Third Quarter 2017 Business Highlights

  • Instructure continued to expand its customer base in the third quarter. A few highlights include:
    • U.S. Higher Education and K-12 Schools – Canvas was selected as the statewide LMS by the Utah Education and Telehealth Network for all public K-12 school districts and charter schools, and by the Wyoming Department of Education for over 100,000 K-12 and higher education students. Within the U.S. higher education market, Canvas was chosen by Tufts University for their 11,000 students. Additionally, the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Colorado Boulder chose Canvas as their LMS for their 25,000 and 29,000 students, respectively.
    • International – Canvas was chosen by the Centro de Integração Empresa-Escola (CIEE) for their 36,000 learners and by the Swinburne University of Technology for their 24,000 students. Additionally, the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, one of the top private universities in Brazil and one of the largest Catholic universities in the world, selected Canvas for their entire e-learning department of 16,000 students. 
    • Corporate – Bridge Learn was selected by Discovery Communications, Clemson University, and Banco BTG Pactual, a global financial company that specializes in Investment Banking, Wealth Management and Asset Management.

Business Outlook

Today, Instructure issued financial guidance for the fourth quarter and full year 2017. 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, and the change in fair value of the warrant liability (see tables below that reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to the related GAAP measures).

For the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2017, Instructure expects revenue of approximately $41.0 million to $41.6 million, a non-GAAP net loss of ($8.8) million to ($8.2) million, and non-GAAP net loss per share of ($0.29) to ($0.27) per common share.

For the full year ending December 31, 2017, Instructure expects revenue of approximately $156.0 million to $156.6 million, up from previously stated guidance of $152.9 million to $154.1 million, non-GAAP net loss of ($35.6) million to ($35.0) million, up from ($36.8) million to ($35.8) million, and non-GAAP net loss per share of ($1.21) to ($1.19) per common share, up from ($1.26) to ($1.23).

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 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, and the change in fair value of the warrant 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains, and statements made during the above referenced conference call will contain, "forward-looking" statements, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the company's financial guidance for the fourth quarter of 2017 and for the full year ending December 31, 2017, the company's growth, customer demand and application adoption, the company's research and development efforts and future application releases, and the company's expectations regarding future revenue, expenses, cash flows and net income or loss. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, but are based on management's expectations as of the date of this press release and assumptions that are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements include the following: risks associated with anticipated growth in Instructure's addressable market; competitive factors, including changes in the competitive environment, pricing changes, sales cycle time and increased competition; Instructure's ability to build and expand its sales efforts; general economic and industry conditions; new application introductions and Instructure's ability to develop and deliver innovative applications and features; Instructure's ability to provide high-quality service and support offerings; risks associated with international operations; and macroeconomic conditions. These and other important risk factors are described more fully in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 2, 2017, and other documents filed with the SEC and could cause actual results to vary from expectations.
