“Our solid Q1 performance, particularly in the Americas, gives us confidence that we have the right formula for global sales leadership as demonstrated by improved productivity and sales hiring over the last six months,” said Dheeraj Pandey, Chairman, Founder and CEO of Nutanix. “We have also seen momentum in key areas of our business, including the transition to subscription and an improved 28% attach rate of new products onto our core HCI platform.”

“We continued to make progress towards our goal of more than 75% of billings coming from subscription by the end of the fiscal year, further demonstrating that customers want the freedom and flexibility that a subscription software model offers,” said Duston Williams, CFO of Nutanix. “Our last two quarters of solid execution position us well to deliver on our growth plans for fiscal 2020.”

Recent Company Highlights

  • Continued Shift to Subscription Recurring Revenue Model: First quarter fiscal 2020 subscription billings grew 41% year-over-year to $276 million, representing 73% of total billings, and subscription revenue increased 72% year-over-year to $218 million, representing 69% of total revenue.
  • Expanded Customer Base and Closed Record Number of $1M+ Deals: Nutanix ended the first quarter with 14,960 total customers and closed a record high of 66 deals worth more than $1 million. First quarter customer wins included Anheuser-Busch InBev, Akron Children’s Hospital, Banco Patagonia S.A., Huaxia Bank, and The College of Education and Human Ecology at Ohio State University.
  • Grew Adoption of New Products: Nutanix saw continued new product traction with 28%2 of deals including at least one product outside of the company’s core offering.
  • Added Two New Executives in Key Functions: Tarkan Maner joined Nutanix as Chief Commercial Officer and is responsible for Nutanix’s global business development strategy, with a focus on partnerships, alliances, system integrators, and service providers. He will lead critical hybrid cloud-focused product teams including Nutanix Clusters, End-User Computing, Networking and Cloud Services, and Era. In addition, Christian Alvarez joined as the VP of Americas Channel to oversee building and managing the Nutanix Americas Channel team.
  • Hosted Ninth .NEXT User Conference: Nearly 4,500 attendees, including customers, prospects and partners, joined Nutanix in Copenhagen for its ninth .NEXT Conference, where attendees heard about Nutanix’s vision for the hybrid cloud. The venue was also the location for the largest EMEA Partner Xchange to date, with 1,200 Nutanix channel attendees.
  • Announced New IT Automation for Private Clouds: Nutanix and ServiceNow announced integration of Nutanix’s HCI platform and ServiceNow’s IT Operations Management solution to automate critical private cloud workflows. This solution enables IT teams to spend less time servicing incidents and issues and instead focus on offering a public cloud-like experience within the data center, competitive differentiation, and strategic planning in their digital transformation journey.
  • Announced General Availability of HPE GreenLake for Nutanix: The HPE GreenLake solution leverages Nutanix’s Enterprise Cloud OS software, including its built-in AHV hypervisor, to deliver a fully HPE-managed private cloud. It dramatically lowers total cost of ownership and accelerates time to value, allowing customers to pay for the service based on actual consumption.
  • Launched “All Together Now” Campaign to Expand Brand Reach into Market: The company introduced a new global brand campaign that simplifies and amplifies Nutanix’s vision for the hybrid and multi-cloud focusing on the simplicity, choice, and delight Nutanix brings to customers.
  • Released Results of Second Annual Enterprise Cloud Index: Nutanix engaged a third-party research firm to conduct a global survey of 2,650 IT leaders in mid-2019. A substantial majority (85%) of those respondents reaffirmed that hybrid cloud is the ideal IT model to strive for, and the majority have plans to aggressively shift investment to hybrid cloud architectures over the next three to five years. The research also found that the flexibility afforded by hybrid clouds to match and move applications to the right infrastructure in order to optimize cost, performance, security, and other variables as needed was what respondents value most about the hybrid model.
  • Named a Great Company for Millennials in the Bay Area: Nutanix was named one of the 18 great companies for millennials to work for in the San Francisco Bay Area by Comparably, a career data website. The rating was based on what millennials say they find most important in a job, including flexibility, benefits that match their values, social impact, and an opportunity to feel like valued contributors rather than just a number at work.
  • Named to the 50 Companies to Watch in 2020 List: This list of 50 companies worth watching was developed by analysts at Bloomberg Intelligence. When curating the list, they considered revenue growth, margins, market share, debt, and other factors such as economic conditions.

Q2 and Fiscal 2020 Financial Outlook

For the second quarter of fiscal 2020, Nutanix expects:

  • Software and support (TCV) revenue between $1.30 billion and $1.40 billion;

Supplementary materials to this earnings release, including the company’s first quarter fiscal 2020 investor presentation, can be found at https://ir.nutanix.com/company/financial.

All forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures contained in the section titled “Q2 and Fiscal 2020 Financial Outlook” exclude stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets and may also exclude, as applicable, other special items. The company has not reconciled guidance for software and support (TCV) billings, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP net loss per share to their most directly comparable GAAP measures because such items that impact these measures are not within its control and are subject to constant change. While the actual amounts of such items will have a significant impact on the company’s software and support (TCV) billings, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP net loss per share, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort.

1TCV, or Total Contract Value, for any given period is defined as the total software and support revenue or total software and support billings, as applicable, during such period, which excludes revenue and billings associated with pass-through hardware sales during the period.

2Based on a rolling four-quarter average.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Performance Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial and other key performance measures: billings, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, free cash flow, software and support revenue (or TCV revenue), subscription revenue, software and support billings (or TCV billings), subscription billings, and professional services billings. In computing these non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures, we exclude certain items such as stock-based compensation and the related income tax impact, costs associated with our acquisitions (such as amortization of acquired intangible assets, revaluation of contingent consideration, income tax-related impact, and other acquisition-related costs), amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, other non-recurring transactions and the related tax impact, and the revenue and billings associated with pass-through hardware sales. Billings is a performance measure which we believe provides useful information to investors because it represents the amounts under binding purchase orders received by us during a given period that have been billed, and we calculate billings by adding the change in deferred revenue between the start and end of the period to total revenue recognized in the same period. Free cash flow is a performance measure that we believe provides useful information to our management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after necessary capital expenditures, and we define free cash flow as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net loss, and non-GAAP net loss per share are financial measures which we believe provide useful information to investors because they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses and expenditures such as stock-based compensation expense that may not be indicative of our ongoing core business operating results. Software and support revenue (or TCV revenue) and software and support billings (or TCV billings) are performance measures that we believe provide useful information to our management and investors as they allow us to better track the true growth of our software business by excluding the amounts attributable to the pass-through hardware sales that we use to deliver our solutions. Subscription revenue, subscription billings, and professional services billings are performance measures that we believe provide useful information to our management and investors as they allow us to better track the growth of the subscription-based portion of our business, which is a critical part of our business plan. We use these non-GAAP financial and key performance measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. However, these non-GAAP financial and key performance measures have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Billings, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, and free cash flow are not substitutes for total revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, net loss, net loss per share, or net cash (used in) provided by operating activities, respectively; subscription revenue, software and support revenue (or TCV revenue) and software and support billings (or TCV billings) are not substitutes for total revenue; and subscription and professional services billings are not a substitute for subscription and professional services revenue. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures as tools for comparison. We urge you to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included below in the tables captioned “Reconciliation of Revenue to Billings,” “Disaggregation of Revenue and Billings,” “Reconciliation of Subscription and Professional Services Revenue to Subscription and Professional Services Billings,” “Reconciliation of Software and Support Revenue (TCV Revenue) to Software and Support Billings (TCV Billings),” “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Profit Measures,” and “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities to Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow,” and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Subscription — Subscription revenue includes any performance obligation which has a defined term, and is generated from the sales of software entitlement and support subscriptions, subscription software licenses and cloud-based Software as a Service, or SaaS offerings.

  • Ratable We recognize revenue from software entitlement and support subscriptions and SaaS offerings ratably over the contractual service period, the substantial majority of which relate to software entitlement and support subscriptions.
  • Upfront Revenue from our subscription software licenses is generally recognized upfront upon transfer of control to the customer, which happens when we make the software available to the customer.

Non-portable software — Non-portable software revenue includes sales of our enterprise cloud platform when delivered on a configured-to-order appliance by us or one of our OEM partners. The software licenses associated with these sales are typically non-portable and have a term equal to the life of the appliance on which the software is delivered. Revenue from our non-portable software products is generally recognized upon transfer of control to the customer.

Hardware — In transactions where we deliver the hardware appliance, we consider ourselves to be the principal in the transaction and we record revenue and costs of goods sold on a gross basis. We consider the amount allocated to hardware revenue to be equivalent to the cost of the hardware procured. Hardware revenue is generally recognized upon transfer of control to the customer.

Professional services — We also sell professional services with our products. We recognize revenue related to professional services as they are performed.
