BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 6, 2019-- Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), the global leader in critical event management and enterprise safety software applications to help keep people safe and businesses running, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.

“We delivered a strong start to 2019 with results that were above our guidance ranges for both revenue and profitability, and generating 40% revenue growth,” said Jaime Ellertson, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Everbridge. “In the first quarter we saw continued momentum and expansion with our most strategic product suite – Critical Event Management – as well as significant wins across all our key solutions and geographies. We believe that with our industry-leading solutions to protect people and assets across organizations – from companies to entire countries – we are well-positioned to continue delivering strong growth as we further penetrate this multi-billion dollar market.”

First Quarter 2019 Financial Highlights

  • Total revenue was $42.8 million, an increase of 40% compared to $30.5 million for the first quarter of 2018.
  • GAAP operating loss was $(13.3) million, compared to a GAAP operating loss of $(10.9) million for the first quarter of 2018.
  • Non-GAAP operating loss was $(3.9) million, compared to non-GAAP operating loss of $(3.4) million for the first quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP operating loss/income excludes stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions.
  • GAAP net loss was $(14.1) million, compared to $(12.3) million for the first quarter of 2018. GAAP net loss per share was $(0.44), based on 32.3 million basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, compared to $(0.43) for the first quarter of 2018, based on 28.4 million basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.
  • Non-GAAP net loss was $(4.7) million, compared to $(4.8) million in the first quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP net loss per share was $(0.15), based on 32.3 million basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, compared to $(0.17) for the first quarter of 2018, based on 28.4 million basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

Recent Business Highlights

  • Ended the first quarter with 4,532 global enterprise customers, up from 3,539 at the end of the first quarter of 2018.
  • Launched Crisis Management, a new software application designed to help organizations dynamically manage the lifecycle of a critical event and accelerate response and recovery times. Crisis Management, which is fully integrated with the Everbridge Critical Event Management (CEM) suite, centralizes incident response tasks, activities and resources through a common operating picture and accompanying mobile application. Crisis, business continuity, security and resiliency teams can utilize the solution to create and launch response plans, add tasks on the fly, and collaborate with all stakeholders, no matter their location, to quickly restore operations, mitigate brand and financial impacts, and help ensure employee safety.
  • Announced the integration of IT Alerting with IBM security intelligence technology to enable joint customers to automate communications, collaboration, and orchestration tasks to streamline the overall information security incident response process. The Everbridge IT Alerting integration for the IBM QRadar Security Intelligence Platform helps InfoSec teams to automatically identify the required IT personnel and engage with them in a matter of minutes, wherever they might be.
  • Closed a public offering of 2,645,000 shares of common stock in January at a price to the public of $55.25 per share. All of the shares were offered by Everbridge.

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.
