AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SailPoint Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SAIL) (“SailPoint,” the “Company” or “we”), the leader in identity security, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

“SailPoint delivered another excellent quarter, highlighted by 46% total ARR growth and 44% subscription revenue growth. The strong performance was driven by our sales execution and demand from global enterprises that recognize the strategic role identity security plays in securing their businesses,” said Mark McClain, SailPoint CEO and Founder.

Financial Highlights for First Quarter 2022:

• ARR: Total ARR at March 31, 2022 was $394.7 million, a 46% increase year-over-year.
• Revenue: Total revenue was $115.4 million, a 27% increase over Q1 2021. Subscription revenue was $85.6 million, a 44% increase over Q1 2021, of which SaaS revenue was $41.1 million, an 88% increase over Q1 2021.
• Operating Income (Loss): Loss from operations was $(30.5) million compared to loss from operations of $(15.6) million in Q1 2021. Non-GAAP loss from operations was $(9.3) million compared to non-GAAP income from operations of $0.7 million in Q1 2021.

The tables included in this press release present a reconciliation of GAAP loss from operations to non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, GAAP net loss to non-GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP to non-GAAP weighted average outstanding shares, each for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures." In addition, see “Operating Metrics” for more information regarding Total ARR.

Transaction with Thoma Bravo

As announced on April 11, 2022, SailPoint has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Thoma Bravo. In light of this transaction, SailPoint will not be hosting an earnings conference call or live webcast to discuss its first quarter 2022 financial results and SailPoint will not be providing guidance for the second quarter or full fiscal year 2022.

Operating Metrics

Total annual recurring revenue (“Total ARR”) represents the annualized value of the active portion of SaaS, term-based license, maintenance and support contracts and other subscription services at the end of the reporting period. We calculate Total ARR by dividing the active contract value by the number of days in the active portion of the overall contract term and then multiplying by 365. See Item 2. "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 5, 2022 (our “First Quarter Quarterly Report”) for more information regarding SailPoint’s utilization of the Total ARR metric.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to SailPoint’s financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), this press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures to clarify and enhance investors’ understanding of SailPoint’s past performance and future prospects. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s operating performance, financial position or cash flow that includes or excludes amounts that are included or excluded from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. SailPoint’s management believes the non-GAAP financial measures described below provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because they facilitate comparisons of SailPoint’s core operating results from period to period. In addition, SailPoint’s management uses non-GAAP income (loss) from operations for budgeting and planning purposes.

Our non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted for the following factors:

Stock-based compensation expense. We exclude stock-based compensation expense because of varying available valuation methodologies, the use of 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 the useful life, which can be several years after the acquisition.

Amortization of debt issuance costs. The expense for the amortization of debt issuance costs, which relate to SailPoint’s credit agreement (which is undrawn) and the convertible senior notes issued in 2019, is a non-cash item, and we believe the exclusion of this component of interest expense provides a more useful comparison of our operational performance from period to period.

Acquisition related costs and impairment of intangible assets. We exclude these expenses because they are unrelated to our current operations and are neither comparable to the prior period nor indicative of future results. See Note 14 “Subsequent Events” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 for information about our pending transaction with Thoma Bravo and recent acquisitions.

SailPoint’s non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry because they may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. In addition, there are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. SailPoint urges you to review the reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business.

Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations. SailPoint believes that the use of non-GAAP income (loss) from operations is helpful to our investors to clarify and enhance their understanding of past performance and future prospects. Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations is calculated as income (loss) from operations on a GAAP basis excluding (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) amortization of acquired intangibles, (iii) acquisition related costs and (iv) impairment of intangible assets.

Non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per basic and diluted share. SailPoint believes that the use of non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per basic and diluted share is helpful to our investors to clarify and enhance their understanding of past performance and future prospects. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is calculated as net income (loss) on a GAAP basis (a) excluding (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) amortization of acquired intangibles, (iii) amortization of debt issuance costs, (iv) acquisition related costs and (v) impairment of intangible assets, and (b) adjusted for the effect of income taxes associated with such non-GAAP adjustments. SailPoint defines non-GAAP net income (loss) per basic and diluted share as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by the non-GAAP basic and diluted weighted average outstanding common shares.

SailPoint’s presentation of non-GAAP net income (loss) includes the effect of income taxes associated with the non-GAAP adjustments, which is calculated using an estimated effective income tax rate that is commensurate with our non-GAAP pre-tax income (loss). The non-GAAP effective income tax rate is adjusted from the GAAP effective income tax rate to reflect the impact of non-GAAP income (loss) adjustments. Due to the adjustments, the non-GAAP estimated income taxes may differ from GAAP estimated income taxes and actual tax liabilities. Estimated income taxes and tax liabilities reflect currently available information, as well as other factors and assumptions, including current operating structure, existing tax positions in various jurisdictions and key tax legislation in jurisdictions where SailPoint currently operates. Non-GAAP estimated income taxes may change for a variety of reasons, including global tax environment, significant changes to geographic earnings mix, acquisitions, or other changes to SailPoint’s strategy or business operations. SailPoint re-evaluates its non-GAAP estimated income taxes at least annually, or more frequently if significant events occur, which may materially impact our non-GAAP income tax calculation.

The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest comparable GAAP measures.

Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. We cannot assure you that the results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
