Management Commentary

  • CEO: “Subscription revenue grew 21%, hitting a record $24 million… now represents more than 60% of our total revenue… we entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by CoStar Group… we believe that this powerful combination will transform how properties are marketed, sold, and managed worldwide.” — RJ Pittman .
  • CFO: “Subscription revenue growth, gross margin expansion, and continued operating expense discipline drove our non-GAAP loss per share to $0.01… These results again demonstrate our commitment to profitability and the progress we’ve made toward achieving positive cash flow…” — JD Fay .
  • Transaction and guidance: Company will not hold a conference call, will not provide Q2 guidance, and is suspending FY24 guidance due to the pending CoStar acquisition .

Q&A Highlights

No Q1 2024 Q&A (no call held) . Context from Q4 2023 Q&A:

  • Go-to-market for Property Intelligence: two-pronged across existing enterprise/base and property marketing; initial pricing unchanged to drive adoption .
  • NDR drivers: expansion in enterprise/SMB cohorts and rising ARPA; expectation NDR can grow further .
  • Partner strategy: co-selling with Autodesk, AWS, Procore; building pipeline to accelerate scale in 2024 .
  • Product revenue/promotions: opportunistic use of demand pockets (e.g., Black Friday, Prime Day) to seed high-ARPA subscribers .
  • Pricing uplift contribution: ~half of NDR from mid-2023 price increases; rest from organic expansion; new customers at current pricing .

Estimates Context

  • S&P Global consensus estimates could not be retrieved due to a Capital IQ mapping issue for MTTR (attempted “Primary EPS Consensus Mean,” “Revenue Consensus Mean,” “EBITDA Consensus Mean” for Q1 2024); therefore, Wall Street consensus comparisons are unavailable. We attempted retrieval but no data was returned via S&P Global.
  • As a proxy, company-provided guidance from Q4’23 was essentially met on revenue and exceeded on non-GAAP EPS in Q1’24: revenue $39.9M vs $39–$41M guided; subscription $24.0M vs $24.0–$24.2M guided; non-GAAP EPS $(0.01) vs $(0.04)–$(0.02) guided .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • SaaS mix shift is working: subscription now >60% of revenue with ARR at $96M and robust KPI growth; this underpins margin and cash flow trajectory .
  • Profitability path intact: non-GAAP EPS improved to $(0.01), cash used in ops improved 81% YoY; continued operating discipline supports breakeven goals even amid hardware softness .
  • Strategic catalyst: CoStar acquisition adds scale and distribution across Apartments.com/Homes.com; expect accelerated AI/digital twin adoption in property marketplaces post-close .
  • Near-term visibility lower: guidance suspended and no Q1 call reduce transparency pending deal; monitor regulatory/timing milestones and any integration updates .
  • Execution levers: property intelligence, partner co-selling (Autodesk/AWS/Procore), and enterprise “Essentials” should support NDR/ARPA expansion and durable growth in key verticals (hospitality, facilities, construction) .
  • Watch product dynamics: hardware revenues declined YoY; while consistent with SaaS focus, it can modestly temper total revenue growth—monitor camera upgrades (Pro3, high-density scanning) and monetization of AI add-ons .
  • Trading lens: deal spread/closing risk (proxy/S-4, approvals) and absence of standalone guidance may drive event-driven positioning; fundamentals show improving SaaS metrics and operating leverage that CoStar can amplify .
