TYSONS CORNER, Va - February 25, 2016 - Cvent, Inc. (NYSE: CVT), a leading cloud-based enterprise event management company, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2015.

Reggie Aggarwal, founder and chief executive officer of Cvent, said, “Our fourth quarter financial performance exceeded our expectations for revenue and adjusted EBITDA, capping off a very successful year for the company. Throughout 2015 our strategy to invest in broadening and deepening our software solutions significantly helped us in signing larger new deals and gaining further adoption by existing customers. By developing our vision for both the Event Cloud and Hospitality Cloud, we have been able to expand the size of our addressable market, attract an increasingly diverse array of customers of all sizes and industries, and further solidify our leadership position in the market.”

Aggarwal added, “In 2016 we plan to continue the strategy that helped drive our success in 2015 by investing in technology that will broaden our reach to new customers around the world and expand our relationships with existing customers. We will also look to expand our sales team in 2016, especially in account management, to help us further expand our relationships with enterprise customers. While we have had significant success in growing our leadership position, we believe we still have vast opportunities ahead of us, which our continued investments will enable us to capture. We believe this strategy will produce strong revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA in 2016 and beyond, as we continue to transform the meetings and events industry.”

Business Outlook
Based on information available as of today, Cvent is issuing guidance for the first quarter and full year 2016 as follows.

Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $4.4 million to $4.8 million.
Full Year 2016:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: Non-GAAP cost of revenue expenses, Non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, Non-GAAP research and development expenses, Non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, Non-GAAP operating (loss) income, Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP net (loss) income and Non-GAAP net (loss) income per share.
We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Cvent’s financial condition and results of operations. We use these non-GAAP measures for financial, operational and budgetary decision-making purposes, and to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information regarding past financial performance and future prospects, and permit us to more thoroughly analyze key financial metrics used to make operational decisions. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with other software companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
We do not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which are included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
Cvent excludes one or more of the following items from these non-GAAP financial measures:
Interest income. Cvent excludes this income primarily because it is not considered a part of ongoing operating results.
Other expense. Cvent excludes this expense primarily because it is not considered a part of ongoing operating results.
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes. Cvent excludes this expense (benefit) from certain non-GAAP financial measures primarily because of the volatility in the amount of expense (benefit) that Cvent does not consider a meaningful component of our operating results when assessing the performance of our business. The exclusion of this expense (benefit) facilitates the comparison of our business outlooks for future periods with the results from prior periods.
Excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, Cvent’s non-GAAP financial measures excluded previously recognized excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation from which Cvent could not benefit from. Excluding these non-cash amounts improves the comparability of the performance of the business across periods, and to the results of other companies in our industry, which may have their own unique histories associated with stock-based compensation.
Amortization of intangible assets. In accordance with GAAP, our expenses, including cost of revenue and operating expenses, include amortization of intangible assets such as acquired technology, customer lists and trademarks. Cvent excludes these items from its non-GAAP financial measures because they are expenses that Cvent does not consider part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business, and Cvent believes that doing so facilitates comparisons to its historical operating results and to the results of other companies in our industry, which may have their own unique acquisition histories.

Losses on divested businesses. Cvent’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude losses on divested businesses. Cvent excludes these expenses from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses that are not considered part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business. Excluding these amounts improves comparability of the performance of the business across periods, and to the results of other companies in our industry, which have their own unique histories associated with divested businesses.
Stock-based compensation expense. Cvent’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation, which consists of expenses for stock options and restricted stock units. Cvent excludes these expenses from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses that are not considered part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business. Excluding these amounts improves comparability of the performance of the business across periods, and to the results of other companies in our industry, which have their own unique histories associated with stock-based compensation.
Foreign currency remeasurement and transaction losses (gains). Cvent’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude these losses (gains) primarily because they are non-cash, and are driven primarily by our India operations, which for accounting purposes is not considered a stand-alone entity and are remeasured instead of translated. In accordance with GAAP, the losses (gains) associated with remeasuring our India financial statements, are recognized through our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss instead of through our Consolidated Balance Sheets, where translation losses (gains) from most foreign subsidiaries would be included. Excluding these amounts improves comparability of the performance of the business across periods and to the results of other companies in our industry, which generally recognize similar losses (gains) through their Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Costs related to acquisitions. Cvent’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude contingent payments included in compensation expense which relates to the potential cash payment to certain employees of acquired companies whose right to receive such payment is forfeited if they terminate their employment prior to the required service period. As the contingent payments are subject to continued employment, GAAP requires that these payments be accounted for as compensation expense and such expense is subject to revaluation. Cvent excludes this item from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because it is a component of the contractual deal consideration and it is not considered part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business. Additionally, Cvent’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs related to performing due diligence, drafting and negotiating definitive agreements, valuation, earn-out payments, retention payments and severance or other acquisition-related activities. The exclusion of these expenses facilitates the comparison of post-acquisition operating results to the results of other companies in our industry, which have their own unique acquisition histories.
Office relocation costs. These costs relate to Cvent’s office headquarters move during the third quarter of 2014. Cvent excludes this item from its non-GAAP financial measures primarily because it is not considered part of ongoing operating results when assessing the performance of our business. The exclusion of these expenses facilitates the comparison of operating results to the results of other companies in our industry.
Business Metrics Definitions
Events and Meetings Managed. We define events and meetings managed as the total number of all events and meetings managed through our platform in a given period. This amount includes all events and meetings using the date the event was created as listed in our system to determine which period the event was first actively managed by our platform. This also includes meetings being tracked on our platform by large enterprise clients for budgeting and management purposes, some of which may be historical meetings. We generally do not generate revenue on the basis of a rate per event or meeting. Our pricing model is based on a combination of (i) contracted fees for blocks of registrations with an additional fee being charged for every registration being processed over and above that contracted amount, (ii) annual maintenance fees and (iii) a fee per each additional module sold within our platform. Thus, the total number of events and meetings managed is a leading indicator of our revenue and helps us evaluate the scale being executed through our Event & Conference Management or Strategic Meetings Management solutions.
Event Registrations Processed. We measure event registrations processed as the total number of all attendee registrations executed through our platform in a given period. We believe that the number of event registrations processed and the year-on-year growth rate help us evaluate the scale of events being executed through our software platform. We do not generate revenue on the basis of a fixed percentage per registration. Our pricing model is based on a combination of (i) contracted fees for blocks of registrations with an additional fee being charged for every registration being processed over and above that contracted amount, (ii) annual support fees and (iii) a fee per each additional module sold within our platform, among other considerations. Thus, increases in registrations are a leading indicator of future increases in our revenue.

RFP Dollars Processed. The estimated amount sourced through our Hospitality Cloud is based on the number of participant days and room days requested through our marketplace for the respective year and (i) the average daily hotel room rate and (ii) average daily food and beverage rate where applicable. The average daily hotel room rate and food and beverage rate are adjusted every quarter based on actual price data from all awarded proposals to RFPs for the trailing 12 months. The food and beverage average assumes, for any RFPs with meeting space: (i) a morning break, afternoon break, and lunch, for RFPs through CSN; and (ii) a snack and lunch for any RFPs transmitted through EliteMeetings.com and SpeedRFP.com. This estimate is premised on RFPs transmitted by planners in each year including those that were never responded to, and may not reflect the actual transactions that ultimately took place, which we generally expect are lower in total dollar value than the estimates above. While we do not earn material revenue from our role in facilitating the introduction of the parties to these transactions through the transmission of the RFPs, we believe that the total estimated value of unique RFPs provides an indication of the growing scale and importance of our marketplace. In 2015, we have made changes in our methodology for calculating the average daily food and beverage rate and these changes have been uniformly applied to the prior years in order to provide a relevant and comparable amount in all periods presented.
Number of RFPs Transmitted. We calculate the number of RFPs transmitted as the total count of all RFPs sent to all hotels and venues through our Hospitality Cloud during the calendar year excluding events and meetings identified by the planner as canceled. Most event planners request proposals from multiple venues for a particular event, and this metric reflects the gross level of activity by planners interacting with venues. We believe that the number of RFPs processed through our Hospitality Cloud is a leading indicator of our online marketplace’s adoption by event planners, as it shows the total level of activity on our network. As the number of RFPs transmitted increases, more venues are incentivized to advertise and list in our Hospitality Cloud due to the increased opportunity for venues to connect with planners.
