First Quarter 2018 Business Highlights

  • Instructure continued to expand its customer base in the first quarter. A few highlights include:
    • U.S. Higher Education and K-12 Schools – Within the U.S. higher education market, Canvas was selected by Mississippi State University for their 18,000 students. With the addition of four schools and almost 45,000 students within the San Diego Community College District, Canvas is used in 113 of the 114 community colleges in California. Additionally, the Chesterfield County Public Schools in Virginia chose Canvas and Gauge for their 60,000 K-12 students and educators.
    • International – Canvas was chosen by the University of Oxford for their entire 44 university colleges and permanent private halls, and their 24,000 students. Under Instructure's preferred supplier agreement with SUNET, the organization responsible for Sweden's University Computer Network, four additional universities selected Canvas. Now, over 100,000 Swedish students will use Canvas as their LMS.
    • Corporate – Bridge was selected by Ancestry.com, the largest for-profit genealogy company, and Superion, a provider of public sector software and services. Additionally, Optiv, a cyber security solutions provider, selected Bridge Learn and Arc for a large extended enterprise use case. Guardian Life, one of the largest mutual life insurance companies, and FranklinCovey, a management consultant firm, chose Practice to easily train their financial representatives and their remotely distributed implementation and sales groups, respectively.

Business Outlook

Today, Instructure issued financial guidance for the second quarter and full year 2018. The financial guidance discussed below is on a non-GAAP basis, except for revenue, and excludes stock-based compensation expense, reversal of payroll tax expense on secondary stock purchase transactions, amortization of acquisition related intangibles, the change in fair value of the warrant liability, and the change in fair value of the contingent earn-out liability (see tables below that reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the related GAAP measures). On January 1, 2018, Instructure adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" using the full retrospective transition method.

For the second quarter ending June 30, 2018, Instructure expects revenue of approximately $49.1 million to $49.7 million, a non-GAAP net loss of ($9.2) million to ($8.6) million, and non-GAAP net loss per common share of ($0.27) to ($0.25).

For the full year ending December 31, 2018, Instructure expects revenue of approximately $204.5 million to $209.5 million, as compared to previously stated guidance of $203.5 million to $209.5 million, non-GAAP net loss of ($32.0) million to ($30.0) million, up from ($32.3) million to ($30.3) million, and non-GAAP net loss per common share of ($0.94) to ($0.88), up from ($1.03) to ($0.97).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release and related conference call, Instructure's non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, non-GAAP free cash flow and 12-month billings 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 below in this press release. Our definitions may differ from the definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar metrics.

Non-GAAP measures exclude stock-based compensation, payroll taxes related to secondary stock purchase transactions or the reversal of such expense due to the retirement of the liability, amortization of acquisition related intangibles, the change in fair value of the warrant liability, and the change in fair value of the contingent earn-out liability. We believe investors may want to exclude the effects of these items in order to compare our financial performance between time periods:

  • Stock-based compensation - Although stock-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation of our employees and executives, management believes it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core business. Unlike cash compensation, the value of equity awards is determined using a complex formula that incorporates factors, such as market volatility and forfeiture rates that are beyond our control.
  • Reversal of estimated accruals related to payroll taxes on secondary stock purchase transactions – Prior to our IPO, operating expenses included employer payroll tax-related items on employee sales of securities to investors. The amount of employer payroll tax-related items on these transactions was dependent on the fair market value of our stock. Beginning in the second quarter of 2016, operating expenses included the reversal of such payroll tax expense due to the reduction of the estimated liability, which will continue to occur in the second quarter of each year.
  • Amortization of acquisition related intangibles - Expense for the amortization of acquisition related intangibles is a non-cash item, and we believe that the exclusion of this expense provides for a useful comparison of our operating results to prior periods.
  • Change in fair value of the warrant liability - Under GAAP, we are required to record mark-to-market adjustments for the change in fair value of the liability for warrants issued in connection with term debt and our credit facility. This expense or gain is excluded from management's assessment of our operating performance because management believes that these non-cash items are not indicative of ongoing operating performance.
  • Change in fair value of the contingent earn-out liability - Under GAAP, we are required to record mark-to-market adjustments for the change in the fair value of the earn-out liability for contingent consideration related to an acquisition. The expense or gain recognized is excluded from management's assessment of our operating performance because management believes that these non-cash items are not indicative of ongoing operating performance.
