Recent Business Highlights

The following are some key business highlights from the fourth quarter of 2019:

  • A number of Fortune Global 500 companies, as well as numerous leading brands such as The Co-operators, Saint-Gobain, and Swiss Medical, purchased HyperIntelligence and are moving to empower their front-line employees with actionable insights.
  • MicroStrategy announced that it will host its 23rd annual user conference, MicroStrategy World 2020, from February 4 to February 6, 2020 in Orlando, Fla. Attendees will get a first look at the newest features and capabilities of MicroStrategy 2020, including new ways to experience HyperIntelligence, try new Dossier® authoring tools for content creators, learn about the federated analytics connectors to Jupyter and RStudio for data scientists, and more. Attendees will learn how MicroStrategy 2020 together with innovative uses of artificial intelligence (“AI”), mobility, and cloud technologies can be deployed to significantly boost productivity and drive greater analytics adoption across the enterprise.
  • MicroStrategy released the results of its “2020 Global State of Enterprise Analytics” report revealing that, despite 94% of organizations believing data and analytics is important to their digital transformation and business growth, most are not enabling a data-driven culture. Among the many findings, the report revealed that for 60% of employees, it takes hours or days to get the information they need, while only 3% can find information in seconds.
  • MicroStrategy published its “10 Enterprise Analytics Trends to Watch in 2020” report. In collaboration with leading analysts and influencers from Forrester, IDC, Constellation Research, Ventana Research and others, the annual MicroStrategy compilation highlights trends and insights that range from AI and mobile intelligence, to the explosion of data and data sources, to some very human factors including a predicted shortage of data and analytics talent.
  • MicroStrategy launched a new technology partnership with DataRobot, a leader in enterprise AI, designed to make it easier for businesses to integrate AI into their most popular applications and core processes by leveraging HyperIntelligence cards to deliver AI-driven insights and recommendations. HyperIntelligence seamlessly injects trusted and predictive analytics directly into popular business applications on both web and mobile – including Google’s G Suite, Microsoft Office 365, and SaaS applications such as Salesforce, Workday, and Confluence – making it possible to instantly reveal insights to users without interrupting their existing workflows.
  • MicroStrategy introduced innovations that aim to significantly boost productivity and drive analytics adoption to 100%. HyperIntelligence for Mobile is designed to provide the speed and agility that users need to make important decisions and take action quickly outside of the office.
  • MicroStrategy announced that 94% of survey respondents in The BI Survey 19, the industry’s largest independent global survey of BI users, recommend MicroStrategy. Conducted by the Business Application Research Center, The BI Survey 19 ranked MicroStrategy first in self-service, visual analysis, and location intelligence among the large global enterprise BI platforms peer group. In addition, MicroStrategy was rated a leader in its peer groups for business value, business benefits, mobile BI, innovation, functionality, dashboards, query performance, and distribution of reports.

Conference Call

MicroStrategy will be discussing its fourth quarter 2019 financial results on a conference call today beginning at approximately 5:00 p.m. EST. To access the conference call, dial (844) 824-7425 (domestically) or (716) 220-9429 (internationally) and use conference ID 6574498. A live and archived webcast will be available under the “Events” section on MicroStrategy’s investor relations website at https://ir.microstrategy.com/events-presentations. A replay of the conference call will be available beginning approximately two hours after the call concludes until February 4, 2020 at (855) 859-2056 (domestically) or (404) 537-3406 (internationally) using the passcode 6574498.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

MicroStrategy is providing supplemental financial measures for (i) non-GAAP income (loss) from operations that excludes the impact of share-based compensation arrangements, (ii) non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share that exclude the impact from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “U.S. tax reform”) in the third quarter of 2018 and the sale of the Voice.com domain name (the “Domain Name Sale”) in the second quarter of 2019, and (iii) non-GAAP constant currency revenues that exclude foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. These supplemental financial measures are not measurements of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and, as a result, these supplemental financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to help understand, manage, and evaluate business performance and to help make operating decisions.

MicroStrategy believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful to investors and analysts in comparing its performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis. The first supplemental financial measure excludes a significant non-cash expense that MicroStrategy believes is not reflective of its general business performance, and for which the accounting requires management judgment and the resulting share-based compensation expense could vary significantly in comparison to other companies. The second set of supplemental financial measures excludes the impact from the U.S. tax reform, which was a one-time tax charge, and the Domain Name Sale, which is outside of MicroStrategy’s normal business operations. The third set of supplemental financial measures excludes changes resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates so that results may be compared to the same period in the prior year on a non-GAAP “constant currency” basis. MicroStrategy believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures can also facilitate comparison of MicroStrategy’s operating results to those of its competitors.

  1. The “Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Impact” reflects the estimated impact from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on international revenues. It shows the increase (decrease) in international revenues from the same period in the prior year, based on comparisons to the prior year quarterly average foreign currency exchange rates. The term “international” refers to operations outside of the United States and Canada.
  2. The “Non-GAAP Constant Currency” reflects the current period GAAP amount, less the Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Impact.
  3. The “Non-GAAP Constant Currency % Change” reflects the percentage change between the current period Non-GAAP Constant Currency amount and the GAAP amount for the same period in the prior year.
