Insights

Financial Analyst

Tenable's reported revenue increase of 14% year-over-year indicates a solid growth trajectory, which is a figure notably higher than the average for the cybersecurity industry. The focus here for investors should be the company's ability to sustain this growth while also expanding profit margins. The reported GAAP operating margin of (4%) shows that they are still operating at a loss, which is not uncommon for growth-oriented tech companies. However, the Non-GAAP operating margin of 17% is an encouraging indicator of operational efficiency when adjusted for certain accounting items.

The unlevered free cash flow increase to $54.7 million is a strong signal of the company's cash-generating ability, which is critical for future investments and indicates a healthy financial position. The repurchase of 0.5 million shares could be seen as a signal of confidence from the management in the company's valuation.

Looking at the forward guidance, the expected revenue range for Q2 suggests a slight growth, keeping in line with the current trajectory. However, investors should note that the calculated current billings growth rate is slightly lower than revenue growth, which might indicate a deceleration in new business.

Market Research Analyst

The launch of Tenable One for OT/IoT Security positions the company to capitalize on the rapidly growing IoT security market. As interconnected devices proliferate, the demand for holistic platforms like Tenable One is expected to increase, potentially providing a new revenue stream and diversifying the company's product portfolio.

The Moody's and S&P credit rating upgrades are external validations of Tenable's financial health and could lead to reduced borrowing costs and a more favorable perception among institutional investors. It's also important to recognize that maintaining the lead in device vulnerability management market share for the fifth consecutive year by IDC is a testament to the company's strong market position, which is a key factor for long-term investor confidence.

Cybersecurity Industry Analyst

The expanded AI capabilities within Tenable One underline an industry-wide trend of incorporating advanced technologies to enhance cybersecurity products. The use of generative AI to assist in identifying attack paths and mitigation guidance could improve product efficacy and customer satisfaction, potentially leading to increased market share and customer retention rates.

However, the decrease in net new six-figure customers indicates a potential challenge in customer acquisition or expansion at higher contract values. It's a point of concern that investors should monitor, as it may impact long-term growth prospects if the trend continues.

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of assumptions and risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond our control that could affect our financial results. These risks and uncertainties are detailed in the sections titled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as well as other filings that we make from time to time with the SEC, which are available on the SEC's website at sec.gov. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance the overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by management for financial and operational decision-making. We include these non-GAAP financial measures to present our financial performance using a management view and because we believe that these measures provide an additional comparison of our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

Calculated Current Billings: We define calculated current billings, a non-GAAP financial measure, as total revenue recognized in a period plus the change in current deferred revenue in the corresponding period. We believe that calculated current billings is a key metric to measure our periodic performance. Given that most of our customers pay in advance (including multi-year contracts), but we generally recognize the related revenue ratably over time, we use calculated current billings to measure and monitor our ability to provide our business with the working capital generated by upfront payments from our customers. We believe that calculated current billings, which excludes deferred revenue for periods beyond twelve months in a customer’s contractual term, more closely correlates with annual contract value and that the variability in total billings, depending on the timing of large multi-year contracts and the preference for annual billing versus multi-year upfront billing, may distort growth in one period over another.

Free Cash Flow and Unlevered Free Cash Flow: We define free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs. We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available (if any), after purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs, for investment in our business and to make acquisitions. We believe that free cash flow is useful as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash. We define unlevered free cash flow as free cash flow plus cash paid for interest and other financing costs. We believe unlevered free cash flow is useful as a liquidity measure as it measures the cash that is available to invest in our business and meet our current debt obligations and future financing needs. However, given our debt obligations, non-cancelable commitments and other contractual obligations, unlevered free cash flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenses.

Non-GAAP Income from Operations and Non-GAAP Operating Margin: We define these non-GAAP financial measures as their respective GAAP measures, excluding the effect of stock-based compensation, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring expenses, costs related to the intra-entity asset transfers resulting from the internal restructuring of legal entities, and amortization of acquired intangible assets. Acquisition-related expenses include transaction and integration expenses, as well as costs related to the intercompany transfer of acquired intellectual property. Restructuring expenses include non-ordinary course severance, employee related benefits, and other charges. We believe that the exclusion of these expenses provides for a useful comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies, which commonly exclude restructuring expenses.

Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share: We define non-GAAP net income as GAAP net loss, excluding the effect of stock-based compensation, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring expenses and amortization of acquired intangible assets, including the applicable tax impacts. In addition, we exclude the tax impact and related costs of intra-entity asset transfers resulting from the internal restructuring of legal entities as well as deferred income tax benefits recognized in connection with acquisitions. We use non-GAAP net income to calculate non-GAAP earnings per share.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin: We define non-GAAP gross profit as GAAP gross profit, excluding the effect of stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets. Non-GAAP gross margin is defined as non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenue.

Non-GAAP Sales and Marketing Expense, Non-GAAP Research and Development Expense and Non-GAAP General and Administrative Expense: We define these non-GAAP measures as their respective GAAP measures, excluding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related expenses and costs related to intra-entity asset transfers resulting from the internal restructuring of legal entities.
