SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ForgeRock, Inc. (NYSE: FORG), a global leader in digital identity, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

“Q2 was a very strong quarter and our ARR growth accelerated sequentially to 25% year-over-year, ending at $251 million,” said Fran Rosch, CEO of ForgeRock. “Our net new ARR growth of $14 million in the quarter was 63% higher than the same period last year and our growth year to date was driven by the acquisition of large customers such as Carl Zeiss AG, the City of Toronto, Domino's Pizza Enterprises Ltd. and Riyad Bank. Our SaaS growth continues to be strong in Q2, with new SaaS logos representing 43% of new customers in Q2 based on count and 60% based on ARR.”

“We continue to work closely with Thoma Bravo to support the process to close our pending acquisition,” Rosch added. “We look forward to completing the review process with the Department of Justice and partnering with Thoma Bravo to drive further innovation and benefits for our customers, employees, partners and investors.”

“Our total revenue grew 22% year-over-year in Q2 and our subscription SaaS, support & maintenance revenue grew 29% year-over-year,” said John Fernandez, CFO of ForgeRock. “Our quarterly subscription SaaS business combined with our support & maintenance revenue now represents 65% of our total revenue, which provides us with increasing revenue visibility as we scale. We remain focused on achieving non-GAAP operating margin profitability in Q4, especially as we have surpassed $250 million in ARR, joining the ranks of the world's most successful software companies. Our GAAP operating margin was (52)% in Q2 and includes the impact of acquisition-related costs, and (47)% in Q2 of the prior year. Our non-GAAP operating margin in Q2 of (25)% was a significant improvement over the (30)% we experienced in Q2 of the prior year.”

ForgeRock uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, which are described further below and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure after the presentation of our GAAP financial statements.

Transaction with Thoma Bravo

As previously reported, the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) issued a Second Request pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”) in connection with its review of the proposed acquisition of ForgeRock by Thoma Bravo. In February 2023, ForgeRock and entities affiliated with Thoma Bravo entered into an agreement (the “Timing Agreement”) with the DOJ in connection with the proposed acquisition and the Second Request. Under the Timing Agreement, ForgeRock and Thoma Bravo agreed not to consummate the proposed acquisition less than 75 days after compliance with the Second Request. ForgeRock continues to cooperate with the DOJ in connection with its review of the proposed acquisition and expects to consummate the transaction in the third quarter of 2023.

Due to the Company's pending acquisition by Thoma Bravo, there will not be a conference call or live webcast to discuss these financial results. In addition, ForgeRock has suspended its financial guidance as a result of the pending transaction.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Metrics:

Besides financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), ForgeRock believes that evaluating its ongoing operating results may be difficult if limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, ForgeRock uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its operations. We use non-GAAP financial measures to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare our annual budget, to monitor and assess our liquidity, and to develop short-term and long-term operating plans. We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures we review are each a useful measure to us and to our investors because they provide consistency and comparability with our past performance and between periods, as these metrics generally eliminate the effects of the variability of certain charges and expenses that may not reflect our overall operating performance and liquidity. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures, when taken collectively with GAAP financial information, can be helpful to us and to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past performance and assists in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP results.

ForgeRock presents non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP sales and marketing, non-GAAP general and administrative, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP net loss per share, all of which exclude acquisition-related costs, stock-based compensation expense, and certain of which exclude the tax effect on the provision for (benefit from) income taxes related to such excluded items. ForgeRock excludes acquisition-related costs because they are unrelated to our current operations and are neither comparable to the prior period nor indicative of future results. We also exclude stock-based compensation expense as it can vary significantly from period to period based on share price and the timing, size and nature of equity awards. As such, ForgeRock and many investors and analysts exclude stock-based compensation expense to better evaluate its operating performance and cash spending levels relative to its industry sector and competitors.

ForgeRock presents adjusted EBITDA, which is also a non-GAAP financial measure. We define adjusted EBITDA as GAAP operating loss, adjusted for depreciation, acquisition-related costs and stock-based compensation expense. ForgeRock excludes certain items that it believes are not good indicators of ForgeRock’s current or future operating performance. These items are depreciation, acquisition-related costs and stock-based compensation. ForgeRock excludes depreciation given its standard exclusion in EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA results. In addition, the frequency and amount of such charges can vary significantly based on the size and timing of the transactions.

ForgeRock also presents free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define free cash flow as net cash used in operating activities less cash used for purchases of property and equipment. ForgeRock provides free cash flow as it is a commonly used non-GAAP financial measure to indicate the amount of cash needed to fund its operations and capital expenditures.

The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by our management about which expenses are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

ForgeRock also uses the key metric Annualized Recurring Revenue (“ARR”), to evaluate its operations. We believe that ARR is a key metric because it is driven by our ability to acquire new customers and to maintain and expand our relationship with existing customers. We define ARR as the annualized value of all contractual subscription agreements as of the end of the period. To the extent that we are negotiating a renewal with a customer after the expiration of the subscription, we continue to include that revenue in ARR if we are actively in discussion with such an organization for a new subscription or renewal, or until such organization notifies us that it is not renewing its subscription. We perform this calculation on an individual customer basis by dividing the total dollar amount of the customer’s contract by the total contract term stated in months and multiplying this amount by 12 to annualize. Calculated ARR for each individual customer is then aggregated to arrive at total ARR.

ARR does not have a standardized meaning and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue, deferred revenue and remaining performance obligations computed and/or disclosed in accordance with GAAP and is not intended to be combined with or to replace any of those items. Specifically, ARR, as calculated under the definition herein, has the effect of normalizing the impact of revenue recognition for term-based subscription license agreements. ARR is calculated based upon annualized contract value and not actual GAAP revenue. Under ASC 606, for term-based subscription license agreements, we recognize approximately half of the total contract value upfront as license revenue, with the remainder attributable to maintenance and support that is recognized ratably over the license term. Annualizing actual GAAP revenue for any particular period could result in a meaningful difference from our ARR calculation, particularly when we are experiencing increases or decreases in the mix of multi-year term licenses. ARR is not a forecast and the active contracts at the date used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended by our customers.
