  • Named a Champion in the Bloor Research Market Update for Master Data Management 2023 for the third consecutive year. 
  • Recognized in Constellation Research ShortList™ for Metadata Management, Data Cataloging and Data Governance for the fourth consecutive year. 

Restructuring Plan: 

  • Today, the Company announced a plan to reduce its workforce by approximately 545 employees, representing 10% of the Company’s current global workforce, and to reduce its global real estate footprint (the “November Plan”). The November Plan is intended to further streamline the Company’s cost structure as a direct result of its cloud-only, consumption-driven (“CoCd”) strategy announced in January 2023. The increased focus and simplicity of the CoCd strategy enables the Company to deliver continued AI-powered product innovation and strong Cloud Subscription ARR growth with a lower expense base and higher operating margins. The Company estimates that it will incur non-recurring charges of approximately $35 million to $45 million in connection with the November Plan, primarily related to cash expenditures for employee transition, notice period and severance payments, employee benefits, real estate-related charges, and other costs. The Company expects that the majority of these charges will be incurred by the end of the first quarter of 2024 and that the implementation of the November Plan will be substantially complete by the end of the third quarter of 2024. The Company estimates the cost savings benefit of these actions to be approximately $84 million on a GAAP basis or approximately $70 million on a non-GAAP basis in fiscal 2024. Potential position eliminations in each country are subject to local law and consultation requirements, which may extend this process beyond the first quarter of 2024 in limited cases. The charges that the Company expects to incur are subject to a number of assumptions, including local law requirements in various jurisdictions, and actual expenses may differ materially from such estimates. 
  • Added Walia, "In January, we transitioned to a cloud-only, consumption-driven strategy, which is the final leg of our multi-year plan to drive profitable growth. We’ve already seen significant benefits of these initiatives undertaken throughout this year, including the strong momentum and execution reflected in today’s earnings results. Our next phase of growth allows us to further streamline our global cost structure without reducing our growth expectations. We intend to finish our transition to a cloud-only business model while maintaining sales capacity, best-in-class product innovation and customer satisfaction. We have strong momentum heading into the fourth quarter and look forward to sharing more about our strategy at Investor Day.”

Share Repurchase Authorization: 

  • On October 31, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a new share repurchase authorization which enables the Company to repurchase up to $200 million of its Class A Common Stock through privately-negotiated purchases with individual holders or in the open market. A committee of the Board will determine the timing, amount and terms of any repurchase. 

Upcoming Events:

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2023 Financial Outlook 

The Company provides the financial guidance below based on current market conditions and expectations and it is subject to various important cautionary factors described below. Guidance includes the impact from macroeconomic conditions and expected foreign exchange headwinds versus the prior year comparable periods. 

Based on information available as of November 1, 2023, guidance for the full-year 2023 is as follows: 

Full-Year 2023 Ending December 31, 2023: 

  • GAAP Total Revenues are expected to be in the range of $1,570 million to $1,590 million, representing approximately 5% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range. 
  • Total ARR is expected to be in the range of $1,585 million to $1,615 million, representing approximately 5% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range. 
  • Subscription ARR is expected to be in the range of $1,098 million to $1,118 million, representing approximately 11% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range. 
  • Cloud Subscription ARR is expected to be in the range of $604 million to $614 million, representing approximately 35% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range. 
  • Raising Non-GAAP Operating Income from $420 million to $440 million to a range of $430 million to $450 million, representing approximately 25% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range. 
  • Raising Adjusted Unlevered Free Cash Flow (after-tax) from $370 million to $390 million to a range of $410 million to $430 million, representing approximately 46% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range. 

Based on information available as of November 1, 2023, guidance for the fourth quarter 2023 is as follows: 

Fourth Quarter 2023 Ending December 31, 2023: 

  • GAAP Total Revenues are expected to be in the range of $420 million to $440 million, representing approximately 8% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range. 
  • Subscription ARR is expected to be in the range of $1,098 million to $1,118 million, representing approximately 11% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range. 
  • Cloud Subscription ARR is expected to be in the range of $604 million to $614 million, representing approximately 35% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range. 
  • Non-GAAP Operating Income is expected to be in the range of $130 million to $150 million, representing approximately 23% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range. 

The Company is assuming constant FX rates for the year based on the rates at the start of the full-year 2023 planning period. For reference purposes, the assumed FX rates for our top four currencies in full-year 2023 are as follows: 

In addition to the above guidance, the Company is also providing fourth quarter and full-year 2023 cash paid for interest estimates for modeling purposes. For the fourth quarter 2023, we estimate cash paid for interest to be approximately $40 million. For the full-year 2023, we estimate cash paid for interest to be approximately $149 million. 

In addition to the above guidance, the Company is also providing a fourth quarter and full-year 2023 weighted-average number of basic and diluted share estimates for modeling purposes. For the fourth quarter 2023, we expect basic weighted-average shares outstanding to be approximately 292 million shares and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding to be approximately 297 million shares. For the full-year 2023, we expect basic weighted-average shares outstanding to be approximately 288 million shares and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding to be approximately 293 million shares. 

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Operating Income and Adjusted Unlevered Free Cash Flow after-tax guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort, as certain items cannot be reasonably predicted because of their high variability, complexity, and low visibility. In particular, the measures and effects of our stock-based compensation expense specific to our equity compensation awards and employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions are directly impacted by the timing of employee stock transactions and unpredictable fluctuations in our stock price, which we expect to have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Business Metrics 

We review several operating and financial metrics, including the following unaudited non-GAAP financial measures and key business metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions: 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures 

In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use the following non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. 

Non-GAAP Income from Operations and Non-GAAP Net Income exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense-related charges, amortization of acquired intangibles, equity compensation related payments, expenses associated with acquisitions, and strategic investments, and are adjusted for income tax effects. We believe the presentation of operating results that exclude these non-cash or non-recurring items provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of our operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods. 

Adjusted EBITDA represents GAAP net loss as adjusted for income tax benefit (expense), interest income, interest expense, loss on debt refinancing, other income (expense), stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, equity compensation related payments, restructuring, acquisition costs, and depreciation. Equity compensation-related payments are related to the repurchase of employee stock options. We believe adjusted EBITDA is an important metric for understanding our business to assess our relative profitability adjusted for balance sheet debt levels. 

Adjusted Unlevered Free Cash Flow (after-tax) represents operating cash flow less purchases of property and equipment and is adjusted for interest payments, equity compensation payments, restructuring costs (including payments for impaired leases), and executive severance. We believe this measure provides useful supplemental information to investors because it is an indicator of our liquidity over the long term needed to maintain and grow our core business operations. We also provide actual and forecast cash interest expense to aid in the calculation of adjusted free cash flow (after-tax). 

Key Business Metrics 

Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) represents the expected annual billing amounts from all active maintenance and subscription agreements. ARR is calculated based on the contract Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) multiplied by 12. MRR is calculated based on the accounting adjusted total contract value divided by the number of months of the agreement based on the start and end dates of each contracted line item. The aggregate ARR calculated at the end of each reported period represents the value of all contracts that are active as of the end of the period, including those contracts that have expired but are still under negotiation for renewal. We typically allow for a grace period of up to 6 months past the original contract expiration quarter during which we engage in the renewal process before we report the contract as lost/inactive. This grace-period ARR amount has been less than 2% of the reported ARR in each period presented. If there is an actual cancellation of an ARR contract, we remove that ARR value at that time. We believe ARR is an important metric for understanding our business since it tracks the annualized cash value collected over a 12-month period for all our recurring contracts, irrespective of whether it is a maintenance contract on a perpetual license, a ratable cloud contract, or an on-premise term-based subscription license. 

Maintenance Annual Recurring Revenue represents the portion of ARR only attributable to our maintenance contracts. We believe that Maintenance ARR is a helpful metric for understanding our business since it represents the approximate annualized cash value collected over a 12-month period for all our maintenance contracts. Maintenance ARR includes maintenance contracts supporting our on-premise perpetual licenses. Maintenance ARR should be viewed independently of maintenance revenue and deferred revenue related to our maintenance contracts and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items. 

Subscription Annual Recurring Revenue represents the portion of ARR only attributable to our subscription contracts. We believe that Subscription ARR is a helpful metric for understanding our business since it represents the approximate annualized cash value collected over a 12-month period for all our recurring subscription contracts. Subscription ARR excludes maintenance contracts on our perpetual licenses to provide information regarding the period-to-period performance and overall size and scale of our subscription business as we continue to focus our efforts on subscription-based licensing. Subscription ARR should be viewed independently of subscription revenue and deferred revenue related to our subscription contracts and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items. 

Cloud Subscription Annual Recurring Revenue represents the portion of ARR that is attributable to our hosted cloud contracts. We believe that Cloud Subscription ARR is a helpful metric for understanding our business since it represents the approximate annualized cash value collected over a 12-month period for all our recurring Cloud contracts. Cloud Subscription ARR is a subset of our overall Subscription ARR, and by providing this breakdown of Cloud Subscription ARR, it provides visibility on the size and growth rate of our Cloud Subscription ARR within our overall Subscription ARR. Cloud Subscription ARR should be viewed independently of subscription revenue and deferred revenue related to our subscription contracts and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items. 

Subscription Net Retention Rate (NRR) compares the contract value for Subscription ARR from the same set of customers at the end of a period compared to the prior year. We treat divisions, segments, or subsidiaries inside companies as separate customers. To calculate our Subscription NRR for a particular period, we first establish the Subscription ARR value at the end of the prior-year period. We subsequently measure the Subscription ARR value at the end of the current period from the same cohort of customers. The net retention rate is then calculated by dividing the aggregate Subscription ARR in the current period by the prior-year period. An increase in the Subscription NRR occurs as a result of price increases on existing contracts, higher consumption of existing products, and sales of additional new subscription products to existing customers exceeding losses from subscription contracts due to cancellations. We believe Subscription NRR is an important metric for understanding our business since it measures the rate at which we are able to sell additional products into our subscription customer base. 

Cloud Subscription Net Retention Rate compares the contract value for Cloud Subscription ARR from the same set of customers at the end of a period compared to the prior year. We treat divisions, segments or subsidiaries inside companies as separate customers. To calculate our Cloud Subscription NRR for a particular period, we first establish the Cloud Subscription ARR value at the end of the prior year period. We subsequently measure the Cloud Subscription ARR value at the end of the current period from the same cohort of customers. Cloud Subscription NRR is then calculated by dividing the aggregate Cloud Subscription ARR in the current period by the prior year period. An increase in the Cloud Subscription NRR occurs as a result of price increases on existing contracts, higher consumption of existing products, and sales of additional new subscription products to existing customers exceeding losses from subscription contracts due to price decreases, usage decreases and cancellations. We believe Cloud Subscription NRR is an important metric for understanding our business since it measures the rate at which we are able to sell additional products into our cloud subscription customer base.
