Financial Analyst

Commvault's Q1 FY2025 results demonstrate robust growth and financial health, signaling positive momentum for the data management solutions provider. The 13% year-over-year revenue growth to $224.7 million and 17% increase in annualized recurring revenue (ARR) to $803 million are particularly noteworthy. These figures suggest strong market demand and successful execution of the company's subscription-based business model.

The subscription revenue growth of 28% year-over-year, reaching $124.1 million, is a standout metric. This shift towards recurring revenue streams typically leads to more predictable cash flows and higher customer lifetime value. The subscription ARR growth of 27% to $636 million further reinforces this trend, indicating a solid foundation for future growth.

Profitability metrics also paint a positive picture. The non-GAAP operating margin of 21.5% shows efficient cost management, while the strong free cash flow of $43.8 million provides financial flexibility for investments and shareholder returns. The $51.4 million in share repurchases demonstrates confidence in the company's valuation and commitment to returning value to shareholders.

Looking ahead, the guidance for Q2 and full-year FY2025 suggests continued growth, with full-year revenue expected between $915 million and $925 million. The projected 15% year-over-year ARR growth and 23-25% subscription ARR growth indicate sustained momentum in the core business.

Overall, Commvault's financial performance and outlook appear strong, positioning the company well in the competitive data management and protection market. However, investors should monitor the broader economic environment and potential impacts on enterprise IT spending, which could affect Commvault's growth trajectory.

Tech Expert

Commvault's impressive financial results underscore the growing importance of data resilience and recovery solutions in today's digital landscape. The company's focus on empowering customers to "regularly test their readiness and quickly recover their data and applications" is resonating strongly in a market increasingly concerned with cybersecurity threats and data integrity.

The 28% year-over-year growth in subscription revenue highlights a successful transition to a cloud-centric, subscription-based model. This shift aligns with broader industry trends towards flexible, scalable solutions that can adapt to rapidly changing IT environments. It also suggests that Commvault is effectively competing against both legacy backup providers and newer cloud-native challengers.

The strong ARR growth, particularly in subscriptions, indicates that Commvault is not only acquiring new customers but also expanding its footprint within existing accounts. This 'land and expand' strategy is important in the enterprise software market, where vendor lock-in and switching costs can be significant.

However, it's important to note that the data management and protection space is highly competitive, with players like Veeam, Rubrik and Cohesity also vying for market share. Commvault's ability to maintain its growth trajectory will depend on continued innovation in areas such as AI-driven data insights, multi-cloud data management and ransomware protection.

The emphasis on testing and rapid recovery in CEO Sanjay Mirchandani's statement suggests that Commvault is focusing on differentiating through robust disaster recovery and business continuity capabilities. This approach could be particularly appealing to enterprises grappling with increasingly sophisticated cyber threats and stringent regulatory requirements around data protection and availability.

As organizations continue to generate and rely on vast amounts of data, Commvault's position as a leader in data resilience solutions bodes well for its future prospects, provided it can continue to innovate and adapt to evolving customer needs and technological shifts.

TINTON FALLS, N.J., July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Commvault [Nasdaq: CVLT] today announced its financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2024. 

"The need for resilience is paramount and we are leading the charge," said Sanjay Mirchandani, Commvault's President and CEO. "Our ability to empower customers globally, to regularly test their readiness and quickly recover their data and applications is not only a differentiator, but enabled Commvault to start the fiscal year strong, generating 13% total revenue growth and 17% annualized recurring revenue growth in fiscal Q1."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Commvault has provided in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP income from operations (EBIT), non-GAAP income from operations margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP free cash flow, annualized recurring revenue (ARR) and subscription ARR. This financial information has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Commvault uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and make operating decisions. In addition, Commvault believes these non-GAAP operating measures are useful to investors, when used as a supplement to GAAP financial measures, in evaluating Commvault's ongoing operational performance. Commvault believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing its financial results with other companies in Commvault's industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to the investment community. Commvault has also provided its revenues on a constant currency basis. Commvault analyzes revenue growth on a constant currency basis in order to provide a comparable framework for assessing how the business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations.

All of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which are included in this press release.

Non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP income from operations margin. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude noncash stock-based compensation charges and additional Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA) and related payroll tax expense incurred by Commvault when employees exercise in-the-money stock options or vest in restricted stock awards. Commvault has also excluded restructuring costs, noncash amortization of intangible assets, litigation settlement, and business combination costs from its non-GAAP results. These expenses are further discussed in Table IV. Commvault believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful metrics for management and investors because they compare Commvault's core operating results over multiple periods.  When evaluating the performance of Commvault's operating results and developing short- and long-term plans, Commvault does not consider such expenses. 

Although noncash stock-based compensation and the additional FICA and related payroll tax expenses are necessary to attract and retain employees, Commvault places its primary emphasis on stockholder dilution as compared to the accounting charges related to such equity compensation plans. Commvault believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude noncash stock-based compensation expense and the additional FICA and related payroll tax expenses incurred on stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock awards allow investors to make meaningful comparisons between Commvault's operating results and those of other companies.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP income from operations margin.  The most significant limitation is that these non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain operating costs, primarily related to noncash stock-based compensation, which is of a recurring nature. Noncash stock-based compensation has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in Commvault's operating results.  In addition, noncash stock-based compensation is an important part of Commvault's employees' compensation and can have a significant impact on their performance. The following table presents the stock-based compensation expense included in cost of revenues, sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative ($ in thousands):  

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023
Cost of revenues	$              1,581		$              1,690
Sales and marketing	9,486		9,704
Research and development	5,164		5,347
General and administrative	6,165		6,983
Stock-based compensation expense	$            22,396		$            23,724

The table above excludes stock-based compensation expense related to the Company's restructuring activities described below in Note 6.

The components that Commvault excludes in its non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the components that its peer companies exclude when they report their non-GAAP financial measures. Due to the limitations related to the use of non-GAAP measures, Commvault's management assists investors by providing a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Commvault's management uses non-GAAP financial measures only in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP. 

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS).  In addition to the adjustments discussed in non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS incorporates a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 24%. Beginning in fiscal 2025, Commvault lowered its estimated non-GAAP effective tax rate from 27% to 24%.

Commvault anticipates that in any given period its non-GAAP tax rate may be either higher or lower than the GAAP tax rate as evidenced by historical fluctuations. The GAAP tax rates in recent fiscal years were not meaningful percentages due to the dollar amount of GAAP pre-tax income.  For the same reason as the GAAP tax rates, the estimated cash tax rates in recent fiscal years are not meaningful percentages. Commvault defines its cash tax rate as the total amount of cash income taxes payable for the fiscal year divided by consolidated GAAP pre-tax income. Over time, Commvault believes its GAAP and cash tax rates will align.

Commvault considers non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS useful metrics for Commvault management and its investors for the same basic reasons that Commvault uses non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP income from operations margin. In addition, the same limitations as well as management actions to compensate for such limitations described above also apply to Commvault's use of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS.

Non-GAAP free cash flow.  Commvault defines this non-GAAP financial measure as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. Commvault considers non-GAAP free cash flow a useful metric for Commvault management and its investors in evaluating Commvault's ability to generate cash from its business operations. In addition, the same limitations as well as management actions to compensate for such limitations described above also apply to Commvault's use of non-GAAP free cash flow.

Forward-looking non-GAAP measures. In this press release, Commvault presents certain forward-looking non-GAAP metrics. Commvault cannot provide a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP metric without unreasonable efforts, as certain financial information, the probable significance of which may be material, is not available and cannot be reasonably estimated.

Notes

1. Annualized recurring revenue (ARR) is defined as the annualized recurring value of all active contracts at the end of a reporting period.  It includes the following contract types: subscription (including term license contracts, SaaS and utility software), maintenance contracts related to perpetual licenses, other extended maintenance contracts (enterprise support), and managed services. It excludes any element of the arrangement that is not expected to recur, primarily perpetual licenses and most professional services. Subscription ARR includes only term license contracts, SaaS and utility software arrangements. Contracts are annualized by dividing the total contract value by the number of days in the contract term, then multiplying by 365.
    
   ARR should be viewed independently of GAAP revenue, deferred revenue and unbilled revenue and is not intended to be combined with or to replace those items. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue. Management believes that reviewing this metric, in addition to GAAP results, helps investors and financial analysts understand the value of Commvault's recurring revenue streams presented on an annualized basis.
    
2. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in Financial Statement Table IV included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included under the heading "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
    
3. Commvault does not provide forward-looking guidance on a GAAP basis as certain financial information, the probable significance of which cannot be determined, is not available and cannot be reasonably estimated. See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for additional explanation.
    
4. Represents noncash stock-based compensation charges associated with restricted stock units granted and our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, exclusive of stock-based compensation expense related to Commvault's restructuring activities described below in Note 6.
    
5. Represents additional FICA and related payroll tax expenses incurred by Commvault when employees exercise in-the-money stock options or vest in restricted stock awards.
    
6. These restructuring charges relate primarily to severance and related costs associated with headcount reductions and stock-based compensation related to modifications of existing unvested awards granted to certain employees impacted by the restructuring plan.
    
7. Represents noncash amortization of intangible assets.
    
8. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we entered into a settlement agreement resulting in a payment of approximately $1.5 million which resolved certain legal matters. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, approximately $0.7 million was recorded in general and administrative expenses and the remaining $0.8 million was incurred in a prior period that is not presented in the consolidated statements of operations.
    
9. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, Commvault incurred costs related to the acquisition of Appranix, Inc., including legal, accounting and advisory services. Management believes, when used as a supplement to GAAP results, that the exclusion of these costs will help investors and financial analysts understand Commvault's operating results and underlying operational trends as compared to other periods.
    
10. The provision for income taxes is adjusted to reflect Commvault's estimated non-GAAP effective tax rate of 24% for fiscal 2025, and 27% for fiscal 2024. Beginning in fiscal 2025, Commvault lowered its estimated non-GAAP effective tax rate from 27% to 24%. Commvault believes that a 24% rate more closely aligns with its effective tax rate expectations over the next few years.
