Rapid7 Delivers Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results with 42% Year-Over-Year

Revenue Growth and Positive Operating Cash Flow

Boston, MA – November 9, 2016 Rapid7, Inc. (NASDAQ: RPD), a leading provider of security data and analytics solutions, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2016.

“Our third quarter results showed fundamental strength in several important areas, including solid growth in our mid-market customer base, new product adoption, and uptake of our platform-based cloud analytics,” said Corey Thomas, president and chief executive officer of Rapid7. “Our pipeline is healthy and while the market demand environment remains strong, our total billings growth in the third quarter was lower than we expected due to larger enterpise and federal deals that did not close in the quarter. We continue to believe that Rapid7 is well-positioned to drive growth due to our continuous technology innovation, robust platform-based data and analytics solutions, as well as strong demand from the growing challenges facing IT and security practitioners.”

“We’re pleased to have performed well against our guided metrics for the third quarter and to have delivered another quarter of positive operating cash flow,” said Steven Gatoff, chief financial officer of Rapid7. “We continue to see the value of our unique data and analytics-centric model driving compelling economics with our customers and we remain positive about the underlying strength of our business and our ability to deliver strong revenue growth and improving loss from operations.”

Industry Recognition:

 

    Recognized by SANS for providing the most comprehensive coverage across the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Critical Security Controls for Effective Cyber Defense. The ranking found that Rapid7’s incident detection and response and threat exposure management solutions cover 19 of the 20 controls as defined by CIS. The controls focus on helping organizations minimize the risk they’re exposed to and harden resiliency.

Technology Platform and Product Innovation:

 

    Introduced policy view for Nexpose so customers can see at a glance how compliant they are and quickly understand where their biggest compliance issues are, to begin remediating.

 

    InsightIDR product enhancements were released, including several new detections, compliance dashboards, and the ability to write custom alerts. These capabilities are designed to give practitioners the ability to detect attackers earlier in the lifecycle and exemplify the power, agility, and versatility of the company’s cloud-based analytics engine.

 

    Announced new AppSpider functionality providing enhanced support for JavaScript Single Page Applications (SPAs) built with ReactJS, which is a significant release improvement given the rapid proliferation of SPAs and the challenges created for security teams.

Robust Technology Partnerships:

 

    Rapid7’s Nexpose is now integrated with both McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) and McAfee Data Exchange Layer (DXL). Customers will now have always-on vulnerability management, visibility into their endpoints and entire IT environments, and the ability to prioritize remediation to maximize impact. The integrations will help organizations break down communication barriers between IT and security teams to collaboratively reduce the risk of a breach.

 

    Rapid7 has strengthened and expanded it’s Nexpose integration with ForeScout. Using the ForeScout Extended Module allows joint customers to leverage Nexpose to scan for vulnerabilities and mitigate threats stemming from potentially risky devices that join the network.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, we provide investors with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, which we collectively refer to as non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude all or a combination of the following: stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related expenses, and impairment of long-lived assets. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons, and use certain non-GAAP financial measures as performance measures under our executive bonus plan. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding

 

LOGO


LOGO

 

of past financial performance and future prospects and allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making. While our non-GAAP financial measures are an important tool for financial and operational decision-making and for evaluating our own operating results over different periods of time, you should consider our non-GAAP financial measures alongside our GAAP financial results.

We exclude stock-based compensation expense because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of equity instruments that can impact our non-cash expense. We believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation expense allow for more meaningful comparisons between our operating results from period to period. We believe that excluding the impact of amortization of intangible assets allows for more meaningful comparisons between operating results from period to period as the intangibles are valued at the time of acquisition and are amortized over several years after the acquisition. We also exclude the impact of costs directly related to acquisitions and asset impairments as these costs are unrelated to the current operations and neither comparable to the prior period nor predictive of future results, which we believe allows for a more meaningful comparison between the operating results from period to period. Accordingly, we believe that excluding these expenses provides investors and management with greater visibility into the underlying performance of our business operations, facilitates comparison of our results with other periods and may also facilitate comparison with the results of other companies in our industry.

While a reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, many of these costs and expenses that we may incur in the future, we have provided a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the accompanying financial statement tables included in this press release for non-GAAP results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and exclude expenses that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. Further, stock-based compensation expense has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of the compensation provided to our employees.
