Insights
Analyzing the financial health of WalkMe Ltd., the significant improvement from a free cash flow (FCF) perspective is noteworthy. Transitioning from a cash burn of $53.9M to generating $11.5M in FCF is indicative of effective cost management and operational efficiency. The positive shift from a (22%) to a 4% margin in FCF reflects a robust turnaround strategy, likely involving cost-cutting measures and streamlining of operations. This is further corroborated by the reported Non-GAAP Operating Income of $4.8M or 7%, a stark contrast to the previous year's loss.
The reported Non-GAAP Net Income per share of $0.04, against a loss of ($0.66) the prior year, suggests a successful pivot to profitability. Investors typically value consistent profitability, which can lead to a positive re-rating of the company's stock. However, it is crucial to consider the sustainability of these figures and whether they are a result of one-time gains or ongoing operations.
The company's forward-looking statements project confidence in scaling growth profitably, which could be appealing to growth-oriented investors. Nevertheless, one must be cautious about the achievability of these projections, especially in a dynamic market environment.
From a market perspective, WalkMe's positioning as a leading provider of digital adoption solutions is increasingly relevant in today's technology-driven business landscape. The company's focus on large enterprise companies and the value proposition of accelerating mission-critical workflows could resonate with potential clients facing digital transformation challenges.
The growth in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) and the customer base, especially those with over $1 million in ARR, is indicative of strong product-market fit and customer retention. The increase in ARR from customers with more than 500 employees from 94% to 96% suggests a strategic focus on larger enterprises, which could lead to more stable and predictable revenue streams.
Moreover, being named a leader in the Everest Group Digital Adoption Platform PEAK Matrix® Assessment for the fourth consecutive year enhances the company's credibility and competitive positioning, potentially leading to increased investor confidence and customer acquisition.
Regarding the disclosure of non-GAAP financial measures, it is important for stakeholders to understand the adjustments made and the reasons why these measures may provide useful information about the company's financial performance. While non-GAAP measures can offer a clearer picture of ongoing operational profitability by excluding certain one-time costs, they are not standardized and can vary widely between companies.
Investors should be aware that the inability to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP Operating Income to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure could limit the transparency of the company's financial outlook. This lack of reconciliation is attributed to unpredictable factors such as share-based compensation, which can be substantial in tech companies and impact financial results significantly.
It is also essential to consider the legal and regulatory environment surrounding the use of non-GAAP measures, as regulatory bodies often scrutinize these measures to ensure they are not misleading. WalkMe's compliance with these regulations and clear communication to investors is critical to maintain trust and avoid legal scrutiny.

The section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators” below contains a description of the non-GAAP financial measures and Key Performance Indicators discussed in this press release and reconciliations between historical GAAP and non-GAAP information are contained in the tables below. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP Operating Income (Loss) to Operating Income (Loss), its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort, because items that impact this GAAP financial measure are not within the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. These items may include, but are not limited to, predicting forward-looking share-based compensation. Such information may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on the Company’s future financial results.
Throughout this press release, we provide a number of key performance indicators used by our management and often used by competitors in our industry. These and other key performance indicators are discussed in more detail in the section entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators” in this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators:
In addition to our financial results reported in accordance with GAAP, this press release and the accompanying tables and related presentation materials may contain one or more of the following non-GAAP financial measures: Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Operating Income (Loss), Non-GAAP Operating Margin, Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) attributable to WalkMe Ltd., Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) per share attributable to WalkMe Ltd. and Free Cash Flow, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that these measures provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key measures used by management in its financial and operational decision making. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented 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 and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin. We define Non-GAAP Gross Profit as gross profit excluding share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring expenses and non-recurring legal settlement expenses related to a complex class action lawsuit and related claims which are considered outside of the company's ordinary course of business. We exclude these items because they occur for reasons that may be unrelated to our core operating performance during the period, and because we believe that such items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult. We use Non-GAAP Gross Profit with traditional GAAP measures to evaluate our financial performance. Non-GAAP Gross Margin is calculated as a percentage of revenues.
Non-GAAP Operating Income (Loss) and Non-GAAP Operating Margin. We define Non-GAAP Operating Income (Loss) as net income (loss) from operations excluding share-based compensation, amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets, restructuring expenses and non-recurring legal settlement expenses related to a complex class action lawsuit and related claims which are considered outside of the company's ordinary course of business. We exclude these items because they occur for reasons that may be unrelated to our core operating performance during the period, and because we believe that such items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult. We use Non-GAAP Operating Income (Loss) with traditional GAAP measures to evaluate our financial performance. Non-GAAP Operating Margin is calculated as a percentage of revenues.
Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) attributable to WalkMe Ltd. We define Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) attributable to WalkMe Ltd. as Net Income (Loss) attributable to WalkMe Ltd. excluding share-based compensation, amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets, restructuring expenses, non-recurring legal settlement expenses and adjustment attributable to non-controlling interest. We exclude these items because they occur for reasons that may be unrelated to our core operating performance during the period, and because we believe that such items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult. We use Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) attributable to WalkMe Ltd. with traditional GAAP measures to evaluate our financial performance. Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) per Share attributable to WalkMe Ltd. is calculated based on the periodic weighted average of ordinary shares basic and diluted.
Free Cash Flow. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less cash used for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software development costs. We believe that Free Cash Flow is a useful indicator of liquidity that provides information to management and investors, even if negative, about the amount of cash used in our business. Our Free Cash Flow may vary from period to period and be impacted as we continue to invest for growth in our business.
ARR. We define ARR as the annualized value of customer subscription contracts as of the measurement date, assuming any contract that expires during the next 12 months is renewed on its existing terms (including contracts for which we are negotiating a renewal). Our calculation of ARR is not adjusted for the impact of any known or projected future events (such as customer cancellations, upgrades or downgrades, or price increases or decreases) that may cause any such contract not to be renewed on its existing terms. In addition, the amount of actual revenue that we recognize over any 12-month period is likely to differ from ARR at the beginning of that period, sometimes significantly. This may occur due to new bookings, cancellations, upgrades, downgrades or other changes in pending renewals, as well as the effects of professional services revenue and acquisitions or divestitures. As a result, ARR should be viewed independently of, and not as a substitute for or forecast of, revenue and deferred revenue. Our calculation of ARR may differ from similarly titled metrics presented by other companies.
Enterprise-Wide DAP Customers: We define Enterprise-Wide DAP Customers as those who have purchased enterprise-wide subscriptions or who have department-wide usage of our Digital Adoption Platform across four or more applications. We believe these customers are an indication of the success of our customer acquisition and expansion strategy and demonstrate the strategic demand for our Digital Adoption Platform, the growth of our business, and our potential future business opportunities.
For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the reconciliation tables provided in this press release. The accompanying reconciliation tables have more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.
