A reconciliation between historical GAAP and non-GAAP information is contained in the tables below and the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below contains reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures.

“We experienced strong momentum and balanced growth across our business in the first quarter as current trends in mobile work, education technology and digital health continued to strengthen our value proposition to customers as well as our business results,” said Dean Hager, CEO of Jamf. “The year is off to a great start, and with the strategic acquisition of Wandera, we will enhance our leadership position in security with a uniquely comprehensive platform, including advanced security solutions like zero trust network access. We are excited to round out our offering to provide customers an Apple-first enterprise solution that connects, manages and protects all Apple devices, data and users.”

Recent Business Highlights:

• Announced the acquisition of Wandera, a leader in zero trust cloud security and access for mobile devices, extending our leadership in Apple Enterprise Management.
• Completed the acquisition of the assets of cmdSecurity, a suite of security and compliance tools purpose-built for macOS, extending the security capabilities of our platform.
• Completed the first quarter with 21.8 million Apple devices on our platform and more than 50,000 customers.
• Enhanced security capabilities with extended workflows in the Microsoft security ecosystem and expanded application titles for automated application lifecycle workflows.
• Expanded education capabilities with classroom management for Mac in the Jamf Teacher app and an Android version of the Jamf Parent app, empowering both teachers and parents with management control over all school-issued Apple devices.
• Announced same-day compatibility and key feature support across its product portfolio for Apple’s spring releases, including iOS 14.5, iPadOS 14.5, macOS 11.3 and tvOS 14.5.
• Ranked #22 in the 2021 Fortune Best Workplaces in Technology™, Jamf’s first time being named to this prestigious list.
• Jamf Pro ranked #1 in 23 categories in the Spring 2021 G2 reports, the world’s largest tech marketplace that ranks software and services based on customer reviews.

Financial Outlook:
For the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, excluding Wandera, the company currently expects:

• Total revenue of $82 to $84 million
• Non-GAAP Operating Income of $5.5 to $6.5 million

For the full year 2021, excluding Wandera, the company currently expects:

• Total revenue of $335 to $341 million
• Non-GAAP Operating Income of $27.5 to $31.5 million

We expect the Wandera acquisition to close in the third quarter of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. Provided that the Wandera acquisition closes as expected in the third quarter of 2021, we expect Wandera to contribute an additional $9 to $11 million of revenue for the full year 2021.

• This amount assumes an acquisition close date of early in the third quarter of 2021 and is subject to change.
• This amount reflects the impact of our initial purchase price accounting analysis and is subject to change.

To assist with modeling, for the second quarter of 2021 and full year 2021 amortization is expected to be approximately $8.5 million and $33.9 million, respectively. In addition, for the second quarter of 2021 and full year 2021 stock-based compensation and related payroll taxes is expected to be approximately $5.6 million and $55.7 million, respectively. These amounts exclude any impact of the Wandera acquisition.

Jamf is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking guidance of Non-GAAP Operating Income to GAAP operating income (loss) because certain items are out of Jamf’s control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Historically, these items have included, but are not limited to, acquisition-related expenses and acquisition-related earn-out, costs associated with our secondary offering, amortization and stock-based compensation. Accordingly, a reconciliation for forward-looking Non-GAAP Operating Income is not available without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could result in projected GAAP operating income (loss) being materially less than is indicated by currently estimated Non-GAAP Operating Income.

Conference Call Information:
Jamf will host a conference call and live webcast for analysts and investors at 3:30 p.m. Central Time (4:30 p.m. Eastern Time) on May 11, 2021. The news release with the financial results will be accessible from the company’s website prior to the conference call. Parties in the United States and Canada can access the call by dialing +1 (833) 519-1319, and international parties can access the call by dialing +1 (914) 800-3885.

The webcast will be accessible on Jamf’s investor relations website at https://ir.jamf.com. A telephonic replay of the conference call will be available through Thursday, May 18, 2021. To access the replay, parties should dial (855) 859-2056, or (404) 537-3406 and enter the passcode 7284453#.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
In addition to our results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we believe the non-GAAP measures of Non-GAAP Operating Expenses, Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Profit Margin, Non-GAAP Operating Income, Non-GAAP Operating Income Margin, Non-GAAP Net Income, Unlevered Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash Flow Margin are useful in evaluating our operating performance. Certain of these non-GAAP measures exclude stock-based compensation, amortization expense, acquisition-related expenses, acquisition-related earnout, costs associated with our secondary offering, foreign currency transaction loss, payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation and discrete tax items. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and assists in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP information to supplement their GAAP results. 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 significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the company’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by the company's management about which expenses are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliation tables of the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are included with the financial tables at the end of this release. Jamf strongly encourages investors review our consolidated financial statements included in publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely solely on any single financial measurement or communication.

Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Given these factors, as well as other variables that may affect Jamf’s operating results, you should not rely on forward-looking statements, assume that past financial performance will be a reliable indicator of future performance, or use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. The forward-looking statements included in this press release and on the related teleconference call relate only to events as of the date hereof. Jamf undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

(1) In the first quarter of 2020, the related tax effects of the adjustments to Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) were calculated using the respective statutory tax rate for applicable jurisdictions, which was not materially different from our annual effective tax rate for full year 2020 of approximately 25%. In the first quarter of 2021, our annual effective tax rate was impacted by changes in the domestic valuation allowance. Therefore, we used the annual effective tax rate of (0.5)% in the first quarter of 2021 as this rate was materially different than our statutory rate.
