SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 8x8, Inc. (NYSE: EGHT), a leading cloud provider of voice, video, chat, contact center and enterprise-class API solutions powered by one global communications platform, today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 ended June 30, 2019.

First Quarter Fiscal 2020 Financial Results:

“We had a strong first quarter with combined mid-market and enterprise ARR growth of 39% year-over-year, channel bookings growth of 86%, and we exceeded the high-end of our guidance on all key financial metrics,” said Vik Verma, Chief Executive Officer at 8x8, Inc. “Additionally, with the recent acquisition of Wavecell, the leader in communication platform-as-a-service (CPaaS) in Southeast Asia, our combined vision now includes API services for messaging, data and analytics, video, voice and contact center capabilities. This will give our customers a full platform of communications capabilities and insights to build highly personalized interactions with their end customers, all tightly integrated into their apps, mobile apps and websites. No other cloud-based communications provider has one integrated technology platform with voice, chat, video, team messaging, and contact center capabilities. No other CPaaS provider has the ability to deliver this breadth of APIs. Our fully-owned technology platform uniquely positions 8x8 to disrupt the $60 billion total addressable market that’s rapidly moving to the cloud.”

Q1 F2020 Business Metrics and Company Highlights:

Financial and Business Metrics

The Company is introducing additional financial and operating metrics in order to provide investors with incremental insights into the Company’s performance. Beginning with the reporting of the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company is providing information on two new metrics, total annual recurring revenue (ARR) and average annual service revenue per customer, as follows:

Please note that going forward the Company will be reporting annual revenue metrics in place of monthly metrics. These new metrics are included in a financial and operating metrics worksheet that is posted on the Company’s investor relations website.

Product Innovation Highlights

Q2 and F2020 Financial Outlook:

For fiscal 2020, the Company is providing the following guidance inclusive of the Wavecell acquisition which closed on July 17, 2019:

Second Quarter Fiscal 2020 Financial Outlook:

Full-Year Fiscal 2020 Financial Outlook:

We do not reconcile our forward-looking estimates of non-GAAP net income (loss) to the corresponding GAAP measures of GAAP net income (loss) due to the significant variability of, and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections with regards to, the various expenses we exclude. For example, although future hiring and retention needs may be reasonably predictable, stock-based compensation expense depends on variables that are largely not within the control of nor predictable by management, such as the market price of 8x8 common stock, and may also be significantly impacted by events like acquisitions, the timing and nature of which are difficult to predict with accuracy. Similarly, impairments and other non-recurring items are difficult to predict as they may depend on future events and external factors outside the Company's control. The actual amounts of these excluded items could have a significant impact on the Company's GAAP net income (loss). Accordingly, management believes that reconciliations of this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure to the corresponding GAAP measure are not available without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Measures:

The Company has provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing the Company's financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating the Company's ongoing operational performance. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating 8x8's ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing financial results with other companies in the industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

The Company has defined non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss) under GAAP, plus amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation, certain other income and expenses, and the provision for income taxes. Amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded because it is a non-cash expense that management does not consider part of ongoing operations when assessing the Company's financial performance. Stock-based compensation expense has been excluded because it is a non-cash expense and relies on valuations based on future conditions and events, such as the market price of 8x8 common stock, that are difficult to predict and/or largely not within the control of management. Certain other income and expense items, such as acquisition-related expenses, certain severance expenses and expenses for tax or litigation risks, have been excluded because management considers them one-time events or otherwise not indicative of trends in the Company's ongoing operations. The Company has also excluded costs associated with its Coleman lease assignment.

GAAP tax provision for income taxes has been excluded as management does not consider taxes in its analysis of the performance of ongoing operations. Due to the Company's history of tax losses and full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, future GAAP and Non-GAAP effective tax rates are limited to current taxes in certain US states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company reports these current taxes as reduction from Non-GAAP pretax net income (loss) to derive Non-GAAP net income (loss) after taxes.

The Company defines non-GAAP net income (loss) per share as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by the weighted-average basic or diluted shares outstanding which includes the effect of potentially dilutive stock options and awards.

Management believes that such exclusions facilitate comparisons to the Company's historical operating results and to the results of other companies in the same industry, and provides investors with information that management uses in evaluating the Company's performance on a quarterly and annual basis.

Although these non-GAAP financial measures adjust expenses, they should not be viewed as a pro forma presentation reflecting the elimination of the underlying share-based compensation programs, which are an important element of the Company's compensation structure. GAAP requires that all forms of share-based payments should be valued and included in the results of operations.

We disclose these non-GAAP financial measures to the public as an additional means by which investors can assess our performance. These non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. This reconciliation has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.
