Yext, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year Fiscal 2019 Results

NEW YORK, March 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Yext, Inc. (NYSE: YEXT), the leader in digital knowledge management (DKM), today announced its results for the three months ended January 31, 2019, or the Company's fourth quarter, and the fiscal year that ended in that same period.

"We had another record quarter highlighted by the addition of 128 new Enterprise logos - the most we've added in any quarter in our history. The fourth quarter reflects our increasing momentum throughout fiscal 2019, with nearly 350 new Enterprise accounts signed," said Howard Lerman, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Yext.

"Brands around the world are catching on to the revolution of DKM, including thought leaders like Morgan Stanley. During the quarter, Morgan Stanley announced its selection of Yext as the designated platform to manage facts such as their areas of focus, certifications, language skills, investment approach and more for its 15,000 wealth advisors.

"Today, we manage more than 185 million facts about our customers in our platform, providing brand-verified answers in services like Google, Siri, Alexa and WeChat to consumers looking for information verified by the source of truth. We will continue to invest in expanding our services and features, our geographic reach, and the endpoints in our Knowledge Network as we continue our mission to provide perfect answers everywhere."

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2019 Highlights:

Note to the reader: Yext adopted the revenue accounting standard ASC 606 for its fiscal year ended January 31, 2019, and the results for both the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, 2019, which we refer to as the current periods, are presented on that basis. Yext elected the modified retrospective approach for adoption and our results for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018 and all prior periods continue to be presented on the basis of ASC 605. Because we previously issued revenue and non-GAAP net loss per share guidance for the current periods on the basis of ASC 605, these results are also presented below on the basis of ASC 605 to facilitate comparability to the guidance. See the tables labeled "Reconciliation of Impacts from the Adoption of ASC 606" at the end of this release.

    --  Revenue of $63.8 million, a 33% increase as compared to the $48.0
        million reported in fourth quarter fiscal 2018. The adoption of ASC 606
        did not have a material impact on revenue in the quarter.
    --  Gross Profit of $48.1 million, a 34% increase as compared to the $35.8
        million reported in fourth quarter fiscal 2018. Gross margin of 75.5% as
        compared to the 74.6% reported in fourth quarter fiscal 2018.
    --  Net Loss and Non-GAAP Net Loss:
        --  Net loss of $15.5 million as compared to the $17.0 million net loss
            in fourth quarter fiscal 2018. The improvement reflects a benefit to
            sales and marketing expenses associated with the adoption of ASC
            606, as commissions and related costs are now being amortized over a
            longer period.
        --  Non-GAAP net loss of $3.2 million as compared to the $9.6 million
            non-GAAP net loss in the fourth quarter fiscal 2018. The improvement
            was primarily due to the same factors that affected net loss.
    --  Net Loss Per Share and Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share:
        --  Net loss per share of $0.15 based on 101.4 million weighted-average
            shares outstanding, as compared to the net loss per share of $0.18
            in the fourth quarter fiscal 2018 based on 92.4 million
            weighted-average shares outstanding.
        --  Non-GAAP net loss per share of $0.03 as reported under ASC 606,
            based on 101.4 million weighted-average shares outstanding, as
            compared to the non-GAAP net loss per share of $0.10 in the fourth
            quarter fiscal 2018 based on 92.4 million weighted-average shares
            outstanding.
        --  Non-GAAP net loss per share would have been $0.08 if reported on the
            basis of ASC 605.
    --  Balance Sheet: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of
        $142.8 million as of January 31, 2019. The adoption of ASC 606 did not
        alter the reported cash balance.
    --  Cash Flow: Cash provided by operating activities for the fourth quarter
        of fiscal 2019 was $30.8 million as compared to cash used in operating
        activities of $2.1 million in the same period in fiscal 2018. The
        improvement in cash flow in the current period reflects improved working
        capital, driven primarily by a higher amount of unearned revenue.
    --  Remaining Performance Obligations ("RPO"): RPO as of January 31, 2019
        was $262.0 million, with $242.9 million expected to be recognized over
        the next 24 months and the balance to be recognized thereafter. RPO does
        not include amounts under contracts subject to certain accounting
        exclusions.

Full Year Fiscal 2019 Highlights:

    --  Revenue of $228.3 million as reported under ASC 606, or $228.8 million
        if reported on the basis of ASC 605, reflects a 34% increase as compared
        to the $170.2 million reported in fiscal year ended January 31, 2018.
    --  Gross Profit of $170.9 million, a 35% increase as compared to the $126.1
        million reported in fiscal year ended January 31, 2018. Gross margin of
        74.9% as compared to the 74.1% reported in fiscal year ended January 31,
        2018.
    --  Net Loss and Non-GAAP Net Loss:
        --  Net loss of $74.8 million as compared to the $66.6 million net loss
            in fiscal year ended January 31, 2018.
        --  Non-GAAP net loss of $30.6 million as compared to the $44.2 million
            non-GAAP net loss in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018.
    --  Net Loss Per Share and Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share:
        --  Net loss per share of $0.76 based on 98.4 million weighted-average
            shares outstanding, as compared to the net loss per share of $0.85
            in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018 based on 78.6 million
            weighted-average shares outstanding.
        --  Non-GAAP net loss per share of $0.31 as reported under ASC 606,
            based on 98.4 million weighted-average shares outstanding at January
            31, 2019, as compared to the non-GAAP net loss per share of $0.47 in
            the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018 based on 94.0 million
            non-GAAP shares outstanding at January 31, 2018.
        --  Non-GAAP net loss per share would have been $0.40 if reported on the
            basis of ASC 605.
    --  Cash Flow: Cash provided by operating activities for the fiscal year
        ended January 31, 2019 was $5.2 million as compared to cash used in
        operating activities of $32.4 million for the fiscal year ended January
        31, 2018.

As the Company adopted ASC 606 on a modified retrospective basis, operating results for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019 are presented under ASC 606, whereas operating results for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2018 are presented under ASC 605. Readers are encouraged to review the tables labeled "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of Impacts from the Adoption of ASC 606" at the end of this release.

Non-GAAP Measurements
In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables include non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share and non-GAAP net loss margin. Non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share and non-GAAP net loss margin are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. We define these non-GAAP net loss financial measures as our GAAP net loss as adjusted to exclude the effects of stock-based compensation expenses. Non-GAAP net loss per share is defined as non-GAAP net loss on a per share basis. See "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a discussion of the applicable weighted-average shares outstanding. Non-GAAP net loss margin is defined as non-GAAP net loss divided by revenue. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and other users of our financial information consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations. With respect to non-GAAP net loss margin, we believe this metric is useful in evaluating our profitability relative to the amount of revenue generated, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense. We also believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as these metrics eliminate the effects of stock-based compensation, which may vary for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with traditional GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and to communicate with our Board of Directors concerning our financial performance. Our definition may differ from the definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish this or similar metrics. Thus, our non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, nor superior to or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

These non-GAAP financial measures may be limited in their usefulness because they do not present the full economic effect of our use of stock-based compensation. We compensate for these limitations by providing investors and other users of our financial information a reconciliation of non-GAAP net loss to net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share to net loss per share and non-GAAP net loss margin to net loss margin, the most closely related GAAP financial measures. However, we have not reconciled the non-GAAP guidance measures disclosed under "Financial Outlook" to their corresponding GAAP measures because certain reconciling items such as stock-based compensation and the corresponding provision for income taxes depend on factors such as the stock price at the time of award of future grants and thus cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, reconciliations to the non-GAAP guidance measures is not available without unreasonable effort. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share in conjunction with net loss and net loss per share.

      Note: the Company's IPO transaction closed on April 19, 2017, at which time the Company's convertible preferred stock converted to
       approximately 43.5 million shares and the Company issued an additional 12.1 million shares to investors in that offering.  In
       order to serve as a better comparison for future periods, the Company calculated non-GAAP net loss per share for the fiscal year
       ended January 31, 2018 on a comparative basis, using the shares outstanding as of the end of the period, as if they had been
       outstanding for the whole period.




      The Company calculated non-GAAP net loss per share for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019 and the three months ended January
       31, 2019 and 2018 using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the respective periods.
