Pegasystems Announces Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2018

  • Term and cloud ACV grows 31% driving total ACV growth of 20% year over year
  • For the first time in Pega’s history cloud exceeds 50% of new client commitments in the first half
  • In the first half cloud revenue grows 56%

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — August 8, 2018 — Pegasystems Inc. (NASDAQ: PEGA), the software company empowering customer engagement at the world’s leading enterprises, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2018.

“Our unique combination of customer engagement and digital process automation software continues to provide us a competitive advantage,” said Alan Trefler, founder and CEO, Pegasystems. “We’re pleased to see the acceleration in our clients’ move to the cloud and more recurring arrangements, which is a positive long-term trend for our business.”

“As we focused on driving much higher levels of recurring contract value and further penetration into the cloud, we set aggressive goals,” said Ken Stillwell, CFO and Chief Administrative Officer. “I am very pleased to see our movement into recurring and cloud happen even faster than we anticipated. In the first half of 2018, more than 50% of our new client arrangements were cloud arrangements. A natural consequence of increasing ratable cloud arrangements is a reduction in reported revenue growth for the period. At the same time, our 31% year over year growth in term and cloud ACV highlights our underlying business momentum while in this transition.”

Discussion of non-GAAP financial measures

To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”), the Company provides non-GAAP measures, including in this release. Pegasystems’ management utilizes a number of different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of the business, for making operating decisions, and for forecasting and planning for future periods. The Company’s annual financial plan is prepared on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, and both are approved by our board of directors. In addition, and as a consequence of the importance of these measures in managing the business, the Company uses non-GAAP measures and financial performance results in the evaluation process to establish management’s compensation.

The non-GAAP measures exclude the effects of certain business combination accounting entries, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related and restructuring expenses, and certain other adjustments. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures are helpful in understanding its past financial performance and its anticipated future results. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

A reconciliation of the Company’s GAAP to non-GAAP measures is included in the financial schedules at the end of this release.

These risks and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements are described more completely in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as well as other filings we make with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
