Commvault [NASDAQ: CVLT] today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 and unveiled Commvault Advance, a multi-pronged transformation initiative spanning a series of actions completed over the past year, currently underway, and still to come that together are designed to drive sustained business performance.

N. Robert Hammer, Commvault's Chairman, President and CEO stated, "We concluded our fiscal year achieving quarterly software and products revenue of $83.5 million, representing 7% growth year over year, and total revenues of $184.9 million, which increased 11% year over year. Our software and products revenue growth was driven by a record number of enterprise transactions and significant acceleration of our subscription-based pricing model. For the fourth quarter, approximately 37% of our software and products revenue was attributable to subscription-based pricing which resulted in full year fiscal 2018 subscription-based pricing being 25% of our software and product revenues. We are also pleased with the early success of our Commvault HyperScale(TM) Appliance, Commvault HyperScale(TM) Software, and Platform enhancements that had a significant impact to product revenues in the quarter."

"These results show the progress we are making in strengthening our competitive technology position, enhancing and expanding distribution, and realigning resources to drive our go-to-market as a partner-led organization. However, we know we can and must do more in order to return the Company to sustainable, profitable growth. The transformation plan announced today, Commvault Advance, is designed to accelerate our margin improvement and ensure we fully capitalize on Commvault's market leadership, with value creation for our shareholders and customers alike. Finally, we remained opportunistic during the fourth fiscal quarter repurchasing $21 million of our common stock bringing our full fiscal year 2018 repurchases to $112 million," said Hammer.

Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2018 Financial Results
Total revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 were $184.9 million, an increase of 11% year-over-year and 3% sequentially. Software and products revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 was $83.5 million, an increase of 7% year-over-year and 3% sequentially. Services revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 was $101.4 million, an increase of 15% year-over-year and 2% sequentially.

For the full fiscal year, total revenues were $699.4 million, an increase of 8% from fiscal 2017. Software and products revenue for the full fiscal year was $311.7 million, an increase of 7% from fiscal 2017. Services revenue for the full fiscal year was $387.6 million, an increase of 9% from fiscal 2017.

On a GAAP basis, income from operations (EBIT) increased to $4.6 million for the fourth quarter compared to a loss of $1.8 million in the same period of the prior year. Non-GAAP income from operations (EBIT) increased to $22.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to $17.6 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year.

For the full fiscal year, Commvault reported a net loss of $61.9 million. During the year, Commvault recorded approximately $52.5 million of non-cash income tax charges related to the combined impact of the lower US corporate income tax rate on deferred tax assets and recording a valuation allowance against the remaining value of deferred tax assets.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in Financial Statement Table IV included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Commvault Advance
Increasing the rate of top line growth and getting Commvault back to sustainable growth in operating margins are at the core of the Commvault Advance initiative. Commvault Advance began implementation internally with product improvements developed over the course of the past 18 months, followed by strategic partner actions late in 2018, and was designed to accelerate change and to be announced at the beginning of the company's new fiscal year, staring April 1, 2018.

Commvault has already taken important actions toward achieving these objectives, including:

    --  Established product solution groups that more tightly bridge between
        product development and product go-to-market, speeding the time from
        product conception to market availability.


    --  Made changes over the past year to deliver solutions that are simpler
        for customers to implement and use, including a powerful yet simple,
        web-based user interface, and appliance offerings.


    --  Made changes in pricing and packaging, making it easier for customers to
        buy Commvault products, including subscription-based pricing models that
        have accounted for approximately 37% of Q4 and 25% of FY'18 software and
        product revenue.


    --  Launched new products into market to extend Commvault's innovation
        leadership, including Commvault HyperScale Software and Appliances; data
        migration and cloud management solutions; and the portfolio of
        software-as-a-service and outcomes-based offerings.  For example, in
        their first full quarter of being in market, Commvault HyperScale
        Technology and ScaleProtect with Cisco UCS had a significant
        contribution to quarterly software and product revenue.


    --  Over the past year, we have established a much broader, stronger partner
        ecosystem with announcements with the following key strategic partners:
        Cisco, HPE, Microsoft and AWS; and new relationships with Infinidat, and
        Google and Oracle,and others.

    --  Added new senior leadership to drive a strategic re-focusing of
        Commvault's go-to-market with partners, including new worldwide heads of
        partnerships, alliances and channels.

Commvault announced today that it is implementing a series of new transformational moves under Commvault Advance. These steps include:

    --  Immediate moves to create a more efficient go-to-market team by
        restructuring and reorganizing field-facing resources in sales and
        marketing to be directly tied to key routes to market with alliances,
        distribution, service provider, and global SI partners.


    --  A worldwide cost-reduction effort, with actions underway to reduce,
        consolidate and align resources across all functional areas.  This
        effort will include an examination of the use of contracted employees,
        third party expenses, T&E and targeted headcount reductions of
        approximately 4% of the workforce.
    --  Supplemental pricing and packaging options in the company's core data
        protection offering, and upcoming new product announcements that are
        aligned with key routes to market.

In addition, as separately announced today in connection with our agreement with Elliott Management, Commvault and its Board of Directors have initiated new governance initiatives and a comprehensive review of Commvault's business and capital allocation to identify additional opportunities for improvement and value creation.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Commvault has provided in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP income from operations margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. This selected financial information has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Commvault uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and make operating decisions. In addition, Commvault believes these non-GAAP operating measures are useful to investors, when used as a supplement to GAAP financial measures, in evaluating Commvault's ongoing operational performance. Commvault believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing its financial results with other companies in Commvault's industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to the investment community. Commvault has also provided software, services and total revenues on a constant currency basis. Commvault analyzes revenue growth on a constant currency basis in order to provide a comparable framework for assessing how the business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations. Finally, Commvault has provided free cash flow, which Commvault uses to measure the amount of cash flow the business is generating after capital expenditures.

All of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which are provided in Table IV included in this press release.

Non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP income from operations margin. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude noncash stock-based compensation charges and additional FICA and related payroll tax expense incurred by Commvault when employees exercise in the money stock options or vest in restricted stock awards. Commvault believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful metrics for management and investors because they compare Commvault's core operating results over multiple periods. When evaluating the performance of Commvault's operating results and developing short and long term plans, Commvault does not consider such expenses. Although noncash stock-based compensation and the additional FICA and related payroll tax expenses are necessary to attract and retain employees, Commvault places its primary emphasis on stockholder dilution as compared to the accounting charges related to such equity compensation plans. In addition, because of the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions such as volatility, which are outside of Commvault's control and the variety of awards that companies can issue, Commvault believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude noncash stock-based compensation expense and the additional FICA and related payroll tax expenses incurred on stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock awards allow investors to make meaningful comparisons between Commvault's operating results and those of other companies.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP income from operations margin. The most significant limitation is that these non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain operating costs, primarily related to noncash stock-based compensation, which is of a recurring nature. Noncash stock-based compensation has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in Commvault's operating results. In addition, noncash stock-based compensation is an important part of Commvault's employees' compensation and can have a significant impact on their performance. Lastly, the components Commvault excludes in its non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the components that its peer companies exclude when they report their non-GAAP financial measures.

Commvault's management generally compensates for limitations described above related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures by providing investors with a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Further, Commvault management uses non-GAAP financial measures only in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS. Non-GAAP net income excludes noncash stock-based compensation, the additional FICA and related payroll tax expenses incurred by Commvault when employees exercise in the money stock options or vest in restricted stock awards. Commvault has also excluded its share of loss from its equity method investment. In addition, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS incorporate a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 37% in fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017.

Commvault anticipates that in any given period its non-GAAP tax rate may be either higher or lower than the GAAP tax rate as evidenced by historical fluctuations. On an annual basis, the GAAP tax rate was 37% for fiscal 2014 and 34% for fiscal 2015. The GAAP tax rates for fiscal 2016, 2017 and fiscal 2018 are not meaningful percentages due to the dollar amount of GAAP pre-tax income. In addition, during fiscal 2018, Commvault recorded non-cash income tax charges related to the combined impact of the lower US corporate income tax rate on deferred tax assets and recording a valuation allowance against the remaining value of deferred tax assets.

From a cash tax perspective, the cash tax rate is estimated to be 18% for fiscal 2014 and 26% for fiscal 2015. For the same reason as the GAAP tax rates, the estimated cash tax rates for fiscal 2016, 2017 and fiscal 2018 are not meaningful percentages. Estimated net cash taxes for fiscal 2018 were approximately $6 million. Estimated net cash taxes for fiscal 2019 are expected to be less than $10 million and relate primarily to Commvault's international operations. Commvault defines its cash tax rate as the total amount of cash income taxes payable for the fiscal year divided by consolidated GAAP pre-tax income. Over time, Commvault believes its GAAP and cash tax rates will align.

Commvault measured itself to non-GAAP tax rates of 37% in fiscal 2018 and recent fiscal years. As a result of recent U.S. income tax reform, in fiscal 2019 Commvault will reduce its non-GAAP tax rate to 27%, which should align with Commvault's expected long-term cash tax rate. Commvault believes that the use of a non-GAAP tax rate is a useful measure as it allows management and investors to compare its operating results on a more consistent basis over the multiple periods presented in its earnings release without the impact of significant variations in the tax rate as more fully described above. Non-GAAP EPS is derived from non-GAAP net income divided by the weighted average shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis.

Commvault considers non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS useful metrics for Commvault management and its investors for the same basic reasons that Commvault uses non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP income from operations margin. In addition, the same limitations as well as management actions to compensate for such limitations described above also apply to Commvault's use of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS.

    (2)              Represents additional FICA and
                     related payroll tax expenses
                     incurred by Commvault when
                     employees exercise in the money
                     stock options or vest in
                     restricted stock awards.


    (3)              Represents Commvault's share of
                     loss from its investment in
                     Laitek, Inc.  In the fourth
                     quarter of fiscal 2018 Commvault
                     recorded a non-cash impairment
                     charge to reduce the value of its
                     investment to zero.


    (4)              Commvault terminated its line of
                     credit in February 2018.  As a
                     result, it incurred additional
                     non-cash amortization related to
                     the unamortized portion of
                     deferred financing fees.  The
                     impact of this additional
                     amortization has been adjusted in
                     order to make fiscal 2018
                     comparable to the prior period.


    (5)              The provision for income taxes is
                     adjusted to reflect Commvault's
                     estimated non-GAAP effective tax
                     rate of approximately 37% in
                     fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017.


    (6)              Revenues on a constant currency
                     basis are calculated using the
                     average foreign exchange rates
                     from a previous period and
                     applying these rates to foreign-
                     denominated revenues in the
                     corresponding period during fiscal
                     2018. The difference between
                     revenue calculated based on these
                     foreign exchange rates and
                     revenues calculated in accordance
                     with GAAP is listed as adjustment
                     for currency impact in the table
                     above.


    (7)              Adjusted for the retrospective
                     adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from
                     Contracts with Customers
