NEW YORK, Feb. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — LivePerson, Inc. (NASDAQ: LPSN) (“LivePerson” the “Company”, “we” or “us”), the enterprise leader in digital customer conversations, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023.
Fourth Quarter Highlights
Total revenue was $95.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, above the midpoint of our prior guidance and a decrease of 22.1% as compared to the same period last year driven by our exit of lower-margin and non-core business lines.
LivePerson signed 62 deals in total for the fourth quarter, consisting of 16 new and 46 existing customer contracts, including 3 seven-figure deals. Trailing-twelve-months average revenue per enterprise and mid-market customer increased 11.9% for the fourth quarter to $610,000, up from approximately $545,000 for the comparable prior-year period. Beginning with the second quarter of 2022, in order to provide a more consistent and meaningful measure of ARPC, we started calculating this metric using only B2B Core recurring revenue, which is consistent with the revenue base for calculating Net Revenue Retention.
“This is a critical time in LivePerson’s history, and I’m honored to be leading the company through its transformation by driving results through improved commercial and operational execution,” said CEO John Sabino. “There is a multi-billion dollar market opportunity ahead of us as we execute on our go-to-market strategy, lean into our product’s integration and orchestration capabilities, and strengthen our capital structure. I am excited to share that these operational initiatives are already underway, and I am confident they will place LivePerson on a path to profitable growth.”
“I’m excited to partner with John on the path ahead and I share the board’s confidence in his leadership,” said CFO and COO John Collins. “The rapid growth in our market, coupled with repeated validation of our product by customers, investors, and third party research, makes it clear that LivePerson has a compelling growth opportunity following the rebuild of its sales and customer success motion.”
Customer Expansion
During the fourth quarter, the Company signed 62 total deals for the quarter, including 3 seven-figure deals, 46 expansion & renewals and 16 new logo deals. New logo deals included:
A globally recognized designer;A major telecom services provider in Southeast Asia, through a partnership; andA leading personal loan provider, through a partnership.
The Company also expanded/renewed business with:
Several financial services companies including one of the world’s largest banks, a large U.K. financial services provider, a growing U.S. credit card issuer, a major U.S. credit union, and a large Australian retail bank; as well asA leading U.K. connectivity provider;A large U.S. luxury jewelry company; andA leading technology company.
Net Loss and Adjusted Operating Loss
Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $40.5 million or $0.48 per share, as compared to a net loss of $41.7 million or $0.55 per share for the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted operating loss, a non-GAAP financial metric, for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $4.0 million, as compared to a $16.1 million adjusted operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted operating loss excludes amortization of purchased intangibles and finance leases, stock-based compensation expense, other litigation, consulting and other employee costs, restructuring costs, impairment of goodwill, impairment of intangibles and other assets, gain on divestiture, leadership transition costs, contingent earn-out adjustments, IT transformation costs, acquisition and divestiture costs, interest (income) expense, and other (income) expense.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $3.7 million as compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $5.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA excludes amortization of purchased intangibles and finance leases, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation, other litigation, consulting and other employee costs, restructuring costs, impairment of goodwill, impairment of intangibles and other assets, leadership transition costs, IT transformation costs, gain on divestiture, contingent earn-out adjustments, provision for income taxes, acquisition and divestiture costs, interest (income) expense, and other (income) expense.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release. An explanation of the non-GAAP financial measures and how they are calculated is included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company’s cash balance was $210.8 million at December 31, 2023, as compared to $391.8 million at December 31, 2022.
Financial Expectations
The following forward-looking measures and the underlying assumptions involve significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and actual results may vary materially from these forward-looking measures. The Company does not present a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures (or otherwise present such forward-looking GAAP measures) because it is impractical to forecast certain items without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting, within a reasonable range, the occurrence and financial impact of and the periods in which such items may be recognized. In particular, these non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items, including amortization of purchased intangibles and finance leases, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation, other litigation, consulting and other employee costs, restructuring costs, impairment of goodwill, impairment of intangibles and other assets, leadership transition costs, gain on divestiture, contingent earn-out adjustments, provision for income taxes, IT transformation costs, acquisition and divestiture costs, interest (income) expense, and other (income) expense, which depend on future events that the Company is unable to predict. Depending on the size of these items, they could have a significant impact on the Company’s GAAP financial results.
For the full year 2024, we expect total revenue to range from $300M – $315M or (24)% to (20)% year over year (excluding $7.2M of Kasamba revenue generated in Q1 2023). In addition, we expect B2B Core recurring revenue to represent 92% of total revenue. For the full year 2024, we expect adjusted EBITDA to range from $15M to $26M, or a margin of 5.0% to 8.3%.
For the first quarter, we expect total revenue to range from $79M – $83M or (21)% to (17)% year over year (excluding $7.2M of Kasamba revenue generated in Q1 2023). We expect B2B Core recurring revenue to represent 92% of total revenue. For the first quarter, we expect adjusted EBITDA to range from $(2) to $2M, or a margin of (2.5)% to 2.4%.
For the tables below, year-over-year growth rates are on a like-for-like basis (excluding $7.2M of Kasamba contribution from Q1 2023).

Lyntris Completes CDR for KSAT Hyperion Satellite Program

Tri-band RF system advances for KSAT’s next-generation HYPER relay network
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lyntris Inc. (NYSE: LYNX), a defense technology company delivering sense-to-act connectivity solutions for the modern connected battlespace has completed Critical Design Review (CDR) for the tri-band antenna system in development for Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT)’s two-satellite Hyperion mission, marking a key milestone as the program advances toward hardware integration, qualification, and flight.
Hyperion is the pathfinder for HYPER, KSAT’s next-generation hybrid RF and optical relay network designed to extend global connectivity into orbit. The architecture will enable spacecraft to move mission data through relay satellites when direct ground-station access is unavailable, reducing latency and increasing access to time-sensitive information.
Delivering tri-band performance in a single antenna system is a demanding engineering problem. Each frequency band has to be tightly controlled — filtering out unwanted signals, isolating the bands from each other, and minimizing signal loss. But optimizing for one band can easily degrade performance in another. Meeting those requirements for all three simultaneously, inside a compact, space-qualified envelope, leaves little room for error.
That difficulty compounds when the design moves from RF engineering into flight hardware, and the completed system then has to be validated in test facilities capable of characterizing performance across all three bands at once, a capability few organizations maintain in-house.
Completion of CDR as planned demonstrates the technical maturity of the design and reflects the close engineering partnership between Lyntris and KSAT as both teams move toward flight hardware.
Lyntris brings RF engineering, manufacturing, system integration, and multi-band testing together under one roof. That combination — along with proprietary design and process IP — is what allows a design as demanding as the tri-band antenna to move from requirements to flight hardware.
“Hyperion is an important step toward a more connected and resilient space architecture,” said Madison Dye, Lyntris’ Vice President of C5ISR. “We’re proud to partner with KSAT and provide the advanced RF technology needed to make that architecture work. Completing CDR on schedule demonstrates our ability to move complex antenna systems from requirements to flight-ready hardware with speed and discipline.”
