SAN ANTONIO - August 8, 2016 - Rackspace® (NYSE: RAX), the #1 managed cloud company, today announced financial results for the quarter that ended June 30, 2016.
On a GAAP basis, net revenue for the second quarter of 2016 was $524 million, up 7.0 percent from the second quarter of 2015. These results were adversely affected by shifts in currency exchange rates and the sale of its Jungle Disk business. Adjusted for those factors, on a normalized basis, net revenue grew 8.9 percent from the second quarter of 2015.
Net income for the second quarter of 2016 was $36 million, for a margin of 6.8 percent, up from 5.8 percent in the second quarter of 2015. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2016 was $187 million, for a margin of 35.8 percent, up from 32.8 percent in the second quarter of 2015.
For the second quarter of 2016, cash flow from operating activities was $165 million and capital expenditures were $82 million. Free Cash Flow was $98 million. At the end of the second quarter of 2016, cash and cash equivalents were $544 million, and interest-bearing debt including capital lease obligations totaled $501 million. Return on Assets was 7.1 percent in the second quarter of 2016 compared to 6.4 percent in the second quarter of 2015. Return on Capital was 16.4 percent in the second quarter of 2016 compared to 11.8 percent in the second quarter of 2015. The company repurchased $66 million in shares in the second quarter of 2016.
"Demand is scaling rapidly for the expertise and managed services that we provide to businesses that use AWS, the Microsoft Cloud, and our OpenStack private cloud," said Taylor Rhodes, president and CEO of Rackspace. "We now serve almost 600 customers on these platforms, including some of the world's largest companies. During the second quarter, we demonstrated continued revenue growth, along with higher profitability, higher capital efficiency, strong operating cash flow and record free cash flow."
As Rackspace continues to focus on delivering expertise and Fanatical Support® for the world's leading clouds, while serving more enterprise customers, it has been divesting services that are not core to this strategy. Rackspace signed an agreement in July to sell its Cloud Sites business to Liquid Web. Liquid Web is a global provider of professional cloud and application hosting services with over $90 million in annual revenue. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2016.
For the third quarter of 2016, Rackspace expects revenue to be between $510 million and $515 million. Excluding the expected negative impact of currency movements and asset divestitures, Rackspace expects its normalized year-over-year growth rate for the quarter to range between 5 percent and 6 percent. For the full year of 2016, Rackspace expects revenue to be between $2.06 billion and $2.08 billion. These revenue estimates factor in approximately $70 million of negative impact from currency movements and asset divestitures. Excluding the expected negative impact, Rackspace expects its normalized growth rate for the year to range between 6.5 percent and 7.5 percent. Adjusted EBITDA margins are expected to range between 33 percent and 35 percent for the third quarter and the full year. Capital expenditures as a percent of revenue are expected to range between 16 percent and 18 percent for the full year.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
Adjusted EBITDA, revenue growth adjusted for foreign currency and asset divestitures, Return on Capital, Free Cash Flow, and Non-GAAP EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. Rackspace believes these measures provide helpful information with respect to evaluating the company's performance. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. The financial statement tables that accompany this press release include reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
With respect to our third quarter of 2016 and full year 2016 expectations given above, reconciliations of revenue growth adjusted for foreign currency and asset divestitures to net revenue are included in the financial statement tables that accompany this press release. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA margin to net income margin cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts due to high variability in net non-operating foreign currency exchange gains or losses and the inability to predict future acquisitions, dispositions, and certain other items that arise from time to time, the impact of which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA margin. The Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess our performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a metric that is used by analysts and investors for comparative and valuation purposes. We disclose this metric in order to support and facilitate the dialogue with research analysts and investors.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income, plus income taxes, total other (income) expense, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash charges for share-based compensation, less gain on sale. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income.

Revenue Growth Adjusted for Foreign Currency and Asset Divestiture
We use revenue growth adjusted for foreign currency and asset divestiture as an additional metric for understanding and assessing our growth excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations on our international business operations and the impact of the sale of certain assets of a non-strategic product line. We also believe this is an important metric to help investors evaluate our performance in comparison to prior periods. The effect of foreign currency is calculated by translating current period results using the average exchange rate from the comparative period rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective period. The effect of the asset divestiture is derived by reducing our net revenue by the amount of net revenue contributed by this product line in the periods being compared. The following table presents a reconciliation of revenue growth adjusted for foreign currency and asset divestiture.

Return on Capital ("ROC")
We believe that ROC is an important metric for investors in evaluating our company’s performance. ROC measures how effectively a company generates profits from the capital that is deployed. We calculate ROC by dividing net operating profit after tax by our average capital base. The following table presents a reconciliation of ROC to Return on Assets, which we calculate directly from amounts on the Consolidated Statements of Income and the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Free Cash Flow
We use Free Cash Flow as a supplemental measure to analyze cash flows generated from our operations because we believe it is useful to investors in evaluating our ability to fund capital expenditures, which continue to be a significant investment required by our business.
We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash purchases of property and equipment, plus excess tax benefits from share-based compensation arrangements. Excess tax benefits represent tax deductions for share-based compensation expense in excess of book compensation expense and reduce our income taxes payable. We have included the impact of excess tax benefits in Free Cash Flow to be consistent with the treatment of other tax benefits.
Free Cash Flow has limitations, including the fact that it does not represent the residual cash flow exclusively available for discretionary expenditures because we are obligated to make payments for debt service and other contractual obligations which have not been deducted from this measure. Therefore, Free Cash Flow should be evaluated in addition to, and not as a substitute for, other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net cash provided by operating activities.

Non-GAAP EPS
Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS are used as supplemental measures to facilitate comparisons to peer companies. Non-GAAP Net Income is defined as net income excluding non-cash charges for share-based compensation and other items that may arise from time to time, net of the related tax benefits. Non-GAAP EPS is calculated using Non-GAAP Net Income divided by the weighted-average number of shares on both an unadjusted basis and as adjusted to give effect to dilutive securities. The following table presents a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures.
