Digital Turbine (APPS) Q1 Earnings Beat, Revenues Up Y/Y
Read MoreHide Full Article
Digital Turbine (APPS - Free Report) reported first-quarter fiscal 2020 non-GAAP earnings of 5 cents per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3 cents. The company had reported non-GAAP loss of 1 cent in the year-ago quarter.
Revenues of $30.6 million also surpassed the consensus mark of $28 million and increased 38.2% on a year-over-year basis. The growth was primarily driven by higher revenue per device (RPD) from U.S.-based carrier partners and incremental contributions from newer platform products.
Moreover, U.S. RPD increased 30% year over year, driven by continued strong demand for the Digital Turbine platform among advertisers.
Digital Turbine’s mobile device management platform, Ignite, has gained significant traction. In first-quarter fiscal 2020, Ignite was installed on roughly 30 million devices. As of Aug 5, 2019, more than 290 million devices had Ignite installed.
Digital Turbine, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Expansion of International Partnership: A Key Catalyst
Digital Turbine continues integration with new demand sources from SingleTap partners like AppsFlyer, Branch and Kochava. Growth in devices based on SingleTap is expected to drive more international advertising partners to the platform.
Additionally, the company is expected to expand from 12 to 50 countries with its new partner, Samsung, by second-quarter fiscal 2020. The company’s credibility among international advertisers and other global OEM partners will consequently be boosted.
Further, management indicated that integration with Telefonica is expected to contribute revenues in the current fiscal year.
Operating Details
Non-GAAP gross margin expanded 900 basis points (bps) on a year-over-year basis to 40.2%, partially offset by higher-percentage partner revenue share as a few revenue partners met volume thresholds over the comparative period.
On a GAAP-basis, product development expenses decreased 10.1% to $2.79 million attributed to lower development payroll and professional service-related expenses in the reported quarter.
Sales & marketing (S&M) increased 24.1% to $2.29 million as a result of increased commissions of sales personnel.
General & administrative (G&A) expenses jumped 43.8% to $3.89 million, attributed to higher employee-related and consulting expenses.
Operating expenses as percentage of revenues declined 530 bps on a year-over-year basis to 29.3%.
