Insights

Secureworks' Q2 FY2025 results paint a mixed picture. The company's focus on its Taegis platform is showing progress, with $71.2 million in revenue, up 7% year-over-year. However, total revenue decreased to $82.2 million from $93.0 million last year due to the wind-down of legacy services.

The bright spot is Taegis' gross margin expansion, reaching 71.8% GAAP and 74.3% non-GAAP. This improvement, driven by AI and automation, suggests increasing efficiency. The company's shift to positive adjusted EBITDA of $1.0 million is encouraging, though still minimal.

While Secureworks narrowed its GAAP net loss, the non-GAAP net loss of $0.4 million indicates the company is still struggling to achieve consistent profitability. The updated guidance for FY2025, projecting non-GAAP net income of $3M to $8M, suggests management expects this trend to improve.

Secureworks' introduction of Taegis IDR and ManagedXDR Plus demonstrates a strategic focus on AI-driven solutions and premium services. These offerings address critical market needs in identity threat detection and regulatory compliance, potentially strengthening Secureworks' competitive position.

The expansion of the Global MSSP Partner Program with Coretelligent is a positive move, as it could broaden Secureworks' market reach. However, the modest 7% year-over-year growth in Taegis revenue suggests that market adoption may be slower than ideal for a cutting-edge cybersecurity platform.

Industry recognitions, such as the Golden Bridge Award for AI in Cybersecurity Innovation, validate Secureworks' technological capabilities. Yet, the company must translate these accolades into accelerated revenue growth and market share gains to truly capitalize on its innovations in the competitive cybersecurity landscape.

Operating Metrics

We believe that annual recurring revenue (ARR) is a key operating metric that is useful to measure our business because it is driven by our ability to acquire new subscriptions and expand relationships with existing customers. The Company defines ARR as the value of its subscription contracts as of a particular date. Because the Company uses recurring revenue as a leading indicator of future annual revenue, it includes operational backlog. Operational backlog is defined as the recurring revenue associated with pending contracts, which are contracts that have been sold but for which the service period has not yet commenced.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to determining results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release presents information about our non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP Taegis Subscription Solutions gross profit, non-GAAP Managed Security Services gross profit, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss),  non-GAAP net income (loss) before income taxes, non-GAAP income tax expense (benefit), non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share before income taxes, non-GAAP net earnings (loss) per share, non-GAAP Taegis Subscription Solutions gross margin, non-GAAP Managed Security Services gross margin, weighted-average shares used in computing non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share, diluted, and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures provided as a supplement to the results provided in accordance with GAAP.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance by enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future outlook, while allowing for increased transparency with respect to important metrics used by management for financial and operational decision-making. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to each of their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, while not relying on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company's business.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables accompanying this press release for each of the fiscal periods presented. As presented in the "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" table below, each of the non-GAAP financial measures excludes one or more of the following items:

"Amortization of Intangible Assets" consists of amortization associated with software development costs capitalized and acquired customer relationships and technology. In connection with the acquisition of Dell by Dell Technologies in fiscal 2014 and our acquisition of Delve Laboratories Inc. in fiscal 2021, our tangible and intangible assets and liabilities associated with customer relationships and technology were accounted for and recognized at fair value on the related transaction date.

"Stock-based Compensation Expense" means non-cash, stock-based compensation expense related to the Company's equity plan. We exclude such expenses when assessing the effectiveness of our operating performance since stock-based compensation does not necessarily correlate with the underlying operating performance of the business.

"Reorganization and Other Related Charges" means expenses associated with the Company's plan to align its investments more closely with its strategic priorities, as described in further detail in the Company's Form 10-K for fiscal year ended February 2, 2024 as well as in other filings made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
