Momentive Announces Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results
SAN MATEO, Calif. — November 3, 2022 — Momentive (NASDAQ: MNTV), the maker of SurveyMonkey and GetFeedback, today reported third quarter results for the period ended September 30, 2022.
“In the third quarter, we remained focused on our long-term revenue growth and profitability targets while navigating an increasingly challenging macroeconomic environment,” said Zander Lurie, chief executive officer of Momentive. “We delivered 7.6% non-GAAP operating margin in Q3, exceeding our prior guidance range, and we now expect to drive approximately 15% non-GAAP operating margin in Q4. By reinvigorating our self-serve channel, expanding our existing customer relationships, and streamlining our go-to-market motion, we expect to drive continued operating leverage in 2023 and deliver Rule of 40 financial performance over time.”
Q3 2022 Financial Highlights
Stock Repurchase Program Update
On February 28, 2022, Momentive announced its board of directors had authorized a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to $200 million of the company’s common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions (through 10b5-1 trading plans or otherwise). From the announcement of the plan through September 30, 2022, Momentive repurchased approximately 6.6 million shares of common stock for approximately $83.5 million. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s remaining share repurchase authorization was approximately $116.5 million.
Restructuring Plan
As announced in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange commission on October 13, 2022, on October 10, 2022, Momentive committed to a plan designed to improve operating margin and create efficiencies in our go-to-market motion and in other areas throughout the Company (the “Restructuring Plan”). The Restructuring Plan involves a reduction of the Company’s workforce by approximately 11%.
We estimate that we will incur approximately $4.0 to $5.0 million in charges in connection with the Restructuring Plan, consisting of cash expenditures for employee severance, employee benefits, and related facilitation costs. We expect that the majority of these costs will be incurred and paid during the fourth quarter of 2022 and that execution of the Restructuring Plan, including cash payments, will be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2022.
Potential position eliminations in each country are subject to local law and consultation requirements, which may extend this process into the first quarter of 2023 or beyond in certain countries. The charges that we expect to incur are subject to a number of assumptions, including local law requirements in various jurisdictions, and actual expenses may differ materially from the estimates disclosed above.
Financial Outlook
For the fourth quarter and full year of 2022, Momentive currently expects the following:
| Q4 2022 | FY 2022 | |
| Revenue | $120 million - $122 million | $479 million - $481 million |
| Non-GAAP operating margin | 14% to 16% | Approximately 7% |
| Free cash flow (includes impact of one-time transaction-related and restructuring expenses) | NA | $(10) million - $(5) million |
The full-year 2022 free cash flow guidance range includes the impact of approximately $33 million in one-time transaction-related and restructuring expenses - a portion of which was accrued as expenses in Q4 2021 but will result in cash outflows in 2022.
For the fourth quarter of 2022, the company expects basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding to be approximately 148 million. For the full year 2022, the company expects basic weighted average shares outstanding to be approximately 148 million and diluted weighted average shares outstanding to be approximately 149 million. The basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the fourth quarter of 2022 and full year 2022 do not include any forecasts for share repurchases after September 30, 2022. For a detailed explanation of the company’s non-GAAP measures, please refer to the appendix section of this press release.
