Products and Organizational Developments
- In November 2018, Christy Wyatt was appointed as Chief Executive Officer, and subsequently joined the Board of Directors. Ms. Wyatt has a long history of scaling high-growth technology companies. Ms. Wyatt began her career as a software engineer and rose through the executive leadership ranks at a number of globally recognized technology companies. She has been named one of Inc. magazine’s Top 50 Women Entrepreneurs in America, CEO of the Year by Information Security Global Excellence Awards, and one of Fierce Wireless’s Most Influential Women in Wireless.
- In December 2018, we executed a site license agreement with one of the largest K-12 school districts in the U.S. to enforce safe and secure desktop, laptop and tablet usage amongst its students and staff.
- In December 2018, we completed Application Persistence for Dell Data Guardian and Dell Endpoint Security Suite Enterprise (“ESSE”), enabling Dell endpoint applications for data protection, advanced threat prevention and encryption to remain present and resilient. Application Persistence, which uses Absolute’s patented Persistence technology, monitors the health of applications across a device ecosystem and remediates those that have been compromised.
- In November 2018, we announced a new strategic partnership with VAIO Corporation to enhance endpoint security capabilities by integrating patented Absolute Persistence technology within the new VAIO Pro PA and VAIO A12 models. Together, VAIO and Absolute enable organizations to minimize risk and protect their data despite increasing mobility of remote workers and diminishing defense offered by the traditional network perimeter.
- In December 2018, we completed a new GDPR Compliance report identifying sensitive GDPR endpoint data that automatically scans for identifiers from all 31 European Economic Area (“EEA”) countries – providing last mile assurance for any lost or stolen devices, where proving absence of a breach is critical in the first 72 hours.
- In November 2018, the Absolute Reach Library was expanded with new query and remediation scripts, bringing the total number of scripts available to 44 at December 31, 2018. These scripts enable customers to further automate their endpoint management, hygiene, and vulnerability remediation across every endpoint, on and off the corporate network. The new scripts include automated workflows to conduct diagnostics across a fleet of endpoint devices, disable intrusive operating system processes, clear and restore tampered endpoint host files, reset administrative account passwords and modify administrative privileges.
- During Q2-F2019, the Company’s Board of Directors was reduced in size to six members.

Notes:
- “Adjusted EBITDA” is used as a profitability measure. Please refer to the “Non-IFRS Measures” section of our Q2-F2019 MD&A for further discussion on this measure.
- In Q1-F2019, we modified the allocation of some customer accounts between industry verticals, primarily the allocation of some quasi-governmental organizations from the Enterprise vertical to the Government vertical, which was previously included in the Public vertical. This reallocation was applied retrospectively, and has resulted in a revision to previously reported ACV Base and ACV Base growth figures for those verticals in historical periods. Please refer to the “Annual Contract Value Base” section of our Q2-F2019 MD&A.
- Commercial recurring revenue represents revenue derived from Cloud Services (as defined in our Q2-F2019 MD&A) and recurring managed professional services, both of which are included as part of our ACV Base. Other revenue represents revenue derived from non-recurring professional services and ancillary product lines, including consumer products.
F2019 Corporate Outlook
The Company is updating its outlook for F2019 as follows:
- The Company continues to expect revenue to be between $96.0 million and $99.0 million, representing 3% to 6% annual growth;
- The Company is increasing its expectation for Adjusted EBITDA from between 14% and 17% of revenue to between 16% and 19% of revenue;
- The Company continues to expect cash from operating activities to be between 10% and 14% of revenue; and
- The Company continues to expect capital expenditures to be between $3.5 million and $4.0 million.
The foregoing expectations constitute forward-looking information and financial outlook and are qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statement below.
Quarterly Dividend
On January 21, 2019, the Company declared a quarterly dividend of CAD$0.08 per share on its common shares, payable in cash on February 27, 2019 to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 6, 2019.

Non-IFRS Measures and Definitions
Throughout this press release, the Company refers to a number of measures that the Company believes are meaningful in the assessment of the Company’s performance. All these metrics are nonstandard measures under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS“), and are unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Readers are cautioned that the disclosure of these items is meant to add to, and not replace, the discussion of financial results or cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with IFRS. For a discussion of the purpose of these non-IFRS measures, please refer to the Company’s Q2-F2019 MD&A on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
These measures, as well as their method of calculation or reconciliation to IFRS measures, are as follows:
1) ACV Base, Net ACV Retention and ACV from New Customers
As
the majority of the Company’s customer contracts are sold under
multiyear term licenses, there is a significant lag between the timing
of the billing and the associated revenue recognition. As a result, the
Company focuses on the aggregate annualized value of its subscriptions
under contract, measured by Annual Contract Value, as an indicator of
its future revenues.
The ACV Base measures the amount of recurring annual revenue Absolute will receive from its commercial customers under contract at a point in time, and therefore is an indicator of the Company’s future revenue streams. Net ACV Retention measures the percentage increase or decrease in the Commercial ACV Base at the end of a period for the customers that made up the Commercial ACV Base at the beginning of the same period. This metric provides insight into the effectiveness of Absolute’s customer retention and expansion functions. ACV from New Customers measures the addition to the Commercial ACV Base from sales to new commercial customers during the quarter.
We believe that increases in the amount of ACV from New Customers, and improvement in the Company’s Net ACV Retention, will grow our Commercial ACV Base and, in turn, our future revenues.
2) Adjusted EBITDA
Management believes that analyzing
operating results exclusive of significant noncash items or items not
controllable in the period provides a useful measure of the Company’s
performance. The term “Adjusted EBITDA” refers to earnings before
deducting interest and investment gains (losses), income taxes,
amortization of intangible assets and property and equipment, foreign
exchange gain or loss, share-based compensation, and restructuring and
reorganization charges and post-retirement benefits. The items excluded
in the determination of Adjusted EBITDA are share-based compensation,
amortization of intangibles, amortization of property and equipment, and
restructuring and reorganization charges and certain post-retirement
benefits.
3) Adjusted Operating Expenses
A number of significant
noncash or nonrecurring expenses are reported in the Company’s Cost of
Revenue and Operating Expenses. Management believes that analyzing these
expenses exclusive of these noncash or nonrecurring items provides a
useful measure of the cash invested in the operations of its
business. The items excluded in the determination of Adjusted Operating
Expenses are share-based compensation, amortization of intangible
assets, amortization of property and equipment, and restructuring and
reorganization charges and certain post-retirement benefits. For a
description of the reasons these items are adjusted, please refer to the “Non-IFRS
Measures” section of the Q2-F2019 MD&A.
