  • Total revenue of $53.2 million increased 29% year-over-year; service revenue of $48.9 million increased 29% year-over-year.
  • GAAP net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was ($1.7 million), or ($0.02) per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $444,000 or $0.01 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2015.
  • Non-GAAP net income was $4.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared with $4.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the same period last year.
  • Service revenue from mid-market/enterprise customers grew 53% year-over-year and now represents 50% of the Company's total service revenue.
  • New monthly recurring revenue (MRR) sold to mid-market/enterprise customers and by channel sales teams increased 94% year-over-year and accounted for 58% of total MRR booked in the quarter, compared with 43% of total MRR booked in the same period last year.
  • Average monthly service revenue (ARPU) per business customer increased 21% to $369, compared with $305 in the same period last year.

"8x8 executed another solid quarter, posting a 94% increase in new monthly recurring revenue sold to mid-market and enterprise customers and by channel sales teams. We continued to demonstrate the effectiveness of our global and multi-channel growth strategies, capturing larger customers and demonstrating our leadership position in the fast-growing UCaaS industry," said 8x8 CEO Vik Verma. "I am extremely pleased with how our team is executing across the board, from the increasing productivity of our sales organization to the dedication and success of our global deployment teams."

"Our service revenue from the mid-market and enterprise segment grew 53% year-over-year and now constitutes 50% of our total service revenue," Verma continued. "Given our continued progress moving upmarket, we are once again revising our fiscal 2016 revenue outlook upward to a range of $205 million to $207 million, which represents a 26%-27% year-over-year increase, from our previous outlook of $204 million to $206 million.

Non-GAAP Measures

The Company has provided in this release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating the Company's ongoing operational performance. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating 8x8's ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing financial results with other companies in the industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. This reconciliation has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.

Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income Per Share

We have defined non-GAAP net income as net income for GAAP plus gain on patent sale, non-cash tax adjustments, stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related costs and impairment of long-lived assets. Non-cash tax adjustments represent the difference between the amount of taxes we expect to pay and our GAAP tax provision each period. We have excluded stock-based compensation expense because it relies on valuations based on future events, such as the market price of our common stock, that are difficult to predict and are affected by market factors that are largely not within the control of management. Amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded because it is a non-cash expense that we do not consider part of ongoing operations when assessing our financial performance, as it relates to accounting for certain purchased assets. We have excluded gain on patent sale and impairment of long-lived assets because we consider them to be isolated transactions and believe they are not reflective of our ongoing operations, and it reduces comparability of periodic operating results when it is included. We have excluded acquisition-related expenses because these expenses are difficult to predict and are often one-time. We define non-GAAP net income per share as non-GAAP net income divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding. We define non-GAAP net income percentage of revenue as non-GAAP net income divided by revenue. The GAAP and non-GAAP weighted average number of diluted shares to calculate GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share are the same. We believe that such exclusions facilitate comparisons to our historical operating results and to the results of other companies in the same industry, and provides investors with information that we use in evaluating management's performance on a quarterly and annual basis.
