Fourth Quarter and 2016 Revenue Increase 31% Year-over-Year

Industry’s First Critical Event Management Platform Elevates Strategic Value

BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 27, 2017-- Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), a global software company that provides critical communications and enterprise safety applications to help keep people safe and businesses running, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016.

“Continued business momentum contributed to a strong finish in 2016. Revenue and adjusted EBITDA both exceeded the high end of our guidance ranges,” said Jaime Ellertson, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Everbridge. “We are particularly excited about the pace of our multi-product deals with both new and existing customers, which are adding to our growth. Reflecting our continued operational discipline, in addition to strong top-line growth, we also delivered our third quarter in a row of positive adjusted EBITDA.”

Ellertson continued, “Our enthusiasm in 2017 is enhanced by the new capabilities enabled by our recent acquisitions of Crisis Commander and IDV Solutions. The combination of our mass notification technology and IDV’s Visual Command Center enables us to offer the industry’s first Critical Event Management Platform. We believe this platform will expand our value proposition and increase our market opportunity while elevating our strategic position with customers and expanding our usage throughout the enterprise space. As such, we believe we are better positioned than ever to extend our market leadership in an underpenetrated market as our business continues to scale.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP sales and marketing, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP general and administrative, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income/(loss), non-GAAP net income/(loss), non-GAAP net income/(loss) per share, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow.

We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Everbridge's financial condition and results of operations. We use these non-GAAP measures for financial, operational and budgetary decision-making purposes, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, and to generate future operating plans. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information regarding past financial performance and future prospects, and permit us to more thoroughly analyze key financial metrics used to make operational decisions. We believe 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 our financial measures with other software companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

We do 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 expenses and income 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 judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. We urge investors to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which are included in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
