Business Outlook
Based on information available as of November 1, 2017, HubSpot is issuing guidance for the fourth quarter of 2017 and raising guidance for full year 2017 as indicated below.

Fourth Quarter 2017:

  • Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $101 million to $102 million.
  • Non-GAAP operating income is expected to be in the range of $1.5 million to $2.5 million. This excludes stock-based compensation expense of approximately $12.4 million, amortization of acquired intangible assets of approximately $50 thousand and acquisition related expenses of approximately $819 thousand.
  • Non-GAAP net income per common share is expected to be in the range of $0.06 to $0.08.  This excludes stock-based compensation expense of approximately $12.4 million, amortization of acquired intangible assets of approximately $50 thousand, acquisition related expenses of approximately $819 thousand, non-cash interest expense for the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs of approximately $4.9 million, and the deferred income tax benefit from convertible notes of approximately $2.5 million.  This assumes approximately 39.9 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Full Year 2017:

  • Total revenue is expected to be in the range of $370 million to $371 million, up from our previously guided range of $362.8 million to $364.8 million dollars.
  • Non-GAAP operating income is expected to in be in the range of $5.7 to $6.7 million, up from our previously guided range of breakeven to $2.0 million. This excludes stock-based compensation expense of approximately $46.8 million amortization of acquired intangible assets of approximately $104 thousand, and acquisition related expenses of approximately $1.3 million.
  • Non-GAAP net income per common share is expected to be in the range of $0.19 to $0.21, up from our previously guided range of $0.03 to $0.07.  This excludes stock-based compensation expense of approximately $46.8 million, amortization of acquired intangible assets of approximately $104 thousand, acquisition related expenses of approximately $1.3 million, non-cash interest expense for the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs of approximately $12.4 million, and the deferred income tax benefit from convertible notes and business combination of approximately $11.6 million. This assumes approximately 39.2 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

HubSpot's estimates of stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and acquisition-related expenses in future periods assume, among other things, the occurrence of no additional acquisitions, investments or restructurings, and no further revisions to stock-based compensation and related expenses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this release, HubSpot's non-GAAP operating income (loss), operating margin, subscription margin, expense, expense as a percentage of revenue, net income (loss), and free cash flow are not presented in accordance with GAAP and are not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of results of operations.

Management presents these non-GAAP financial measures because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of performance. Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including analysis of the company's performance against prior periods, the preparation of operating budgets and to determine appropriate levels of operating and capital investments. Management also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the company's financial and operational performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and are not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We intend to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of our future earnings discussions and, therefore, the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide consistency in our financial reporting. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included above in this press release.

These non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition related expenses, non-cash interest expense for the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs, and the deferred income tax benefit from convertible notes. We believe investors may want to exclude the effects of these items in order to compare our financial performance with that of other companies and between time periods:



(a)

Stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. We believe that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense allows for financial results that are more indicative of our operational performance and provide for a useful comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies because stock-based compensation expense varies from period to period and company to company due to such things as differing valuation methodologies and changes in stock price.



(b)

 

 

Expense for the amortization of acquired intangible assets is a non-cash item, and we believe that the exclusion of this amortization expense provides for a useful comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies.

 

(c)

 

 

Acquisition related expenses, such as transaction costs and retention payments, are expenses that are not necessarily reflective of operational performance during a period. We believe that the exclusion of this these expenses provides for a useful comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies.



(d)

In May 2017, the Company issued $400 million of convertible notes due in 2022 with a coupon interest rate of 0.25%. The imputed interest rate of the convertible senior notes was approximately 6.95%. This is a result of the debt discount recorded for the conversion feature that is required to be separately accounted for as equity, and debt issuance costs, which reduce the carrying value of the convertible debt instrument. The debt discount is amortized as interest expense together with the issuance costs of the debt. The expense for the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs is a non-cash item, and we believe the exclusion of this interest expense provides for a useful comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies.



(e)

The deferred income tax benefit from the convertible notes issued in May 2017 is a non-cash item created by the difference in the carrying amount and tax basis of the convertible notes. This taxable temporary difference resulted in the Company recognizing a $9.4 million deferred tax liability which was recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet.  The creation of the deferred tax liability is recognized as a component of equity and represents a source of future taxable income which supports the realization of a portion of the income tax benefit associated with historical net operating losses.  The deferred income tax benefit from the convertible notes is a non-cash item that is unique to the issuance of the Company's convertible notes, and we believe the exclusion of this deferred tax benefit provides for a useful comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies. 

 

The deferred income tax benefit from the business combination entered into in September 2017 is a non-cash item created by the difference in the carrying amount and tax basis of the assets and liabilities acquired.  This taxable temporary difference resulted in the Company recognizing a $2.2 million deferred tax liability which was recorded as an adjustment to goodwill on the consolidated balance sheet.  The creation of the deferred tax liability represents a source of future taxable income which supports the realization of a portion of the income tax benefit associated with historical net operating losses.  The deferred income tax benefit from the business combination is a non-cash item that is unique to the business combination, and we believe the exclusion of this deferred tax benefit provides for a useful comparison of our operating results to prior periods and to our peer companies.
