Carbonite Announces Preliminary Second Quarter 201

BOSTON, July 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carbonite, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ: CARB ), a global leader in data protection, today announced preliminary financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018 and business outlook for the full year of 2018.

Second Quarter 2018 Preliminary Results:

While Carbonite’s normal financial closing and financial statement preparation process is in its preliminary stages, Carbonite currently expects the following preliminary financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018:

Carbonite’s expectations of second quarter results for non-GAAP revenue and non-GAAP net income per share are driven by strong sales of subscription-based offerings, better than expected results associated with the integration of Mozy, and a continued focus on cost management. The Company currently expects that its final second quarter results will be within the ranges described above. It is possible, however, that the Company's final second quarter results will not be within the ranges it currently estimates. The Company's independent registered public accounting firm has not completed their review of the Company's results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018.

These estimated ranges and drivers of second quarter financial performance represent the most current information available to management and are not meant to be a comprehensive statement of our financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. As such, the expectations above are subject to change.

Business Outlook:

Based on the information available as of July 16, 2018, Carbonite expects the following for the full year of 2018:

Carbonite’s expectations of non-GAAP net income per share for the full year of 2018 excludes the impact of purchase accounting adjustments on acquired deferred revenue, amortization expense on intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, litigation-related expense, restructuring-related expense, acquisition-related expense, non-cash convertible debt interest expense, and the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. Non-GAAP net income per share assumes an effective tax rate of 8% for the full year of 2018. Non-GAAP net income per share assumes fully-diluted weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 31.8 million for the full year of 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP revenue and non-GAAP net income per share.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and ordinary results of operations. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior periods and uses these measures in financial reports prepared for management and the Company’s board of directors. The Company believes 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 the Company’s financial measures with other software-as-a-service companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

The Company does 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 items 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 judgments by management. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial results to GAAP for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018 is attached hereto.

With respect to our expectations under "Business Outlook" above, the Company has not reconciled the non-GAAP information to GAAP in this press release because we do not provide guidance for amortization expense on intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, litigation-related expense, restructuring-related expense, acquisition-related expense, non-cash convertible debt interest expense, and the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments as we are unable to quantify certain of these amounts that would be required to be included in the GAAP measurements without unreasonable efforts. As such, the estimates above are subject to change, including, without limitation, year-end adjustments. In addition, the Company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and are difficult to predict and a reconciliation or a range of results could lead to disclosure that would be imprecise or potentially misleading.
