Positive Outlook

  • Non-GAAP income from operations is expected to be between $130.0 million and $135.0 million.
  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be between $0.44 and $0.46 with approximately 299 million non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding.

  • Non-GAAP income from operations is expected to be between $355.0 million and $380.0 million.

Challenges Ahead

  • Assumed increased churn in the second half of the fiscal year when compared to historic churn levels due to a higher percentage of customers who purchased monthly subscriptions in the first quarter.
  • A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of expenses that may be incurred in the future.
  • Business, financial results and prospects would be harmed by any decline in new customers and hosts, renewals or upgrades.
  • There is continued uncertainty regarding the extent and duration of the impact of COVID-19 and the responses of government and private industry thereto, as well as the impact of COVID-19 on the overall economic environment.
  • Business would be harmed by any significant interruptions, delays or outages in services from our co-located data centers, and failures in internet infrastructure or interference with broadband access could cause current or potential users to believe that our systems are unreliable.
