Absolute Reports Fiscal 2020 Fourth Quarter and Annual Financial Results

Absolute (TSX: ABT) (“Absolute” or the “Company”), the leader in Endpoint ResilienceTM solutions, today announced its financial results for the three months and year ended June 30, 2020. All dollar figures are stated in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

“The recent structural changes to enterprise and education organizations brought on by remote work and distance learning have further highlighted our market opportunity,” said Christy Wyatt, President and CEO of Absolute. “We saw a strong fourth quarter and record fiscal year, thanks to our relentless execution and focus on helping our customers. Going into fiscal 2021, as the market continues to shift and the future of work and learning remains very fluid, a new era in endpoint security is emerging. IT and Security teams cannot solely rely on traditional network-based security products to protect vulnerable devices, data and users. Rather, they need to shift their focus to endpoint strategies with an undeletable defense platform that delivers complete visibility and control over all devices, no matter where they connect from, and enables the ability to self-heal critical security controls and productivity tools dynamically.”

Notes:

  1. Commercial recurring revenue represents revenue derived from Cloud Services (as defined in the Q4-F2020 MD&A) and recurring managed professional services, both of which are included as part of Total ARR. Other revenue represents revenue derived from non-recurring professional services and ancillary product lines, including consumer products.
  2. “Adjusted EBITDA” (as defined in the Q4-F2020 MD&A) is used as a profitability measure. Please refer to the “Non-IFRS Measures” section of the Q4-F2020 MD&A for further discussion on this and other non-IFRS measures.
  3. The Company adopted IFRS 16, “Leases” (“IFRS 16”), effective July 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach (please refer to the “New Accounting Pronouncements” section of the Q4-F2020 MD&A and to Note 2(e) in the notes to the F2020 Consolidated Financial Statements). Accordingly, financial information presented for fiscal 2019 has not been adjusted for the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16. Figures presented that include the title “pre-IFRS 16” represent operating results had IFRS 16 not been adopted, and provide a meaningful comparative to similar operating results for fiscal 2019.

F2021 Financial Outlook

The Company’s financial outlook for its 2021 fiscal year (July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2021) is as follows:

  • Revenue is expected to be between $112 million and $118 million, representing 7% to 13% annual growth.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between 20% and 24% of revenue.
  • Cash from operating activities is expected to be between 22% and 34% of revenue.
  • Capital expenditures are expected to be between $3.0 million and $4.0 million.

The foregoing outlook and expectations constitute forward-looking statements and financial outlook and are qualified in their entirety by the “Forward-Looking Statements” cautionary statement below.

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 Q4-F2020 MD&A.

These measures, as well as their method of calculation or reconciliation to IFRS measures, are as follows:

1) Total ARR, Net ARR Retention and ARR 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 and generating revenue, measured by Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”), as an indicator of its future revenues.

Note that prior to Q4-F2020, we referred to ARR as Annual Contract Value (“ACV”); however, we have changed the nomenclature of this measure as we believe ARR is more aligned with industry norms. There has been no change in the method by which this measure (and related measures below) is calculated.

Total ARR 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 ARR Retention measures the percentage increase or decrease in Total ARR at the end of a period for the customers that made up Total ARR at the beginning of the same period. This metric provides insight into the effectiveness of Absolute’s customer retention and expansion functions. ARR from New Customers measures the addition to the Total ARR from sales to new commercial customers during the period.

We believe that increases in the amount of ARR from New Customers, and improvement in the Company’s Net ARR Retention, will grow Total ARR and, in turn, our future revenues.

2) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA – pre-IFRS 16

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 property and equipment and right of use assets, 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 property and equipment and right of use assets, and restructuring and reorganization charges and certain post-retirement benefits.

Management believes that presenting F2020 Adjusted EBITDA on a pre-IFRS 16 basis provides a meaningful comparative to F2019 Adjusted EBITDA.
