting our results of operations.
Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash Flow: Free
Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash Flow are supplemental measures of
liquidity that are not made under GAAP and that do not represent,
and should not be considered as, an alternative to cash flow from
operations, as determined by GAAP. We define Free Cash Flow as net
cash provided by operating activities less cash used for purchases
of property and equipment and capitalized product development costs
plus proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. We define
Unlevered Free Cash Flow as Free Cash Flow plus cash paid for
interest on outstanding debt. We believe that Free Cash Flow and
Unlevered Free Cash Flow are useful indicators of liquidity that
provide information to management and investors about the amount of
cash generated by our operations inclusive of that used for
investments in property and equipment and capitalized product
development costs as well as cash paid for interest on outstanding
debt.
These non-GAAP financial measures have their limitations as an
analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation, or
as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures
should not be considered as a replacement for their respective
comparable financial measures, as determined by GAAP, or as a
measure of our profitability or liquidity. We compensate for these
limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using
non-GAAP measures only for supplemental purposes.
For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the
most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see
“Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
