SailPoint Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017 Financial ResultsSailPoint Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SAIL), the leader in enterprise identity governance, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending December 31, 2017. "We are pleased to close our first quarter as a public company with very strong results across our key financial measures. Our 2017 total revenue grew 41% year-over-year, and we delivered positive cash flow," said Mark McClain, SailPoint's CEO and Co-founder. "Global organizations are increasingly turning to SailPoint's market-leading identity governance solutions to enable and secure their digital identities by providing the visibility and control required to understand who has access to which applications and data, and whether that access is appropriate." "Eleven years ago, SailPoint released a governance-based solution to manage digital identities. This solution provided the ability to automate costly IT processes while improving security and compliance, and ultimately drove the creation of a new market category, identity governance," added McClain. "Our initial public offering was a significant milestone for SailPoint, and a testament to the amazing work of the entire SailPoint team. The expanded resources and market awareness from our initial public offering put us in a stronger position to execute on our long-term goals as we continue delivering innovation across our identity platform to address the evolving security and compliance needs of global enterprises."

For the full year 2018, SailPoint expects:
These statements regarding SailPoint's expectations of its financial outlook are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Refer to "Forward-Looking Statements" below for information on the factors that could cause its actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. All of SailPoint's forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures exclude estimates for stock-based compensation expense. SailPoint has not reconciled its expectations as to non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss) per basic and diluted common shares to their most directly comparable GAAP measure due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections, particularly with respect to stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense is affected by future hiring, turnover, and retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of our common stock, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to change. The actual amount of the excluded stock-based compensation expense will have a significant impact on SailPoint's GAAP income (loss) from operations and GAAP net income (loss) per basic and diluted common share. Accordingly, reconciliations of our forward-looking non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss) per basic and diluted common shares are not available without unreasonable effort. Conference Call and Webcast: SailPoint will host a conference call today, February 21, 2018, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss its financial results. The dial-in number will be 877-407-0792 or 201-689-8263. A live webcast of the conference call will be available on SailPoint's website at https://investors.sailpoint.com. Following the conference call, a replay will be available until midnight on March 7, 2018. The replay dial-in number will be 844-512-2921 or 412-317-6671, using the replay pin number: 13675283. Non-GAAP Financial Measures: In addition to SailPoint's financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), SailPoint uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to clarify and enhance SailPoint's understanding of past performance and future prospects. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's operating performance, financial position or cash flow that includes or excludes amounts that are included or excluded from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. SailPoint monitors the non-GAAP financial measures described below, and SailPoint's management believes they are helpful to investors because they provide an additional tool to use in evaluating SailPoint's financial and business trends and operating results. In addition, SailPoint's management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare SailPoint's performance to that of prior periods for trend analysis and for budgeting and planning purposes. In particular, SailPoint believes that non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income available to common shareholders per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA, are important measures for evaluating SailPoint's performance because it facilitates comparisons of SailPoint's core operating results from period to period by removing, where applicable, the impact of SailPoint's capital structure (net interest income or expense from SailPoint's outstanding debt, as well as amortization of debt issuance costs and expenses related to call protection on early payment of debt), asset base (depreciation and amortization), income taxes, purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition and sponsor related costs and stock-based compensation. SailPoint's non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry because they may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently than we do. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. SailPoint urges you to review the reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business. Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations. SailPoint believes that the use of non-GAAP income (loss) from operations is helpful to our investors to clarify and enhance their understanding of past performance and future prospects. Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations is calculated as income (loss) from operations on a GAAP basis excluding (i) stock-based compensation expense and (ii) amortization of acquired intangibles. Non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) available to common shareholders per basic and diluted share. SailPoint believes that the use of non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) available to common shareholders per basic and diluted share is helpful to our investors to clarify and enhance their understanding of past performance and future prospects. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is calculated as net income (loss) excluding (i) stock-based compensation expense (ii) amortization of acquired intangibles and (iii) amortization of debt issuance costs, including loss on modification and partial extinguishment of debt (iv) expense related to call protection on early payment of debt and (v) income tax expense (benefit) and including (i) cash income taxes paid. SailPoint defines non-GAAP net income (loss) available to common shareholders per basic and diluted share as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by the non-GAAP weighted average outstanding common shares, which is calculated as if the conversion of our preferred stock, and related accumulated and unpaid dividend occurred at the beginning of each respective period. Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that SailPoint calculates as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, purchase accounting adjustments, acquisition and sponsor related costs and stock-based compensation expense. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest comparable GAAP measures.
