MicroStrategy Announces

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results

TYSONS CORNER, Va., February 2, 2023 - MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR) (“MicroStrategy” or the “Company”), the largest independent publicly-traded business intelligence company, today announced financial results for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022 (the fourth quarter of its 2022 fiscal year).

“In 2022, MicroStrategy achieved total revenue growth on a constant currency basis for the fourth quarter as well as the full year on the strength of our cloud business. In the fourth quarter, current subscription billings grew at a double-digit growth rate for the eleventh straight quarter. The stickiness of our products and the long-standing tenure of our top customers is a testament to the resiliency of our business, despite ongoing macroeconomic headwinds,” said Phong Le, President and Chief Executive Officer, MicroStrategy.

“I am pleased to report we again increased our bitcoin holdings this past quarter to a total of 132,500 bitcoins. Our corporate strategy and conviction in acquiring, holding, and growing our bitcoin position for the long term remains unchanged. And while we encountered macroeconomic and foreign currency headwinds in 2022, we continue to shift to higher quality, recurring revenues as we grow and scale our cloud business. We remain intentional and precise in prioritizing costs, focusing on areas that drive revenue growth while preserving margins,” said Andrew Kang, Chief Financial Officer, MicroStrategy.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights

 

   

Revenues: Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $132.6 million, a 1.5% decrease, or a 4.1% increase on a non-GAAP constant currency basis, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Product licenses and subscription services revenues for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $45.0 million, a 1.5% increase, or an 8.5% increase on a non-GAAP constant currency basis, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Product support revenues for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $66.8 million, a 3.3% decrease, or a 1.0% increase on a non-GAAP constant currency basis, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Other services revenues for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $20.7 million, a 1.4% decrease, or a 5.0% increase on a non-GAAP constant currency basis, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.

 

   

Gross Profit: Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $105.8 million, representing a 79.8% gross margin, compared to a gross profit of $110.5 million, representing a gross margin of 82.2%, for the fourth quarter of 2021.

 

   

Operating Expenses: Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $299.5 million, a 20.8% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Operating expenses include impairment losses, net of gains on sale, on MicroStrategy’s digital assets, which were $197.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $146.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

 

   

Loss from Operations and Net Loss: Loss from operations for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $193.7 million, compared to $137.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $249.7 million, or $21.93 per share on a diluted basis, as compared to $90.0 million, or $8.43 per share on a diluted basis, for the fourth quarter of 2021. Digital asset impairment losses, net of gains on sale, of $197.6 million and $146.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, were reflected in these amounts.

 

   

Cash and Cash Equivalents: As of December 31, 2022, MicroStrategy had cash and cash equivalents of $43.8 million, as compared to $63.4 million as of December 31, 2021, a decrease of $19.5 million.


   

Digital Assets: As of December 31, 2022, the carrying value of MicroStrategy’s digital assets (comprised of approximately 132,500 bitcoins) was $1.840 billion, which reflects cumulative impairment losses of $2.153 billion since acquisition and an average carrying amount per bitcoin of approximately $13,887. As of December 31, 2022, the original cost basis and market value of MicroStrategy’s bitcoin were $3.993 billion and $2.194 billion, respectively, which reflects an average cost per bitcoin of approximately $30,137 and a market price per bitcoin of $16,556.32, respectively. MicroStrategy sold approximately 704 bitcoins for cash proceeds of $11.8 million, net of fees and expenses, resulting in gains on sale of $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Additional information on MicroStrategy’s digital asset holdings is included in the “Digital Assets – Additional Information” tables at the end of this press release.

 

   

Sales Agreement: On September 9, 2022, MicroStrategy entered into a Sales Agreement (the “2022 Sales Agreement”) with Cowen and Company LLC and BTIG, LLC, as agents (collectively, the “2022 Sales Agents”), pursuant to which MicroStrategy may issue and sell shares of its class A common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $500.0 million from time to time through the 2022 Sales Agents. During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company issued and sold 218,575 shares of its class A common stock under the 2022 Sales Agreement, at an average gross price per share of approximately $213.16, for aggregate net proceeds (less $0.4 million in sales commissions and expenses) of approximately $46.2 million. As of December 31, 2022, approximately $453.4 million of the Company’s class A common stock remained available for issuance and sale pursuant to the 2022 Sales Agreement.

The tables provided at the end of this press release include a reconciliation of the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) to non-GAAP financial measures for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. An explanation of non-GAAP financial measures is also included under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. Additional non-GAAP financial measures are included in MicroStrategy’s “Q4 2022 Earnings Presentation,” which will be available under the “Events and Presentations” section of MicroStrategy’s investor relations website at https://www.microstrategy.com/en/investor-relations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

MicroStrategy is providing supplemental financial measures for (i) non-GAAP loss from operations that excludes the impact of share-based compensation expense, (ii) non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP diluted loss per share that exclude the impacts of share-based compensation expense, interest expense arising from the amortization of debt issuance costs related to MicroStrategy’s long-term debt, and related income tax effects, and (iii) non-GAAP constant currency revenues that exclude foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. These supplemental financial measures are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and, as a result, these supplemental financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to help understand, manage, and evaluate business performance and to help make operating decisions.

MicroStrategy believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful to investors and analysts in comparing its performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis. The first supplemental financial measure excludes a significant non-cash expense that MicroStrategy believes is not reflective of its general business performance, and for which the accounting requires management judgment and the resulting share-based compensation expense could vary significantly in comparison to other companies. The second set of supplemental financial measures excludes the impacts of (i) share-based compensation expense, (ii) non-cash interest expense arising from the amortization of debt issuance costs related to MicroStrategy’s long-term debt, and (iii) related income tax effects. The third set of supplemental financial measures excludes changes resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates so that results may be compared to the same period in the prior year on a non-GAAP constant currency basis. MicroStrategy believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures can also facilitate comparison of MicroStrategy’s operating results to those of its competitors.

Conference Call

MicroStrategy will be discussing its fourth quarter 2022 financial results on a live Video Webinar today beginning at approximately 5:00 p.m. ET. The live Video Webinar and accompanying presentation materials will be available under the “Events and Presentations” section of MicroStrategy’s investor relations website at https://www.microstrategy.com/en/investor-relations. Log-in instructions will be available after registering for the event. An archived replay of the event will be available beginning approximately two hours after the call concludes.

MicroStrategy owns and has purchased bitcoins both directly and indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiary, MacroStrategy. References to MicroStrategy below refer to MicroStrategy and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

 

(a)

The “Lowest Market Price Per Bitcoin During Quarter” represents the lowest market price for one bitcoin reported on the Coinbase exchange during the respective quarter, without regard to when MicroStrategy purchased any of its bitcoin.

(b)

The “Market Value of Bitcoin Held at End of Quarter Using Lowest Market Price” represents a mathematical calculation consisting of the lowest market price for one bitcoin reported on the Coinbase exchange during the respective quarter multiplied by the number of bitcoins held by MicroStrategy at the end of the applicable period.

(c)

The “Highest Market Price Per Bitcoin During Quarter” represents the highest market price for one bitcoin reported on the Coinbase exchange during the respective quarter, without regard to when MicroStrategy purchased any of its bitcoin.

(d)

The “Market Value of Bitcoin Held at End of Quarter Using Highest Market Price” represents a mathematical calculation consisting of the highest market price for one bitcoin reported on the Coinbase exchange during the respective quarter multiplied by the number of bitcoins held by MicroStrategy at the end of the applicable period.

(e)

The “Market Price Per Bitcoin at End of Quarter” represents the market price of one bitcoin on the Coinbase exchange at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the last day of the respective quarter.

(f)

The “Market Value of Bitcoin Held at End of Quarter Using Ending Market Price” represents a mathematical calculation consisting of the market price of one bitcoin on the Coinbase exchange at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the last day of the respective quarter multiplied by the number of bitcoins held by MicroStrategy at the end of the applicable period.

The amounts reported as “Market Value” in the above table represent only a mathematical calculation consisting of the price for one bitcoin reported on the Coinbase exchange (MicroStrategy’s principal market for bitcoin) in each scenario defined above multiplied by the number of bitcoins held by MicroStrategy at the end of the applicable period. The SEC has previously stated that there has not been a demonstration that (i) bitcoin and bitcoin markets are inherently resistant to manipulation or that the spot price of bitcoin may not be subject to fraud and manipulation; and (ii) adequate surveillance-sharing agreements with bitcoin-related markets are in place, as bitcoin-related markets are either not significant, not regulated, or both. Accordingly, the Market Value amounts reported above may not accurately represent fair market value, and the actual fair market value of MicroStrategy’s bitcoin may be different from such amounts and such deviation may be material. Moreover, (i) the bitcoin market historically has been characterized by significant volatility in price, limited liquidity and trading volumes compared to sovereign currencies markets, relative anonymity, a developing regulatory landscape, potential susceptibility to market abuse and manipulation, and various other risks that are, or may be, inherent in its entirely electronic, virtual form and decentralized network and (ii) MicroStrategy may not be able to sell its bitcoins at the Market Value amounts indicated above, at the market price as reported on the Coinbase exchange (its principal market) on the date of sale, or at all.

(1)

Income tax effects reflect the net tax effects of share-based compensation expense, which includes tax benefits and expenses on exercises of stock options and vesting of share-settled restricted stock units, and interest expense for amortization of debt issuance costs.

(2)

For reconciliation purposes, the non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations use the same weighted average shares outstanding as that used in the GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations for the same period. For example, in periods of GAAP net loss, otherwise dilutive potential shares of common stock from MicroStrategy’s share-based compensation arrangements and Convertible Notes are excluded from the GAAP diluted loss per share calculation as they would be antidilutive, and therefore are also excluded from the non-GAAP diluted earnings or loss per share calculation.
