MeridianLink, Inc. (NYSE: MLNK), a leading provider of modern

“Our solid third quarter performance highlights our disciplined
execution as a leading vertical SaaS company and proven ability to
deliver durable growth,” said Nicolaas Vlok, chief executive
officer of MeridianLink®. “While our performance is muted by the
current macro environment, we have skilled teams that deliver an

Operational Measures Definitions
We reference bookings, which is an internal operational measure
of the business. Bookings is defined as the total of the minimum
annual contracted value for newly sold capabilities of our
software-as-a-service, or SaaS, products over a given time period,
inclusive of any corresponding vendor fees owed to Third
Parties.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial measures presented in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we provide
certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA and
adjusted EBITDA margin; non-GAAP operating income (loss); non-GAAP
net income (loss); non-GAAP cost of revenue; non-GAAP sales and
marketing expenses; non-GAAP research and development expenses;
non-GAAP general and administrative expenses; and free cash flow.
The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to,
financial information prepared and presented in accordance with
GAAP. Rather, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures,
when viewed in addition to and not in lieu of our reported GAAP
financial results, provide investors with additional meaningful
information to assess our financial performance and trends, enable
comparison of financial results between periods, and allow for
greater transparency with respect to key metrics utilized
internally in analyzing and operating our business. The following
definitions are provided:
- Non-GAAP operating income (loss):
GAAP operating income (loss), excluding the impact of share-based
compensation, employer payroll taxes on employee stock
transactions, expenses associated with our secondary offering,
restructuring related costs, expenses related to debt modification,
charges in connection with litigation unrelated to our core
business, and expenses for services performed by a third party
consultant relating to efforts to remediate our material
weakness.
- Non-GAAP net income (loss): GAAP
net income (loss), excluding the impact of share-based
compensation, employer payroll taxes on employee stock
transactions, expenses associated with our secondary offering,
restructuring related costs, expenses related to debt modification,
charges in connection with litigation unrelated to our core
business, expenses for services performed by a third party
consultant relating to efforts to remediate our material weakness,
and the effect of income taxes, including the partial valuation
allowance, on non-GAAP items. The effects of income taxes on
non-GAAP items reflect a fixed long-term projected tax rate of 24%.
The Company employs a structural long-term projected non-GAAP
income tax rate of 24% for greater consistency across reporting
periods, eliminating effects of items not directly related to the
Company's operating structure that may vary in size and frequency.
This long-term projected non-GAAP income tax rate is determined by
analyzing a mix of historical and projected tax filing positions,
assumes no additional acquisitions during the projection period or
include the impact from the partial deferred tax asset valuation
allowance, and takes into account various factors, including the
Company’s anticipated tax structure, its tax positions in different
jurisdictions, and current impacts from key U.S. legislation where
the Company operates. We will reevaluate this tax rate, as
necessary, for significant events such as significant alterations
in the U.S. tax environment, substantial changes in the Company’s
geographic earnings mix due to acquisition activity, or other
shifts in the Company’s strategy or business operations.
- Adjusted EBITDA: net income (loss)
before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
share-based compensation expense, employer payroll taxes on
employee stock transactions, expenses associated with our secondary
offering, restructuring related costs, expenses related to debt
modification, charges in connection with litigation unrelated to
our core business, expenses for services performed by a third party
consultant relating to efforts to remediate our material weakness,
and deferred revenue reductions from purchase accounting for
acquisitions prior to the adoption of ASU 2021-08, “Business
Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and
Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers,” which we early
adopted on January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis. Deferred revenue
from acquisitions prior to the adoption of ASU 2021-08 was
recognized on a straight line basis through December 31, 2023.
- Non-GAAP cost of revenue: GAAP
cost of revenue, excluding the impact of share-based compensation,
employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions, and
amortization of developed technology.
- Non-GAAP operating expenses: GAAP
operating expenses, excluding the impact of share-based
compensation, employer payroll taxes on employee stock
transactions, expenses associated with our secondary offering,
expenses related to debt modification, charges in connection with
litigation unrelated to our core business, expenses for services
performed by a third party consultant relating to efforts to
remediate our material weakness, and depreciation and amortization,
as applicable.
- Free cash flow: GAAP cash flow
from operating activities less GAAP purchases of property and
equipment (Capital Expenditures) and capitalized costs related to
developed technology (Capitalized Software).
Reconciliations to comparable GAAP financial measures are
available in the accompanying schedules, which are posted as part
of this earnings release on our website. No reconciliation is
provided with respect to certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial
measures as the GAAP measures are not accessible on a
forward-looking basis. We cannot reliably predict all necessary
components or their impact to reconcile such financial measures
without unreasonable effort. The events necessitating a non-GAAP
adjustment are inherently unpredictable and may have a significant
impact on our future GAAP financial results.

(1) Litigation-related charges pertains to
litigation settlements and related legal fees. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred $1.5 million related
to estimated settlements of class action lawsuits and $0.4 million
related to third-party legal fees directly related to the
settlements. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we
recognized $0.2 million gain on a favorable litigation settlement.
The gain was recognized in interest and other income on our
condensed consolidated statements of operations.
(2) Restructuring related costs for the
nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are inclusive of net
acceleration (forfeitures) of share-based compensation associated
with restructuring in the amount of $0.0 million and ($0.7
million), respectively.
(3) Expenses for services performed by a
third party consultant related to efforts to remediate our
previously identified material weakness.
(4) The amounts presented for the periods
ended September 30, 2023 in our reconciliation of net loss to
Non-GAAP net income are corrected from our previously disclosed
Non-GAAP net income for those periods. The previously disclosed
income tax effects on non-GAAP items for the periods ended
September 30, 2023 were inadvertently expressed as positive
numbers, where such figures should have been expressed as negative
numbers.
