PRESS RELEASE


Blackbaud Announces 2020 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results
Fourth Quarter Recurring Revenue Increases 4.4% Year Over Year;
2021 Financial Outlook will be Provided on Earnings Conference Call
Charleston, S.C. (February 8, 2021) - Blackbaud (NASDAQ: BLKB), the world's leading cloud software company powering social good, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2020.
"We finished the year strong with fourth quarter results that showcase our ability to operationally scale through a balance of revenue growth and significantly improved profitability, and I want to say thank you to our employees for stepping up in a big way this year to support each other, our customers, our communities and Blackbaud," said Mike Gianoni, president and CEO, Blackbaud. "Without a doubt, 2020 tested the industry and underscored the resiliency of our over 45,000 customers as they serve such a critical role in solving the challenges we face as a society. This past year put a spotlight on the need for digital capabilities as social good organizations worked to pivot their own operations and strategic roadmaps to ensure they continue to deliver on their missions in the current environment. Looking ahead to 2021, I'm increasingly optimistic about the opportunity in front of us. We are already underway executing against our own strategic plan that will move us further toward our long-term aspirational goal of achieving the Rule of 40 through a balance of revenue growth and improved profitability, and we believe our fourth quarter results are a solid early indicator that over time this goal is within our reach."
Fourth Quarter 2020 Results Compared to Fourth Quarter 2019 Results:
Total GAAP revenue was $242.6 million, up 2.0%, with $229.5 million in GAAP recurring revenue, up 4.4%.
Total non-GAAP revenue was $242.6 million, up 1.9%, with $229.5 million in non-GAAP recurring revenue, up 4.3%.
Non-GAAP organic recurring revenue increased 4.3%.
GAAP loss from operations was $0.9 million, with GAAP operating margin of (0.4)%, a decrease of 190 basis points.
Non-GAAP income from operations was $58.3 million, with non-GAAP operating margin of 24.0%, an increase of 910 basis points.
GAAP net loss was $13.6 million, with GAAP diluted loss per share of $0.28, down $0.31 per share.
Non-GAAP net income was $42.0 million, with non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.85, up $0.34 per share.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was $68.9 million, up $25.2 million, with non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin of 28.4%.
Non-GAAP free cash flow was $24.8 million, a decrease of $21.3 million.
"Strong performance in year-end giving for many of our customers drove record transaction volumes and highlights the resilience of the market as we head into 2021," said Tony Boor, executive vice president and CFO. "Our early cost actions in response to the pandemic allowed us to continue making critical investments in the business in areas like engineering, security, our continued shift of cloud infrastructure to third party cloud service providers, and the maturation of our go-to-market strategy. We have a significant opportunity to leverage investments in digital marketing to reduce our customer acquisition cost and increase our sales velocity, ultimately driving a more scalable and cost-effective go-to-market model. As we plan for a more flexible future of work at Blackbaud, we're exiting the year having reduced our real estate footprint by roughly half, which drove approximately $16 million of one-time

PRESS RELEASE
expense reflected in our non-GAAP adjustments and a cash outlay of $20 million in the quarter. This is expected to generate substantial cost savings going forward. In light of our heightened focus on operational efficiency and flexible workforce strategy going forward, we also revisited elements of     our tax planning strategy and wrote off certain tax assets resulting in an increase in our effective tax rate for the fourth quarter that will not repeat in 2021. This tax impact is also reflected in our non-GAAP adjustments for the quarter. Looking ahead, there are significant opportunities in front of us to strengthen the business and elevate our financial profile, and we believe that steady execution against the Rule of 40 financial framework, paired with our updated capital deployment strategy, will drive substantial shareholder value."

PRESS RELEASE
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Blackbaud has provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This information includes non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP recurring revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. Blackbaud has acquired businesses whose net tangible assets include deferred revenue. In accordance with GAAP reporting requirements, Blackbaud recorded write-downs of deferred revenue to fair value, which resulted in lower recognized revenue. Both on a quarterly and year-to-date basis, the revenue for the acquired businesses is deferred and typically recognized over a one-year period, so Blackbaud's GAAP revenues for the one-year period after the acquisitions will not reflect the full amount of revenues that would have been reported if the acquired deferred revenue was not written down to fair value. The non-GAAP measures described above reverse the acquisition-related deferred revenue write-downs so that the full amount of revenue booked by the acquired companies is included, which Blackbaud believes provides a more accurate representation of a revenue run-rate in a given period. In addition to reversing write-downs of acquisition-related deferred revenue, non-GAAP financial measures discussed above exclude the impact of certain items that Blackbaud believes are not directly related to its performance in any particular period, but are for its long-term benefit over multiple periods.
In addition, Blackbaud uses non-GAAP organic revenue growth, non-GAAP organic revenue growth on a constant currency basis and non-GAAP organic recurring revenue growth, in analyzing its operating performance. Blackbaud believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, for evaluating the periodic growth of its business on a consistent basis. Each of these measures excludes incremental acquisition-related revenue attributable to companies acquired in the current fiscal year. For companies acquired in the immediately preceding fiscal year, each of these measures reflects presentation of full-year incremental non-GAAP revenue derived from such companies as if they were combined throughout the prior period, and it includes the non-GAAP revenue attributable to those companies, as if there were no acquisition-related write-downs of acquired deferred revenue to fair value as required by GAAP. In addition, each of these measures excludes prior period revenue associated with divested businesses. The exclusion of the prior period revenue is to present the results of the divested businesses within the results of the combined company for the same period of time in both the prior and current periods. Blackbaud believes this presentation provides a more comparable representation of its current business’ organic revenue growth and revenue run-rate
Rule of 40 is defined as non-GAAP organic revenue growth plus non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP net income plus interest, net; income tax provision; depreciation; amortization of intangible assets from business combinations; amortization of software development costs; acquisition-related deferred revenue write-down; stock-based compensation; acquisition-related integration costs; acquisition-related expenses; employee severance; and restructuring and other real estate activities.
Non-GAAP free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures, including costs required to be capitalized for software development, and capital expenditures for property and equipment.
Blackbaud uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating Blackbaud's ongoing operational performance. Blackbaud believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect Blackbaud's ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparison and analysis of trends in its business. In addition, Blackbaud believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides additional information for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing its financial results from period-to-period with other companies in Blackbaud's industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to differences in the exact method of calculation between companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared

(1)Non-GAAP acquisition-related revenue excludes incremental acquisition-related revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP that is attributable to companies acquired in the current fiscal year. For companies acquired in the immediately preceding fiscal year, non-GAAP acquisition-related revenue reflects presentation of full-year incremental non-GAAP revenue derived from such companies, as if they were combined throughout the prior period, and it includes the non-GAAP revenue from the acquisition-related deferred revenue write-down attributable to those companies.
(2)Non-GAAP organic revenue for the prior year periods presented herein may not agree to non-GAAP organic revenue presented in the respective prior period quarterly financial information solely due to the manner in which non-GAAP organic revenue growth is calculated.
(3)To determine non-GAAP organic revenue growth on a constant currency basis, revenues from entities reporting in foreign currencies were translated to U.S. Dollars using the comparable prior period's quarterly weighted average foreign currency exchange rates. The primary foreign currencies creating the impact are the Australian Dollar, British Pound, Canadian Dollar and EURO.

(1)During the third quarter of 2020, we reduced the estimated useful lives of our operating lease right-of-use assets for certain of our office locations we expected to exit. For these same office locations, we also reduced the estimated useful lives of certain facilities-related fixed assets, which resulted in an increase in depreciation expense. The accelerated portions of the fixed asset depreciation expense related to these activities of $3.2 million and $4.6 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, was presented in the "Restructuring and other real estate activities" line of the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. Total depreciation expense for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020 was $6.9 million and $19.2 million, respectively.
(2)Includes amortization expense related to software development costs and amortization expense from capitalized cloud computing implementation costs.
(3)Measured by non-GAAP organic revenue growth plus non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin. See Non-GAAP organic revenue growth table above.
