Sponsored by Businesswire

Everbridge,
Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), the global leader in critical event management and
enterprise safety software applications to help keep people safe and
businesses running, today announced its financial results for the first
quarter ended March 31, 2019.

“We delivered a strong start to 2019 with results that were above our
guidance ranges for both revenue and profitability, and generating 40%
revenue growth,” said Jaime Ellertson, Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman of Everbridge. “In the first quarter we saw continued momentum
and expansion with our most strategic product suite – Critical Event
Management – as well as significant wins across all our key solutions
and geographies. We believe that with our industry-leading solutions to
protect people and assets across organizations – from companies to
entire countries – we are well-positioned to continue delivering strong
growth as we further penetrate this multi-billion dollar market.”

First Quarter 2019 Financial Highlights

  • Total revenue was $42.8 million, an increase of 40% compared to $30.5
    million for the first quarter of 2018.
  • GAAP operating loss was $(13.3) million, compared to a GAAP operating
    loss of $(10.9) million for the first quarter of 2018.
  • Non-GAAP operating loss was $(3.9) million, compared to non-GAAP
    operating loss of $(3.4) million for the first quarter of 2018.
    Non-GAAP operating loss/income excludes stock-based compensation and
    amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions.
  • GAAP net loss was $(14.1) million, compared to $(12.3) million for the
    first quarter of 2018. GAAP net loss per share was $(0.44), based on
    32.3 million basic and diluted weighted average common shares
    outstanding, compared to $(0.43) for the first quarter of 2018, based
    on 28.4 million basic and diluted weighted average common shares
    outstanding.
  • Non-GAAP net loss was $(4.7) million, compared to $(4.8) million in
    the first quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP net loss per share was $(0.15),
    based on 32.3 million basic and diluted weighted average common shares
    outstanding, compared to $(0.17) for the first quarter of 2018, based
    on 28.4 million basic and diluted weighted average common shares
    outstanding. Non-GAAP net loss excludes stock-based compensation and
    amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $(1.9) million, compared to a loss of
    $(1.8) million in the first quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA
    represents net loss before interest income and interest expense,
    income tax expense and benefit, depreciation and amortization expense
    and stock-based compensation expense.
  • Cash flow from operations was an inflow of $8.7 million compared to an
    inflow of $7.5 million for the first quarter of 2018.
  • Free cash flow was an inflow of $3.9 million compared to an inflow of
    $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2018. Free cash flow is cash
    flow from operations, less cash used for capital expenditures and
    additions to capitalized software development costs.

Recent Business Highlights

  • Ended the first quarter with 4,532 global enterprise customers, up
    from 3,539 at the end of the first quarter of 2018.
  • Launched Crisis Management, a new software application designed to
    help organizations dynamically manage the lifecycle of a critical
    event and accelerate response and recovery times. Crisis Management,
    which is fully integrated with the Everbridge Critical Event
    Management (CEM) suite, centralizes incident response tasks,
    activities and resources through a common operating picture and
    accompanying mobile application. Crisis, business continuity, security
    and resiliency teams can utilize the solution to create and launch
    response plans, add tasks on the fly, and collaborate with all
    stakeholders, no matter their location, to quickly restore operations,
    mitigate brand and financial impacts, and help ensure employee safety.
  • Announced the integration of IT Alerting with IBM security
    intelligence technology to enable joint customers to automate
    communications, collaboration, and orchestration tasks to streamline
    the overall information security incident response process. The
    Everbridge IT Alerting integration for the IBM QRadar Security
    Intelligence Platform helps InfoSec teams to automatically identify
    the required IT personnel and engage with them in a matter of minutes,
    wherever they might be.
  • Closed a public offering of 2,645,000 shares of common stock in
    January at a price to the public of $55.25 per share. All of the
    shares were offered by Everbridge.
  • Promoted Patrick Brickley, formerly Everbridge Vice President of
    Finance & Accounting, to the role of Senior Vice President & Chief
    Financial Officer in a planned succession upon the retirement of
    Kenneth Goldman.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures:
non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin,
non-GAAP sales and marketing, non-GAAP research and development,
non-GAAP general and administrative, non-GAAP operating expenses,
non-GAAP operating income/(loss), non-GAAP net income/(loss), non-GAAP
net income/(loss) per share, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow.

We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide
useful information to management and investors regarding certain
financial and business trends relating to Everbridge’s financial
condition and results of operations. We use these non-GAAP measures for
financial, operational and budgetary decision-making purposes, to
understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, and
to generate future operating plans. We believe that these non-GAAP
financial measures provide useful information regarding past financial
performance and future prospects, and permit us to more thoroughly
analyze key financial metrics used to make operational decisions. We
believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an
additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating
results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with other
software companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial
measures to investors.

We do not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an
alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP.
The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that
they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP
to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements. In addition, they
are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of
judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or
included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to
compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial
measures in connection with GAAP results. We urge investors to review
the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable
GAAP financial measures, which are included in this press release, and
not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
