“Operating in a challenging global economic environment, we delivered second quarter non-GAAP total revenue of $246.6 million, representing 7% year-over-year growth, and at the high end of our outlook range,” said Kevin Thompson, president and CEO, SolarWinds. “Despite evidence of ongoing budget pressures for IT pros, we continue to see a bright spot for SolarWinds and an opportunity to continue capturing market share. Our business was built to disrupt markets through a set of integrated products that combine affordability with ease of use. As we have seen over the previous several months, the work that IT organizations and MSPs do to keep the applications and systems that businesses rely on up and running is as critical as ever. We remain focused on helping IT Pros and MSPs maintain and secure business-critical environments, and we believe that our unique approach to solving IT management challenges positions us to be a partner of choice moving forward.”  

“We executed disciplined expense management in the quarter, generating $119.1 million of Adjusted EBITDA, representing a 48% Adjusted EBITDA margin that increased sequentially over three percentage points from the first quarter,” added Bart Kalsu, executive vice president and CFO, SolarWinds. “Cash collections were strong in the quarter and contributed to the conversion of 95% of our Adjusted EBITDA into Unlevered Free Cash Flow. Additionally, our recurring revenue mix continued to grow to 86% in the second quarter, and included better-than-expected sales of our Orion product portfolio via our new subscription pricing option. We pride ourselves in being adaptable to changing market conditions, whether that requires responding to customer demands or maximizing our business for sustainable growth and best-in-class profitability.”

Additional highlights for the second quarter of 2020 include:

• SolarWinds closed the largest commercial transaction in its history in the second quarter, as a large global financial institution further standardized on SolarWinds’ monitoring and management technology.

• In April 2020, SolarWinds introduced new subscription-based pricing for its popular on-premises products as an additional option alongside the company’s perpetual licensing model. As IT organizations continue to face a wide range of challenges, this new pricing model offers greater flexibility and predictability for budgets, which are both front and center for IT leaders in organizations around the world.

• SolarWinds also announced the release of SolarWinds Service Desk Enterprise, which offers advanced ITSM capabilities to meet the heightened security expectations of modern enterprises and improve key service management processes for employees. Mature organizations require an enhanced level of dedicated support, and SolarWinds Service Desk Enterprise includes on-boarding management and a dedicated customer success partner to help ensure successful adoption making this service desk offering one of the best values in the ITSM market today.

• Showcasing the company’s ongoing commitment to helping IT Pros achieve scale, simplification and complete visibility across hybrid IT environments, SolarWinds announced enhancements across its IT operations management portfolio. The updates include new versions of network, systems, and database management products designed to deliver unprecedented depth in monitoring end-to-end hybrid commercial-off-the-shelf and custom application delivery and performance.

• During the quarter, SolarWinds earned a number of industry and customer recognitions for its IT management and MSP products. Notably, TrustRadius named nine SolarWinds IT operations management products and one SolarWinds MSP product as 2020 Top Rated award winners across 11 categories. These include Network Performance Monitor (NPM), Server & Application Monitor (SAM), SolarWinds Service Desk for IT Service and IT Management, and Database Performance Analyzer (DPA). SolarWinds SAM was named a winner in the IT Infrastructure Monitoring Tools category of Gartner’s Peer Insights Customers Choice 2020 awards. SolarWinds also won four Stevie Awards in the 2020 American Business Awards program, including a Gold medal for SolarWinds Service Desk.

• SolarWinds further built upon its Customer Success initiatives to drive even greater MSP partner enablement, including an expanded global customer care team, improved onboarding tools, dedicated and enhanced localized customer success management, and new peer-to-peer advisory programs. The newest components expand on key customer success initiatives including the SolarWinds Head Nerds program and the MSP Institute, which provides training and tips through business, sales, marketing, and technical tracks from experts and industry leaders.

Balance Sheet

At June 30, 2020, total cash and cash equivalents were $331.4 million and total debt was $1.9 billion.

The financial results included in this press release are preliminary and pending final review by the company and its external auditors. Financial results will not be final until SolarWinds files its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period. Information about SolarWinds' use of non-GAAP financial measures is provided below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Financial Outlook

As of August 6, 2020, SolarWinds is providing its financial outlook for the third quarter of 2020 and full year 2020. The financial information below represents forward-looking non-GAAP financial information, including an estimate of non-GAAP revenue and revenue growth on a constant currency basis, adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude, among other items mentioned below, stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes, amortization, the impact of purchase accounting from acquisitions and costs related to non-recurring items. We have not reconciled our estimates of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measure as a result of uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, these excluded items in future periods.

Our reported results provide reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP equivalents.  

Financial Outlook for Third Quarter of 2020

SolarWinds’ management currently expects to achieve the following results for the third quarter of 2020:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures to clarify and enhance our understanding, and aid in the period-to-period comparison, of our performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information that is meaningful when assessing our operating performance because they exclude the impact of certain amounts that our management and board of directors do not consider part of core operating results when assessing our operational performance, allocating resources, preparing annual budgets and determining compensation. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures may provide insight to investors into the motivation and decision-making of management in operating the business.

SolarWinds also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are used by investors and security analysts to (a) compare and evaluate its performance from period to period and (b) compare its performance to those of its competitors. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain items that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing and accounting methods, the book value of their assets, their capital structures and the method by which their assets were acquired.

There are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation between companies. Certain items that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures can have a material impact on operating and net income (loss).

As a result, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the most comparable GAAP measures. SolarWinds' management and board of directors compensate for these limitations by using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by reviewing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measure. Set forth in the tables below are the corresponding GAAP financial measures for each non-GAAP financial measure presented. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures that are set forth in the tables below.

Non-GAAP Revenue.We define non-GAAP subscription revenue, non-GAAP maintenance revenue, non-GAAP license revenue, and non-GAAP total revenue as subscription revenue, maintenance revenue, license revenue, and total revenue, respectively, excluding the impact of purchase accounting from acquisitions. The non-GAAP revenue growth rates we provide are calculated using non-GAAP revenue from the comparable prior period. We monitor these measures to assess our performance because we believe our revenue growth rates would be overstated without these adjustments. We believe presenting non-GAAP subscription revenue, non-GAAP maintenance revenue, non-GAAP license revenue and non-GAAP total revenue aids in the comparability between periods and in assessing our overall operating performance.

Non-GAAP Revenue on a Constant Currency Basis. We provide non-GAAP revenue on a constant currency basis to provide a framework for assessing our performance and expectations regarding future performance excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current period results and future period estimated results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. Dollars are converted into U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates in effect during the corresponding prior period presented. We believe that providing non-GAAP revenue on a constant currency basis facilitates the comparison of non-GAAP revenue to prior periods.

Non-GAAP Cost of Revenue and Non-GAAP Operating Income. We provide non-GAAP cost of revenue and non-GAAP operating income and related non-GAAP margins using non-GAAP revenue as discussed above and excluding such items as the write-down of deferred revenue related to purchase accounting, amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense

and related employer-paid payroll taxes, acquisition and other costs and restructuring costs. Management believes these measures are useful for the following reasons:

• Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets. We provide non-GAAP information that excludes expenses related to purchased intangible assets associated with our acquisitions. We believe that eliminating this expense from our non-GAAP measures is useful to investors, because the amortization of acquired intangible assets can be inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of our acquisition transactions, which also vary in frequency from period to period. Accordingly, we analyze the performance of our operations in each period without regard to such expenses.

• Stock-Based Compensation Expense and Related Employer-paid Payroll Taxes. We provide non-GAAP information that excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation and related employer-paid payroll taxes. We believe that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides for a better comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies as the calculations of stock-based compensation vary from period to period and company to company due to different valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. Employer-paid payroll taxes on stock-based compensation is dependent on our stock price and the timing of the taxable events related to the equity awards, over which our management has little control, and does not correlate to the core operation of our business. Because of these unique characteristics of stock-based compensation and related employer-paid payroll taxes, management excludes these expenses when analyzing the organization’s business performance.

• Acquisition and Other Costs. We exclude certain expense items resulting from our take private transaction in early 2016 and other acquisitions, such as legal, accounting and advisory fees, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, costs related to integrating the acquired businesses, deferred compensation, severance and retention expense. In addition, we exclude certain other costs including expense related to our offerings. We consider these adjustments, to some extent, to be unpredictable and dependent on a significant number of factors that are outside of our control. Furthermore, acquisitions result in operating expenses that would not otherwise have been incurred by us in the normal course of our organic business operations. We believe that providing these non-GAAP measures that exclude acquisition and other costs, allows users of our financial statements to better review and understand the historical and current results of our continuing operations, and also facilitates comparisons to our historical results and results of less acquisitive peer companies, both with and without such adjustments.

• Restructuring Costs. We provide non-GAAP information that excludes restructuring costs such as severance and the estimated costs of exiting and terminating facility lease commitments, as they relate to our corporate restructuring and exit activities and costs related to the separation of employment with executives of the Company. These costs are inconsistent in amount and are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of these events. Therefore, although we may incur these types of expenses in the future, we believe that eliminating these costs for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of our operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.

Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) and Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) Per Diluted Share.We believe that the use of non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share is helpful to our investors to clarify and enhance their understanding of past performance and future prospects. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is calculated as net income (loss) excluding the adjustments to non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP cost of revenue and non-GAAP operating income, losses on extinguishment of debt, certain other non-operating gains and losses and the income tax effect of the non-GAAP exclusions. We define non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by the weighted average outstanding common shares.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.We regularly monitor adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, as it is a measure we use to assess our operating performance. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss, excluding the impact of purchase accounting on total revenue, amortization of acquired intangible assets and developed technology, depreciation expense, stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes, restructuring costs, acquisition and other costs, interest expense, net, debt related costs including fees related to our credit agreements, debt extinguishment and refinancing costs, unrealized foreign currency (gains) losses, and income tax expense (benefit). We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by non-GAAP revenue. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of the write-down of deferred revenue due to purchase accounting in connection with acquisitions, and therefore includes revenue that will never be recognized under GAAP; adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the

cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Unlevered Free Cash Flow.Unlevered free cash flow is a measure of our liquidity used by management to evaluate cash flow from operations, after the deduction of capital expenditures and prior to the impact of our capital structure, acquisition and other costs, restructuring costs, employer-paid payroll taxes on stock awards and other one time items, that can be used by us for strategic opportunities and strengthening our balance sheet. However, given our debt obligations, unlevered free cash flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenses.
