Management Commentary

“In the third quarter we continued to make solid progress expanding Startek’s footprint across our core verticals and regions,” said Bharat Rao, Global CEO of Startek. “Due to our global operations and the relative strength of the U.S. dollar, we faced foreign exchange-related headwinds that negatively impacted our top-line results. Despite this, we made substantial progress positioning our platform for future growth through our sales ecosystem, where our team generated 10 new logo wins and capitalized on the momentum we gained earlier in the year. We expect our margins will begin to improve in the coming months as we start to ramp up services and recapture some of the loss that came with the onboarding of additional agents.

“Year-to-date, our new customer wins have outpaced where we were in the same period for both 2020 and 2021. With 28 total new customer wins, we expect our expanded client portfolio to provide a meaningful uplift to our top-line performance beginning next year. Additionally, we are catering ‘near-shore’ and ‘off-shore’ delivery to several of our new customers as part of our overall shift to drive margins through a more cost-efficient labor approach. Throughout the quarter, we secured several new partnerships and initiated pilot programs, which we believe will elevate our quality of delivered services. Our recently announced partnership with Avaya will allow Startek to leverage the OneCloud platform to deliver a combined technology and CX service solution to customers globally. Combined with our Startek Agent AI system, we are ensuring that our platform is best-in-class for both our customers and our service agents. Through the harmonization of our sales and digital partner ecosystems, we successfully executed on several growth initiatives to position Startek for long-term success through our leading platform.

“As we look forward to the end of the year and 2023, we expect the strategic investments we’ve made in our sales pipeline and marketing initiatives to pave the way for top-line growth and margin expansion. We are beginning to see the return on our investments and look forward to leveraging our expanded capacity to provide world-class service to our new customers. Combined with our focus on executing our shift towards servicing a higher mix of customers via ‘near-shore’ or ‘off-shore’ delivery, we believe we will capture incremental increases in our margin beginning next year. We will continue to leverage our technology to drive operational efficiencies and value-add capabilities to ultimately drive sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders.”

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Summary

Net revenue in the third quarter was $163.1 million compared to $172.8 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease was driven by several factors, including foreign exchange headwinds, the termination of a media client in the America’s region, and the normalization of outsized revenue from a one-off COVID vaccination support program that the Company delivered in the previous period. The decline was offset by continued strength in the Company’s telecom, financial and business services and travel and hospitality verticals. On a constant currency basis, net revenue decreased 5.7% compared to the year-ago quarter.

Gross profit in the third quarter increased by 7.4% to $23.1 million compared to $21.5 million in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin improved 170 basis points to 14.2% compared to 12.5% in the year-ago quarter. The increase is primarily attributable to the decrease in employee expenses driven by the shift of higher revenues delivered off-shore and near-shore, as well as lowered rent costs due to the consolidation of brick-and-mortar sites.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the third quarter increased to $16.5 million compared to $13.1 million in the year-ago quarter. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A increased to 10.1% compared to 7.6% in the year-ago quarter. The increase is primarily due to the Company’s ongoing investments in sales and marketing initiatives, as well as costs related to the proposed take-private transaction, which was rejected by the Company’s Special Committee of the Board of Directors on September 9, 2022.

Net income attributable to Startek shareholders in the third quarter was $0.03 million or $0.00 per share, compared to a net income of $0.08 million or $0.00 per share in the year-ago quarter.

Adjusted net income* in the third quarter increased by 41.4% to $4.1 million or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to an adjusted net income* of $2.9 million or $0.07 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA* in the third quarter was $16.0 million compared to $15.9 million in the year-ago quarter.

On September 30, 2022, cash and restricted cash increased to $61.3 million[1] compared to $55.8 million at June 30, 2022. Total debt at September 30, 2022, declined to $169.6 million compared to $170.7 million at June 30, 2022, and net debt at September 30, 2022 was $108.3 million[2] compared to $114.9 million at June 30, 2022.

[1] Cash balance excluding restricted cash as at September 30, 2022 amounted to $54.0 million as compared to $47.2 million as at June 30, 2022.

[2] Net debt excluding restricted cash balance at September 30, 2022 was $115.6 million compared to $123.5 million at June 30, 2022.

STARTEK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURE
(In thousands)
(Unaudited)

This press release contains references to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA. Reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to its comparable GAAP measure is included below. This non-GAAP information should not be construed as an alternative to the reported results determined in accordance with GAAP. It is provided solely to assist in an investor’s understanding of these items on the comparability of the Company’s operations.

Adjusted EBITDA:

The Company defines non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as Net income (loss) plus Income tax expense, Interest and other expense, net, Exchange gain / (loss), net, Depreciation and amortization expense, Restructuring and other acquisition-related costs, Share-based compensation expense, investments that investors may want to evaluate separately (such as based on fair value) and Warrant contra revenue (if applicable). Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure to analyze the performance of our business. Management believes that excluding these non-cash and other non-recurring items permits a more meaningful comparison and understanding of the strength and performance of our ongoing operations for our investors and analysts.

Adjusted EPS:

Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure presenting the earnings generated by the ongoing operations that we believe are useful to investors in making meaningful comparisons to other companies, although our measure of Adjusted EPS may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies, and period-over-period comparisons. Adjusted EPS is defined as our diluted earnings per common share attributable to Startek shareholders adjusted to exclude the effects of the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and the impact of certain events, gains, losses or other charges that affect period-over-period comparisons. Acquisition-related intangible assets are recognized as a result of the application of Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (such as customer relationships and Brand), and their amortization is significantly affected by the size and timing of our acquisitions.
