VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Absolute (TSX: ABT) (“Absolute” or the “Company”), the leader in endpoint resilience, today announced its financial results for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2019. All dollar figures are unaudited and stated in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
“Enterprises are expected to spend over $124 billion on IT security this year(2), much of it on endpoint controls, and yet, 70 percent of all breaches occur on the endpoint(3). The layering of multiple agents, the fragmentation, complexity and scale, can result in the vulnerability or decay of endpoint controls,” said Christy Wyatt, Chief Executive Officer at Absolute. “Absolute’s opportunity is tremendous, being uniquely positioned to help the modern enterprise with our persistence and resilience offerings which fill a critical gap in healing endpoints and maintaining compliance.”

Notes:
1. “Adjusted EBITDA” is used as a profitability measure. Please refer to the “Non-IFRS Measures” section of our Q3-F2019 MD&A for further discussion on this measure.
2. Gartner forecasts worldwide information security spending to exceed 124 billion in 2019.
3. IDC says 70% of breaches originate on the endpoint.
4. 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 a “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 Q3-F2019 MD&A.
5. Commercial recurring revenue represents revenue derived from Cloud Services (as defined in our Q3-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 is increasing its expectation for Adjusted EBITDA from between 16% and 19% of revenue to between 18% and 20% of revenue;
- The Company is decreasing its expectation for cash from operating activities from between 10% and 14% of revenue to between 8% and 12% of revenue; and
- The Company is decreasing its expectation for F2019 capital expenditures from between $3.5 million and $4.0 million to between $3.0 million and $3.5 million.

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
Q3-F2019 MD&A.
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 Q3-F2019 MD&A.
