DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ping Identity Holding Corp. (“Ping Identity,” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PING), which delivers intelligent identity solutions for the enterprise, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

“The future of identity has never been more important and more personal. This quarter, the Ping Identity team took meaningful steps towards executing against this future vision as we added several solutions to our portfolio, layered in the acquisition of Singular Key, and introduced PingOne for Government that will be available in 2022 as our FedRAMP authorized offering,” said Andre Durand, Ping Identity's Chief Executive Officer. “We also executed well financially, exceeding our guidance ranges for all key metrics, which gives us confidence and momentum to close out 2021 in a strong position.”

Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter of 2021

ARR: Ending ARR at September 30, 2021 was $289.6 million and represented a 19% increase compared with the same period last year. Ping Identity defines ARR as the annualized value of all subscription contracts as of the end of the period.

Revenue: Total revenue for the third quarter of 2021 was $76.2 million. Subscription revenue was $71.5 million, or 94% of total revenue. SaaS revenue of $15.3 million grew 56% from $9.9 million in the third quarter of 2020. Given the impact that deployment mix and contract duration have on GAAP revenue, management continues to believe that ARR is the key growth metric of a subscription business.

Cash Flow: Net cash provided by operating activities was $38.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared with $20.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Unlevered Free Cash Flow* was $23.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared with $10.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate: Ping Identity’s dollar-based net retention rate on September 30, 2021 was 112%. The Company calculates dollar-based net retention rate as ending ARR for the current reporting period from customers with associated ending ARR for the same period last year, divided by ending ARR for the same period last year.

Recent Business Highlights

  • Acquired Singular Key, a leader in no-code orchestration, to streamline identity workflows and bring additional agility and flexibility to the PingOne Cloud Platform. With its 100+ out-of-the-box third-party integrations, Singular Key simplifies customer deployments and continuously optimizes identity workflows through a single API.
  • Announced the addition of PingOne Fraud (formerly SecuredTouch) and PingOne API Intelligence to the PingOne Cloud Platform to strengthen enterprise cloud security while improving the overall user experience. The Company also introduced PingOne for Government, a FedRAMP authorized offering, that will be available in 2022.
  • Named Jason Kees as Chief Information Security Officer. Kees previously served as an information security executive for Groupon, CBS and Oracle and will spearhead Ping Identity’s security initiatives to support new solutions while ensuring the security, safety and reliability of the Company’s existing IT infrastructure.
  • Ended the third quarter with 288 customers with more than $250,000 in ARR, representing a 14% year-over-year growth rate in that customer cohort.
  • Hosted YOUniverse, Ping Identity’s virtual user conference, to recognize customers’ and partners’ success, present the Company’s solutions roadmap and deliver keynote presentations from professionals across the identity industry.

Commenting on the Company’s financial results, Raj Dani, Ping Identity’s Chief Financial Officer, said, “We delivered another solid quarter, with year-over-year ARR growth of 19% and a sequential uptick from the second quarter of 2021 of our Dollar-Based Net Retention Rate to 112%. Additionally, SaaS revenue grew year-over-year at an impressive 56% in the quarter. We continue to invest strategically in innovations to drive growth, further evidenced by our acquisition of Singular Key in the quarter and the increasing pace of our technology acquisitions over the last 18 months.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to Ping Identity’s results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company believes the following non-GAAP measures presented in this press release and discussed on the related teleconference call are useful in evaluating its operating performance: Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Profit Margin, Non-GAAP Operating Expenses, Non-GAAP Net Income, Non-GAAP Net Income Per Share, Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash Flow. Certain of these non-GAAP measures exclude stock-based compensation, depreciation and/or amortization expense and acquisition-related expenses, as noted in the reconciliation. Ping Identity believes 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 financial 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. A reconciliation is provided herein 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

In addition to historical consolidated financial information, certain statements in this press release and on the related teleconference call may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this press release and on the related teleconference call are forward-looking statements. These statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “can have,” “likely” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. For example, all statements Ping Identity makes relating to its estimated and projected costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results or its plans and objectives for future operations, growth initiatives, or strategies are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that the Company expected.

Given these factors, as well as other variables that may affect Ping Identity’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. The Company 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.
