-- Generates revenue of $118.3 million and growth of 25% year-over-year in the third quarter --
NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- LivePerson, Inc. (NASDAQ: LPSN) ("LivePerson" or the "Company"), a global leader in conversational AI, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.
Third Quarter Highlights
Total revenue was $118.3 million for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of 25% as compared to the same period last year. Within total revenue, business operations revenue for the third quarter of 2021 increased 26% year over year to $109.2 million, and revenue from consumer operations increased 16% year over year to $9.1 million.
LivePerson signed seven seven-figure deals and 102 deals in total in the third quarter, comprising 37 new and 65 existing customer contracts. Trailing-twelve-months average revenue per enterprise and mid-market customer increased 34% in the third quarter to another record high of $570,000, up from approximately $425,000 in the comparable prior-year period.
"We delivered a strong third quarter with revenue growing at 25% or greater for the sixth quarter in a row and volume on our Conversational Cloud hitting another record high. Simultaneously, we added more leadership talent across the Company, built out capacity in critical functions, and evolved our strategy for Conversational AI and Voice," said founder and CEO Robert LoCascio. "Brands are looking for a strategic partner to help them with end-to-end digital transformation that puts customers in control of their own experiences. Through the combination of LivePerson, VoiceBase, and Tenfold's technologies and expertise, we are eager to bring this unified, deeply integrated Voice and Conversational AI system to life for brands."
"We expect the acquisitions of VoiceBase and Tenfold to create glide paths to new logo acquisition and expansion within the base. By seamlessly integrating voice, messaging, and a broad spectrum of backend systems, these acquisitions also extend our AI platform's ability to deliver personalization at scale. When coupled with our go-to-market investments, we're well positioned to meet our 2022 targets and enter a new phase of AI-led growth," added CFO John Collins.

Adjusted operating loss, a non-GAAP financial metric, for the third quarter of 2021 was $33,000, as compared to an adjusted operating income of $9.1 million in the third quarter of 2020.

Financial Expectations
With third quarter financial results on target, and progress in execution on the Company's investment plan, the Company is raising its 2021 revenue guidance range to $468.0 million to $471.0 million, or 27.7% to 28.5% YoY, from previously issued guidance of $464.0 million to $471.0 million, or 26.5% to 28.5% YoY. Revenue guidance range for the fourth quarter is $122.2 million to $125.2 million, or 19.6% to 22.6% YoY.

This revision primarily reflects the new strategic asset acquisitions of VoiceBase and Tenfold, and planned investments in go-to-market capacity and product innovations designed to drive increased revenue growth in 2022 and beyond.

Includes lease restructuring costs of $24.1 million and severance costs and other compensation related costs of $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. |
(2) | Includes consulting costs of $0.7 million and litigation costs of $0.4 million and reversals of reserve for sales and use tax liability of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Includes litigation costs of $1.3 million and consulting costs of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Includes litigation costs of $3.2 million, employee benefit cost of $0.6 million, consulting costs of $1.3 million, and a reversal of reserve for sales and use tax liability of $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Includes reserve for sales and use tax liability of $2.3 million, litigation costs of $2.3 million, employee benefit cost of $0.8 million, and consulting costs of $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. |
(3) | Includes $0.2 million and $3.5 million of other income related to the settlement of leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The remaining amount of other expense (income) is attributable to currency rate fluctuations. |
(4) | Includes shares related to the 0.750% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (2024 Notes) issued in March 2019. The Company expects to settle the principal amount of its outstanding 2024 Notes and 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (2026 Notes), issued in December 2020, upon conversion in cash, shares of its common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company's election. The Company uses the treasury stock method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the conversion spread on diluted net income per share, if applicable. The conversion spread will have a dilutive impact on diluted net income per share of common stock when the average market price of the Company's common stock for a given period exceeds the conversion price of $38.58 per share for the 2024 Notes. The conversion spread had an anti-dilutive impact for the 2026 Notes, since the average market price of the Company's stock during the period was less than the conversion price of $75.23 per share. |
