Generated GAAP EPS of $0.01 per share during the quarter and GAAP EPS of ($0.11) per share for the first nine months of 2021


AUSTIN, TEXAS (November 10, 2021) - FalconStor Software, Inc. (OTCQB: FALC), the trusted data protection software leader modernizing disaster recovery and backup operations for the hybrid cloud world, today announced financial results for its third quarter, which ended on September 30, 2021, delivering a 35% year-over-year increase in subscription revenue fueled by the growth in managed service provider business and market adoption of hybrid cloud data protection solutions.

“We continue to make solid progress against our strategic plans to reinvent FalconStor and enable secure hybrid cloud backup and data protection,” said Todd Brooks, FalconStor CEO. “Driven by continued adoption of the FalconStor StorSafe long-term data protection solution, we accelerated our strategic focus on a recurring revenue model better aligned with today’s market. As part of this focus, we introduced a new and disruptive recurring monthly pricing model for our managed service providers, and continued migrating our installed based to a subscription revenue model. As a result, total subscription revenue increased 35% compared to Q3 of 2020, and 54% for the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period last year.

“While we are encouraged by our subscription revenue growth, we are continuing to work toward our goal of consistent total revenue growth, as total revenue decreased by 26% year-over-year during the quarter and is down 7% for the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. As the recurring percentage of total revenue continues to increase over the next several quarters, and the reduction in perpetual license sales decreases, we are committed to driving more predictable total revenue growth, delivering profitability, and generating cash from operations, as we invest to grow.

“Migration to the cloud, data center rationalization, and increased leverage of outsourced managed services are top priorities for enterprise CIOs in the post-pandemic world, and FalconStor plays a vital role in each,” added Brooks. “We are excited by our hybrid cloud focus, the efficient routes to market that we are building through our managed service provider partners, and trust our shareholders have placed in our team to deliver customer and shareholder value.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The Company’s management refers to these non-GAAP financial measures in making operating decisions because they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operating performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ operating results. We include these non-GAAP financial measures (which should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, their comparable GAAP measures) in this press release because we believe they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency into the supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude (i) restructuring costs, (ii) effects of our Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock, and (iii) non-cash stock-based compensation charges and any potential tax effects. For a reconciliation of our GAAP and non-GAAP financial results, please refer to our reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release.
