Blackline Announces Second Quarter Financial Results

 Reports Record GAAP Revenue of $42 Million, an Increase of 46%

Provides Third Quarter Financial Guidance;
Reiterates Revenue Guidance and Raises Profitability Outlook for Full Year 2017

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 03, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BlackLine, Inc. (Nasdaq:BL), a leading cloud-based provider of financial controls and automation solutions that enable Continuous Accounting, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.

“We delivered solid second quarter financial results and continued to execute against our operating initiatives and growth strategies,” stated Therese Tucker, Founder and CEO.  “Market demand remains strong across all areas of our business; our teams are focusing on driving new logo growth, and further strengthening and building upon our existing customer relationships.”

Tucker added, “We are continuing to expand our market leadership position and were thrilled to recently be recognized by Gartner as a leader in the 2017 Magic Quadrant for Cloud Financial Corporate Performance Management Solutions.  We are always focused on sharpening our execution and believe the Company is well-positioned to take advantage of the significant market opportunity for BlackLine’s solutions given our competitive positioning, the breadth of our product suite and the strong demand environment globally.”

Second Quarter 2017 Financial Highlights

Key Metrics and Recent Business Highlights

Financial Outlook

Third Quarter 2017

Full Year 2017

Guidance for non-GAAP net loss and net loss per share does not include the impact of the benefit from income taxes that we were able to recognize as a result of the deferred tax liabilities associated with the intangible assets established upon the acquisition in the third quarter of 2016 of Runbook B.V. (the “Runbook Acquisition”), amortization of acquired intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of the Company by its principal stockholders in 2013 (the “2013 Acquisition”) and the Runbook Acquisition, stock-based compensation, and the change in fair value of contingent consideration.  Reconciliations of non-GAAP net loss and net loss per share guidance to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, or net loss and net loss per share, are not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the unpredictability and complexity of the charges excluded from non-GAAP net loss and net loss per share.  The Company expects the variability of the above changes could have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on its future GAAP net loss and net loss per share.

BlackLine, Inc. will hold a conference call to discuss its second quarter results at 2:00 p.m. Pacific time on Thursday, August 3, 2017.  A live audio webcast will be accessible on BlackLine’s investor relations website at http://investors.blackline.com.  The call can also be accessed domestically at (844) 229-7595 and internationally at (314) 888-4260, passcode 54685879.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, BlackLine has provided in this release and the quarterly conference call held on August 3, 2017 certain financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP defined as “non-GAAP financial measures,” which include (i) non-GAAP revenues, (ii) non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin, (iii) non-GAAP operating expenses, (iv) non-GAAP loss from operations, (v) non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share, and (vi) free cash flow.

BlackLine’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to the corresponding GAAP measures, in evaluating BlackLine’s ongoing operational performance and trends and in comparing its financial measures with other companies in the same industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to help investors understand the operational performance of their businesses.  However, it is important to note that the particular items BlackLine excludes from, or includes in, its non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the items excluded from, or included in, similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies in the same industry. 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 measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to such GAAP measures has been provided in the tables included as part of this press release.

Non-GAAP Revenues. Non-GAAP revenues are defined as GAAP revenues adjusted for the impact of purchase accounting resulting from the Runbook Acquisition.  The impact of purchase accounting reduced recorded GAAP revenues during the quarters ended September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016.  The Company believes that presenting non-GAAP revenues is useful to investors as it eliminates the impact of the purchase accounting adjustment to Runbook revenues to allow for a direct comparison of revenues between current and future periods.  The purchase accounting adjustment for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 related to the Runbook Acquisition was not meaningful and was thus not presented.  The Company is presenting non-GAAP net revenues for consistency with prior presentations.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Gross Margin.  Non-GAAP gross profit is defined as non-GAAP revenues less GAAP cost of revenue adjusted for the impact of purchase accounting resulting from the Runbook Acquisition, the amortization of acquired developed technology resulting from the 2013 Acquisition and the Runbook Acquisition, and stock-based compensation. Non-GAAP gross margin is defined as non-GAAP gross profit divided by non-GAAP revenues. BlackLine believes that presenting non-GAAP gross margin is useful to investors as it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash expenses and allows a direct comparison of gross margin between periods.

Non-GAAP Operating Expenses.  Non-GAAP operating expenses include (a) non-GAAP sales and marketing expense, (b) non-GAAP research and development expense and (c) non-GAAP general and administrative expense.  Non-GAAP sales and marketing expense is defined as GAAP sales and marketing expense adjusted for the amortization of acquired intangibles resulting from the 2013 Acquisition and the Runbook Acquisition and stock-based compensation.  Non-GAAP research and development expense is defined as GAAP research and development expense adjusted for stock-based compensation.  Non-GAAP general and administrative expense is defined as GAAP general and administrative expense as adjusted for the amortization of acquired intangibles resulting from the 2013 Acquisition and Runbook Acquisition, stock-based compensation, the change in fair value of contingent consideration, and costs incurred in connection with our secondary offering.  BlackLine believes that presenting each of the non-GAAP operating expenses is useful to investors as it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash expenses and allows a direct comparison of operating expenses between periods.

Non-GAAP Loss from Operations. Non-GAAP loss from operations is defined as GAAP loss from operations adjusted for the impact of purchase accounting to revenues resulting from the Runbook Acquisition, the amortization of acquired intangible assets resulting from the 2013 Acquisition and the Runbook Acquisition, stock-based compensation, the change in fair value of contingent consideration, and costs incurred in connection with our secondary offering. The Company believes that presenting non-GAAP loss from operations is useful to investors as it eliminates the impact of items that have been impacted by the 2013 Acquisition and the Runbook Acquisition, purchase accounting and other related costs in order to allow a direct comparison of loss from operations between all periods presented.

Non-GAAP Net Loss. Non-GAAP net loss is defined as GAAP net loss adjusted for the impact of the benefit from income taxes that we were able to recognize as a result of the deferred tax liabilities associated with the intangible assets established upon the 2013 Acquisition and the Runbook Acquisition, the impact of purchase accounting to revenues resulting from the Runbook Acquisition, amortization of acquired intangible assets resulting from the 2013 Acquisition and the Runbook Acquisition, stock-based compensation, accretion of debt discount pertaining to the former debt facility, accretion of warrant discount relating to warrants issued in connection with the former debt facility, the change in the fair value of contingent consideration, the change in fair value of the common stock warrant liability, and costs incurred in connection with our secondary offering.  The Company believes that presenting non-GAAP net loss is useful to investors as it eliminates the impact of items that have been impacted by the 2013 Acquisition and the Runbook Acquisition, purchase accounting and other related costs in order to allow a direct comparison of net loss between all periods presented.

Free Cash Flow. Free cash flow is defined as cash flows used in operating activities less cash flows used in investing activities related to purchase of property and equipment and capitalized software development. BlackLine believes that presenting free cash flow is useful to investors as it provides a measure of the Company’s liquidity used by management to evaluate the amount of cash generated by the Company’s business including the impact of purchases of property and equipment and cost of capitalized software development.

Use of Operating Metrics

BlackLine has provided in this release and the quarterly conference call held on August 3, 2017 certain operating metrics, including (i) number of customers, (ii) number of users and (iii) dollar-based net revenue retention rate, which BlackLine uses to evaluate its business, measure its performance, identify trends affecting its business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions.  These operating metrics exclude the impact of Runbook licensed customers and users as these customers did not have an active subscription agreement with BlackLine as of June 30, 2017.

Dollar-based Net Revenue Retention Rate.  Dollar-based net revenue retention rate is calculated as the implied monthly subscription and support revenue at the end of a period for the base set of customers from which the Company generated subscription revenue in the year prior to the calculation, divided by the implied monthly subscription and support revenue one year prior to the date of calculation for that same customer base. This calculation does not reflect implied monthly subscription and support revenue for new customers added during the one-year period but does include the effect of customers who terminated during the period.  Implied monthly subscription and support revenue is defined as the total amount of minimum subscription and support revenue contractually committed to, under each of BlackLine’s customer agreements over the entire term of the agreement, divided by the number of months in the term of the agreement.  BlackLine believes that dollar-based net revenue retention rate is an important metric to measure the long-term value of customer agreements and the Company’s ability to retain and grow its relationships with existing customers over time.

Number of Customers. A customer is defined as an entity with an active subscription agreement as of the measurement date. In situations where an organization has multiple subsidiaries or divisions, each entity that is invoiced as a separate entity is treated as a separate customer. However, where an existing customer requests its invoice be divided for the sole purpose of restructuring its internal billing arrangement without any incremental increase in revenue, such customer continues to be treated as a single customer.  BlackLine believes that its ability to expand its customer base is an indicator of the Company’s market penetration and the growth of its business.

Number of Users. Since BlackLine’s customers generally pay fees based on the number of users of its platform within their organization, the Company believes the total number of users is an indicator of the growth of its business.
