Management Commentary

“The second quarter of 2019 demonstrated the continued solid execution of our strategy, as we delivered another quarter of strong, profitable growth and made significant progress integrating Zix and AppRiver,” said David Wagner, Zix’s Chief Executive Officer. “We achieved overall organic revenue growth of 15% and adjusted EBITDA margin of 23%—pushing us right up against ‘the rule of 40,’ and demonstrating that our business is moving in the right direction. We also delivered on our first product integration milestones ahead of schedule, and we are seeing early signs of strong cross-selling with more than 150 trials of ZixEncrypt and ZixArchive in the AppRiver channel and more than a dozen closed Office 365 deals in the Zix channel during the second quarter. Looking ahead, we are beginning to execute on our longer-term product integration objectives and we are focusing on accelerating cross-sales. Over time, this will enable us to drive higher attach rates, Annual Recurring Revenue, and revenue growth, which will further validate the AppRiver acquisition and our strategy to maximize shareholder value.”

Zix’s Chief Financial Officer Dave Rockvam added: “As our results for the quarter demonstrate, we are continuing to build a head of steam, generating significant progress integrating AppRiver, expanding our product suite into the cloud, starting new trials, securing new customers, and retaining and cross-selling our installed base. For the company as a whole, the business performance translated into organic Annual Recurring Revenue growth of 17%. Total revenue of $45.9 million helped us exceed our revenue guidance, and our adjusted EBITDA margin increased 360 basis points sequentially to more than 23%, as we continue to outperform and build a foundation for more robust profitable growth. Overall, these past six months have shown us not only the synergistic elements of Zix’s and AppRiver’s businesses, partners, products, and customers, but also that our team is driven by the vision and opportunity of building the leading cloud-based email security and productivity solutions provider in the marketplace.”

Recent Operational Highlights

  • Extended unified information archiving to assist AppRiver partners and customers with compliance challenges
  • Acquired the assets of email security provider DeliverySlip, expanding the company’s product suite and customer base, delivering cost savings, and creating additional cross-selling opportunities
  • Integrated and launched Office 365 productivity solutions for Zix’s direct sales teams and channel partners
  • Integrated and launched ZixEncrypt and ZixArchive for AppRiver’s 4,500+ MSP partners

Financial Outlook

For the third quarter of 2019, the company forecasts revenue to range between $47.0 million and $47.5 million. The company forecasts fully diluted GAAP earnings (loss) per share to be in a range of ($0.04) and ($0.02) and fully diluted non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share to be between $0.12 and $0.14 for the third quarter of 2019. The financial outlook includes a required GAAP adjustment on the deferred revenue acquired from AppRiver.

Zix is targeting ARR of approximately $204 million to $209 million (previously $202 million to $209 million) at fiscal 2019 year end, representing a growth rate of approximately 13% to 16% (previously 12% to 16%) year-over-year. Zix management is also expecting revenue of approximately $48.0 million to $50 million (previously $47.0 million to $50.0 million) with a 25% adjusted EBITDA margin (previously 24%) in the fourth quarter of 2019.

For the fiscal year of 2019, the company is increasing its previously disclosed revenue guidance to a range of between $170.0 million to $172.0 million (previously $167.0 million to $169.0 million), representing an increase of between 141% and 144% (previously 135% and 140%) compared to fiscal year 2018. The company also updates its fully diluted GAAP earnings (loss) per share guidance to a range of between ($0.24) and ($0.21) [previously ($0.10) and $0.02] and increases its fully diluted non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share guidance to be between a range of $0.44 and $0.46 for fiscal year 2019 (previously $0.40 and $0.42). The financial outlook includes approximately 10 months of AppRiver financial results consolidated into Zix and also includes a required GAAP adjustment on the deferred revenue acquired from AppRiver. Zix is forecasting Q3, Q4 and full year 2019 to result in a GAAP net loss position and will be using an approximate basic share count of 53.3 million for Q3 and 53.5 million for Q4.

ZIX CORPORATION
NOTES TO RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company occasionally utilizes financial measures and terms not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) in order to provide investors with an alternative method for assessing our operating results in a manner that enables investors to more thoroughly evaluate our current performance as compared to past performance. We also believe these Non-GAAP measures provide investors with a more informed baseline for modeling the Company’s future financial performance. Management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to make operational and investment decisions, to evaluate the Company's performance, to forecast and to determine compensation. Further, management utilizes these performance measures for purposes of comparison with its business plan and individual operating budgets and allocation of resources. We believe that our investors should have access to, and that we are obligated to provide, the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. These Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. We have provided definitions below for certain Non-GAAP financial measures, together with an explanation of why management uses these measures and why management believes that these Non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors. In addition, in our earnings release we have provided tables to reconcile the Non-GAAP financial measures utilized to GAAP financial measures.

ADJUSTED NON-GAAP MEASURES

Our Non-GAAP measures adjust GAAP Cost of revenue, Gross profit, Research and development expense, Selling and marketing expense, General and administrative expense, Operating income, Net income, Net Income excluding deferred tax (benefit) expense, Net income per share - diluted, Net income per share - diluted excluding deferred tax (benefit) expense, and EBITDA for non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and strategic consulting and litigation costs to derive Non-GAAP adjusted Cost of revenue, adjusted Gross profit, adjusted Research and development expense, adjusted Selling and marketing expense, adjusted General and administrative expense, adjusted Operating income, adjusted Net income, adjusted Net income per share - diluted and adjusted EBITDA. We provide a reconciliation of these adjusted Non-GAAP measures to GAAP Gross profit, Operating income, Net income, Net income per share - diluted and EBITDA.

Our forward-looking adjusted Non-GAAP earnings per share information consistently excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Additionally, the adjusted Non-GAAP earnings per share will consistently exclude litigation expenses and non-recurring items that impact our ongoing business. See items (A) through (E) below for further information on the current quarter's reconciling items.

Items (A) through (F) on the "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" table are listed to the right of certain categories under "Gross profit," "Operating income," "Net income," "Net income excluding deferred tax (benefit) expense," "Net income per share - diluted," "Net income per share excluding deferred tax (benefit) expense- diluted," and "EBITDA" and correspond to the categories explained in further detail below under (A) through (F).

(A) Non-cash stock-based compensation charges relating to stock option grants, restricted stock, and restricted stock units awarded to and accounted for in accordance with Share-Based Payment accounting guidance. See (1) on previous page for breakdown of stock-based compensation. Because of varying valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and varying award types, the Company believes that the exclusion of stock-based compensation charges provides for more accurate comparisons to our peer companies and for a more accurate comparison of our financial results to previous periods. Additionally, the Company believes it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact of non-cash stock-based compensation charges on our operating results.

(B) Strategic consulting, acquisition integration and litigation costs. See item (2) on previous page. The Company’s management excludes certain board-directed consulting costs and litigation expenses when evaluating its ongoing performance and/or predicting its earnings trends and therefore excludes these charges on our adjusted operating results.

(C) Intangible amortization costs. See item (3) on previous page. The Company’s management excludes amortization expenses associated with the acquisition of intangible assets when evaluating its ongoing performance and/or predicting its earnings trends and therefore excludes these charges on our adjusted operating results.

(D)Corporate separation payment relating to employment termination benefits agreement. See item (4) on previous page. The Company’s management excludes these costs when evaluating its ongoing performance and/or predicting its earnings trends and therefore excludes these charges on our adjusted operating results.

(E) Deferred tax expense represents the non-cash tax expense included in the GAAP tax provision, including the current period utilization of deferred tax assets created in previous periods. The remaining provision for income taxes represents expected cash taxes to be paid.

(F) EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA adds back stock-based compensation charges and litigation expenses.
