Qualys Announces Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

GAAP EPS: $0.56; Non-GAAP EPS: $0.77

Raises 2020 Revenue Guidance to $362.4-$363.0 million

Raises 2020 GAAP EPS Guidance to $2.04-$2.06

Raises 2020 Non-GAAP EPS Guidance to $2.85-$2.87

Foster City, Calif., – November 4, 2020 – Qualys, Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS), a pioneer and leading provider of disruptive cloud-based IT, security and compliance solutions, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020. For the quarter, the Company reported revenues of $93.1 million, net income under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) of $22.7 million, non-GAAP net income of $31.4 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $45.1 million, GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.56, and non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.77.

“Joo Mi and I are pleased to report another strong quarter with increased adoption of our Vulnerability Management, Detection and Response (VMDR®) application and continued growth in Qualys Cloud Agent subscriptions with approximately 50 million agents purchased. We have also seen significant early adoption of our new Patch Management application and are excited about the recent introduction of our Multi-Vector EDR solution, both of which are natively integrated into our cloud platform,” said Philippe Courtot, chairman and CEO of Qualys. “We are now in a unique position to enable our customers to consolidate their IT, security and compliance stack, while drastically reducing their total cost of ownership. In addition, with our integrated and always up-to-date Global IT Asset Inventory application, customers can now regain full visibility across their entire hybrid environment, which is critical as they simply cannot effectively secure what they do not know or see.”

Fourth Quarter 2020 Product Highlights

Looking ahead, we are enthused about the additional solutions that we plan to introduce soon:

 

   

Container Runtime Security, which provides runtime defense and protection capabilities for containerized applications.

 

   

Additional Detection and Response offerings (DRs) such as SaaS DR, Cloud DR and Mobile DR.

 

   

Granular Access Control module, an extension to our Global IT Asset Inventory application.

 

   

Multi-Vector EDR will be available for Linux environments. In addition, an Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) extension to our Multi-Vector EDR solution will be available in Q1 2021.

 

   

Major update to our passive scanning capabilities that will significantly expand our coverage of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) / Operational Technology (OT) as well as IoT (Internet of Things) devices.

 

   

Data Lake / Analytics / SIEM or what is now called XDR platform, which seamlessly integrates all our current and forthcoming detection and response solutions or DRs, has now entered beta with 10 design partners, and we are planning for it to go live by the end of Q1 2021.

Today, we have a strong base of engineering talent in Pune with over 900 employees located there, helping us drive these new initiatives that open significant incremental market opportunities. Finally, we are also building a marketing platform that, combined with increased investment in sales management and capacity, will drive incremental future profitable growth.


We invite you to register for our forthcoming security conference QSC, where we will showcase all of these new solutions. You can access the agenda and register for the conference at www.qualys.com/qsc/2020/virtual/. Replays of the sessions will be available on-demand at the end of the day.

Financial Performance Outlook

Based on information as of today, November 4, 2020, Qualys is issuing the following financial guidance for the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2020. The Company emphasizes that the guidance is subject to various important cautionary factors referenced in the section entitled “Legal Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below, including risks and uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fourth Quarter 2020 Guidance: Management expects revenues for the fourth quarter of 2020 to be in the range of $94.2 million to $94.8 million, representing 11% to 12% growth over the same quarter in 2019. GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.39 to $0.41, which assumes an effective income tax rate of 24%. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.69 to $0.71, which assumes a non-GAAP effective income tax rate of 21%. Fourth quarter 2020 net income per diluted share estimates are based on approximately 40.7 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the quarter.

Full Year 2020 Guidance: Management expects revenues for the full year 2020 to be in the range of $362.4 million to $363.0 million, representing 13% growth over 2019.

Legal Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. Forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements related to: our expectations regarding our Qualys Cloud Platform innovation and the capabilities of our platform; our expectations regarding the growth, benefits and market acceptance of our VMDR application and its ability to complement and promote additional sales of our other products; our expectations regarding the market opportunities for our Multi-Vector EDR solution and upcoming Data Lake / SIEM application; the benefits of our new and upcoming products, features, integrations, collaborations and joint solutions; our strategy and our business model and our ability to execute such strategy; our guidance for revenues, GAAP EPS and non-GAAP EPS for the fourth quarter and full year 2020; and our expectations for the number of weighted average diluted shares outstanding and the GAAP and non-GAAP effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter and full year 2020. Our expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks include our ability to continue to develop platform capabilities and solutions; the ability of our platform and solutions to perform as intended; customer acceptance and purchase of our existing solutions and new solutions; real or perceived defects, errors or vulnerabilities in our products or services; our ability to retain existing customers and generate new customers; the budgeting cycles, seasonal buying patterns and length of our sales cycle; the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related public health measures on our business; our ability to manage costs as we increase our customer base and the number of our platform solutions; the market for cloud solutions for IT security and compliance not increasing at the rate we expect; competition from other products and services; fluctuations in currency exchange rates, unexpected fluctuations in our effective income tax rate on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, our ability to effectively manage our rapid growth and our ability to anticipate future market needs and opportunities; any unanticipated accounting charges; and general market, political, economic and business conditions in the United States as well as globally. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are also subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those more fully described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 10, 2020.

The forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to Qualys as of the date hereof, and Qualys disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, Qualys provides investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest expense, interest income and other income (expense), net, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and non-recurring expenses that do not reflect ongoing costs of operating the business) and non-GAAP free cash flows (defined as cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and principal payments under capital lease obligations).

In computing non-GAAP financial measures, Qualys excludes the effects of stock-based compensation expense, and non-recurring expenses that do not reflect ongoing costs of operating the business. Qualys believes that these non-GAAP financial measures help illustrate underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the income or expenses, as well as the related tax effects, that are excluded in non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP free cash flows.


Furthermore, Qualys uses some of these non-GAAP financial measures to establish budgets and operational goals for managing its business and evaluating its performance. Qualys believes that non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP free cash flows provide additional tools for investors to use in comparing its recurring core business operating results over multiple periods with other companies in its industry.

Although Qualys does not focus on quarterly billings, Qualys provides calculated current billings (defined as total revenues recognized in a period plus the sequential change in current deferred revenue in the corresponding period) to assist investors and analysts in assessing its operating performance.

Qualys has not reconciled non-GAAP net income per diluted share guidance to GAAP net income per diluted share guidance because Qualys does not provide guidance on the various reconciling cash and non-cash items between GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income (i.e., stock-based compensation and non-recurring expenses). The actual dollar amount of reconciling items in the fourth quarter and full year 2020 is likely to have a significant impact on the Company’s GAAP net income per diluted share in the fourth quarter and full year 2020. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP net income per diluted share guidance to the GAAP net income per diluted share guidance is not available without unreasonable effort.

In order to provide a more complete picture of recurring core operating business results, the Company’s non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share include tax adjustments required to achieve the effective income tax rate on a non-GAAP basis, which could differ from the GAAP effective income tax rate. The Company believes its estimated non-GAAP effective income tax rate of 21% in 2020 is a reasonable estimate under its global operating structure. The Company may adjust this rate during the year to take into account events or trends that it believes materially impact the estimated annual rate. The non-GAAP effective income tax rate could be subject to change for a number of reasons, including but not limited to, significant changes resulting from tax legislation, material changes in geographic mix of revenues and expenses and other significant events.

The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included with the financial statements contained in this press release. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating its business internally and as such has determined that it is important to provide this information to investors.
