Financial Outlook

Coveo anticipates SaaS Subscription Revenue(1), Total Revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA(2) for Q1 FY’25 and fiscal year 2025 to be in the following ranges.

Full Year FY’25

SaaS Subscription Revenue(1)

$30.2 – $30.5 million

$126.0 – $130.0 million

Total Revenue

$31.8 – $32.1 million

$133.0 – $138.0 million

Adjusted EBITDA(2)

($2.2) – ($2.7) million

$0.0 – $4.0 million

The company anticipates to achieve positive cash flow from operations of approximately $10 million for Fiscal 2025.

These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Coveo’s outlook constitutes “financial outlook” within the meaning of applicable securities laws and is provided for the purpose of, among other things, assisting investors and others in understanding certain key elements of our expected financial results, as well as our objectives, strategic priorities and business outlook, and in obtaining a better understanding of our anticipated operating environment. Investors and others are cautioned that it may not be appropriate for other purposes. Please refer to the “Forward-Looking Information” section below for additional information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements and a description of the assumptions underlying same.

Launch of a Substantial Issuer Bid

Coveo announced today the launch of a substantial issuer bid (the “SIB”) pursuant to which Coveo will offer to purchase for cancellation up to C$50 million of its subordinate voting shares (the “Subordinate Voting Shares”). Holders of multiple voting shares of the Company (the “Multiple Voting Shares”) will be entitled to tender the Subordinate Voting Shares underlying their Multiple Voting Shares in the SIB. The SIB will commence on June 4, 2024 and expire on July 10, 2024, unless extended, varied or withdraw (the “Expiry Date”). The Company also announced that subject to market and other conditions and regulatory approvals, following completion of the SIB, it intends to apply to the Toronto Stock Exchange to renew its normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB”). Further details on the renewed NCIB will be provided in due course.

The SIB will proceed by way of a “modified Dutch auction”. Holders of Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares wishing to tender to the SIB will be entitled to do so (i) by making an auction tender for a specified number of Subordinate Voting Shares at a price of not less than C$7.70 and not more than C$9.25 per Subordinate Voting Share, in increments of C$0.10 per Subordinate Voting Share; or (ii) by making a purchase price tender without specifying a price per Subordinate Voting Share, but rather agreeing to have a specified number of Subordinate Voting Shares purchased at the purchase price to be determined by the auction tenders. Shareholders who validly deposit Subordinate Voting Shares or Multiple Voting Shares without specifying the method in which they are tendering such shares will be deemed to have made a purchase price tender. The SIB does not provide shareholders with the opportunity to tender their Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to proportionate tenders. Multiple Voting Shares taken up by the Company will be converted into Subordinate Voting Shares on a one-for-one basis immediately prior to take up. All Subordinate Voting Shares purchased by the Company under the SIB will be cancelled.

The board of directors of Coveo (the “Board”) believes that the SIB is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders given, among other things, its significant level of cash on hand, expectations around cash flow from operations, and the current market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares, which the Board believes does not currently reflect the fundamental value of the Company. The Company intends to fund the SIB with cash on hand.

The price range offered for the Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to the SIB represents an approximately nil to 20% premium to the closing price of the Subordinate Voting Shares on the TSX on May 31, 2024, the last trading day prior to the date of filing of the Offer Documents (as defined below) on SEDAR+. Over the 12-month period ended May 31, 2024, the closing prices of the Subordinate Voting Shares on the TSX have ranged from a low of C$7.55 to a high of C$12.48.

The SIB is optional for all shareholders, who are free to choose whether to participate, how many Subordinate Voting Shares or Multiple Voting Shares to tender and, in the case of auction tenders, at what price to tender within the specified range. Any shareholder who does not deposit any Subordinate Voting Shares or Multiple Voting Shares (or whose shares are not repurchased under the SIB) will realize a proportionate increase in its equity interest in the Company, to the extent that Subordinate Voting Shares are purchased under the SIB.

As of the date hereof, we have not been made aware that any of Coveo’s principal shareholders (i.e. a shareholder that owns 10% or more of the voting rights associated to all of Coveo’s issued and outstanding shares) intends to deposit Subordinate Voting Shares or Multiple Voting Shares under the SIB.

The final purchase price to be paid by Coveo for each validly deposited Subordinate Voting Share and Multiple Voting Share will be determined upon expiry of the SIB and will be based on the number of Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares validly deposited pursuant to auction tenders and purchase price tenders, and the prices specified by shareholders making auction tenders. As a result, Coveo’s shareholders who tender their Subordinate Voting Shares and/or Multiple Voting Shares will set the purchase price for the SIB. The purchase price will be the lowest price (which will not be more than C$9.25 per Subordinate Voting Share and not less than C$7.70 per Subordinate Voting Share) that enables Coveo to purchase Subordinate Voting Shares up to the maximum amount available for auction tenders and purchase price tenders, determined in accordance with the terms of the SIB. Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares validly deposited at or below the purchase price as finally determined by Coveo will be purchased at such purchase price. Subordinate Voting Shares that will not be taken up in connection with the SIB, including Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares deposited pursuant to auction tenders at prices above the purchase price, will be returned to the shareholders. If the aggregate purchase price for Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares validly tendered pursuant to auction tenders and purchase price tenders is greater than the amount available for auction tenders and purchase price tenders, Coveo will purchase Subordinate Voting Shares from the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares and Multiple Voting Shares who made valid purchase price tenders or tendered at or below the purchase price as finally determined by Coveo on a pro rata basis. “Odd lot” holders (holders of fewer than 100 Subordinate Voting Shares) will not be subject to proration.

The formal offer to purchase, issuer bid circular, letter of transmittal, notice of guaranteed delivery and other related documents (collectively, the “Offer Documents”), which Offer Documents collectively contain the terms and conditions of the SIB, instructions for tendering Subordinate Voting Shares and/or Multiple Voting Shares, and the factors considered by Coveo and the Board in making its decision to approve and launch the SIB, among other things, are being filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada today and are expected to be mailed on June 4, 2024 to registered shareholders and holders of securities convertible into, exchangeable for, or that carry the right to acquire Subordinate Voting Shares or Multiple Voting Shares prior to the Expiry Date. The Offer Documents will be available under Coveo’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

The SIB will not be conditional upon any minimum number of Subordinate Voting Shares being tendered and will be subject to conditions customary for transactions of this nature. The SIB will, however, be subject to other conditions described in the Offer Documents and Coveo reserves the right, subject to applicable laws, to withdraw, extend or vary the SIB, if, at any time prior to the payment of deposited Subordinate Voting Shares, certain events occur.

The Company has engaged RBC Capital Markets as financial advisor and dealer manager for the SIB and TSX Trust Company (Canada) to act as depositary for the SIB.

The Board approved the making of the SIB, the size of the SIB and the purchase price range for Subordinate Voting Shares. However, none of the Company, the Board, the dealer manager or the depositary makes any recommendation to shareholders as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering any or all of their Subordinate Voting Shares or Multiple Voting Shares to the SIB. Shareholders are urged to carefully evaluate all information in the Offer Documents, consult their own financial, legal, investment, accounting and tax advisors and make their own decisions as to whether to deposit Subordinate Voting Shares or Multiple Voting Shares under the SIB and, if so, how many such shares to deposit and at what price or prices.

This press release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell the Company’s shares. The solicitation and the offer to buy the Subordinate Voting Shares is being made only pursuant to the Offer Documents, which contain full details of the SIB.

Any questions or requests for information may be directed to TSX Trust Company (Canada), as the depositary for the SIB, at 1-800-387-0825 (Toll Free – North America), (416) 682-3860 or shareholderinquiries@tmx.com, or to RBC Capital Markets, as dealer manager for the SIB, at CoveoSIB@rbccm.com.

Non-IFRS Measures and Ratios

Coveo’s annual audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The information presented in this press release includes non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, namely (i) Adjusted Operating Loss; (ii) Adjusted EBITDA; (iii) Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Product Gross Profit, and Adjusted Professional Services Gross Profit (collectively referred to as our “Adjusted Gross Profit Measures”); (iv) Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Product Gross Margin, and Adjusted Professional Services Gross Margin (collectively referred to as our “Adjusted Gross Margin Measures”); (v) Adjusted Sales and Marketing Expenses, Adjusted Research and Product Development Expenses, and Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses (collectively referred to as our “Adjusted Operating Expense Measures”); and (vi) Adjusted Sales and Marketing Expenses (%), Adjusted Research and Product Development Expenses (%), and Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses (%) (collectively referred to as our “Adjusted Operating Expense (%) Measures”). These measures and ratios are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures and ratios are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the company’s results of operations from management’s perspective.

Accordingly, these measures and ratios should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the company’s financial information reported under IFRS. Adjusted Operating Loss, Adjusted EBITDA, the Adjusted Gross Profit Measures, the Adjusted Gross Margin Measures, the Adjusted Operating Expense Measures, and the Adjusted Operating Expense (%) Measures are used to provide investors with supplemental measures and ratios of the company’s operating performance and thus highlight trends in Coveo’s core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures and ratios. The company’s management also believes that securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS financial measures and ratios in the evaluation of issuers. Coveo’s management uses non-IFRS financial measures and ratios in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, and to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts.        

See the “Non-IFRS Measures” section of our MD&A for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, which is available as of the date hereof under our profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca for a description of these measures. Please refer to the financial tables appended to this press release for additional information including a reconciliation of (i) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Loss to operating loss and net loss; (ii) Adjusted Gross Profit to gross profit; (iii) Adjusted Product Gross Profit to product gross profit; (iv) Adjusted Professional Services Gross Profit to professional services gross profit; (v) Adjusted Sales and Marketing Expenses to sales and marketing expenses; (vi) Adjusted Research and Product Development Expenses to research and product development expenses; and (vii) Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses to general and administrative expenses.

Key Performance Indicators

This press release refers to “SaaS Subscription Revenue” and “Net Expansion Rate”. They are operating metrics used in Coveo’s industry. We monitor our key performance indicators to help us evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions. Our key performance indicators provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties frequently use industry metrics in the evaluation of issuers. Certain of our key performance indicators are measures that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers and cannot be reconciled to a directly comparable IFRS measure. Our key performance indicators may be calculated and designated in a manner different than similar key performance indicators used by other companies.

“SaaS Subscription Revenue” means the company’s SaaS subscription revenue, as presented in our financial statements in accordance with IFRS.

“Net Expansion Rate” is calculated by considering a cohort of customers at the end of the period 12 months prior to the end of the period selected and dividing the SaaS Annualized Contract Value (“SaaS ACV”, as defined below) attributable to that cohort at the end of the current period selected, by the SaaS ACV attributable to that cohort at the beginning of the period 12 months prior to the end of the period selected. Expressed as a percentage, the ratio (i) excludes any SaaS ACV from new customers added during the 12 months preceding the end of the period selected; (ii) includes incremental SaaS ACV made to the cohort over the 12 months preceding the end of the period selected; (iii) is net of the SaaS ACV from any customers whose subscriptions terminated or decreased over the 12 months preceding the end of the period selected; and (iv) is currency neutral and as such, excludes the effect of currency variation.

In this section and throughout this press release, “SaaS Annualized Contract Value” means the SaaS annualized contract value of a customer’s commitments calculated based on the terms of that customer’s subscriptions, and represents the committed annualized subscription amount as of the measurement date.

Please also refer to the “Key Performance Indicators” section of our latest MD&A, which is available under our profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, for additional details on the abovementioned key performance indicators.

Forward-Looking Information

Financial Outlook Assumptions

Notes to this press release:

(1) 

SaaS Subscription Revenue and Net Expansion Rate are Key Performance Indicators of Coveo. Please see the “Key Performance Indicators” section below.

(2) 

The Adjusted Gross Profit Measures, the Adjusted Operating Expense Measures, Adjusted Operating Loss, and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS financial measures which may not be comparable to similar measures or ratios used by other companies. Please see the “Non-IFRS Measures and Ratios” section below and the reconciliation tables within this release.

(3) 

The Adjusted Gross Margin Measures, the Adjusted Operating Expense (%) Measures, and Adjusted Product Gross Margin are non-IFRS ratios. Please see the “Non-IFRS Measures and Ratios” section below and the reconciliation tables within this release.

(4) 

SaaS Subscription Revenue earned in connection with subscriptions by customers to the Coveo core platform for the period, and thus excluding revenue from subscriptions to the Qubit platform.

(5) 

SaaS Subscription Revenue earned through subscriptions to the Qubit platform for the period covered.

(6) 

Net Expansion Rate excluding the effect of SaaS ACV attributable to subscriptions to the Qubit platform.

Liberty General Insurance Continues to Drive Insurance Awareness and Inclusion with ‘Suraksha ka Vaada Bima ke Saath’ Initiative Across Delhi and Punjab

Published

on

By

NEW DELHI, Nov. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Liberty General Insurance, one of the leading non-life insurance companies in India and the lead insurer for Delhi under the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India’s (IRDAI) State Insurance Plan, is spearheading an insurance awareness initiative in Delhi. While there are no gram panchayats in Delhi, Liberty continues to drive insurance awareness through grassroots and digital outreach.

In parallel, Liberty is fulfilling its rural and social obligations by focusing on underserved areas in Punjab. This effort includes a recently initiated awareness campaign across 400 gram panchayats in Punjab to expand insurance penetration and increase accessibility in these regions.

In Delhi, Liberty continues to create awareness under ‘Suraksha ka Vaada Bima ke Saath’ initiative launched in 2023. This October Liberty began with a Door-to-Door Campaign across North-West and North East Delhi, reaching over 1600 households in Karala Village, Budh Vihar, Kanjawala Village and Begumpur, Burari, Kanhiya Nagar, Rampura, and Jahangirpuri, achieving over 25000 impressions. Over nearly a month, Liberty’s teams engaged with residents, distributing leaflets and explaining the benefits of motor and health insurance. This campaign was followed by the ‘Nukkad Natak’ (Street Play) initiative in South Delhi, targeting key neighborhoods of Sarojini Nagar, Lajpat Nagar, Nirman Vihar, Lakshmi Nagar, and Begumpur chowk market. The street plays used interactive performances to educate communities on the importance of insurance and dispel common myths. To reinforce the message, Liberty’s team also disseminated copies of the ‘Wise Ways of Insurance’ booklet—a unique resource developed to demystify insurance products and promote informed decision-making. The booklet, which is being translated into vernacular languages, is also being distributed in other states as part of Liberty’s commitment to financial literacy across India.

Complementing its on-ground efforts, Liberty General Insurance continues to leverage social media to drive targeted insurance awareness campaigns. Recognizing that widespread mobile access allows more people to connect online, Liberty reaches both rural and urban audiences, empowering individuals everywhere with the knowledge needed to make informed financial decisions.

Commenting on this awareness drive, Mr. Parag Ved, CEO & Whole-Time Director, Liberty General Insurance said, “Our ‘Suraksha ka Vaada Bima ke Saath’ campaign is an effort in line with IRDAI’s ‘Insurance for All by 2047’ vision, towards empowering communities across Delhi, Punjab, and beyond with the financial security that insurance provides. With general insurance penetration in India still at less than 1% of its GDP, there is a pressing need to educate communities and break down the barriers to understanding the importance of insurance. Liberty will ensure that its wide distribution network makes policies accessible to all, so that every citizen—no matter where they are—can access the financial safety net that insurance offers.”

“Liberty is committed to fostering a culture of financial resilience where every Indian can feel secure about their future. Together, we are building a future where insurance isn’t just a product but a promise of protection and peace of mind,Mr. Ved added.

Looking ahead, Liberty will be rolling out a transit media campaign across South Delhi in December, utilizing branded auto rickshaws to increase visibility and connect with residents in this vibrant area of the capital. By leveraging transit media, Liberty aims to bring insurance awareness into people’s daily routines, making information accessible in familiar, everyday settings. This campaign builds on the success of previous awareness initiatives and reinforces Liberty’s commitment to educating and empowering individuals about insurance.
