Business Highlights

Over the past year, Wejo notably:

1. Took a major step towards being fully capitalized through to our projected cash flow breakeven point in mid-2024 with the announcement of the business combination agreement with TKB Critical Technologies 1 (“TKB”). Wejo believes that upon closing the business combination, along with an anticipated PIPE raise, we can raise over $100 million. PIPE strategic investor outreach has begun, and we are making strong progress towards solidifying a base of strategic investors, including potential anchor investments, ahead of our planned institutional investor outreach. The Company is targeting to raise incremental bridge capital in early to mid-second quarter to have the funding needed to get to the completion of the TKB business combination and the PIPE closing.

2. Brought forward its targeted cash flow breakeven point from mid-2025 to mid-2024 after a 40% reduction in cash burn in 2022. Wejo also recently announced another projected 50% reduction in cash burn by the end of 2023.

3. Launched Wejo Real Time Traffic Intelligence (“Wejo RTTI”), a real-time traffic intelligence solution that can be utilized by public agencies, civil engineering firms, mapping and navigation providers, and logistics companies to get a more accurate view of real-time road conditions. These insights allow for a significant impact on road safety and congestion, while enabling more efficient vehicle routing within a community by utilizing easily digestible real-time traffic data.

4. Was awarded new business from state Departments of Transportation subsequent to the end of the year, including Texas, Georgia and Virginia. In addition to data insights, Wejo RTTI is part of the products we have committed to the state of Texas, which will provide an up-to-the-minute, accurate and comprehensive picture of traffic and road conditions at any given time, to help improve overall efficiency and safety on road networks.

5. Expanded the Company’s relationship with Ford to offer End-to-End Insurance Solutions in the United States. Wejo offerings will help the vehicle insurance industry better validate customer supplied details, identify and minimize insurance fraud, offer more accurate dynamic pricing models, and reduce risks for safer journeys and less stress on policymakers and customers.
   
   

John Maxwell, Chief Financial Officer, said, “We are making significant progress on our efforts to capitalize the business to reach our projected cash flow breakeven point. In addition to strong progress on our PIPE efforts with strategic investors, we are working to raise capital that will bridge us to these transactions. We reduced our monthly cash burn by 40% from the start to the end of 2022, and we are targeting another 50% reduction in our cash burn to get to under $3 million by the end of 2023. Our focus on reduced cash burn, the deployment of our long-term capital strategy and continued strong revenue performance are key steps to fully funding Wejo to cash flow breakeven in mid-2024.”

Guidance

Wejo's expects full-year 2023 net revenue in the range of $20 million to $30 million and Adjusted EBITDA loss in the range of $45 million to $55 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators

This release discloses the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as Net Income or Loss from operations, excluding: (1) share-based payments to employees and third-party vendors; (2) depreciation of equipment and amortization of intangible assets; (3) transaction related bonuses and costs; and (4) restructuring charges (when applicable). Other key performance indicators include: Total Contract Value (defined as the projected value of all contracts we have ever signed to-date with our customers), Annual Recurring Revenue (calculated by taking the gross Monthly Recurring Revenue (“MRR”) for the last month of the reporting period and multiplying it by twelve months. MRR for each month is calculated by aggregating revenue from customers with contracts with more than four months in duration and includes recurring software licenses, data licenses, and subscription agreements), Gross Bookings (defined as the total projected value of contracts signed in the relevant period, excluding taxes and renewal options available to customers in future periods), and monetizable vehicles on platform, Net Retention Revenue (defined as the the year-over-year revenue growth from existing customers at the start of the period over the prior rolling four-quarter period). Important information regarding such measures is contained in the definitions included in this release and in Appendix I, the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the closest comparable U.S. GAAP measure, Net loss. The Company and its management believe that this non-GAAP measure and the KPIs are useful to investors in measuring the comparable results of the Company period-over-period. Wejo does not reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA, to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measure, Net loss, due to variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections and/or certain information not being ascertainable or accessible. Wejo is unable to provide guidance for this reconciling item because we cannot determine its probable significance, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted due to the fact that these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliation to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measure for this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort.
