Talend Reports Record Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2016 Financial Results


Talend (NASDAQ:TLND), a global leader in cloud and big data integration software, today released financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

"We had a strong finish to 2016 with record fourth quarter revenue of $30.5 million, up 45% year-over-year and marking an eighth consecutive quarter of accelerating revenue growth, driven by over 100% growth in big data and cloud," said Mike Tuchen, Talend CEO. "We were free cash flow positive in the fourth quarter and for the full year 2016, delivering on a target we set at the time of our IPO. We hit a milestone of 1,500 active subscription customers in the fourth quarter, which included the addition of two of the top ten global pharmaceutical companies. More recently, we launched our Winter 2017 release of Talend Data Fabric, continuing to extend our competitive differentiation in the market. We enter 2017 with solid momentum, driven by our strengthening leadership in the big data and cloud integration market."

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (''IFRS'') as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (''IASB''), this press release and the accompanying tables contain certain non-IFRS financial measures, including non-IFRS net loss, non-IFRS gross profit, non-IFRS operating margin, non-IFRS cost of revenue, non-IFRS operating expenses, non-IFRS loss from operations, non-IFRS sales and marketing, non-IFRS research and development, non-IFRS general and administrative, free cash flow and subscription revenue on a constant currency basis. Net loss per share on an as converted basis and non-IFRS net loss per share on an as converted basis assume the conversion of the preferred shares to ordinary shares occurred at the beginning of the period.

We define non-IFRS net loss as net loss less stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles. We define non-IFRS gross profit as gross profit less stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles. We define non-IFRS loss from operations as loss from operations less stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles. We calculate non-IFRS operating margin as non-IFRS loss from operations divided by total revenue expressed as a percentage. We define non-IFRS cost of revenue as cost of revenue less stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles. We define non-IFRS operating expenses as operating expenses less stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles. We define non-IFRS sales and marketing as sales and marketing less stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles. We define non-IFRS research and development as research and development less stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles. We define non-IFRS general and administrative as general and administrative less stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles. We define free cash flow as net cash from (used in) operating activities less net cash used in investing activities for purchases of property and equipment and intangible assets.

The term subscription revenue on a constant currency basis represents subscription revenue adjusted to exclude foreign currency impacts. Subscription revenue on a constant currency basis is calculated by applying the average monthly currency rate for each month in the comparative period to the corresponding month in the current period. We believe the disclosure of subscription revenue in constant currency provides useful supplementary information to investors in light of potential significant fluctuations in currency rates.

Non-IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Talend considers these non-IFRS financial measures to be important because they provide useful indicators of its performance and liquidity measures. These are key measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short and long-term operational plans. In addition, investors often use similar measures to evaluate the performance of a company. Non-IFRS financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding the company's operating performance. The non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS, and may be different from non-IFRS financial measures presented by other companies. Please see the reconciliation of non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure attached to this release below.
