Forescout Technologies Reports First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Total Revenue of $57.2 million, compared to $75.6 million in the first quarter of 2019

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 11, 2020 – Forescout Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSCT), the leader in device visibility and control, today announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

“In March, the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic sharply escalated around the world, causing some customers to delay purchasing decisions in order to prioritize employee health and safety and business continuity planning,” said Michael DeCesare, CEO and President of Forescout Technologies. “As organizations have shifted to remote workforces, their network footprint has evolved but the need for visibility and control of all devices on the network remains imperative, regardless of whether devices reside within the confines of corporate offices or in remote, work from home environments. Forescout’s platform is uniquely positioned to help enterprises in today’s perimeter-less world and defend against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. We look forward to completing our pending transaction with Advent International Corporation, which will position us for long-term success as we execute on our large and growing market opportunity.”

First Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights
Revenue: Total revenue was $57.2 million, a decrease of 24% over the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on large-size deals and new perpetual licenses, as well as customer uncertainty related to our pending transaction with Advent International Corporation (Advent).
o
License revenue was $14.8 million, a decrease of 61% over the first quarter of 2019
o
Subscription revenue was $37.5 million, an increase of 11% over the first quarter of 2019
o
Professional Services revenue was $4.8 million, an increase of 18% over the first quarter of 2019
Gross Profit: GAAP gross profit was $37.6 million, or 66% of total revenue, compared to $56.6 million in the first quarter of 2019, or 75% of total revenue. Non-GAAP gross profit was $39.2 million, or 69% of total revenue, compared to $58.0 million in the first quarter of 2019, or 77% of total revenue.

Operating Loss: GAAP operating loss was $60.0 million, or 105% of total revenue, compared to a loss of $34.1 million in the first quarter of 2019, or 45% of total revenue. Non-GAAP operating loss was $31.4 million, or 55% of total revenue, compared to $17.8 million in the first quarter of 2019, or 24% of total revenue.
Net Loss: GAAP net loss was $61.2 million, or $1.26 per share, compared to $34.3 million in the first quarter of 2019, or $0.78 per share. Non-GAAP net loss was $32.5 million, or $0.67 per share, based on 48.6 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding, compared to a net loss of $18.2 million in the first quarter of 2019, or $0.41 per share, based on 44.2 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding.
Cash Flow: Net cash used in operating activities was $14.5 million, or 25% of total revenue, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2019, or 9% of total revenue. Free cash flow was negative $15.3 million, or (27)% of total revenue, compared to positive $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2019, or 6% of total revenue.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”





 
 

Transaction with Advent
On February 6, 2020, Forescout announced that it has entered into an agreement to be acquired by entities affiliated with Advent for $1.9 billion in cash, or $33.00 per share.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Forescout has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Forescout uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes that use of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing Forescout’s financial results with other companies in its industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with Forescout’s condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of Forescout’s historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit. Forescout defines non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit plus stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, and amortization of acquired intangible assets.

Non-GAAP Operating Expense. Forescout defines non-GAAP operating expense as operating expense excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, merger-related expenses, and restructuring expenses.

Non-GAAP Operating Loss. Forescout defines non-GAAP operating loss as operating loss excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, merger-related expenses, and restructuring expenses.

Non-GAAP Net Loss. Forescout defines non-GAAP net loss as net loss excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, merger-related expenses, restructuring expenses, and tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments.

Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share. Forescout defines non-GAAP net loss per share as non-GAAP net loss divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Free Cash Flow. Forescout defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. Forescout defines free cash flow margin as free cash flow as a percentage of total revenue. Forescout considers free cash flow and free cash flow margin to be profitability and liquidity measures that provide useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that, after the purchases of property and equipment, can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, and strengthening our balance sheet.
