QUALYS ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2014 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue Growth of 23% Year-Over-Year

GAAP EPS of $0.05, Non-GAAP EPS of $0.11

Full-Year 2014 Guidance Raised for Revenues, GAAP EPS, Non-GAAP EPS

REDWOOD CITY, CA – August 4, 2014 – Qualys, Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS), a pioneer and leading provider of cloud security and compliance solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014. For the quarter, the Company reported revenues of $32.3 million, GAAP net income of $1.7 million, non-GAAP net income of $4.2 million, adjusted EBITDA of $7.2 million, GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.05, and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.11.

Philippe Courtot, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Qualys, said, “Our second quarter 2014 results represent the strongest quarterly performance Qualys has ever delivered, driven by high demand for our cloud security and compliance solutions which resulted in record revenue growth and profit. We particularly benefited from increased upsell opportunities from our existing customers as they looked either to expand their vulnerability management scope or to acquire new services to address their global security needs in an effort to prevent increasingly sophisticated and complex cyber-attacks from compromising their critical assets. We continue to accelerate our investments in core technologies and new cloud offerings to help us grow our revenues and increase value to our customers, partners and shareholders. As a result of this continued growth in our business, we are raising our median revenue growth guidance to 22% for 2014 compared to the prior year.”

Our expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks include our ability to continue to develop platform capabilities and solutions; the ability of our platform and solutions to perform as intended; customer acceptance and purchase of our existing solutions and new solutions; our ability to retain existing customers and generate new customers; the market for cloud solutions for IT security and compliance not increasing at the rate we expect; competition from other products and services; and general market, political, economic and business conditions. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are also subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those more fully described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 8, 2014. The forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to Qualys as of the date hereof, and Qualys disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.


Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, Qualys monitors non-GAAP measures of non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA.

Qualys also monitors non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its ongoing operational performance and enhance an overall understanding of its past financial performance. Qualys believes that these non-GAAP metrics help illustrate underlying trends in its business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the income or expenses, as well as the related tax effects, that are excluded in non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income , non-GAAP net income per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA. Furthermore, Qualys uses these measures to establish budgets and operational goals for managing its business and evaluating its performance. Qualys also believes that non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA provide additional tools for investors to use in comparing its recurring core business operating results over multiple periods with other companies in its industry.

The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included with the financial statements contained in this press release. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating its business internally and as such has determined that it is important to provide this information to investors.
