Second Quarter 2022 Business Highlights:

• Backlog** increased more than 5.5x quarter over quarter
• Annual recurring revenue increased by more than 11x quarter over quarter
  

Management’s Remarks

“The second quarter was Otonomo’s strongest quarter yet, as we experienced significant year-over-year revenue growth as well as an increase in bookings, backlog and recurring revenue,” said Ben Volkow, Chief Executive Officer. “Following the successful acquisition of The Floow, we are already seeing exceptional results with net new customers and an expanding strategic team. We are leveraging the added value gained from its established insurance data solutions and clients. Our go-to market team is starting to show results in strong pipeline and deal volumes. This progress is not yet fully reflected in our financial results and may take longer than originally anticipated, however, our growth trajectory in our chosen markets is clear.”

“As we look to the second half of the year, we realize we can be susceptible to macro-economic headwinds, which can affect our 2022 guidance. Based on the global uncertainties in the market, the forecast for 2022 should no longer be relied upon and we are not forecasting results for the second half of the year at this time. We believe these are near-term challenges and we will remain focused on scaling our business and growing our customer base,” Ben Volkow concluded.
