Announced Instacart as new IPN partner with revenue contribution expected to begin by end of year

DENVER, August 13, 2024 (Globe Newswire) -- Ibotta, Inc. (NYSE: IBTA), a leading technology company providing digital promotions and performance marketing solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

“Our strong second quarter results demonstrate that Ibotta’s pay-for-performance model is resonating with our clients and consumers,” said Ibotta CEO and founder, Bryan Leach. “In the current macroeconomic environment, now more than ever, CPG brands are turning to the IPN to win back market share, and that is leading to strong third-party redeemer and redemption growth. I am also excited about our recently announced strategic partnership with Instacart that highlights the expansion of our network into the promising vertical of online grocery delivery.”

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights:

Total revenue of $87.9 million, representing year-over-year growth of 14%. Excluding a one-time breakage benefit of $9.4 million in the second quarter of 2023, non-GAAP revenue growth was 29%.

During the quarter, the IPN had 13.7 million redeemers, compared to 5.3 million redeemers in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of 158% year-over-year. The primary driver of year-over-year growth was the expansion of the Walmart program (which initially launched in the third quarter of 2022 to members of Walmart’s paid



membership program, Walmart+) to all Walmart customers with a Walmart.com account in the third quarter of 2023.
Increased redemptions to 80.7 million, compared to 51.2 million in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of 58% year-over-year.

Delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $25.3 million, representing an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 29%.

Financial Guidance:

Third quarter 2024 outlook summary:

Revenue of $91 - $96 million, a year-over-year increase of 12% at the midpoint on a non-GAAP basis excluding the breakage benefit during the third quarter of 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA of $28 - $32 million, representing a margin of 32% at the midpoint.

Guidance for Adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest (income) expense, net, provision for income tax, depreciation and amortization, and excludes stock-based compensation, change in fair value of derivative, loss on debt extinguishment, and other expense, net. We have not reconciled Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income because we do not provide guidance on GAAP net income and would not be able to present the various reconciling cash and non-cash items between the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures since certain items that impact these measures are uncertain or out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted, including share-based compensation expense, without unreasonable effort. The actual amounts of such reconciling items could have a significant impact on the Company's GAAP net income.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

Included within this press release are the non-GAAP financial measures of non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP redemption revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income as a percent of revenue, adjusted diluted net income per share and free cash flow that supplement the condensed financial statements of the Company prepared under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Please see the accompanying tables for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP equivalents.

Non-GAAP revenue and non-GAAP redemption revenue exclude the breakage benefit. Adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest (income) expense, net, provision for income tax, depreciation and amortization, and excludes stock-based compensation, change in fair value of derivative, loss on debt extinguishment, and other expense, net. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenue. Adjusted net income excludes stock-based compensation, loss on debt extinguishment, change in fair value of derivative, and the related income tax effects. The income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments is the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP income tax expense. Non-GAAP income tax expense is computed on non-GAAP pre-tax income (GAAP pre-tax income adjusted for non-GAAP adjustments). Adjusted diluted net income per share is calculated as adjusted net income divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities, less additions to property and equipment and capitalization of software development costs.

The Company's management believes that these non-GAAP measures can assist investors in evaluating the Company's operational trends, financial performance, and cash-generating capacity. Management believes these non-GAAP measures allow investors to evaluate the Company’s financial performance using some of the same measures as management. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial



measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.

Key Business Terms and Notes

Ibotta Performance Network (IPN): An AI-enabled technology platform that allows CPG brands to deliver digital promotions to consumers via a network of publishers, in a coordinated fashion and on a fee-per-sale basis.

One-time Breakage Benefit: On the Company’s balance sheet, the Company has a user redemption liability balance that is an accumulation of direct-to-consumer redeemers’ account balances net of estimated breakage. Consumers’ accounts that have no activity for six months are considered inactive and charged a $3.99 per month maintenance fee (i.e., breakage) until the balance is reduced to zero or new activity ensues. Every month the user redemption liability increases by the amount credited to D2C redeemers for redemptions and is offset by D2C redeemer cash outs, actual inactivity maintenance fees, and estimated breakage. The Company estimates breakage at the time of user redemption and reduces the user redemption liability accordingly. In 2023, the Company made an update to fix a software error to correctly charge maintenance fees to all inactive D2C redeemers on a go-forward basis. This change resulted in a short-term benefit to U.S. GAAP revenue in 2023. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the breakage benefit to revenue totaled $9.4 million and $10.6 million, respectively. There was no breakage benefit associated with the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Redeemers: A consumer who has redeemed at least one digital offer within the quarter. If a consumer were to redeem on more than one publisher during that period, they would be counted as multiple redeemers. Year-to-date redeemers are calculated as the average of current year quarter-to-date redeemers.

Redemptions: A verified purchase of an item qualifying for an offer by a client on the IPN.

Redemption Revenue: The Company’s customers promote their products and services to consumers through cash back offers on the IPN. The Company earns a fee per redemption, which is recognized in the period in which the redemption occurred. The Company may also charge fees to set up a redemption campaign which are deferred and recognized over the average duration of historical redemption campaigns.
