Nutanix Reports Selected Preliminary Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Results

Reports 23% YoY ACV Billings Growth and Record Free Cash Flow Margin

Raises Fiscal Year 2023 Revenue and ACV Billings Guidance

Nutanix, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in hybrid multicloud computing, today announced selected preliminary financial results for its second quarter ended January 31, 2023. All financial results for the second quarter ended January 31, 2023, and related comparisons to prior periods included in this release have not been reviewed or audited, are based on the Company's estimates, and were prepared prior to the completion of the Company's financial statement close process.

“We delivered a solid second quarter financial performance against an uncertain macro backdrop, underpinned by the strength of our subscription-based business model,” said Rajiv Ramaswami, President and CEO of Nutanix. “The value proposition of our platform is resonating with customers as they look to tightly manage their IT and cloud costs while modernizing their data centers and adopting hybrid multicloud operating models.”

“Our second quarter results demonstrated a good balance of topline performance and profitability with 23% year-over-year ACV billings growth and record free cash flow margin,” said Rukmini Sivaraman, CFO of Nutanix. “We continue to execute on our growing base of subscription renewals and remain focused on sustainable, profitable growth.”

Additionally, Company management discovered that certain evaluation software from one of its third-party providers was instead used for interoperability testing, validation and customer proofs of concept over a multi-year period. The Audit Committee commenced an investigation into this matter, which is still ongoing, with the assistance of outside counsel. The Company does not believe that this will have a significant impact on the fundamentals of its business and overall prospects.

The Company is in the process of assessing the financial reporting impact of this matter and it is likely that additional costs would be incurred to address the additional use of the software. As a result, the Company has not provided financial information regarding expenses in its second quarter fiscal 2023 preliminary results, or in its outlook for the third quarter or full fiscal year 2023.

While the Company is working to complete its review of this matter as soon as possible, it does not expect to be able to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 31, 2023, on time or following the 5-day prescribed extension period allowed under 12b-25.

Definitions and Total Revenue Impact

1Annual Contract Value, or ACV, is defined as the total annualized value of a contract, excluding amounts related to professional services and hardware. The total annualized value for a contract is calculated by dividing the total value of the contract by the number of years in the term of such contract, using, where applicable, an assumed term of five years for contracts that do not have a specified term. ACV Billings, for any given period, is defined as the sum of the ACV for all contracts billed during the given period.

2Annual Recurring Revenue, or ARR, for any given period, is defined as the sum of ACV for all non life-of-device contracts in effect as of the end of a specific period. For the purposes of this calculation, we assume that the contract term begins on the date a contract is booked, unless the terms of such contract prevent us from fulfilling our obligations until a later period, and irrespective of the periods in which we would recognize revenue for such contract.

3Average Contract Term represents the dollar-weighted term, calculated on a billings basis, across all subscription and life-of-device contracts, using an assumed term of five years for life-of-device licenses, executed in the period.

4Revenue was negatively impacted by a year-over-year decline in the average contract term associated with Nutanix’s ongoing transition to a subscription-based business model.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Performance Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release includes the following non-GAAP financial and other key performance measures: free cash flow, Annual Contract Value Billings (or ACV Billings), Annual Recurring Revenue (or ARR), and Average Contract Term. 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 provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. ACV Billings is a performance measure that we believe provides useful information to our management and investors as it allows us to better track the topline growth of our business during our transition to a subscription-based business model because it takes into account variability in term lengths. ARR is a performance measure that we believe provides useful information to our management and investors as it allows us to better track the topline growth of our subscription business because it takes into account variability in term lengths. 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. Free cash flow is not a substitute for net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. There is no GAAP measure that is comparable to ACV Billings, ARR, or Average Contract Term, so we have not reconciled the ACV Billings, ARR, or Average Contract Term data included in this press release to any GAAP measure. 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 free cash flow and net cash provided by operating activities included below in the table captioned “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.
