Alteryx Announces Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results


Alteryx, Inc. (NYSE: AYX), a leader in self-service data analytics, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

"This was another strong quarter for Alteryx, highlighted by 52% year-over-year revenue growth, ongoing success with our land and expand model, which brought our total number of customers to over 2,800 as of the end of the quarter, and positive cash flow from operating activities," said Dean Stoecker, CEO of Alteryx, Inc.

Stoecker continued, "Our second quarter results reinforce that we are building momentum for our end-to-end analytics platform, delivering value to our customers, strengthening the Alteryx community, and meeting the untapped needs of both the self-service data analyst and data scientist. The Alteryx platform allows users to experience the thrill of solving, and nowhere was this better on display than through the record attendance at our annual customer conference, Inspire, which we held in June. We are also seeing the emergence of chief data officers within organizations who are focused on weaving data and analytics into the culture of the company. These advocates for modern analytic solutions, like Alteryx, are driving adoption of our solutions across the enterprise."

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Second Quarter and Recent Business Highlights

  • Ended the second quarter of 2017 with 2,823 customers, a 54% increase from the second quarter of 2016. Added 258 net new customers in the second quarter of 2017.
  • Achieved a dollar-based net revenue retention rate of 134% for the second quarter of 2017.
  • Acquired Yhat, Inc., a data science software company headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. Yhat provides data scientists and analysts with self-service data science tools for developing, managing and deploying machine learning models to web and mobile applications faster and with fewer resources. The acquisition will further enhance the Alteryx data analytics platform and build on its strategy to help organizations empower citizen data scientists and trained data scientists to rapidly deploy and manage advanced analytic models.
  • Announced Alteryx Connect, a data exploration platform that empowers users to discover and collaborate on data assets, visualizations, reports and workflows typically siloed across large enterprises. With Alteryx Connect, users can easily find curated data and relevant information from both Alteryx-connected data and other data sources - ultimately decreasing time to insight.
  • Announced the next release of Alteryx Designer during a keynote session at its user conference, Inspire. This release enhances the analytics workbench so that chief data officers and analytics organizations can better scale globally, and allows business users to capitalize on more data assets and to grow their skillset to obtain answers for critical business insights.
  • Announced it will offer Alteryx Server in a cloud computing environment on Microsoft Azure. Organizations can now quickly deploy Alteryx Server, a powerful platform to share analytical workflows across the enterprise, via the Azure Marketplace to empower analysts and business users to more easily consume data and make more informed business decisions.

Financial Outlook

As of August 2, 2017, guidance for the third quarter 2017 and full year 2017 is as follows:

  • Third Quarter 2017 Guidance:
    • Revenue is expected to be in the range of $31.8 million to $32.3 million.
    • Non-GAAP loss from operations is expected to be in the range of $(4.5) million to $(5.0) million.
    • Non-GAAP net loss per share is expected to be in the range of $(0.08) to $(0.09) based on approximately 59.0 million non-GAAP weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding.
  • Full Year 2017 Guidance:
    • Revenue is now expected to be in the range of $125.0 million to $126.0 million.
    • Non-GAAP loss from operations is now expected to be in the range of $(18.0) million to $(19.0) million.
    • Non-GAAP net loss per share is now expected to be in the range of $(0.32) to $(0.34) based on approximately 56.5 million non-GAAP weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding.

The financial outlook above for non-GAAP loss from operations and non-GAAP net loss per share exclude estimates for stock-based compensation expense and acquisition related adjustments, and for non-GAAP net loss per share also excludes the accretion of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis primarily as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets. In particular, stock-based compensation expense is impacted by our future hiring and retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of our Class A common stock, all of which is not within our control, is difficult to predict and is subject to constant change. The actual amount of these expenses during 2017 will have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial guidance measures to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort.

Quarterly Conference Call

Alteryx will host a conference call today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss the company's financial results. To access this call, dial 877-407-9716 (domestic) or 201-493-6779 (international). A live webcast of this conference call will be available on the "Investors" page of the Company's website at www.alteryx.com.

Following the conference call, a telephone replay will be available through August 9, 2017, at 844-512-2921 (domestic) or 412-317-6671 (international). The replay passcode is 13665663. An archived webcast of this conference call will also be available in the "Investors" section of the Company's website.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, and non-GAAP weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We use non-GAAP measures to internally evaluate and analyze financial results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and enable comparison of our financial results with other public companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures. We exclude the following items from one or more of our non-GAAP financial measures:

Stock-based compensation expense. We exclude stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that excluding this item provides meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance. In particular, companies calculate stock-based compensation expense using a variety of valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions.

Acquisition related adjustments. We exclude amortization of intangible assets, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, and related income tax adjustments, which are non-cash, related to business combinations from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures. We exclude such expenses as they are related to a business combination and have no direct correlation to the operation of our business.

Accretion of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock. We exclude accretion relating to our Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock from non-GAAP net loss per share because this is a non-cash item that will not recur in the periods following our initial public offering.

In addition, we adjust non-GAAP weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding to include the conversion of the redeemable convertible preferred stock into shares of common stock as though the conversion had occurred at the beginning of all periods presented as if they had been outstanding since the beginning of each of the respective periods.

Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, we exclude stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets which are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. The non-GAAP measures we use may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures.
