CAMPBELL, Calif., Jan. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Barracuda Networks, Inc. (NYSE: CUDA), a leading provider of cloud-connected security and storage solutions, today announced results for its third quarter of fiscal 2016, which ended November 30, 2015.

Total revenue increased 14% to $80.1 million, up from $70.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Appliance revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 grew to $21.7 million, up from $20.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, and recurring subscription revenue grew to $58.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, up from $49.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, representing 73% of total revenue. For the third quarter of fiscal 2016, gross billings were $89.0 million, compared with $91.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015.

GAAP net loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was $1.6 million, or $0.03 per share, based on a basic share count of 53.3 million. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was $4.0 million, or $0.07 per share, based on a diluted share count of 54.3 million. Non-GAAP net income excludes $8.5 million of income tax benefits, $7.7 million in stock-based compensation expense, $4.7 million in acquisition and other non-recurring charges, $1.3 million in amortization of intangibles and $0.3 million in other expense. The reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information is contained in the tables below.

"We delivered third quarter revenue and earnings consistent with our guidance; however, billings came in below our expectations," said BJ Jenkins, President and CEO. "While we see various dynamics impacting billings in each of our markets, the shift from traditional and solely on-premises IT solution deployments to hybrid, public cloud and managed service solutions is accelerating faster than we expected and is becoming pervasive across more of our markets."

Jenkins continued, "We have seen encouraging early results and believe we have a leadership and differentiated position in cloud security deployments in the product categories where we invested, such as our next generation firewall and web application firewall products, and have introduced a number of virtual appliances and subscription-only solutions with cloud delivered and pay-as-you-go deployment options. We are adjusting and accelerating our investments in our cloud-based solutions in order to focus more of our resources on products areas that we believe will provide stronger long-term growth."

"Non-GAAP operating income for the quarter increased by 24% year-over-year to $5.7 million while our deferred revenue ended the quarter at $391.7 million," said David Faugno, CFO. "Additionally, we successfully launched a $50 million stock repurchase program and repurchased approximately 430,000 shares in the open market in the third quarter."

Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risk factors, including, but not limited to: fluctuations in demand for the company's products and services; a highly competitive business environment for network security and storage solutions; the company's effectiveness in controlling expenses; the effects of significant developments in IT infrastructure deployments, particularly cloud computing; the impact of foreign currency fluctuations; the possibility that the company might experience delays in the development of new technology and products; risks related to pending or future acquisitions; customer response to its new technology and products; risks related to pending or future litigation and regulatory matters; and a dependency on third parties for certain components of the company's products.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Barracuda provides all financial information required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we are also providing with this press release non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating income, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow. In preparing our non-GAAP information, we have excluded certain amounts as set forth in the attached financial tables and footnotes. We believe that excluding these items provides both management and investors with additional insight into our current operations and the trends affecting the company. In particular, management finds it useful to exclude these items in order to more readily correlate the company's operating activities with the company's ability to generate cash from operations. Accordingly, management uses these non-GAAP measures, along with the comparable GAAP information, in evaluating our historical performance and in planning our future business activities. Please note that our non-GAAP measures may be different than those used by other companies. The additional non-GAAP financial information we present should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for, our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. We have provided a non-GAAP reconciliation of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the periods presented in this release, which exclude certain amounts as set forth in the attached financial tables and footnotes for these periods. These measures should only be used to evaluate the company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures for comparable financial information and understanding of the company's ongoing performance as a business. Barracuda uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures to evaluate and manage its operations.

    (1)              Amortization of Intangible Assets. We
                     provide non-GAAP information which
                     excludes expenses for the amortization
                     of intangible assets, as well as certain
                     losses from disposal of such assets,
                     that primarily relate to purchased
                     intangible assets associated with our
                     acquisitions. We believe that
                     eliminating this expense from our non-
                     GAAP measures is useful to investors,
                     because the amortization of intangible
                     assets can be inconsistent in amount and
                     frequency and is significantly impacted
                     by the timing and magnitude of our
                     acquisition transactions, which also
                     vary in frequency from period to period.
                     Accordingly, we analyze the performance
                     of our operations in each period without
                     regard to such expenses.
                    -----------------------------------------


    (2)              Depreciation Expense. We provide non-
                     GAAP information which excludes
                     depreciation expense related to the
                     amortization of property and equipment,
                     as well as certain losses from disposal
                     of such assets. We believe that
                     eliminating this expense from our non-
                     GAAP measures is useful to investors,
                     because the acquisition of property and
                     equipment, and the corresponding
                     depreciation expense, can be
                     inconsistent in amount and can vary from
                     period to period.
                    ----------------------------------------


    (3)              Stock-Based Compensation Expense. We
                     provide non-GAAP information which
                     excludes expenses for stock-based
                     compensation. We believe the exclusion
                     of this item allows for financial
                     results that are more indicative of our
                     continuing operations. We believe that
                     the exclusion of stock-based
                     compensation expense provides for a
                     better comparison of our operating
                     results to prior periods and to our peer
                     companies as the calculations of stock-
                     based compensation vary from period to
                     period and company to company due to
                     different valuation methodologies,
                     subjective assumptions and the variety
                     of award types.
                    -----------------------------------------


    (4)              Acquisition and Other Non-Recurring
                     Charges. We exclude certain expense
                     items resulting from acquisitions and
                     other non-recurring charges, which we
                     do not expect to recur in our continuing
                     operating results. We believe that
                     adjusting for these charges allows us to
                     better compare results from period to
                     period in order to assess the ongoing
                     operating results of our business. The
                     charges include: (i) costs and
                     settlements associated with an internal
                     investigation of export control
                     compliance, (ii) costs associated with
                     an intellectual property settlement and
                     (iii) legal, valuation consulting and
                     other expenses incurred in connection
                     with acquisitions, the fair value
                     remeasurements of contingent
                     considerations, the payments made under
                     the terms of certain acquisition
                     agreements and other non-recurring
                     expenses.
                    -----------------------------------------


    (5)              Income Tax Effect of Non-GAAP
                     Exclusions. We believe providing
                     financial information with and without
                     the income tax effect of excluding items
                     related to our non-GAAP financial
                     measures provide our management and
                     users of the financial statements with
                     better clarity regarding the ongoing
                     performance and future liquidity of our
                     business. Excluded items include, but
                     are not limited to: (i) amortization
                     expense of intangible assets, (ii)
                     stock-based compensation expense, (iii)
                     acquisition and other non-recurring
                     charges, and (iv) quarterly changes to
                     the valuation allowance previously
                     established.
                    -----------------------------------------


    (6)              Other Expense Adjustments. We provide
                     non-GAAP information that excludes the
                     effect of certain other income and
                     losses. These adjustments most
                     significantly consist of foreign
                     currency remeasurement gains and losses.
                     For all non-functional currency account
                     balances, the remeasurement of such
                     balances to the functional currency will
                     result in either a foreign exchange gain
                     or a loss which is recorded in other
                     expense, net. We believe that
                     eliminating these items from our non-
                     GAAP measures is useful to investors,
                     because foreign currency remeasurement
                     adjustments can be inconsistent in
                     amount and can vary from period to
                     period.
                    -----------------------------------------


    (7)              Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share. We
                     provide non-GAAP diluted earnings per
                     share. The non-GAAP diluted earnings per
                     share amount is calculated based on our
                     non-GAAP net income divided by the
                     weighted-average diluted shares
                     outstanding for the period.

    (1)              Adjusted EBITDA. We define adjusted
                     EBITDA as net income (loss) plus
                     increases in deferred revenue and
                     increases in the associated deferred
                     costs, plus non-cash and non-
                     operating charges which include: (i)
                     other expense, net, (ii) benefit from
                     income taxes, (iii) acquisition and
                     other non-recurring charges, (iv)
                     stock-based compensation expense, (v)
                     amortization of intangible assets,
                     including certain losses on disposal
                     of intangible assets, and (vi)
                     depreciation expense, including
                     certain losses on disposal of fixed
                     assets. The deferred revenue balances
                     for the periods presented exclude any
                     remaining acquisition date deferred
                     revenue amounts assumed in connection
                     with our acquisition of C2C Systems
                     Limited, which closed in the second
                     quarter of fiscal 2015. We believe
                     adjusted EBITDA provides an indication
                     of profitability from our operations,
                     and provides a consistent measure of
                     our performance from period to period.

    (1)              Acquisition and Other Non-
                     Recurring Charges. We exclude
                     the cash flow impact resulting
                     from acquisitions and other
                     non-recurring charges, which
                     we do not expect to recur in
                     our continuing operating
                     results. We believe that
                     adjusting for these cash
                     outflows allows us to better
                     compare results from period to
                     period in order to assess the
                     ongoing operating results of
                     our business. The cash flows
                     include: (i) payments
                     associated with an internal
                     investigation of export control
                     compliance and (ii) payments
                     related to legal, valuation
                     consulting and other expenses
                     incurred in connection with
                     acquisitions, as well as the
                     payments under the terms of
                     certain acquisition agreements
                     and other non-recurring
                     expenses.
                    --------------------------------


    (2)              Adjusted Free Cash Flow. We
                     define adjusted free cash flow
                     as cash flows from operating
                     activities less the purchases
                     of property and equipment plus
                     the cash flow effect of
                     acquisition and other non-
                     recurring charges. We believe
                     that adjusting free cash flow
                     to exclude these charges allows
                     us to better compare results
                     from period to period in order
                     to assess the ongoing free cash
                     flow of our business. We
                     believe adjusted free cash flow
                     is an important liquidity
                     measure that reflects the cash
                     generated by the business after
                     the purchase of property and
                     equipment that can then be used
                     for, among other things,
                     strategic acquisitions,
                     investments in the business and
                     funding ongoing operations.

    (1)              Gross Billings. We define gross
                     billings as total revenue plus
                     the change in deferred revenue
                     and other adjustments, which
                     primarily consist of returns
                     and reserves with respect to
                     the 30-day right of return we
                     provide to customers, as well
                     as rebates for certain channel
                     partner activities. The
                     deferred revenue balances for
                     the periods presented exclude
                     any remaining acquisition date
                     deferred revenue amounts
                     assumed in connection with our
                     acquisition of C2C Systems
                     Limited, which closed in the
                     second quarter of fiscal 2015.
                     We believe that gross billings
                     provide insight into the sales
                     of our solutions and
                     performance of our business.
                     -------------------------------


    (2)              In order to determine how our
                     business performed exclusive of
                     the effect of foreign currency
                     fluctuations, we compare the
                     percentage change in our gross
                     billings from one period to
                     another using a constant
                     currency. To present this gross
                     billings information, the
                     current and comparative prior
                     period results for entities
                     that operate in other than U.S.
                     dollars are converted into U.S.
                     dollars at constant exchange
                     rates. For example, the rates
                     in effect at November 30, 2014,
                     which was the last day of our
                     prior fiscal year's comparable
                     quarter, were used to convert
                     current and comparable prior
                     period gross billings rather
                     than the actual exchange rates
                     in effect during the respective
                     period.
