Outlook:

New Relic has not reconciled its expectations as to non-GAAP income from
operations or non-GAAP net income per diluted share to their most
directly comparable GAAP measures as a result of uncertainty regarding,
and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as stock-based
compensation, lawsuit litigation expenses and employer payroll taxes on
equity incentive plans. Accordingly, reconciliation is not available
without unreasonable effort, although it is important to note that these
factors could be material to New Relic’s results computed in accordance
with GAAP.

  • First Quarter Fiscal 2020 Outlook:

    • Revenue between $138.0 million and $140.0 million, representing
      year-over-year growth of between 28% and 29%, respectively.
    • Non-GAAP income from operations of between $0.5 million and $1.5
      million.
    • Non-GAAP net income attributable to New Relic per diluted share of
      between $0.07 and $0.08.
  • Full Year Fiscal 2020 Outlook:

    • Revenue between $600.0 million and $607.0 million, representing
      year-over-year growth of between 25% and 27%.
    • Non-GAAP income from operations of between $20.0 million and $25.0
      million.
    • Non-GAAP net income attributable to New Relic per diluted share of
      between $0.54 and $0.62.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

New Relic discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures in this
release and the earnings call referencing this press release: non-GAAP
income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross
margin, non-GAAP operating expenses (sales and marketing, research and
development, general and administrative), non-GAAP operating margin,
non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to New Relic per diluted share,
non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to New Relic per basic share and
free cash flow. New Relic uses each of these non-GAAP financial measures
internally to understand and compare operating results across accounting
periods, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, for short- and
long-term operating plans, and to evaluate New Relic’s financial
performance. In addition, New Relic’s bonus plan for eligible employees
and executives is based in part on non-GAAP income (loss) from
operations. New Relic believes these non-GAAP financial measures are
useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating its
operational performance, as further discussed below. New Relic’s
non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly
comparable to that provided by other companies in its industry, as other
companies in its industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results
differently, particularly related to non-recurring and unusual items. In
addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures
because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance
with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by
other companies and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on
New Relic’s reported financial results.

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

New Relic defines non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses
(sales and marketing, research and development, general and
administrative), non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin,
non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, and non-GAAP net income (loss)
attributable to New Relic as the respective GAAP balances, adjusted for,
as applicable: (1) stock-based compensation expense, (2) amortization of
stock-based compensation capitalized in software development costs, (3)
the amortization of purchased intangibles, (4) the transaction costs
related to acquisition, (5) lawsuit litigation expense, (6) employer
payroll tax expense on equity incentive plans, and (7) amortization of
debt discount and issuance costs. Non-GAAP net income (loss) per basic
and diluted share is calculated as non-GAAP net income (loss)
attributable to New Relic divided by weighted-average shares used to
compute net income (loss) attributable to New Relic per share, basic and
diluted, with the number of weighted-average shares decreased to reflect
the anti-dilutive impact of the capped call transactions entered into in
connection with the 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 issued in
May 2018. New Relic defines free cash flow as GAAP cash from operations,
minus capital expenditures and minus capitalized software. Investors are
encouraged to review the reconciliation of these historical non-GAAP
financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial
measures.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to
investors and others in assessing New Relic’s operating performance due
to the following factors:

Stock-based compensation and amortization of stock-based compensation
capitalized in software development costs.
New Relic utilizes
share-based compensation to attract and retain employees. It is
principally aimed at aligning their interests with those of its
stockholders and at long-term retention, rather than to address
operational performance for any particular period. As a result,
share-based compensation expenses vary for reasons that are generally
unrelated to financial and operational performance in any particular
period.

Amortization of purchased intangibles and transaction costs related
to acquisition.
New Relic views amortization of purchased intangible
assets as items arising from pre-acquisition activities determined at
the time of an acquisition. While these intangible assets are evaluated
for impairment regularly, amortization of the cost of purchased
intangibles is an expense that is not typically affected by operations
during any particular period. Similarly, New Relic views acquisition
related expenses as events that are not necessarily reflective of
operational performance during a period.

Lawsuit litigation expense. New Relic may from time to time incur
charges or benefits that are outside of the ordinary course of New
Relic’s business related to litigation. New Relic believes it is useful
to exclude such charges or benefits because it does not consider such
amounts to be part of the ongoing operation of New Relic’s business and
because of the singular nature of the claims underlying the matter.

Employer payroll tax expense on equity incentive plans. New Relic
excludes employer payroll tax expense on equity incentive plans as these
expenses are tied to the exercise or vesting of underlying equity awards
and the price of New Relic’s common stock at the time of vesting or
exercise. As a result, these taxes may vary in any particular period
independent of the financial and operating performance of New Relic’s
business.

Amortization of debt discount and issuance costs. In May 2018,
New Relic issued approximately $500 million of convertible senior notes
due in 2023, which bear interest at an annual fixed rate of 0.50%. The
effective interest rate of the convertible senior notes was
approximately 5.74%. This is a result of the debt discount recorded for
the conversion feature that is required to be separately accounted for
as equity, and debt issuance costs, which reduce the carrying value of
the convertible debt instrument. The debt discount is amortized as
interest expense together with the issuance costs of the debt. The
expense for the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs is
a non-cash item, and we believe the exclusion of this interest expense
will provide for a more useful comparison of our operational performance
in different periods.

Anti-dilutive impact of capped call transactions. In connection
with the issuance of its convertible senior notes due in 2023, New Relic
entered into capped call transactions to offset potential dilution from
the embedded conversion feature in the notes. Although New Relic cannot
reflect the anti-dilutive impact of the capped call transactions under
GAAP, New Relic does reflect the anti-dilutive impact of the capped call
transactions in non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to New Relic per
share, basic and diluted, to provide investors with useful information
in evaluating the financial performance of the company on a per share
basis.

Additionally, New Relic’s management believes that the non-GAAP
financial measure free cash flow is meaningful to investors because
management reviews cash flows generated from operations after taking
into consideration capital expenditures and the capitalization of
software development costs due to the fact that these expenditures are
considered to be a necessary component of ongoing operations.

Operating Metrics

New Relic defines the number of paid business accounts at the end of any
particular period as the number of accounts at the end of the period as
identified by a unique account identifier for which New Relic has
recognized revenue on the last day of the period indicated. A single
organization or customer may have multiple paid business accounts for
separate divisions, segments, or subsidiaries. New Relic defines an
enterprise paid business account as a paid business account that New
Relic measures to have over 1,000 employees.

New Relic’s monthly recurring revenue represents the revenue that New
Relic would contractually expect to receive from those customers over
the following month, without any increase or reduction in any of their
subscriptions. Similarly, annual recurring revenue represents the
revenue that New Relic would contractually expect to receive from those
customers over the following 12-month period, without any increase or
reduction in any of their subscriptions.

New Relic’s dollar-based net expansion rate compares its recurring
subscription revenue from customers from one period to the next. It is
increased when customers increase their use of New Relic’s products, use
additional products, or upgrade to a higher subscription tier. New
Relic’s dollar-based net expansion rate is reduced when customers
decrease their use of New Relic’s products, use fewer products, or
downgrade to a lower subscription tier.
