Tinton Falls, N.J. \u2013 July 30, 2019 \u2013<\/strong> Commvault [NASDAQ: CVLT] today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring the quarter we made substantial progress in our efforts to simplify and improve execution,\u201d said Sanjay Mirchandani, Commvault\u2019s President and CEO. \u201cOur foundation is solid and we now have the senior leadership team in place. I’m excited about the recent appointments of Riccardo, Sandra, and Ranga who will strengthen our revenue, customer success and product agendas. The recent launch of our partner advantage program is a stellar example of how our focus on simplicity and execution will benefit partners and customers. I am confident that the journey we are on, and the changes we are making, will lead the company back to growth.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 were $162.2 million, a decrease of 8% year over year and 11% sequentially. Total repeatable revenue (see Table IV) was $114.1 million, a decrease of 2% year over year. Subscription and utility annual contract value (ACV) grew 66% year over year to approximately $106 million. See Table IV for an explanation of ACV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Software and products revenue was $63.7 million, a decrease of 15% year over year, and 21% sequentially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Services revenue in the quarter was $98.5 million, a decrease of 3% year over year and 2% sequentially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a GAAP basis, loss from operations was $6.7 million for the first quarter compared to $6.8 million in the prior year. The first quarter GAAP results in fiscal 2020 and 2019 included $7.4 million and $11.4 million, respectively, of expenses related to a non-routine shareholder matter and restructuring. These expenses have been excluded from our non-GAAP results and are further discussed in Table IV. Non-GAAP EBIT was $15.5 million in the quarter compared to $22.8 million in the prior year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first quarter of fiscal 2020, Commvault reported GAAP net loss of $6.8 million, or $0.15 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $12.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operating cash flow totaled $31.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $24.8 million in the prior year quarter. Total cash and short-term investments were $451.1 million as of June 30, 2019 compared to $458.3 million as of March 31, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, Commvault repurchased approximately 830,000 shares of its common stock for $40.0 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in Financial Statement Table IV included in this press release. (Download Financial Tables)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading \u201cUse of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commvault has provided in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP income from operations margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and subscription and utility annual contract value (ACV). This selected financial information has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Commvault uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and make operating decisions. In addition, Commvault believes that these non-GAAP operating measures are useful to investors, when used as a supplement to GAAP financial measures, in evaluating Commvault\u2019s ongoing operational performance. Commvault believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing its financial results with other companies in Commvault\u2019s industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to the investment community. Commvault has also provided software and products, services and total revenues on a constant currency basis. Commvault analyzes revenue growth on a constant currency basis in order to provide a comparable framework for assessing how the business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations. Finally, Commvault has provided free cash flow, which Commvault uses to measure the amount of cash flow the business is generating after capital expenditures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which are provided in Table IV included in this press release. (Download Financial Tables)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP income from operations margin.<\/strong> These non-GAAP financial measures exclude noncash stock-based compensation charges and additional FICA and related payroll tax expense incurred by Commvault when employees exercise in the money stock options or vest in restricted stock awards. In fiscal 2019 and 2020, Commvault also excluded restructuring and costs related to a non-routine shareholder matter from its non-GAAP results. These expenses are further discussed in Table IV. Commvault believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful metrics for management and investors because they compare Commvault\u2019s core operating results over multiple periods. When evaluating the performance of Commvault\u2019s operating results and developing short- and long-term plans, Commvault does not consider such expenses. Although noncash stock-based compensation and the additional FICA and related payroll tax expenses are necessary to attract and retain employees, Commvault places its primary emphasis on stockholder dilution as compared to the accounting charges related to such equity compensation plans. Commvault believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude noncash stock-based compensation expense and the additional FICA and related payroll tax expenses incurred on stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock awards allow investors to make meaningful comparisons between Commvault\u2019s operating results and those of other companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP income from operations margin. The most significant limitation is that these non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain operating costs, primarily related to noncash stock-based compensation, which is of a recurring nature. Noncash stock-based compensation has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in Commvault\u2019s operating results. In addition, noncash stock-based compensation is an important part of Commvault\u2019s employees\u2019 compensation and can have a significant impact on their performance. Lastly, the components that Commvault excludes in its non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the components that its peer companies exclude when they report their non-GAAP financial measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commvault\u2019s management generally compensates for the limitations described above related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures by providing investors with a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Further, Commvault management uses non-GAAP financial measures only in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS). <\/strong> Non-GAAP net income excludes noncash stock-based compensation, and the additional FICA and related payroll tax expenses incurred by Commvault when employees exercise in the money stock options or vest in restricted stock awards. In fiscal 2019 and 2020 Commvault also excluded restructuring and costs related to a non-routine shareholder matter from its non-GAAP results. These expenses are further discussed in Table IV. In addition, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS incorporate a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 27%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commvault anticipates that in any given period its non-GAAP tax rate may be either higher or lower than the GAAP tax rate as evidenced by historical fluctuations. The GAAP tax rates in recent fiscal years were not meaningful percentages due to the dollar amount of GAAP pre-tax income. For the same reason as the GAAP tax rates, the estimated cash tax rates in recent fiscal years are not meaningful percentages. Commvault defines its cash tax rate as the total amount of cash income taxes payable for the fiscal year divided by consolidated GAAP pre-tax income. Over time, Commvault believes its GAAP and cash tax rates will align.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commvault considers non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS useful metrics for Commvault management and its investors for the same basic reasons that Commvault uses non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP income from operations margin. In addition, the same limitations as well as management actions to compensate for such limitations described above also apply to Commvault\u2019s use of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
