FalconStor Software Announces Second Quarter of 2023 Results

Hybrid Cloud Recurring Revenue Growth Momentum Continues

• Generated 5% increase in total GAAP revenue for Q2 versus the previous quarter
• Generated 29% increase in total hybrid cloud ARR run-rate for Q2 versus the previous quarter
• Generated 18% increase in MSP-driven hybrid cloud ARR run-rate for Q2 versus the previous quarter

AUSTIN, TEXAS (August 9, 2023) – FalconStor Software, Inc. (OTCMarkets.com: FALC), a trusted data protection leader modernizing disaster recovery and backup for the hybrid cloud world, today announced financial results for its second quarter 2023, which ended on June 30, 2023.

“Our ARR run-rate growth continued in Q2, as joint sales with IBM to deliver hybrid cloud data protection solutions to IBM customers expanded,” said Todd Brooks, FalconStor CEO. “Our joint solutions enable IBM customers across the globe to optimize data protection within each of their operating environments, whether those environments run on-premises or in the cloud, and support IBM’s strategic hybrid cloud focus. In addition, our partnership with IBM is enabling MSPs to expand the backup-as-a-service offerings they provide to IBM and non-IBM customers alike, as more and more enterprises entrust MSPs to manage their IT environments.” 

“Total revenue in Q2 increased compared to the previous quarter, but was flat year over year as we continued our shift from perpetual revenue to annual recurring revenue. However, our hybrid cloud ARR run-rate in Q2 grew by 29% compared to the previous quarter, stated Brooks. “In addition, while we materially improved our net income year-over-year, we were not profitable in Q2 and must continue to tightly manage operating expenses to produce consistent quarterly profitability as we ramp our hybrid cloud revenue. As announced in Q2, our strategic decision to deregister from the SEC will allow us to significantly reduce general operating expenses, increase net income, and increase our hybrid cloud growth investments.”
