Innodata Reports Third Quarter 2022 Results

Third Quarter Revenue Up 6% Year-Over-Year

Strong Near-Term Earnings Improvements Anticipated

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / November 10, 2022 / INNODATA INC.
(NASDAQ:INOD) today reported results for the third quarter ended September
30, 2022.

·      Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $18.4
million, up 6% year-over-year.

·      Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $3.3
million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.8
million, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, in the same period last year.

·      Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $59.6
million, up 18% year-over-year.

·      Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $10.0
million, or $0.37 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.5
million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, in the same period last year.

·      Adjusted EBITDA loss was $1.2 million in the third quarter of
2022, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $0.7 million in the same period last
year.**

·      Adjusted EBITDA loss was $3.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $2.7 million in the same
period last year.**

·      Cash and cash equivalents were $10.7 million at September 30,
2022 and $18.9 million at December 31, 2021.

** Adjusted EBITDA is defined below.

Amounts in this press release have been rounded. All percentages have been
calculated using unrounded amounts.

Jack Abuhoff, CEO, said, "Our Q3 revenue was $18.4 million, exceeding the
guidance we provided in our last earnings announcement. We expect that Q4
revenue will show sequential improvement from Q3. Due to our rigorous focus on
costs, we expect to be Adjusted EBITDA positive in Q4, and our business plan
calls for us to achieve greater than $10 million in Adjusted EBITDA next year.

"Many of the large tech companies have launched major layoffs and cost-cutting
measures. Our large social media customer recently significantly reduced its
workforce, and as a consequence, we are seeing interruptions in the work we do
for them. We believe our work is critical to their ongoing operational goals
and anticipate that our work will likely pick up again as responsibilities of
the laid-off workers are assigned to other employees. That said, our business
plan conservatively is not dependent on this occurring."

Abuhoff continued, "Despite these relatively significant disruptions, we
managed to show 6% year-over-year growth, which, while not reflective of our
ambitions, supports our belief that our business growth engines remain intact.
Although the general economic outlook has resulted in longer sales cycles and
more levels of customer-side sign-off, we believe that our products and
services are critical to helping our clients stay competitive and achieve
their cost and efficiency goals and that increased spending on such
initiatives is a secular trend.

"Outside of these transitory issues, we believe our business continues to
build momentum. We now have 10 large customers for our AI/ML lifecycle
services which we believe will increase their spend with us in 2023, some
significantly, based on our current line-of-sight. Many of these companies
have revenues in multiple billions of dollars. In the third quarter, we
brought on four of these customers. The use cases we're landing include facial
recognition, retail anomaly detection, automation, chatbots, security
monitoring, and voice-to-text. Indeed, we're hoping to be in a position to
announce several additional important wins and expansions with these and other
customers by year-end.

"Our Synodex business - which enjoys a net retention over 150% - is also
rapidly onboarding new customers. Just yesterday, we announced two new
customer wins for our Synodex platform that we believe will together yield
approximately $1.1 million of annualized revenue. We also expanded the value
of a Synodex engagement from an estimated $1.8 to $2.3 million of anticipated
annual recurring revenue as we began ramping up the engagement this month.

"On the Agility front, we've seen a 107% year-over-year increase in our
year-to-date bookings, and we expect this trend to continue through the
remainder of the year as a result of a strong pipeline. We've also increased
our midmarket average selling price (ASP) from a year ago by 49% with large
increases in the number of deals significantly exceeding the average. And now
that we've launched our new social media listening product, which we announced
in September, we're seeing that midmarket deals incorporating this new product
are increasing ASP by 200%. To date, we have 20 customers using our new social
listening product, and we have 65 prospective customers in our pipeline.
Another significant accomplishment is that this year we've continued to expand
a new Agility customer that is now our largest-ever Agility customer. We now
value them at $628,000 of annual recurring subscription revenue. Moreover, we
are expecting this annual recurring revenue value to increase further based on
additional expansions. For this customer, we developed a new critical
awareness capability that we believe could have broad application in the
market."

Abuhoff concluded, "Consequently, we believe that the secular growth trends
underlying our business remain robust. Over the past year, we believe that we
have proven that we are well-positioned to serve the growing AI market -
helping companies that are already deep into AI with large-scale data
collection and annotation; helping companies that are now getting into AI with
model development and deployment; and building AI-enabled applications and
platforms that are blueprints for how to strike the right balance between
humans and machines. We believe that in the world ahead of us AI will co-pilot
even the most domain-specific tasks."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP
("GAAP"), we provide certain non-GAAP financial information. We believe that
these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in making comparisons of
period-to-period operating results. In some respects, management believes
non-GAAP financial measures are more indicative of our ongoing core operating
performance than their GAAP equivalents by making adjustments that management
believes are reflective of the ongoing performance of the business.

We believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial information
provides investors with greater transparency by providing investors a more
complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position, and
prospects for the future, particularly by providing the same information that
management and our Board of Directors uses to evaluate our performance and
manage the business. However, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in
this press release have certain limitations in that they do not reflect all of
the costs associated with the operations of our business as determined in
accordance with GAAP. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial
measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to,
measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further,
the non-GAAP financial measures that we present may differ from similar
non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Innodata Inc.
and its subsidiaries in accordance with U.S. GAAP before interest expense,
income taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets (which
derives EBITDA), plus additional adjustments for loss on impairment of
intangible assets and goodwill, stock-based compensation, income (loss)
attributable to non-controlling interests and other one-time costs. We use
Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate core results of operations and trends between
fiscal periods and believe that these measures are important components of our
internal performance measurement process.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP
measure is included in the tables that accompany this release.

These forward-looking statements are based on management's current
expectations, assumptions and estimates and are subject to a number of risks
and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the expected or potential
effects of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and the responses of
governments, the general global population, our customers, and the Company
thereto; impacts resulting from the rapidly evolving conflict between Russia
and the Ukraine; that contracts may be terminated by customers; projected or
committed volumes of work may not materialize; continuing reliance on
project-based work in the Digital Data Solutions ("DDS") segment and the
primarily at-will nature of such contracts and the ability of these customers
to reduce, delay or cancel projects; the likelihood of continued development
of the markets, particularly new and emerging markets, that our services
support; continuing DDS segment revenue concentration in a limited number of
customers; potential inability to replace projects that are completed,
canceled or reduced; our dependency on content providers in our Agility
segment; difficulty in integrating and deriving synergies from acquisitions,
joint venture and strategic investments; potential undiscovered liabilities of
companies and businesses that we may acquire; potential impairment of the
carrying value of goodwill and other acquired intangible assets of companies
and businesses that we acquire; a continued downturn in or depressed market
conditions, whether as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise; changes

prospective customers to execute business plans that give rise to requirements
for our services; changes in our business or growth strategy; the emergence of
new, or growth in existing competitors; various other competitive and
technological factors; the Company's use of and reliance on information
technology systems, including potential security breaches, cyber-attacks,

of consumer, customer, employee or Company information, or service
interruptions; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time
in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our actual results could differ materially from the results referred to in
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to, uncertainty around the COVID-19
pandemic and the effects of the global response thereto and the risks
discussed in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors," Part II, Item 7. "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and
other parts of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 24, 2022, as updated or amended by our other
filings that we may make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In light
of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the results
referred to in the forward-looking statements will occur, and you should not
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof.

We undertake no obligation to update or review any guidance or other
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
developments or otherwise, except as may be required by the Federal securities
