Alteryx Announces Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results

Alteryx, Inc. (NYSE: AYX), a leading provider of an end-to-end analytics platform for the enterprise, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

“This was another strong quarter for Alteryx, highlighted by 52% year-over-year revenue growth and dollar-based net revenue retention rates that were again above 130% for the fourth consecutive quarter,” said Dean Stoecker, CEO of Alteryx, Inc.

Stoecker continued, “Our third quarter results further demonstrate the power of our end-to-end analytics platform through both the addition of a meaningful number of new customers as well as our strong dollar-based net revenue retention rate. The evolution of our platform, driven by ongoing innovation, the launch of Alteryx Connect, and the announcement of Alteryx Promote, are designed to serve not only the millions of analysts and statisticians around the world, but also the rise of chief data officers and analytic leaders who are driving digital transformation across the enterprise. We believe our opportunity is large and growing, we continue to increase our differentiation, and we are positioned for long term success.”

Third Quarter 2017 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue: Revenue for the third quarter was $34.2 million, an increase of 52% year-over-year.
  • Gross Profit: GAAP gross profit for the third quarter was $28.7 million, or a GAAP gross margin of 84%, an increase compared to GAAP gross profit of $18.4 million, or a GAAP gross margin of 82%, in the third quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP gross profit for the third quarter was $29.3 million, or a non-GAAP gross margin of 86%, an increase compared to non-GAAP gross profit of $18.4 million, or a non-GAAP gross margin of 82%, in the third quarter of 2016.

Non-GAAP income from operations for the third quarter was $0.9 million, an improvement compared to non-GAAP loss from operations of $(2.9) million for the third quarter of 2016.
  • Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders: GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter was $(3.3) million, an improvement compared to a GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(5.9) million for the third quarter of 2016. GAAP net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter was $(0.06), based on 58.9 million weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding, compared to a GAAP net loss per share attributable to common stockholders of $(0.18), based on 32.5 million weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding, for the third quarter of 2016.

    Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter was $1.2 million, an improvement compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $(3.3) million for the third quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the third quarter was $0.02, based on 62.3 million non-GAAP weighted-average diluted shares outstanding, compared to a non-GAAP net loss per share of $(0.07), based on 47.2 million non-GAAP weighted-average diluted shares outstanding, for the third quarter of 2016.

For the first nine months of 2017, cash provided by operating activities was $6.4 million, compared to $(9.1) million used in operating activities for the same period last year.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Third Quarter and Recent Business Highlights

  • Ended the third quarter of 2017 with 3,054 customers, a 49% increase from the third quarter of 2016. Added 231 net new customers in the third quarter of 2017.
  • Achieved a dollar-based net revenue retention rate of 133% for the third quarter of 2017.
  • Announced Alteryx Promote, a component of the Alteryx platform that empowers both data scientists and citizen data scientists to deploy predictive models directly into business systems through an API and then manage model performance over time. Alteryx Promote is the result of the Alteryx’s acquisition of Yhat, an end-to-end data science platform for developing, deploying, and managing real-time decision APIs.
  • Made Alteryx Connect generally available as an add-on to Alteryx Server. Alteryx Connect is a data exploration platform that empowers users to discover and collaborate on data assets, visualizations, reports, and workflows typically siloed across large enterprises.
  • Announced a partnership with Plotly, the preferred data visualization platform for modern data science, to enhance inline “visualytics” within the Alteryx platform. As modern organizations seek to distribute analytics capabilities across a variety of business users, there has been a significant shift towards self-service platforms — and now — for more intuitive visual representations (or inline visualytics) of data as it moves through the analytics pipeline. With this integration, line-of-business analysts can work in a more agile environment that supports sophisticated analytics techniques.
  • Named the Gold winner in the first-ever Gartner Peer Insights Customer Choice Awards for Business Intelligence and Analytics. The Customer Choice Awards are a rating of vendors by verified end-user professionals, taking into account several criteria. Alteryx received Gold Status as many users across a range of industries praised Alteryx as an intuitive end-to-end analytics platform that drives significant time savings and business results, and opens doors for more advanced analytics.

Financial Outlook

As of November 9, 2017, guidance for the fourth quarter 2017 and full year 2017 is as follows:

  • Fourth Quarter 2017 Guidance:
    • Revenue is expected to be in the range of $35.5 million to $36.0 million.
    • Non-GAAP loss from operations is expected to be in the range of $(1.0) million to $(2.0) million.
    • Non-GAAP net loss per share is expected to be in the range of $(0.02) to $(0.03) based on approximately 60.0 million non-GAAP weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding.
  • Full Year 2017 Guidance:
    • Revenue is now expected to be in the range of $128.5 million to $129.0 million.
    • Non-GAAP loss from operations is now expected to be in the range of $(9.2) million to $(10.2) million.
    • Non-GAAP net loss per share is now expected to be in the range of $(0.15) to $(0.17) based on approximately 56.4 million non-GAAP weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding.

The financial outlook above for non-GAAP loss from operations and non-GAAP net loss per share exclude estimates for stock-based compensation expense, acquisition related adjustments, follow-on public offering costs, impairment of long-lived assets, and the accretion of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis primarily as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets. In particular, stock-based compensation expense is impacted by our future hiring and retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of our Class A common stock, all of which is not within our control, is difficult to predict, and is subject to constant change. The actual amount of these expenses during 2017 will have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial guidance measures to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort.

An archived webcast of this conference call will also be available in the “Investors” section of the Company’s website.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, and non-GAAP weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We use non-GAAP measures to internally evaluate and analyze financial results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and enable comparison of our financial results with other public companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures. We exclude the following items from one or more of our non-GAAP financial measures:

Stock-based compensation expense. We exclude stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that excluding this item provides meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance. In particular, companies calculate stock-based compensation expense using a variety of valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions.

Acquisition related adjustments. We exclude amortization of intangible assets, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, and related income tax adjustments, which are non-cash, related to business combinations from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures. We exclude such expenses as they are related to a business combination and have no direct correlation to the operation of our business.

Accretion of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock. We exclude accretion relating to our Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock from non-GAAP net loss per share because this is a non-cash item that will not recur in the periods following our initial public offering.

Follow-on public offering costs. We exclude the costs relating to our follow-on public offering in September 2017 from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures because the costs do not have a direct correlation to the operation of our business.

Impairment of long-lived assets. We exclude the impairment of long-lived assets from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures, because the expenses are non-cash and do not have a direct correlation to the operation of our business.

In addition, we adjust non-GAAP weighted-average diluted shares outstanding to include the conversion of the redeemable convertible preferred stock into shares of common stock as though the conversion had occurred at the beginning of each of the respective periods. In periods of non-GAAP net income, we adjust non-GAAP weighted-average diluted shares outstanding to include the effect of dilutive shares.

Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, we exclude stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets which are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. The non-GAAP measures we use may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures.
