FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXS) today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 ended March 31, 2017.

Financial Results

For the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, Citrix achieved revenue from continuing operations of $663 million, compared to $659 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, representing 1 percent revenue growth.

As previously announced, the spin-off and merger of Citrix’s GoTo business with LogMeIn was completed following the close of business on January 31, 2017. Accordingly, the GoTo business results of operations, assets and liabilities, and cash flows are reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

GAAP Results

Net income from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 was $70 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to $73 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. Net income from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 and 2016 includes restructuring charges of $8 million and $46 million, respectively, for severance and facility closing costs. Additionally, net income from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 includes $46 million in charges relating to changes in the Company’s expectations of realizability of certain state R&D tax credits resulting from the separation of the GoTo business, partially offset by a tax benefit of approximately $18 million from the adoption of Accounting Standard Update 2016-09 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017.

Non-GAAP Results

Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 was $152 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, compared to $155 million, or $1.00 per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 and 2016 excludes the effects of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of debt discount, restructuring charges, separation costs, and the tax effects related to these items. Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 also excludes charges relating to changes in the Company’s expectations of realizability of certain state R&D tax credits resulting from the separation of the GoTo business.

"This was another strong quarter of execution by our global team,” said Kirill Tatarinov, CEO for Citrix. "The momentum of our cloud transformation is accelerating.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Comparable U.S. GAAP Measures(Unaudited)

Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this earnings release and related conference call, slide presentation or webcast to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. These measures differ from GAAP in that they exclude amortization primarily related to acquired intangible assets and debt discount, stock-based compensation expenses, charges associated with the Company’s restructuring programs, significant litigation charges or benefits, separation costs, the related tax effect of those items and separation-related tax charges or benefits. The income tax effect on non-GAAP items is calculated based upon the tax laws and statutory income tax rates applicable in the tax jurisdiction(s) of the underlying non-GAAP adjustment. The Company also excludes the effect of anti-dilutive convertible note hedges in the number of shares used in non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented on a continuing operations basis. The Company's basis for these adjustments is described below.

Management uses these non-GAAP measures for internal reporting and forecasting purposes, when publicly providing its business outlook, to evaluate the Company's performance and to evaluate and compensate the Company's executives. The Company has provided these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to GAAP financial results because it believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to certain investors and financial analysts for comparison across accounting periods not influenced by certain non-cash items that are not used by management when evaluating the Company's historical and prospective financial performance. In addition, the Company has historically provided this or similar information and understands that some investors and financial analysts find this information helpful in analyzing the Company's operating margins, operating expenses and net income and comparing the Company's financial performance to that of its peer companies and competitors.

Management typically excludes the amounts described above when evaluating the Company's operating performance and believes that the resulting non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and financial analysts in assessing the Company's operating performance due to the following factors:

These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies. There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. The additional non-GAAP financial information presented here should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP (such as net income and earnings per share) and should not be considered measures of the Company's liquidity.
