Q1 FY23 Financial Results

Total revenue (GAAP and non-GAAP) for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $208.8 million, compared with $190.3 million (GAAP and non-GAAP) in the same quarter one year ago. A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results is included in the financial tables below.

Product revenue (GAAP and non-GAAP) for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $98.3 million, which was approximately 47% of total revenue in the period. This compares with product revenue (GAAP and non-GAAP) of $82.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, which was approximately 43% of total revenue in the period.

Service revenue (GAAP and non-GAAP) for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $110.6 million, or approximately 53% of total revenue in the period. This compares with service revenue (GAAP and non-GAAP) of $108.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, which was approximately 57% of total revenue for the period.

NETSCOUT’s loss from operations (GAAP) was $9.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, compared with a loss from operations (GAAP) of $10.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. Loss from operations (GAAP) in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 included a $1.8 million restructuring charge associated with one-time termination benefits that related to the restructuring of certain departments to better align functions. Non-GAAP EBITDA from operations in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $29.8 million, or 14.3% of non-GAAP quarterly revenue for the period. This compares to non-GAAP EBITDA from operations of $27.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, or 14.5% of non-GAAP quarterly revenue for the period. The Company’s operating margin (GAAP) was negative 4.4% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, versus negative 5.6% in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Non-GAAP income from operations was $24.5 million with a non-GAAP operating margin of 11.7% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. This compares to non-GAAP income from operations of $21.8 million and a non-GAAP operating margin of 11.4% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022.

Net loss (GAAP) for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $7.1 million, or $0.10 per share (diluted), versus net loss (GAAP) of $11.3 million, or $0.15 per share (diluted), for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 was $18.1 million, or $0.24 per share (diluted), compared with $15.0 million, or $0.20 per share (diluted), for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, cash, cash equivalents, and short and long-term marketable securities were $374.6 million, compared with $703.2 million as of March 31, 2022, and $493.9 million as of June 30, 2021. The change in cash, cash equivalents, and short and long-term marketable securities was driven by two factors. First, NETSCOUT entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement in its first quarter of fiscal year 2023 to repurchase up to $150 million of the Company’s common stock. Second, NETSCOUT repaid $150 million of its outstanding debt balance under its revolving credit facility during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. The Company’s debt repayment reduced the outstanding debt balance under its revolving credit facility to $200 million as of June 30, 2022. The Company’s $800 million revolving credit facility will expire in July 2026.

Financial Outlook:

NETSCOUT is reiterating its revenue outlook (GAAP and non-GAAP) as well as its non-GAAP diluted net income per share outlook for fiscal year 2023, all of which were previously issued by the Company on May 5, 2022, in its fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2022 earnings press release. In addition, to reflect the first-quarter restructuring charge, the Company is updating its target range for GAAP diluted net income per share in fiscal year 2023. NETSCOUT’s current financial outlook for fiscal year 2023 is as follows:

• Revenue (GAAP and non-GAAP) is expected to remain in the range of $895 million to $925 million.
• GAAP net income per share (diluted) is now expected to be in the range of $0.62 to $0.68, versus the prior outlook range of $0.63 to $0.69. Expectations for non-GAAP net income per share (diluted) remain in the range of $1.97 to $2.03.
• A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP numbers for NETSCOUT’s fiscal year 2023 outlook is included in the financial tables below.

Recent Developments and Highlights

• During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, NETSCOUT was awarded the Cyber Defense Magazine Global InfoSec Award for Market Leadership in Network Detection and Response, the Fortress Cybersecurity Award for the Threat Detection Category, and the Intellyx Digital Innovator Award for Enterprise Digital Transformation.
• In July 2022, NETSCOUT announced that it had launched Omnis AIF, a new and innovative AI-based solution that enables its customers to automatically and instantaneously block a large proportion of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Omnis AIF simplifies NETSCOUT’s customers’ operations while also minimizing their business risks. By leveraging NETSCOUT’s ATLAS® network and providing a source of visibility into DDoS attack activity on the Internet, Omnis AIF enables smarter automated DDoS attack blocking. This intelligence is continuously updated and shared in real-time with NETSCOUT's Arbor Threat Mitigation System (TMS) and Omnis® AED Smart DDoS attack protection solutions via the Omnis ATLAS Intelligence Feed (AIF). The new Omnis AIF content enables TMS and AED to identify, in advance, the IP addresses of devices across the Internet that are being used to launch DDoS attacks. As a result, Omnis AIF has the ability to instantly block up to 90% of attack traffic, without conducting further analysis, during an attack.
• In June 2022, NETSCOUT revealed the findings of a Forrester Consulting Total Economic Impact™ Study, commissioned by NETSCOUT, that evaluated the cost savings and business benefits for organizations deploying NETSCOUT Omnis AED to protect against DDoS cyberattacks. This study was based on a financial assessment and interviews with four decision-makers who had implemented the NETSCOUT Omnis AED solution. As part of the study, Forrester found that, over the span of three years, Omnis AED had provided a composite organization with an overall return on investment of 201%, improved DDoS protection with greater control in configuring existing security systems, greater coverage with connected intelligence feeds and automated mitigation, increased operational efficiencies, and improved times to detect and respond to attacks due to automated DDoS mitigation.

The number for the replay is (800) 839-3516 for U.S./Canada callers and (402) 220-7238 for international callers.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information:

To supplement the financial measures presented in NETSCOUT's press release in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), NETSCOUT also reports the following non-GAAP measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share (diluted) and non-GAAP earnings before interest and other expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) from operations. Non-GAAP gross profit removes expenses related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets, share based compensation, and acquisition-related depreciation. Non-GAAP income from operations includes the aforementioned adjustments and also removes business development and integration expense, compensation for post-combination services, legal expenses related to a civil judgment, restructuring charges, and transitional service agreement expenses. Non-GAAP net income includes the foregoing adjustments related to non-GAAP income from operations, net of related income tax effects. Non-GAAP EBITDA from operations includes the aforementioned items related to non-GAAP income from operations and also removes non-acquisition related depreciation expense. 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 included in the attached tables within this press release.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with GAAP, should not be considered an alternative for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP (revenue, gross profit, operating margin, net income, and diluted net income per share), and may have limitations because they do not reflect all NETSCOUT’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should only be used to evaluate NETSCOUT’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of non-GAAP information is not meant to be considered superior to, in isolation from, or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. NETSCOUT believes these non-GAAP financial measures will enhance the reader’s overall understanding of NETSCOUT’s current financial performance and NETSCOUT's prospects for the future by providing a higher degree of transparency for certain financial measures and providing a level of disclosure that helps investors understand how the Company plans and measures its own business. NETSCOUT believes that providing these non-GAAP measures affords investors a view of NETSCOUT’s operating results that may be more easily compared to peer companies and also enables investors to consider NETSCOUT’s operating results on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis during and following the integration period of NETSCOUT’s acquisitions. Presenting the GAAP measures on their own, without the supplemental non-GAAP disclosures, might not be indicative of NETSCOUT’s core operating results. Furthermore, NETSCOUT believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding present and future business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations.

NETSCOUT management regularly uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and to make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors that management uses in planning and forecasting.
