Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and the accompanying conference call contain
forward-looking statements including, among others, statements about our
financial outlook for the third quarter and full year 2018. In some
cases you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain
words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,”
“expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “likely,” “plan,” “potential,”
“predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “'will,” “would,” or
similar expressions and the negatives of those terms.
These forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties, and
assumptions that could cause actual performance or results to differ
materially from those expressed or suggested by the forward-looking
statements. If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if
any of our assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results could differ
materially from the results expressed or implied by these
forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include risks
associated with: our ability to sustain our revenue growth rate, to
achieve or maintain profitability, and to effectively manage our
anticipated growth; our ability to attract new customers on a
cost-effective basis and the extent to which existing customers renew
and upgrade their subscriptions; the timing of our introduction of new

acquiring and integrating additional businesses, products, services, or
content; our ability to maintain and expand our strategic relationships
with third parties; our ability to deliver our solutions to customers
without disruption or delay; our exposure to liability from errors,
delays, fraud, or system failures, which may not be covered by
insurance; our ability to expand our international reach; and the risks
described in the other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange
Commission from time to time, including the risks described under the
heading “Risk Factors” in our prospectus dated June 14, 2018, which was
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on June 15, 2018,
and which should be read in conjunction with our financial results and
forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements in this press
release are based on information available to us as of the date hereof,
and we do not assume any obligation to update the forward-looking
statements provided to reflect events that occur or circumstances that
exist after the date on which they were made, except as required by law.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we have
disclosed non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP
gross margin, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP sales
and marketing expense, non-GAAP general and administrative expense,
non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share,
non-GAAP shares outstanding, and free cash flow, which are all non-GAAP
financial measures. We have provided tabular reconciliations of each
non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure at the end of this release.
-
We calculate non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP research and
development expense, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, and
non-GAAP general and administrative expense as GAAP cost of revenue,
GAAP research and development expense, GAAP sales and marketing
expense, and GAAP general and administrative expense before the
stock-based compensation expense and the amortization of acquired
intangible assets included in each of the expense categories.
-
We calculate non-GAAP gross profit as GAAP gross profit before the
stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired
intangibles that is included in cost of revenue. We calculate non-GAAP
gross margin as GAAP gross margin before the impact of stock-based
compensation expense included in cost of revenue as a percentage of
revenue and amortization of acquired intangibles included in cost of
revenue as a percentage of revenue.
-
We calculate non-GAAP operating loss as GAAP operating loss before
stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired
intangibles, and goodwill impairments. We calculate non-GAAP net loss
as GAAP net loss before stock-based compensation expense, amortization
of acquired intangibles, and goodwill impairments.
-
We calculate non-GAAP shares outstanding as GAAP weighted-average
shares outstanding during the period adjusted as if (1) the conversion
of preferred stock into common stock had occurred at the beginning of
each respective period presented and (2) the issuance of 8,625,000
shares of common stock in our IPO had occurred as of January 1, 2018.
-
We calculate non-GAAP net loss per share as non-GAAP net loss divided
by non-GAAP shares outstanding.
-
We define free cash flow as net cash used in operating activities less
cash used for the purchases of property and equipment.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to understand and
compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal
budgeting and forecasting purposes, and to evaluate financial
performance and liquidity. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures
provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and
evaluating our results, prospects, and liquidity period-over-period
without the impact of certain items that do not directly correlate to
our performance and that may vary significantly from period to period
for reasons unrelated to our operating performance, as well as comparing
our financial results to those of other companies. We believe that
non-GAAP per share measures provide investors and other users of our
financial information consistency with our past financial performance.
The company has not reconciled its expectations of non-GAAP financial
measures to the corresponding GAAP measures primarily because
stock-based compensation expense cannot be reasonably calculated or
predicted at this time. Accordingly, a reconciliation is not available
without unreasonable effort.
Our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the
definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be
limited. In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar
metrics. Thus, our non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in
addition to, not as a substitute for, or in isolation from, measures
prepared in accordance with GAAP. We encourage investors and others to
review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any
single financial measure and to view non-GAAP financial measures in
conjunction with the related GAAP financial measure.
Definitions of Key Business Metrics
Core Customers
We also use key business metrics, such as core customers and net revenue
retention rate. We believe core customers is a key indicator of our
market penetration, growth, and potential future revenue. We use core
customers as a metric to focus our customer count reporting on our
primary target market segment. We define a core customer as:
-
a unique account identifier in our billing system (multiple companies
or divisions within a single consolidated enterprise that each have a
separate unique account identifier are each treated as separate
customers);
-
that is active as of the measurement date; and
-
for which we have recognized, as of the measurement date, greater than
$3,000 in total revenue during the last twelve months.
Currently, our core customer count includes only customers with unique
account identifiers in our primary U.S. billing systems and does not
include customers who subscribe to our solutions through our
international subsidiaries or certain legacy billing systems primarily
related to past acquisitions. As we increase our international
operations and sales in future periods, we may add customers billed from
our international subsidiaries to the core customer metric.
We also have a substantial number of customers of various sizes who do
not meet the revenue threshold to be considered a core customer. These
customers provide us with market share and awareness, and we anticipate
that some may grow into core customers. We believe there is strategic
value to addressing the small business and self-serve segment of the
marketplace.
Net Revenue Retention Rate
We believe that our net revenue retention rate provides insight into our
ability to retain and grow revenue from our customers, as well as their
potential long-term value to us. We also believe it reflects the
stability of our revenue base, which is one of our core competitive
strengths. We calculate our net revenue retention rate by dividing (a)
total revenue in the current quarter from any billing accounts that
generated revenue during the corresponding quarter of the prior year by
(b) total revenue in such corresponding quarter from those same billing
accounts. This calculation includes changes during the period for such
billing accounts, such as additional solutions purchased, changes in
pricing and transaction volume, and terminations, but does not reflect
revenue for new billing accounts added during the one-year period.
Currently, our net revenue retention rate includes only customers with
unique account identifiers in our primary U.S. billing systems and does
not include customers who subscribe to our solutions through our
international subsidiaries or certain legacy billing systems primarily
related to past acquisitions.
