Sponsored by Businesswire

Tufin (NYSE: TUFN), a company pioneering a policy-centric approach to security and IT operations, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2019.

“2019 was a transformative year for Tufin as we became a public company and surpassed $100 million in revenue. However, our fourth quarter results were impacted by sales execution challenges primarily in North America. We are disappointed with the fourth quarter and have begun taking steps to improve execution” said Ruvi Kitov, CEO and co-founder. “We continue to see strong demand for our solutions in the marketplace, and our leadership position, long-term growth initiatives and recent organizational changes position us well to capitalize on the large opportunity ahead in security policy management.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions that can impact a company’s non-cash expense, we believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude non-cash share-based compensation expense, secondary offering costs and the tax effect of these non-GAAP adjustments, allows for more meaningful comparisons between our operating results from period to period. These non-GAAP financial measures are an important tool for financial and operational decision-making and for evaluating our operating results over different periods:

  • We define non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit excluding share-based compensation expense.
  • We define non-GAAP operating income (loss) as operating income (loss) excluding share-based compensation expense and secondary offering costs.
  • We define non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss) excluding share-based compensation expense secondary offering costs and the tax effect of these non-GAAP adjustments.

Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) differently or not at all, which reduces the usefulness these non-GAAP financial measures for comparison. You should consider these non-GAAP financial measures along with other financial performance measures, including gross profit, operating income (loss) and net income (loss), and our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Tufin urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business.

Guidance for non-GAAP financial measures excludes share-based compensation expense and other non-recurring items, as applicable. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability and significance of, the amounts of share-based compensation expense and other non-recurring items, as applicable, that are excluded from the guidance. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures for future periods is not available without unreasonable effort.
