Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter 2019

  • Revenue: Total revenue was $253 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, up from $189 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, representing 34% growth.
  • Operating Income (Loss): GAAP operating loss was ($20) million, compared to a GAAP operating loss of ($3) million in the same period last year, primarily driven by higher share-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, and acquisition related matters. Non-GAAP operating income was $24 million, compared to a non-GAAP operating income of $17 million in the same period last year.
  • Net Income (Loss) Per Share: GAAP net loss per share was ($0.30), compared to ($0.07) in the same period last year, primarily driven by higher share-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, and acquisition related matters. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.22, compared to $0.23 per diluted share in the same period last year. The fourth quarter of 2019 reflected a 22.5% non-GAAP tax rate, compared to nearly 0% non-GAAP tax rate in our 2018 reporting. There were no material cash taxes given our net operating loss carryforwards.
  • Balance Sheet: Total cash and cash equivalents at the end of the fourth quarter of 2019 was $344 million, which reflects one-time payments related to our recent strategic partnerships. This compares with $583 million at the end of the third quarter of 2019.

Financial Results for the Full Year 2019

  • Revenue: Total revenue was $903 million for 2019, up from $674 million in 2018, representing 34% growth.
  • Operating Income (Loss): GAAP operating loss was ($46) million, compared to a GAAP operating loss of ($16) million in 2018, primarily driven by higher share-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, and acquisition related matters. Non-GAAP operating income was $83 million, compared to a non-GAAP operating income of $59 million in 2018.
  • Net Income (Loss) Per Share: GAAP net loss per share was ($0.64), compared to ($0.33) in 2018, primarily driven by higher share-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, and acquisition related matters. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.82, compared to $0.77 in 2018. 2019 reflected a 22.5% non-GAAP tax rate, compared to a nearly 0% non-GAAP tax rate in 2018 reporting. There were no material cash taxes given our net operating loss carryforwards.

Additional Highlights

  • Announced that Anand Eswaran, former Corporate Vice President for Microsoft’s Global Enterprise Business, has joined the company as its President and Chief Operating Officer.
  • Named a November 2019 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for Unified Communications as a Service Worldwide as reviewed by customers. RingCentral received an overall rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars, based on 125 reviews, as of October 31, 2019.
  • Announced that Carousel, Telarus, and Westcon have been named Platinum Partners by RingCentral, a designation held by RingCentral’s most strategic partners.

Financial Outlook

Full Year 2020 Guidance:

  • Total revenue range of $1.125 to $1.135 billion, representing annual growth of 25% to 26%.
  • Subscriptions revenue range of $1.019 to $1.027 billion, representing annual growth of 25% to 26%.
  • GAAP operating margin between (10.9%) and (9.6%).
  • Non-GAAP operating margin between 9.6% and 9.7%.
  • Non-GAAP tax rate assumed to be 22.5%. No material cash taxes expected given net operating loss carryforwards.
  • Non-GAAP EPS range of $0.93 to $0.94 based on 94.5 million fully diluted shares. This reflects additional imputed shares from the convertible debt due to stock price appreciation and shares issued to Avaya in November 2019, which if excluded would have increased the guidance range by $0.04.
  • Share-based compensation range of $185 to $195 million, amortization of debt discount of $22 million, and amortization of acquired intangibles range of $34 to $36 million.

First Quarter 2020 Guidance:

  • Total revenue range of $257 to $259 million, representing annual growth of 28% to 29%.
  • Subscriptions revenue range of $233 to $235 million, representing annual growth of 28% to 29%.
  • GAAP operating margin range of (10.3%) to (9.5%).
  • Non-GAAP operating margin of 8.0% to 8.1%.
  • Non-GAAP tax rate assumed to be 22.5%. No material cash taxes expected given net operating loss carryforwards.
  • Non-GAAP EPS of $0.18 to $0.19 based on 93.0 million fully diluted shares.
  • Share-based compensation range of $37 to $38 million, amortization of debt discount of $5 million, and amortization of acquired intangibles range of $8.5 to $9.0 million.

For a reconciliation of our forecasted non-GAAP operating margin, see “Reconciliation of Forecasted Operating Margin GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures.” We have not reconciled our non-GAAP EPS to its respective forecasted GAAP measure because we do not provide guidance on it. We do not provide guidance on forecasted GAAP EPS because of the inherent uncertainty and complexity involved in forecasting the intercompany remeasurement gain (loss), gain (loss) associated with investments and strategic partnerships, and provision (benefit) from income taxes, which could be significant reconciling items between the non-GAAP and respective GAAP measures. The intercompany remeasurement gain (loss) is affected by the movement in various exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar, which is difficult to predict and subject to constant change. We do not provide guidance on gain (loss) associated with investments and strategic partnerships as it is based on future share prices, which are difficult to predict and subject to inherent uncertainties. We do not provide guidance on forecasted GAAP tax rates as we do not forecast discrete tax items as they are difficult to predict. The provision (benefit) from income taxes, excluding discrete items, is expected to have an immaterial impact to our GAAP EPS. We utilized a projected long-term tax rate in our computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision. For fiscal 2020, we have determined the projected non-GAAP tax rate to be 22.5%. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements,” including but not limited to, statements regarding our future financial results, our GAAP and non-GAAP guidance, our momentum in mid-market and enterprise, the contribution of the channel, the success of our relationships with AT&T, Avaya, and Atos in broadening our global sales reach, and our market opportunity. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements are: our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of our relationships with AT&T, Avaya, and Atos; our ability to grow at our expected rate of growth; our ability to add and retain larger and enterprise customers and enter new geographies and markets; our ability to continue to release, and gain customer acceptance of, new and improved versions of our services; our ability to compete successfully against existing and new competitors; our ability to enter into and maintain relationships with resellers, carriers and strategic partners; our ability to successfully and timely integrate, and realize the benefits of any significant acquisition we may make; our ability to manage our expenses and growth; and general market, political, economic, and business conditions, as well as those risks and uncertainties included under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.

All forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to RingCentral as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, to review or confirm analysts’ expectations, or to provide interim reports or updates on the progress of the current financial quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our reported financial results and financial outlook include certain Non-GAAP financial measures, including Non-GAAP subscriptions gross margin, Non-GAAP other gross margin, Non-GAAP operating margin, Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, Non-GAAP net income (loss) and Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share. Non-GAAP subscriptions gross margin is defined as Non-GAAP subscriptions gross profit divided by GAAP subscriptions revenue. Non-GAAP other gross margin is defined as Non-GAAP other gross profit divided by GAAP other revenue. Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations is defined as GAAP income (loss) from operations excluding share-based compensation, amortization of acquisition intangibles, and acquisition related matters including transaction costs, integration costs, restructuring costs, and acquisition-related retention payments, as well as changes in the fair value of contingent consideration obligations. Non-GAAP operating margin is defined as Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations divided by total GAAP revenue. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is defined as GAAP net income (loss) excluding share-based compensation, intercompany remeasurement gains or losses, acquisition related matters, amortization of acquisition intangibles, non-cash interest expense associated with amortization of debt discount and issuance costs related to our convertible senior notes, gain (loss) associated with investments and strategic partnerships, tax benefit from release of valuation allowance, and the related income tax effect of these adjustments.

Non-GAAP diluted shares outstanding include the impact on shares used in per share calculations of our outstanding capped call transactions. Our outstanding capped call transactions are anti-dilutive in GAAP earnings per share but are expected to mitigate the dilutive effect of our convertible notes and therefore are included in the calculations of non-GAAP diluted shares outstanding.

We have included Non-GAAP subscriptions gross margin, Non-GAAP other gross margin, Non-GAAP operating margin, Non-GAAP net income (loss), and Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share in this press release because they are key measures used by us to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget, and to develop short and long-term operational plans. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Non-GAAP software subscriptions gross margin, Non-GAAP other gross margin, Non-GAAP operating margin, Non-GAAP net income (loss), and Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share provide useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business.

Although Non-GAAP subscriptions gross margin, Non-GAAP other gross margin, Non-GAAP operating margin, Non-GAAP net income (loss), and Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share are frequently used by investors in their evaluations of companies, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered alongside other financial performance measures.

Reconciliations of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.

Other Measures

Our reported results also include our annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, RingCentral Office® annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, mid-market and enterprise annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, enterprise annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, channel partner annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, and net monthly subscriptions dollar retention. We define our annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions as our monthly recurring subscriptions multiplied by 12. Our monthly recurring subscriptions equal the monthly value of all customer recurring charges contracted at the end of a given month. We believe this metric is a leading indicator of our anticipated subscriptions revenue. We calculate our RingCentral Office® annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions in the same manner as we calculate our annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, except that only customer subscriptions from RingCentral Office® and RingCentral customer engagement solutions customers are included when determining monthly recurring subscriptions for the purposes of calculating this key business metric. We calculate mid-market and enterprise annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions in the same manner as we calculate our RingCentral Office® annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, except that only customer subscriptions from customers generating $25,000 or more in annual recurring revenue are included. We calculate enterprise annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions in the same manner as we calculate our RingCentral Office® annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, except that only customer subscriptions from customers generating $100,000 or more in annual recurring revenue are included. We calculate channel partner annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions in the same manner as we calculate our annualized exit monthly revenue subscriptions, except that only customer subscriptions generated from channel partners are included. We define Dollar Net Change as the quotient of (i) the difference of our Monthly Recurring Subscriptions at the end of a period minus our Monthly Recurring Subscriptions at the beginning of a period minus our Monthly Recurring Subscriptions at the end of the period from new customers we added during the period, (ii) all divided by the number of months in the period. We define our Average Monthly Recurring Subscriptions as the average of the Monthly Recurring Subscriptions at the beginning and end of the measurement period.
