Rapid7 provided guidance for the second quarter and full-year 2024, outlining expectations for revenue, non-GAAP income from operations, net income per share, and free cash flow.
Rapid7's total ARR fell below expectations due to a slower shift of the VM base to Cloud Risk Complete, impacting growth.
Professional services revenue declined by 13% compared to the previous year, signaling potential challenges in that segment.
The company reported a GAAP net income per share of $0.04, which is relatively lower compared to other metrics, potentially affecting investor sentiment.
Insights
The reported 11% increase in annualized recurring revenue (ARR) is a positive indicator of Rapid7's sustained ability to grow its revenue streams, as ARR is a critical metric for the health of a software-as-a-service (SaaS) company like Rapid7. This growth rate, however, sits at a modest level, which might reflect market saturation or increased competition. The 12% year-over-year increase in total revenue aligns with the ARR growth, yet the slight discrepancy suggests an evolving revenue mix. Of particular note is the 13% decline in professional services revenue, which could indicate a strategic shift away from services to focus on scalable product offerings, or it might be a red flag for investors if it suggests decreased demand for consultancy services.
The substantial improvement from a GAAP operating loss in the previous year to a GAAP operating income of $11 million signifies a significant turnaround in operational efficiency. However, the non-GAAP income figures, which exclude one-time expenses and other non-cash charges, provide a clearer picture of the company's profitability, with a substantial margin increase from 6% to 20%. This indicates strong underlying operational performance that savvy investors should view favorably.
Another key highlight is the free cash flow of $28 million, a important metric that shows the company's ability to generate cash after funding operations and capital expenditures. This, coupled with the company's reiteration of a free cash flow outlook of at least $160 million for the full year, presents a picture of a company in a solid financial position with adequate liquidity to fund growth initiatives or return capital to shareholders. Hence, from a financial standpoint, these results appear robust and may be seen as an auspicious sign of the company's fiscal health and strategic direction.
From a market perspective, Rapid7's slower than anticipated shift of its VM base into its integrated risk offering, Cloud Risk Complete, might raise concerns about the company's ability to keep pace with the market's transition to cloud-based risk management solutions. However, their confidence in this integrated offering as a driver for long-term growth could be reassuring. The company's ability to capitalize on the fragmented attack surface with its consolidated threat detection and response solutions may position it favorably against competitors if the market increasingly demands integrated, comprehensive cybersecurity solutions.
The growth discrepancies between North America and the rest of the world (9% vs. 22%, respectively) may suggest that the company is beginning to gain more traction internationally, which could be a promising sign of global market expansion. An investor should view this as a diversification of market risk, with potential for international growth offsetting any potential saturation in the North American market.
With respect to the company's guidance for annualized recurring revenue and other financial metrics for the upcoming quarters, the projected year-over-year growth of 6% to 7% appears conservative, possibly indicating a cautious optimism. The company's forward-looking statements seem to reflect a realistic assessment of its future financial health. This conservative stance may appeal to investors who favor stability and consistent performance over more aggressive growth targets.

BOSTON, May 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rapid7, Inc. (Nasdaq: RPD), a leader in extended risk and threat detection, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2024.
“We continued to see solid traction with our consolidated threat detection and response solutions during the first quarter”, said Corey Thomas, Chairman and CEO of Rapid7. “Total ARR was below expectations, primarily driven by a slower than anticipated shift of our VM base into our integrated risk offering, Cloud Risk Complete. We firmly believe that consolidating cloud security and risk management into an integrated offering will drive stronger growth over the long-term by providing customers the most effective and efficient way to manage risk across a fragmented attack surface.”
“As we navigate this shift, we delivered a strong start to the year on profitability, both for Operating Income and Free Cash Flow. These results reflect our commitment to driving efficient growth, and we reiterate our Free Cash Flow outlook of at least

The guidance provided above is forward-looking in nature. Actual results may differ materially. See the cautionary note regarding “Forward-Looking Statements” below. Guidance for the second quarter and full-year 2024 does not include any potential impact of foreign exchange gains or losses. The guidance provided above is based on a number of assumptions, estimates and expectations as of the date of this press release and, while presented with numerical specificity, this guidance is inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Rapid7's control and are based upon specific assumptions with respect to future business decisions or economic conditions, some of which may change. Rapid7 undertakes no obligation to update guidance after this date.
Non-GAAP guidance excludes estimates for stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of debt issuance costs, and certain other items. Rapid7 has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP guidance measure to the most comparable GAAP measures in the financial statement tables included in this press release. The reconciliation does not reflect any items that are unknown at this time, such as non-ordinary course litigation-related expenses, which we are not able to predict without unreasonable effort due to their inherent uncertainty.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Metrics
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we provide investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures and other metrics, which we believe are helpful to our investors. We use these non-GAAP financial measures and other metrics for financial and operational decision-making purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We also use certain non-GAAP financial measures as performance measures under our executive bonus plan. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures and other metrics provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects and allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.
While our non-GAAP financial measures are an important tool for financial and operational decision-making and for evaluating our own operating results over different periods of time, you should review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We disclose the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. We also disclose non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating margin derived from these financial measures.
We define non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share as the respective GAAP balances excluding the effect of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of debt issuance costs and certain other items such as acquisition-related expenses, restructuring expense and discrete tax items. Non-GAAP net income per basic and diluted share is calculated as non-GAAP net income divided by the weighted average shares used to compute net income per share, with the number of weighted average shares decreased, when applicable, to reflect the anti-dilutive impact of the capped call transactions entered into in connection with our convertible senior notes.
We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in assessing our operating performance due to the following factors:
Stock-based compensation expense. We exclude stock-based compensation expense because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of equity instruments that can impact our non-cash expense. We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation expense allows for more meaningful comparisons between our operating results from period to period.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets. We believe that excluding the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets allows for more meaningful comparisons between operating results from period to period as the intangible assets are valued at the time of acquisition and are amortized over several years after the acquisition.
Amortization of debt issuance costs. The expense for the amortization of debt issuance costs related to our convertible senior notes and revolving credit facility is a non-cash item, and we believe the exclusion of this interest expense provides a more useful comparison of our operational performance in different periods.
Acquisition-related expenses. We exclude acquisition-related expenses as costs that are unrelated to the current operations and are neither comparable to the prior period nor predictive of future results.
Restructuring expense. We exclude non-ordinary course restructuring expenses related to our restructuring plan we announced in August 2023, which was concluded in the three months ended March 31, 2024, because we do not believe these charges are indicative of our core operating performance and we believe the exclusion of the restructuring expenses provides a more useful comparison of our performance in different periods.
Discrete tax items. We exclude certain discrete tax items such as income tax expenses or benefits that are not related to ongoing business operations in the current year and adjustments to uncertain tax position reserves as these charges are not indicative of our ongoing operating results, and they are not considered when we are forecasting our future results.
Anti-dilutive impact of capped call transaction. Our capped calls transactions are intended to offset potential dilution from the conversion features in our convertible senior notes. Although we cannot reflect the anti-dilutive impact of the capped call transactions under GAAP, we do reflect the anti-dilutive impact of the capped call transactions in non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share, when applicable, to provide investors with useful information in evaluating our financial performance on a per share basis.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that we define as net income before (1) interest income, (2) interest expense, (3) other income (expense), net, (4) provision for income taxes, (5) depreciation expense, (6) amortization of intangible assets, (7) stock-based compensation expense, (8) acquisition-related expenses and (9) restructuring expense. We believe that the use of adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods.
Free Cash Flow. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that we define as cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and capitalization of internal-use software costs. We consider free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after necessary capital expenditures.
Our non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and exclude expenses that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. Further, stock-based compensation expense has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of the compensation provided to our employees.
Other Metrics
Annualized Recurring Revenue (“ARR”). ARR is defined as the annual value of all recurring revenue related contracts in place at the end of the period. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue as ARR is an operating metric and is not intended to be combined with or replace these items. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue and can be impacted by contract start and end dates and renewal rates, and does not include revenue reported as professional services revenue in our consolidated statement of operations.
Number of Customers. We define a customer as any entity that has an active Rapid7 recurring revenue contract as of the specified measurement date, excluding InsightOps and Logentries only customers with a contract value less than
ARR per Customer. We define ARR per customer as ARR divided by the number of customers at the end of the period.
