Exhibit 99.1
SolarWinds Announces First Quarter 2019 Results
AUSTIN, Texas - April 24, 2019- SolarWinds Corporation (NYSE: SWI), a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software, today reported results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2019.
On a GAAP basis, reflecting our adoption of the new standard ASC 606 effective January 1, 2019:
• | Total revenue for the first quarter of $215.8 million, representing 9.6% growth on a reported basis. |
• | Total recurring revenue for the first quarter of $177.9 million, representing 11.1% growth on a reported basis. |
• | Net income for the first quarter of $3.1 million. |
On a non-GAAP basis including presentation of results under ASC 605:
• | Non-GAAP total revenue for the first quarter of $216.0 million, representing 8.9% year-over-year growth and 11.2% year-over-year growth on a constant currency basis. Non-GAAP total revenue assuming foreign currency exchange rates used in previously issued outlook would have been $216.6 million. |
• | Non-GAAP total recurring revenue for the first quarter of $178.2 million, representing 10.4% year-over-year growth and 12.9% year-over-year growth on a constant currency basis. |
• | Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of $103.6 million, representing a margin of 48.0% on non-GAAP total revenue. |
For a reconciliation of our GAAP to non-GAAP results including adjustments for the impact of ASC 606, please see the tables below.
“We had a good start to 2019 with first quarter total revenue results that were led by subscription revenue growth and included solid maintenance revenue growth and license revenue that grew for the fifth consecutive quarter,” said Kevin Thompson, SolarWinds' President & Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, we added over 6,000 new customers for the thirteenth quarter in a row while doing an excellent job of retaining our existing customers as reflected by a very strong 97% maintenance renewal rate and subscription net retention rate of 105% both measured on a trailing twelve months basis.”
“As we look ahead to the rest of the year, we're excited about the opportunities for accelerating growth across our business, including the opportunity we now have to disrupt the ITSM market with SolarWinds Service Desk, which we plan to launch in the second quarter assuming completion of the Samanage acquisition,” added Thompson. “We believe that a powerful, market-leading ITSM solution offers us another opportunity to create a unique position to serve IT professionals in organizations of all sizes while expanding our addressable market and creating additional cross sell opportunities.”
“Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2019 of $103.6 million (ASC 605) came in well ahead of our outlook, representing a stronger than expected margin of 48% on non-GAAP total revenue (ASC 605). The first quarter also represented another period of solid cash flow generation,” said Bart Kalsu, SolarWinds' Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
Balance Sheet
At March 31, 2019, total cash and cash equivalents were $434.5 million and total debt was $1.9 billion.
The financial results included in this press release are preliminary and pending final review by the company and its external auditors. Financial results will not be final until SolarWinds files its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period. Information about SolarWinds' use of non-GAAP financial measures is provided below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Financial Outlook
As of April 24, 2019, SolarWinds is providing its financial outlook for the second quarter of 2019 and full year 2019. The financial information below represents forward-looking non-GAAP financial information, including an estimate of non-GAAP revenue and revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2019 and for the full year
2019. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude, among other items mentioned below, stock-based compensation expense, amortization and costs related to non-recurring items. We have not reconciled our estimates of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measure as a result of uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, these excluded items in future periods. Accordingly, reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort, although it is important to note that these excluded items could be material to our results computed in accordance with GAAP in future periods. Our reported results provide reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP equivalents.
Financial Outlook for Second Quarter of 2019
Including the expected contribution from the Samanage acquisition, SolarWinds’ management currently expects to achieve the following results for the second quarter of 2019 under ASC 606:
• | Non-GAAP total revenue in the range of $224.0 to $229.0 million, representing growth over the second quarter of 2018 non-GAAP total revenue of 10% to 13%, or 12% to 15% on a constant currency basis assuming the same average foreign currency exchange rates as those in the second quarter of 2018. |
• | Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $107.0 to $109.0 million, representing approximately 48% of non-GAAP total revenue. |
• | Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.18 to $0.19. |
• | Weighted average outstanding diluted shares of approximately 311.5 million. |
Financial Outlook for Full Year 2019
Including the expected contribution from the Samanage acquisition, SolarWinds’ management currently expects to achieve the following results for the full year 2019 under ASC 606:
• | Non-GAAP total revenue in the range of $934.0 to $949.0 million, representing growth over 2018 non-GAAP revenue of 12% to 13%, or 13% to 15% on a constant currency basis, assuming the same average foreign currency exchange rates as those in 2018. This includes approximately $11.5 to $12.5 million of revenue contribution from the Samanage acquisition. |
• | Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $446.0 to $453.0 million, representing approximately 48% of non-GAAP total revenue. This includes the dilutive impact of approximately $8.0 to $10.0 million loss associated with the Samanage acquisition. |
• | Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.80 to $0.82. |
• | Weighted average outstanding diluted shares of approximately 312.5 million. |
Additional details on our outlook will be provided on the conference call.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking” statements, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding our financial outlook for the second quarter and full year 2019, the completion, timing and impact of the Samanage acquisition and our beliefs regarding our related market opportunities. These forward-looking statements are based on management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and may be identified by terms such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “could,” “seek,” “should,” “feel,” “expect,” “will,” “would,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “continue,” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) the inability to generate significant volumes of high quality sales leads from our digital marketing initiatives and convert such leads into new business at acceptable conversion rates; (b) the inability to sell products to new customers or to sell additional products or upgrades to our existing customers; (c)
any decline in our renewal or net retention rates; (d) our inability to successfully identify, complete, and integrate acquisitions and manage our growth effectively; (e) the risk that the Samanage acquisition does not close at all or when expected or that its contribution to our financial results are lower than expected; (f) risks associated with our international operations; (g) our status as a controlled company; (h) the possibility that general economic conditions or uncertainty cause information technology spending to be reduced or purchasing decisions to be delayed; (i) the timing and success of new product introductions and product upgrades by SolarWinds or its competitors; (j) the possibility that our operating income could fluctuate and may decline as percentage of revenue as we make further expenditures to expand our operations in order to support additional growth in our business; (k) potential foreign exchange gains and losses related to expenses and sales denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of an associated entity; and (l) such other risks and uncertainties described more fully in documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2018 filed on February 25, 2019 and the Form 10-Q that SolarWinds anticipates filing on or before May 15, 2019. All information provided in this release is as of the date hereof and SolarWinds undertakes no duty to update this information except as required by law.
Adoption of the New Revenue Recognition Standard
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” or ASC 606, using the modified retrospective method. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented in compliance with the new revenue recognition standard ASC 606. Historical financial results for reporting periods prior to 2019 are presented in conformity with amounts previously disclosed under the prior revenue recognition standard, ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition,”or ASC 605. In the interest of comparability during the transition year to ASC 606, we present our financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 in accordance with both ASC 606 and ASC 605.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures to clarify and enhance our understanding, and aid in the period-to-period comparison, of our performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information that is meaningful when assessing our operating performance because they exclude the impact of certain amounts that our management and board of directors do not consider part of core operating results when assessing our operational performance, allocating resources, preparing annual budgets and determining compensation. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures may provide insight to investors into the motivation and decision-making of management in operating the business.
SolarWinds also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are used by investors and security analysts to (a) compare and evaluate its performance from period to period and (b) compare its performance to those of its competitors. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain items that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing and accounting methods, the book value of their assets, their capital structures and the method by which their assets were acquired.
There are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation between companies. Certain items that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures can have a material impact on operating and net income.
As a result, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the most comparable GAAP measures. SolarWinds' management and board of directors compensate for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by reviewing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measure. Set forth in the tables below are the corresponding GAAP financial measures for each non-GAAP financial measure presented. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures that are set forth in the tables below.
Non-GAAP Revenue. We define non-GAAP subscription revenue, non-GAAP maintenance revenue, non-GAAP license revenue, and non-GAAP total revenue as subscription revenue, maintenance revenue, license revenue, and total revenue, respectively, excluding the impact of purchase accounting primarily from our take private transaction in early 2016 and the acquisition of LOGICnow for periods prior to 2019 and the expected impact of the Samanage acquisition for 2019 outlook. The non-GAAP revenue growth rates we provide are calculated using non-GAAP revenue from the comparable prior period. We monitor these measures to assess our performance because we believe our revenue growth rates would be overstated without these adjustments. We believe presenting non-GAAP subscription revenue, non-GAAP maintenance revenue, non-GAAP license revenue and non-GAAP total revenue aids in the comparability between periods and in assessing our overall operating performance.
Non-GAAP Revenue on a Constant Currency Basis. We provide non-GAAP revenue on a constant currency basis to provide a framework for assessing our performance and expectations regarding future performance excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current period results and future period estimated results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. Dollars are converted into U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the corresponding prior period presented. We believe that providing non-GAAP revenue on a constant currency basis facilitates the comparison of non-GAAP revenue to prior periods.
Non-GAAP Cost of Revenue and Non-GAAP Operating Income. We provide non-GAAP cost of revenue and non-GAAP operating income and related non-GAAP margins using non-GAAP revenue as discussed above and excluding such items as the write-down of deferred revenue related to purchase accounting, amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and Sponsor related costs and restructuring charges and other. Management believes these measures are useful for the following reasons:
• | Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets. We provide non-GAAP information that excludes expenses related to purchased intangible assets associated with our acquisitions. We believe that eliminating this expense from our non-GAAP measures is useful to investors, because the amortization of acquired intangible assets can be inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisition transactions, which also vary in frequency from period to period. Accordingly, we analyze the performance of our operations in each period without regard to such expenses. |
• | Stock-Based Compensation Expense. We provide non-GAAP information that excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation. We believe that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides for a better comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies as the calculations of stock-based compensation vary from period to period and company to company due to different valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. Because of these unique characteristics of stock-based compensation, management excludes these expenses when analyzing the organization’s business performance. |
• | Acquisition and Sponsor Related Costs. We exclude certain expense items resulting from our take private transaction in early 2016 and other acquisitions, such as legal, accounting and advisory fees, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, costs related to integrating the acquired businesses, deferred compensation, severance and retention expense. We consider these adjustments, to some extent, to be unpredictable and dependent on a significant number of factors that are outside of our control. Furthermore, acquisitions result in operating expenses that would not otherwise have been incurred by us in the normal course of our organic business operations. We believe that providing these non-GAAP measures that exclude acquisition and Sponsor related costs, allows users of our financial statements to better review and understand the historical and current results of our continuing operations, and also facilitates comparisons to our historical results and results of less acquisitive peer companies, both with and without such adjustments. |
• | Restructuring Charges and Other. We provide non-GAAP information that excludes restructuring charges such as severance and the estimated costs of exiting and terminating facility lease commitments, as they relate to our corporate restructuring and exit activities and charges related to the separation of employment with executives of the Company. These charges are inconsistent in amount and are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of these events. Therefore, although we may incur these types of expenses in the future, we believe that eliminating these charges for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of our operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance. |
Non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share. We believe that the use of non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share is helpful to our investors to clarify and enhance their understanding of past performance and future prospects. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is calculated as net income (loss) excluding the adjustments to non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP cost of revenue and non-GAAP operating income, losses on extinguishment of debt, certain other non-operating gains and losses and the income tax effect of the non-GAAP exclusions. We define non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by the non-GAAP weighted average outstanding common shares, proforma, which is calculated as if to reflect the conversion of Class A Common Stock and shares issued for accrued dividends and shares issued at our initial public offering as if each occurred at the beginning of each respective period.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. We regularly monitor adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, as it is a measure we use to assess our operating performance. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss, excluding the impact of purchase accounting on total revenue, amortization of acquired intangible assets and developed technology, depreciation expense, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other charges, acquisition and Sponsor related costs, interest expense, net, debt extinguishment and refinancing costs, unrealized foreign currency (gains) losses, and income tax expense (benefit). We define
adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by non-GAAP revenue. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of the write-down of deferred revenue due to purchase accounting in connection with our acquisition, and therefore includes revenue that will never be recognized under GAAP; adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Unlevered Free Cash Flow. Unlevered free cash flow is a measure of our liquidity used by management to evaluate our business prior to the impact of our capital structure, purchases of property and equipment, acquisition and sponsor related costs, restructuring costs and other one time items, that can be used by us for strategic opportunities and strengthening our balance sheet. However, given our debt obligations, unlevered free cash flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenses.
