Insights

An examination of Nutanix's Q2 FY2024 financial results reveals several key indicators of the company's health and trajectory. The reported 26% year-over-year (YoY) growth in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) is a critical metric, as it suggests a solidifying revenue base, which is particularly important for a company operating with a subscription-based model. This growth rate is indicative of strong customer retention and potentially successful upselling strategies.

Furthermore, the transition to a subscription-based model typically results in a smoother, more predictable revenue stream, which can be more appealing to investors. The reported 16% increase in revenue and the achievement of GAAP operating profitability also signal improved operational efficiency and cost management. This is underscored by the reduction in GAAP operating expenses and the significant improvement in GAAP operating margin by 18.2 percentage points.

However, the slight decrease in average contract duration could suggest a strategic shift towards shorter-term contracts or could be a reflection of market trends where customers are seeking more flexibility. This shift could have implications for future cash flows and revenue recognition, requiring ongoing analysis.

From a market perspective, Nutanix's performance in the hybrid multicloud computing sector is noteworthy. The sector is experiencing rapid growth due to the increasing adoption of cloud technologies and the shift towards digital transformation accelerated by the pandemic. The reported strong free cash flow generation of $162.6 million, an increase of $99.6 million YoY, indicates that Nutanix is effectively capitalizing on this trend and managing its cash flow efficiently.

Competitive positioning is also an essential factor to consider. Nutanix's emphasis on being a strategic partner for hybrid multicloud operations positions the company favorably against competitors as businesses increasingly opt for hybrid cloud solutions to balance flexibility, cost and performance.

Looking ahead, the provided outlook for Q3 FY2024 and the full fiscal year suggests confidence in continued growth, though the projected non-GAAP operating margins indicate a potential tightening of operating efficiency. Monitoring peer performance and market demand will be crucial to contextualize Nutanix's future performance within the industry.

Examining the macroeconomic implications of Nutanix's financial results, the strong performance in a stable yet uncertain macro environment may reflect broader economic resilience in the tech sector. The company's ability to generate a robust free cash flow and a significant YoY increase in ARR during such times could be indicative of underlying economic trends, such as sustained enterprise investment in IT infrastructure despite broader economic headwinds.

The reported figures also suggest that Nutanix may be experiencing economies of scale, as evidenced by improved gross margins and operating leverage. This improved profitability could be a result of increased market penetration and cost optimization strategies. However, it is important to consider that macroeconomic shifts, such as changes in interest rates or corporate spending due to economic downturns, could affect future performance.

Additionally, the transition to a subscription model aligns with broader economic shifts towards service-based economies. This model's focus on long-term customer relationships and recurring revenue streams is becoming increasingly prevalent in the tech industry and is often seen as a stabilizing factor in uncertain economic times.

Footnotes

1Annual Contract Value, or ACV, is defined as the total annualized value of a contract, excluding amounts related to professional services and hardware. The total annualized value for a contract is calculated by dividing the total value of the contract by the number of years in the term of such contract, using, where applicable, an assumed term of five years for contracts that do not have a specified term. ACV Billings, for any given period, is defined as the sum of the ACV for all contracts billed during the given period.

2Annual Recurring Revenue, or ARR, for any given period, is defined as the sum of ACV for all non life-of-device contracts in effect as of the end of a specific period. For the purposes of this calculation, we assume that the contract term begins on the date a contract is booked, unless the terms of such contract prevent us from fulfilling our obligations until a later period, and irrespective of the periods in which we would recognize revenue for such contract.

3Average Contract Duration represents the dollar-weighted term, calculated on a billings basis, across all subscription and life-of-device contracts, using an assumed term of five years for life-of-device licenses, executed in the period.

4Revenue was negatively impacted by a year-over-year decline in the average contract duration, including as a result of Nutanix’s transition to a subscription-based business model.

5Weighted average share count used in computing diluted non-GAAP net income per share.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Performance Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release includes the following non-GAAP financial and other key performance measures: non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, free cash flow, Annual Contract Value Billings (or ACV Billings), Annual Recurring Revenue (or ARR), and Average Contract Duration. In computing non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude certain items such as stock-based compensation and the related income tax impact, costs associated with our acquisitions (such as amortization of acquired intangible assets, income tax-related impact, and other acquisition-related costs), costs related to the impairment and early exit of operating lease-related assets, restructuring charges, litigation settlement accruals and legal fees related to certain litigation matters, the amortization of the debt discount and issuance costs, interest expense related to convertible senior notes, gains on divestitures, and other non-recurring transactions and the related tax impact. Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, and non-GAAP operating margin are financial measures which we believe provide useful information to investors because they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses and expenditures such as stock-based compensation expense that may not be indicative of our ongoing core business operating results. Free cash flow is a performance measure that we believe provides useful information to our management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after necessary capital expenditures, and we define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. ACV Billings is a performance measure that we believe provides useful information to our management and investors as it allows us to better track the topline growth of our business during our transition to a subscription-based business model because it takes into account variability in term lengths. ARR is a performance measure that we believe provides useful information to our management and investors as it allows us to better track the topline growth of our subscription business because it takes into account variability in term lengths. We use these non-GAAP financial and key performance measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. However, these non-GAAP financial and key performance measures have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, and free cash flow are not substitutes for gross margin, operating expenses, operating income (loss), operating margin, or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, respectively. There is no GAAP measure that is comparable to ACV Billings, ARR, or Average Contract Duration, so we have not reconciled the ACV Billings, ARR, or Average Contract Duration data included in this press release to any GAAP measure. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures as tools for comparison. We urge you to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included below in the tables captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Profit Measures” and “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities to Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow,” and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. This press release also includes the following forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures as part of our third quarter fiscal 2024 outlook and/or our fiscal 2024 outlook: non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, and free cash flow. We are unable to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts, as we are currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact the GAAP financial measures for these periods but would not impact the non-GAAP financial measures.

Subscription revenue — Subscription revenue includes any performance obligation which has a defined term, and is generated from the sales of software entitlement and support subscriptions, subscription software licenses and cloud-based Software as a Service, or SaaS offerings.

  • Ratable — We recognize revenue from software entitlement and support subscriptions and SaaS offerings ratably over the contractual service period, the substantial majority of which relate to software entitlement and support subscriptions.
  • Upfront — Revenue from our subscription software licenses is generally recognized upfront upon transfer of control to the customer, which happens when we make the software available to the customer.

Professional services revenue — We also sell professional services with our products. We recognize revenue related to professional services as they are performed.

Other non-subscription product revenue — Other non-subscription product revenue includes $10.9 million and $18.7 million of non-portable software revenue for the three and six months ended January 31, 2023, respectively, $7.0 million and $15.2 million of non-portable software revenue for the three and six months ended January 31, 2024, respectively, $1.2 million and $1.8 million of hardware revenue for the three and six months ended January 31, 2023, respectively, and $1.2 million and $1.8 million of hardware revenue for the three and six months ended January 31, 2024, respectively.

  • Non-portable software revenue — Non-portable software revenue includes sales of our enterprise cloud platform when delivered on a configured-to-order appliance by us or one of our OEM partners. The software licenses associated with these sales are typically non-portable and can be used over the life of the appliance on which the software is delivered. Revenue from our non-portable software products is generally recognized upon transfer of control to the customer.
  • Hardware revenue — In transactions where the hardware appliance is purchased directly from Nutanix, we consider ourselves to be the principal in the transaction and we record revenue and costs of goods sold on a gross basis. We consider the amount allocated to hardware revenue to be equivalent to the cost of the hardware procured. Hardware revenue is generally recognized upon transfer of control to the customer.
