BioHiTech Global Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Conference call to be held today, November 19, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time

PR Newswire

CHESTNUT RIDGE, N.Y., Nov. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — BioHiTech Global, Inc. (“BioHiTech” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BHTG), a sustainable technology and services company, today announces financial results for its third quarter 2020 ended September 30, 2020.

Third Quarter Highlights:

  • Announced that Carnival Corp., the world’s largest cruise company, reinitiated its installation program of the BioHiTech’s Revolution Series Digesters aboard its ships in preparation for the eventual resumption of cruising
  • Announced a total of $1.4 million in new food waste digester purchase orders for its Revolution Series Digesters from Carnival Corp. as part of its previously announced purchase contract between the two companies with an estimated value of up to $14 million
  • Received first Altapure AP-4™ disinfectant systems purchase contract from Hazelton Area School District in Pennsylvania to protect its schools against COVID-19 and other viral infections
  • Shipped the first Altapure AP-4™ disinfectant system to the cruise industry where it will be installed on the SeaDream I yacht, a mega-yacht boutique ship
  • Closed an $9.5 million (gross) underwritten public offering, including the underwriter’s over-allotment, with net proceeds of $8.4 million to the Company

Developments Subsequent to the End of the Third Quarter

  • Appointed Anthony Fuller as Chief Executive Officer
  • Received contract to install seven new food waste digesters at various Hackensack Meridian Health healthcare facility locations
  • Made strategic investment in Rensselaer, NY land venture as a material step to establishing a renewable energy campus, including New York state’s first waste conversion facility
  • Announced a total of $1.9 million in new food waste digester purchases, bringing total orders received from Carnival Corp. for the Company’s Revolution Series™ food waste digesters to $3.3 million, including $600,000 in digester orders from Princess Cruises, since Carnival reinitiated the installation of digesters on its ships in July 2020

“While the third quarter fell short of our expectations financially, a number of significant events during the quarter and after September 30 provide reasons to believe better quarters are ahead,” commented BioHiTech’s CEO Anthony Fuller.  “Carnival Corp. has placed $3.3 million worth of food waste digesters orders since July, providing what we believe is an incredible testimony to our technology and ability to solve real-world food waste problems for the travel and hospitality industry.  Additionally, our multi-unit order for food digesters from the Hackensack Meridian Healthcare system provides further validation for our Revolution Series Digesters that convert food waste into a liquid that can be safely discharged through any standard sewer line.

“The Altapure AP-4 disinfectant system saw initial deployments in a school district as well as on a cruise ship, and we are confident it can address future needs across a range of industries, all of which have been affected by COVID-19.  We continue to ascend the learning curve of operating our Martinsburg, W.V. plant using our patented High Efficiency Biological Treatment (“HEBioT”) process. In many ways, are still in the commissioning phase with this plant.  We’ve made notable changes and are pleased with the progress we are seeing.  Our learnings from the Martinsburg facility will prove vital as we progress towards our potential development of a ‘renewable energy campus’ planned for Rensselaer, N.Y.  Quite simply, BioHiTech provides cost-effective technology solutions for sustainable waste management, whether on a large scale like our Martinsburg resource recovery facility or on a smaller scale via our food waste digesters.

“As we look ahead to 2021 and beyond, and as the newly appointed CEO, we are setting course with enhanced corporate initiatives. These initiatives are designed to maximize shareholder value and help investors better measure our progress moving forward.  I’ve laid out five goals on which we are focused heading into 2021:  1) increase revenue appreciably, 2) reduce SG&A meaningfully, 3) improve the plant operations measurably, 4) tell the story clearly, and 5) function as a team effectively.  I look forward to elaborating more on these goals in our earnings conference call later this afternoon and throughout the quarter,” concluded Mr. Fuller.

Financial Highlights for Q3 2020

Revenues: Total revenue in the third quarter of 2020 was $742,877, a decrease of 48% compared to revenue of $1,426,775 in the third quarter of 2019.  Third quarter revenue decreased primarily due to a reconfiguration process conducted at the Martinsburg (W.V.) High Efficiency Biological Treatment (HEBioT) facility during the quarter by the facility’s new management team that temporarily reduced production and caused its revenue to decline by 59% year-over-year to $248,274 prior to a $247,649 negative adjustment in previously estimated take-or-pay contract revenue.  Rental, service, and maintenance revenue declined 13% from $489,555 in the third quarter of 2019 to $423,996 in the third quarter of 2020.  Equipment sales partially offset the declines in the HEBioT and rental, service, and maintenance revenue and rose 370% from $62,565 in the third quarter of 2019 to $293,876 in the third quarter of 2020 due to purchases from Carnival Cruise Lines under their master purchase contract.  Furthermore, management advisory and other fees derived support for Gold Medal, a related entity, decreased from $264,750 in the third quarter of 2019 to $24,380 in the third quarter of 2020 in order for management to devote more focus to the Company’s core services.

Operating Expenses: Total Operating Expenses, including $1,256,477 in cost of goods sold and a $917,420 impairment expense at the Martinsburg waste facility, in the third quarter increased 53% from $3,042,020 in the third quarter of 2019 to $4,660,333 in the third quarter of 2020.  Increased production expenses, the aforementioned impairment expense, stock-based compensation, legal and social media expenses, insurance costs at the HEBioT facility, Directors and Officers insurance, and management transition expenses at the HEBioT facility primarily drove the increased operating expenses from the comparable period in 2019.

Loss from Operations: The loss from operations increased from ($1,615,245) in the third quarter of 2019 to a loss of ($3,917,456) in the third quarter of 2020. 

Net Loss: Net loss per share in the third quarter of 2020 was ($0.16) on 22.0 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared to a net loss of ($0.13) per share on 15.6 million weighted average shares outstanding in third quarter of 2019.

Cash: Unrestricted cash at September 30, 2020 was $4,950,112 following an underwritten public offering completed during the third quarter that netted the Company $8,437,480 in proceeds, including the underwriter’s over-allotment. 

Earnings Conference Call

Synopsys Acquires Precision Optical Measurements Provider LIGHT TEC

Expands Customer Access to Light Scatter Data for Faster, More Cost-Effective Optical Product Development

PR Newswire

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS) today announced it has acquired Light Tec, a global provider of optical scattering measurements and measurement equipment. The combination of Synopsys’ optical design software tools with Light Tec’s solutions expands customer access to precision light scattering data for materials and media used in optical systems.

The terms of the deal, which are not material to Synopsys’ financials, are not being disclosed.

Understanding the way light interacts with surfaces is a key part of successful optical product development. Light scattering data provides designers with real, accurate information to predict how light reflects and transmits in an optical system. It is used to obtain high-precision simulation results for a wide range of applications such as optical sensors, displays, semiconductors, and luminaires. Light scattering data is also important for demonstrating optical product spectral behavior in photorealistic renderings.

This acquisition enables Synopsys to continuously augment the materials and media software libraries provided in their optical software products for faster, physics-based system modeling. Customers are able to save time and decrease product development costs by having instant access to these libraries, rather than characterizing materials or media manually, or paying for a third-party service to perform measurements. Additionally, customers have the option to purchase solutions from Synopsys to measure their own optical samples and import custom data into Synopsys optical software tools.

“Light Tec’s proven optical measurement capabilities provide our customers with robust new tools for high-accuracy optical product simulations and visualizations,” said Dr. Howard Ko, general manager of Synopsys’ Silicon Engineering Group. “The acquisition of Light Tec demonstrates our commitment to helping designers meet demanding optical system requirements, speed product development and save R&D costs.”

About Synopsys
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) is the Silicon to Software™ partner for innovative companies developing the electronic products and software applications we rely on every day. As the world’s 15th largest software company, Synopsys has a long history of being a global leader in electronic design automation (EDA) and semiconductor IP and is also growing its leadership in software security and quality solutions. Whether you’re a system-on-chip (SoC) designer creating advanced semiconductors, or a software developer writing applications that require the highest security and quality, Synopsys has the solutions needed to deliver innovative, high-quality, secure products.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, net sales increased $37.0 million, or 16.3%, to $264.2 million compared to the same period in fiscal 2019, driven by a $29.9 million increase in comparable store sales and a $7.1 million increase in new store sales. Daily average comparable store sales increased 13.2% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to a 1.8% increase in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The daily average comparable store sales increase during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 reflected a 23.7% increase in daily average transaction size, partially offset by an 8.5% decrease in daily average transaction count. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, customers continued the trend of reducing their frequency of shopping trips while increasing their average basket size as a result of social distancing practices. The increase in net sales during the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily driven by continued elevated demand for food at home as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related government mandates, as well as marketing initiatives, promotional campaigns, and increased membership in and usage of the {N}power® customer loyalty program.

Gross profit increased $13.4 million, or 22.8%, to $72.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $59.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Gross profit reflects earnings after both product and occupancy expenses. Gross margin increased to 27.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 26.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily driven by improved product margin as well as a decrease in occupancy and shrink expenses, as a percentage of sales.

Store expenses during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 increased 20.2% compared to the same period in fiscal 2019 to $60.2 million. Store expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 22.8% during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to 22.0% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. This increase was a result of elevated labor-related expenses during the quarter, partially offset by lower marketing and depreciation expenses, all as a percentage of sales.

Administrative expenses increased 22.3% to $7.1 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $5.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2019. Administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 2.7% during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to 2.6% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

Operating income increased 78.7% to $5.0 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the comparable period in fiscal 2019. Operating margin during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 increased to 1.9% compared to 1.2% in the same period in fiscal 2019.

Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $3.7 million, or $0.16 of diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.06 of diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 28.1% to $13.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $10.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.


Operating Results — Fiscal 2020 Compared to Fiscal 2019

During fiscal 2020, net sales increased $133.3 million, or 14.7%, to $1.0 billion compared to fiscal 2019, primarily driven by a $111.0 million increase in comparable store sales and a $22.5 million increase in new store sales, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in sales from one store that closed during the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Daily average comparable store sales increased 12.0% in fiscal 2020 compared to a 3.1% increase in fiscal 2019. The daily average comparable store sales increase during fiscal 2020 reflected a 17.2% increase in average transaction size, partially offset by a 4.5% decrease in daily average transaction count, reflecting consumers’ social distancing practices and demand for food at home amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Also contributing to the increase in net sales in fiscal 2020 were marketing initiatives, promotional campaigns and increased membership in and usage of the {N}power customer loyalty program.

Gross profit during fiscal 2020 increased 18.6% to $283.1 million. Gross profit reflects earnings after both product and occupancy expenses. Gross margin was 27.3% of sales for fiscal 2020 compared to 26.4% of sales for fiscal 2019. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by leverage of occupancy and shrink expenses, both as a percentage of sales, as well as improved product margin.

Store expenses during fiscal 2020 increased $29.3 million, or 14.8%, to $227.1 million. The increase in store expenses during fiscal 2020 was due primarily to increased labor-related expenses. Store expenses as a percentage of sales was 21.9% during fiscal 2020, consistent with fiscal 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 29.1% to $59.6 million in fiscal 2020 compared to $46.1 million in fiscal 2019.

Non-GAAP financial measures

(Unaudited)


EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. We define EBITDA as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization.  We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA as adjusted to exclude the effects of certain income and expense items that management believes make it more difficult to assess the Company’s actual operating performance, including certain items such as impairment charges, store closing costs and non-recurring items.  The adjustments to EBITDA for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 related to impairment of long-lived assets charges.

The following table reconciles net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, dollars in thousands:

EBITDA increased 26.8% to $12.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $10.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019.  EBITDA as a percentage of sales was 4.8% and 4.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. EBITDA increased 28.9% to $58.9 million in the year ended September 30, 2020 compared to $45.7 million in the year ended September 30, 2019.  EBITDA as a percentage of sales was 5.7% and 5.1% for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 28.1% to $13.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $10.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019.  Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales was 5.0% and 4.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  Adjusted EBITDA increased 29.1% to $59.6 million in the year ended September 30, 2020 compared to $46.1 million in the year ended September 30, 2019.  Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales was 5.7% and 5.1% for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Management believes some investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP financial measures.  We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide additional information about: (i) our operating performance, because it assists us in comparing the operating performance of our stores on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization expense as well as items not directly resulting from our core operations such as interest expense and income taxes and (ii) our performance and the effectiveness of our operational strategies.  Additionally, EBITDA is a component of a measure in our financial covenants under our credit facility.

Furthermore, management believes some investors use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in our industry. Management believes some investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparing our ongoing results of operations. By providing these non-GAAP financial measures, together with a reconciliation from net income, we believe we are enhancing analysts’ and investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting analysts and investors in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives.

Our competitors may define EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently, and as a result, our measure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to those of other companies. Items excluded from EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, net income or other financial statement data presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations are:

  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any impact for single lease expense for leases classified as finance leases for the year ending September 30, 2020;
  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any impact for straight-line rent expense for leases classified as capital and financing lease obligations for the year ended September 30, 2019 and prior;
  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
  • EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; and
  • although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

Due to these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental information.

Net revenues remained consistent sequentially and decreased 25% from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. Semiconductor and SiC/LED revenue decreased compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily due to the ongoing uncertainty in the global economy from the COVID-19 virus.

Gross margin decreased in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 both sequentially and compared to the same prior year period. On a sequential basis, gross margin decreased primarily due to product mix and non-recurring expenses. Compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, gross margin decreased primarily due to lower volume and product mix.

Selling, General & Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $0.5 million sequentially due primarily to payroll tax credits the Company was able to claim in fiscal Q3 2020 as part of the COVID-19 legislation passed by U.S. Congress, the CARES Act. SG&A decreased $0.9 million compared to the same prior year period due primarily to exclusion of the Company’s former Automation segment from results and lower travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Operating loss was $1.2 million, compared to operating income of $31,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and $1.7 million of operating income in the same prior year period.

Loss from continuing operations, net of tax, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $2.0 million, or a loss of 14 cent per share. This compares to income from continuing operations of $1.0 million, or 7 cents per share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and loss of $0.1 million, or 1 cent per share, in the preceding quarter.

Outlook

The Company’s outlook reflects the anticipated ongoing impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic as understood today. Given how fluid the situation is both for Amtech as well as that of its customers and supply chain, management would like to remind investors that actual results may differ materially in the weeks and months ahead. Additionally, the semiconductor equipment industries can be cyclical and inherently impacted by changes in market demand. Operating results can be significantly impacted, positively or negatively, by the timing of orders, system shipments, and the financial results of semiconductor manufacturers.

For the first fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020, revenues are expected to be in the range of $16.0 to $18.0 million. Gross margin for the quarter ending December 31, 2020 is expected to be in the mid 30% range, with operating margin slightly negative.

A portion of Amtech’s results are denominated in Renminbis, a Chinese currency. The outlook provided in this press release is based on an assumed exchange rate between the United States Dollar and the Renminbi. Changes in the value of the Renminbi in relation to the United States Dollar could cause actual results to differ from expectations.

Certain information contained in this press release is forward-looking in nature. All statements in this press release, or made by management of Amtech Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Amtech”), other than statements of historical fact, are hereby identified as “forward-looking statements” (as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). The forward-looking statements in this press release relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this press release. Examples of forward-looking statements include statements regarding Amtech’s future financial results, operating results, business strategies, projected costs, products under development, competitive positions, plans and objectives of Amtech and its management for future operations, efforts to improve operational efficiencies and effectiveness and profitably grow our revenue, and enhancements to our technologies and expansion of our product portfolio. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “predict,” “potential,” “project,” “should,” “would,” “could”, “likely,” “future,” “target,” “forecast,” “goal,” “observe,” and “strategy” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology used in this press release or by our management, which are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. The Form 10-K that Amtech filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the year-ended September 30, 2020, listed various important factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and financial condition and could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results and expectations based on forward-looking statements made in this document or elsewhere by Amtech or on its behalf. These factors can be found under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K and investors should refer to them. Because it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors, any such list cannot be considered a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
McAfee Corp. (“McAfee,” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: MCFE), the device-to-cloud cybersecurity company, today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020.

“We delivered strong third quarter results led by Consumer revenue growth of 23 percent year-over-year, expanding profitability, and strong cash flow generation which is a testament to our team’s execution. Through more than 30 years of leadership and innovation we have built a trusted global cybersecurity brand by seamlessly securing a consumer’s digital experience and defending many of the world’s largest organizations from sophisticated attacks and nation-state threats. The cybersecurity landscape has never been more intense and the need for our solutions is as important as ever. We are very excited to embark on this next leg of our journey as a public company,” said Peter Leav, McAfee’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter of 2020 Compared to Prior Year Quarter

Revenue: Total net revenue for the quarter was $728 million, up 10 percent year-over-year. Consumer revenue was $395 million, reflecting 23 percent growth. Enterprise revenue for the quarter was $333 million, with the percentage of revenue from core Enterprise customers remaining above 80 percent of total Enterprise revenue.

Net Income: McAfee reported breakeven net income for the quarter.

Operating Income: Total operating income for the quarter was $128 million, reflecting 142 percent growth. Operating income margins more than doubled to 17.6 percent. Operating income for Consumer was $106 million, reflecting 49 percent growth. Operating income for Enterprise was $22 million, an increase of $40 million from the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA: Total adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $265 million, reflecting 26 percent growth. Adjusted EBITDA margins expanded by 470 basis points to 36.4 percent. Adjusted EBITDA for Consumer was $181 million, reflecting 26 percent growth. Adjusted EBITDA for Enterprise was $84 million, reflecting 27 percent growth. Adjusted EBITDA margin for Enterprise also saw significant year over year improvement, coming in at 25.2 percent compared to 19.4 percent in the comparable period.

Unlevered Free Cash Flow: Net cash provided by operating activities was $464 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2020 compared to $285 million in the nine months ended September 28, 2019. Unlevered Free Cash Flow was $639 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2020 compared to $454 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2019.

Consumer KPIs: The market leading growth in McAfee’s Consumer business is attributable to solid business fundamentals, led by 16 percent year-over-year subscriber growth in Core DTC subscribers. McAfee ended the third quarter with 17.3 million Core DTC subscribers, adding over 2.4 million net new subscribers compared to the third quarter of 2019 and 669,000 net new subscribers during the past quarter alone. Consumer trailing twelve-month dollar retention rate was 100 percent for the third quarter, versus 96 percent in the comparable period last year. This marks the 12th consecutive quarter of positive quarter over quarter and year over year Core DTC subscriber growth.

Specific factors that could cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those disclosed previously in the Company’s other filings with the SEC which include, but are not limited to: the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak; our ability to adapt to rapid technological change, evolving industry standards and changing customer needs, requirements or preferences; our ability to enhance and deploy our cloud-based offerings while continuing to effectively offer our on-premise offerings; our ability to maintain or improve our competitive position; the impact on our business of a network or data security incident or unauthorized access to our network or data or our customers’ data; the effects on our business if we are unable to acquire new customers, if our customers do not renew their arrangements with us, or if we are unable to expand sales to our existing customers or develop new solutions or solution packages that achieve market acceptance; our ability to manage our growth effectively, execute our business plan, maintain high levels of service and customer satisfaction or adequately address competitive challenges; our dependence on our senior management team and other key employees; our ability to enhance and expand our sales and marketing capabilities; our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel to execute our growth plan; the risks associated with interruptions or performance problems of our technology, infrastructure and service providers; our dependence on Amazon Web Services cloud infrastructure services; the impact of data privacy concerns, evolving regulations of cloud computing, cross-border data transfer restrictions and other domestic and foreign laws and regulations; the impact of volatility in quarterly operating results; the risks associated with our revenue recognition policy and other factors may distort our financial results in any given period; the effects on our customer base and business if we are unable to enhance our brand cost-effectively; our ability to comply with anti-corruption, anti-bribery and similar laws; our ability to comply with governmental export and import controls and economic sanctions laws; the potential adverse impact of legal proceedings; the impact of our frequently long and unpredictable sales cycle; our ability to identify suitable acquisition targets or otherwise successfully implement our growth strategy; the impact of a change in our pricing model; our ability to meet service level commitments under our customer contracts; the impact on our business and reputation if we are unable to provide high-quality customer support; our dependence on strategic relationships with third parties; the impact of adverse general and industry-specific economic and market conditions and reductions in IT and identity spending; the ability of our platform, solutions and solution packages to interoperate with our customers’ existing or future IT infrastructures; our dependence on adequate research and development resources and our ability to successfully complete acquisitions; our dependence on the integrity and scalability of our systems and infrastructures; our reliance on software and services from other parties; the impact of real or perceived errors, failures, vulnerabilities or bugs in our solutions; our ability to protect our proprietary rights; the impact on our business if we are subject to infringement claim or a claim that results in a significant damage award; the risks associated with our use of open source software in our solutions, solution packages and subscriptions; our reliance on SaaS vendors to operate certain functions of our business; the risks associated with indemnity provisions in our agreements; the risks associated with liability claims if we breach our contracts; the impact of the failure by our customers to pay us in accordance with the terms of their agreements; our ability to expand the sales of our solutions and solution packages to customers located outside of the United States; the risks associated with exposure to foreign currency fluctuations; the impact of Brexit; the impact of potentially adverse tax consequences associated with our international operations; the impact of changes in tax laws or regulations; the impact of the Tax Act; our ability to maintain our corporate culture; our ability to develop and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting; our management team’s limited experience managing a public company; the risks associated with having operations and employees located in Israel; the risks associated with doing business with governmental entities; and the impact of catastrophic events on our business. Given these factors, as well as other variables that may affect McAfee’s operating results, you should not rely on forward-looking statements, assume that past financial performance will be a reliable indicator of future performance, or use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. The forward-looking statements included in this press release and on the related teleconference call relate only to events as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

APPENDIX A

EXPLANATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES AND OTHER ITEMS

Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define adjusted operating income for the total Company as net income (loss), excluding the impact of amortization of intangible assets, equity-based compensation expense, interest expense and other, net, provision for income tax expense, foreign exchange (gain) loss, net, and other costs that we do not believe are reflective of our ongoing operations. We define adjusted operating income for our Consumer and Enterprise segments as segment operating income (loss), excluding the impact of amortization of intangible assets, equity-based compensation expense and other costs attributable to the segment that we do not believe are reflective of the segment’s ongoing operations. We present this reconciliation of adjusted operating income (loss) to operating income for Consumer and Enterprise segments because operating income (loss) is the primary measure of profitability used to assess segment performance and is therefore the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for our operating segments. Adjusted operating income margin is calculated as adjusted operating income divided by net revenue. We define adjusted EBITDA as adjusted operating income, excluding the impact of depreciation expense and other non-operating costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Margin

We define adjusted net income as net income (loss), excluding the impact of amortization of intangible assets, amortization of debt issuance costs, equity-based compensation expense, other costs, and certain non-recurring tax benefits and expenses that we do not believe to be reflective of our ongoing operations and the tax impact of these adjustments. Adjusted net income margin is calculated as adjusted net income divided by net revenue.

Adjustments for Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income

Below are additional information to the adjustments for adjusted operating income, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net income:

(1)

 

As a result of the Sponsor Acquisition, cash awards were provided to certain employees who held Intel equity awards in lieu of equity in Foundation Technology Worldwide LLC. In addition, as a result of the Skyhigh acquisition, cash awards were provided to certain employees who held Skyhigh equity awards in lieu of equity in Foundation Technology Worldwide LLC and vest over multiple periods based on employee service requirements. As these rollover awards reflect one-time grants to former employees of the Predecessor Business and Skyhigh Networks in connection with these transactions, and the Company does not have a comparable cash-based compensation plan or program in existence, we believe this expense is not reflective of our ongoing results.

(2)

 

Represents both direct and incremental costs in connection with business acquisitions, including acquisition consideration structured as cash retention, third party professional fees, and other integration costs.

(3)

 

Represents both direct and incremental costs associated with our separation from Intel, including standing up our back office and costs to execute strategic restructuring events, including third-party professional fees and services, transition services provided by Intel, severance, and facility restructuring costs.

(4)

 

Represents management fees paid to certain affiliates of our Sponsors and Intel pursuant to the Management Services Agreement. The Management Services Agreement has been terminated subsequent to the IPO and we paid a one-time fee of $22 million to such parties in October 2020.

(5)

 

Represents costs incurred in connection with transformation of the business post-Intel separation. Also includes the cost of workforce restructurings involving both eliminations of positions and relocations to lower cost locations in connection with MAP and other transformational initiatives, strategic initiatives to improve customer retention, activation to pay and cost synergies, inclusive of duplicative run rate costs related to facilities and data center rationalization.

(6)

 

Represents severance to be paid for executive terminations not associated with a strategic restructuring event.

(7)

 

Represents the tax impact of all of the above adjustments, as well as excluding the non-recurring tax benefits and expenses related to changes resulting from tax legislation, the assessment or resolution of tax audits or other significant events.

Unlevered free cash flow

We define unlevered free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities add interest payments less capital expenditures. We consider unlevered free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, and strengthening the balance sheet.
