Jack Abuhoff, CEO, said, "Q2 was another outstanding quarter. We beat analysts' expectations across the board on key metrics - revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, net income, and fully-diluted EPS. As a result of strong demand and momentum, which includes significant new deal wins across a diversity of new and existing customers, we are increasing our revenue guidance to 45% or more organic revenue growth in 2025, up from 40%. We have a robust pipeline that includes significant dollar values positioning us for a strong second half of the year. Many of these deals are not incorporated in our forecast, leaving room for possible further increases.

"Our beat-and-raise quarter underscores the critical role we are playing in the generative AI space. We expect to exceed last year's Adjusted EBITDA while investing heavily in capabilities we believe will enable us to continue our growth in the years ahead.

"In testament to our market outperformance and positioning, we earned a spot on Wedbush's industry note "The AI Revolution Theme; 30 Names to Play in the 4^th Industrial Revolution" alongside 30 public AI companies that includes several of our megacap customers. In the quarter, we, through our operating subsidiaries, won prestigious awards including the Asia Best Employer Brand Award for the second consecutive year by the World HRD Congress, Golden Globe Tigers Awards for both AI Transformation Leadership and Innovation Excellence, and the Most Preferred Workplace Award by Team Marksmen."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP ("GAAP"), we provide certain non-GAAP financial information. 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 Margin

We 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 EBITDA

We 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.
