Forescout Technologies Reports Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results

  • Total Revenue of $91.6 million, compared to $85.6 million in the third quarter of 2018

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Forescout Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSCT), the leader in device visibility and control, today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2019.

“Our third quarter 2019 results were impacted by extended sales cycles, with the resulting revenue shortfall most pronounced in EMEA. These results are disappointing to us and we are taking a number of steps to improve things we can control, including sales execution and shaping our revenue model for better predictability,” said Michael DeCesare, CEO and President of Forescout Technologies. “We continue to be confident that we are in the early innings of a large market opportunity for device visibility and control and that Forescout is well-positioned to win. To that end, we are excited to announce eyeSegment, a major innovation for the company and our first cloud-delivered SaaS product that will help customers accelerate network segmentation.”

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2019 Outlook

Forescout provides guidance based on current market conditions and expectations.

For the fourth quarter of 2019, Forescout expects:

  • Revenue of $93.5 million - $96.5 million, representing year-over-year growth of 12% at the midpoint

  • Non-GAAP operating loss of ($3.3) million - ($2.3) million

  • Non-GAAP net loss per share of ($0.08) - ($0.06) using approximately 47.4 million weighted shares outstanding

For the full year 2019, Forescout expects:

  • Revenue of $339 million - $342 million, representing year-over-year growth of 14% at the midpoint

  • Non-GAAP operating loss of ($37.2) million - ($36.2) million

  • Non-GAAP net loss per share of ($0.82) - ($0.80) using approximately 45.9 million weighted shares outstanding

Guidance for non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP net loss per share excludes stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, and amortization of acquired intangible assets. We have not reconciled non-GAAP operating loss guidance to GAAP operating loss, nor have we reconciled non-GAAP net loss per share to GAAP net loss per share, as a result of the uncertainty and the potential variability of the excluded items. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Forescout has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Forescout uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes that use of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing Forescout’s financial results with other companies in its industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with Forescout’s condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of Forescout’s historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit. Forescout defines non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit plus stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, and amortization of acquired intangible assets.

Non-GAAP Operating Expense. Forescout defines non-GAAP operating expense as operating expense excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, and amortization of acquired intangible assets.

Non-GAAP Operating Loss. Forescout defines non-GAAP operating loss as operating loss excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, and amortization of acquired intangible assets.

Non-GAAP Net Loss. Forescout defines non-GAAP net loss as net loss excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments.

Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share. Forescout defines non-GAAP net loss per share as non-GAAP net loss divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Free Cash Flow. Forescout defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. Forescout defines free cash flow margin as free cash flow as a percentage of total revenue. Forescout considers free cash flow and free cash flow margin to be profitability and liquidity measures that provide useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that, after the purchases of property and equipment, can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, and strengthening our balance sheet.
