"Our outstanding second-quarter 2024 performance was highlighted by significant strategic progress and strong growth in ARR, revenue and adjusted EBITDA," said Yossi Carmil, Cellebrite's CEO. "During the past several months, we delivered against our top strategic priorities while advancing important initiatives to expand our relationship with the U.S. federal government, drive AI-powered innovation across our Case to Closure platform, and improve our capital structure and trading liquidity. We are pleased to see that our Case to Closure platform is resonating with both public sector agencies and corporations around the world, enabling us to deliver on our brand promise of Justice Accelerated and, in the process, help make our world a better, safer place. As a result of our first-half 2024 financial performance and the opportunities we see over the next two quarters, we have increased our full-year 2024 outlook and believe that we are positioned to deliver an ARR growth rate and an adjusted EBITDA margin that will achieve or surpass ‘Rule of 45' for the second straight year."

These are key steps in the Company's plans to broaden and elevate its relationships with the U.S. federal government. These actions complement and augment an ongoing investment to achieve FedRAMP authorization for Cellebrite's software-as-a-service offerings. As a result, Cellebrite moves forward better positioned to directly participate in a broader range of new programs and projects with U.S. federal customers over the longer term. Innovation and Go-to-Market On July 30, 2024, Cellebrite and Relativity jointly announced a strategic technology and go-to-market partnership that delivers cutting-edge solutions for mobile device collection, processing and review. The new solutions drastically increase efficiency by streamlining workflow while improving accessibility and usability of mobile evidence in legal data use cases. The collaboration focuses on the development and offering of a RelativityOne and Cellebrite Remote Mobile Collection and Conversion, in which Relativity is the only e-discovery provider to have direct integrations with Cellebrite Endpoint Inspector and Cellebrite Endpoint Mobile Now. Go-to-Market On June 26, 2024, Cellebrite announced that Endpoint Inspector SaaS, the Company's real-time, consent-based data access, collection and analysis solution, is now available on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace. As a result, AWS customers can quickly and easily deploy Endpoint Inspector SaaS, through the AWS Marketplace Management Portal. The AWS Marketplace also allows customers to automate billing and track payments through AWS. Team On August 14, 2024, Cellebrite announced that Troy Richardson had joined its board of directors, effective August 13, 2024. Mr. Richardson is a seasoned technology executive with more than 30 years of experience in leading, scaling and transforming global organizations. With the appointment of Troy Richardson, Cellebrite's Board of Directors now consists of 10 directors.

Shavit will focus on ensuring that Cellebrite's information technology and security organizations continue supporting the day-to-day needs of the business, respond decisively to ever-evolving cyber threats, leverage AI and accelerate innovation. Capital Markets Cellebrite's efforts to drive value creation for shareholders underpinned two major milestones: Cellebrite announced today that it is calling for redemption all of the Company's outstanding warrants to purchase ordinary shares, comprising 20.0 million public warrants (NASDAQ:CLBTW) and approximately 9.7 million private warrants after the last reported sale price of the Company's ordinary shares was equal to or greater than $10.00 per share for 20 days within a 30 trading-day period. Earlier today, Cellebrite also disclosed that 5.0 million Price Adjustment Shares will be issued and 3.0 million Restricted Sponsored Shares vested after the dollar volume-weighted average price of the Company's ordinary shares was greater than or equal to $12.50 per share for the 20th trading day within a 30 trading-day period. Supplemental financial information can be found on the Investor Relations section of our website at https://investors.cellebrite.com/financial-information/quarterly-results. Financial OutlookDana Gerner, Cellebrite's CFO, stated, "Cellebrite's strong top-line results in the second quarter of 2024 primarily reflect our ongoing success in increasing our wallet share with existing customers. Our Q224 revenue growth and disciplined management of our cost structure supported another quarter of increased profitability. We expect to build on our first-half 2024 performance as we move into the seasonally stronger second half of our fiscal year. Accordingly, we have updated our 2024 outlook, increasing Cellebrite's full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA targets and raising the mid-point of our full-year ARR expectations. In addition, we believe that today's separate announcement to redeem nearly 30 million outstanding warrants, combined with the upcoming issuance of 5 million Price Adjustment Shares and recent vesting of 3 million Restricted Sponsor Shares, further validates our strategic and financial progress over the past 18 months and advances our long-standing objectives of supporting healthy trading liquidity, optimizing our capital structure and simplifying our financial reporting."

Pertinent details include: Date:   Thursday, August 15, 2024 Time:   8:30 a.m. ET Call-In Number:   203-518-9708 Conference ID:   CLBTQ224 Event URL:   https://investors.cellebrite.com/events/event-details/cellebrite-q2-2024-financial-results-investor-call-webcast Webcast URL:   https://edge.media-server.com/mmc/p/gwesq4xv       In conjunction with the conference call and webcast, historical financial tables and supplemental data will be available on the quarterly results section of Company's investor relations website at https://investors.cellebrite.com/financial-information/quarterly-results. A transcript of the call will be added to this page along with access to the replay of the call later in the day. Non-GAAP Financial Information and Key Performance Indicators This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures. Cellebrite believes that the use of non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP EPS and Adjusted EBITDA is helpful to investors. These measures, which the Company refers to as our non-GAAP financial measures, are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide a more meaningful comparison of its operational performance from period to period, and offer investors and management greater visibility to the underlying performance of its business. Mainly: Share-based compensation expenses utilize varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and a variety of equity instruments that can impact a company's non-cash expenses; Acquired intangible assets are valued at the time of acquisition and are amortized over an estimated useful life after the acquisition, and acquisition-related expenses are unrelated to current operations and neither are comparable to the prior period nor predictive of future results; To the extent that the above adjustments have an effect on tax (income) expense, such an effect is excluded in the non-GAAP adjustment to net income; Tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense vary for many reasons that are often unrelated to our underlying performance and make period-to-period comparisons more challenging; and Financial instruments are remeasured according to GAAP and vary for many reasons that are often unrelated to the Company's current operations and affect financial income. Each of our non-GAAP financial measures is an important tool for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating our own operating results over different periods of time. The non-GAAP financial measures do not represent our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to operating income or net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolated from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. Further, share-based compensation expense has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, significant recurring expenses in our business and an important part of the compensation provided to our employees. In addition, the amortization of intangible assets is expected recurring expense over the estimated useful life of the underlying intangible asset and acquisition-related expenses will be incurred to the extent acquisitions are made in the future. Furthermore, foreign exchange rates may fluctuate from one period to another, and the Company does not estimate movements in foreign currencies. A reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP measure is set forth in a table included at the end of this press release, which is also available on our website at https://investors.cellebrite.com. In regard to forward-looking non-GAAP guidance, we are not able to reconcile the forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA measure to the closest corresponding GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of certain significant items including, but not limited to, fair value movements, share-based payments for future awards, tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and certain financing and tax items. Key Performance Indicators This press release also includes key performance indicators, including annual recurring revenue and dollar-based retention rate. Annual recurring revenue ("ARR") is defined as the annualized value of active term-based subscription license contracts and maintenance contracts related to perpetual licenses in effect at the end of that period. Subscription license contracts and maintenance contracts for perpetual licenses are annualized by multiplying the revenue of the last month of the period by 12. The annualized value of contracts is a legal and contractual determination made by assessing the contractual terms with our customers. The annualized value of maintenance contracts is not determined by reference to historical revenue, deferred revenue or any other GAAP financial measure over any period. ARR is not a forecast of future revenues, which can be impacted by contract start and end dates and renewal rates. Dollar-based net retention rate ("NRR") is calculated by dividing customer recurring revenue by base revenue. We define base revenue as recurring revenue we recognized from all customers with a valid license at the last quarter of the previous year period, during the four quarters ended one year prior to the date of measurement. We define our customer revenue as the recurring revenue we recognized during the four quarters ended on the date of measurement from the same customer base included in our measure of base revenue, including recurring revenue resulting from additional sales to those customers.
