“Our Q1 results were in-line with our guidance, with total revenue increasing 24% year-over-year.

“We continue to be excited about the identity governance market and our best-in-class solutions, but we’ve seen some recent changes in our pipeline that are impacting our expectations for the second quarter and remainder of 2019. We believe we have identified the challenges and are making changes in our go-to-market initiatives. We are confident that we are on a path that sets us up well for the future.”

The tables included in this press release present reconciliations of non-GAAP income from operations to GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss) to GAAP net loss, non-GAAP to GAAP weighted average shares outstanding and adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Financial Outlook:

For the second quarter of 2019, SailPoint expects:

• Revenue in the range of $59.7 million to $61.2 million
• Non-GAAP loss from operations in the range of $(3.5) million to $(3.0) million
• Non-GAAP net loss per basic and diluted common share of $(0.05), based on estimated cash income tax payments of $0.8 million and 89.0 million basic and diluted common shares outstanding. Expectations of non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net (loss) per basic and diluted common share exclude items outlined in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below.

For the full year 2019, SailPoint now expects:

• Revenue in the range of $277.0 million to $281.5 million
• Non-GAAP income from operations in the range of $17.1 million to $18.6 million
• Non-GAAP net income per diluted common share in the range of $0.14 to $0.16, based on estimated cash income tax payments of $2.0 million and 93.0 million diluted common shares outstanding. Expectations of non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP net income per diluted common share exclude items outlined in the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below.

These statements regarding SailPoint’s expectations of its financial outlook are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Refer to “Forward-Looking Statements” below for information on the factors that could cause its actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

All of SailPoint’s forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures exclude estimates for stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangibles. SailPoint has not reconciled its expectations as to non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss) per basic and diluted common shares to their most directly comparable GAAP measure due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections, particularly with respect to stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense is affected by future hiring, turnover, and retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of our common stock, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to change. The actual amount of the excluded stock-based compensation expense will have a significant impact on SailPoint’s GAAP income (loss) from operations and GAAP net income (loss) per basic and diluted common share. Accordingly, reconciliations of our forward-looking non-GAAP income (loss) from operations and non-GAAP net income (loss) per basic and diluted common shares are not available without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

In addition to SailPoint’s financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), SailPoint uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to clarify and enhance SailPoint’s understanding of past performance and future prospects. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s operating performance, financial position or cash flow that includes or excludes amounts that are included or excluded from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. SailPoint monitors the non-GAAP financial measures described below, and SailPoint’s management believes they are helpful to investors because they provide an additional tool to use in evaluating SailPoint’s financial and business trends and operating results. In addition, SailPoint’s management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare SailPoint’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analysis and for budgeting and planning purposes. In particular, SailPoint believes that non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) available to common stockholders per basic share and per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA, are important measures for evaluating SailPoint’s performance because they facilitate comparisons of SailPoint’s core operating results from period to period by removing, where applicable, the impact of SailPoint’s capital structure (net interest income or expense from SailPoint’s outstanding debt, as well as amortization of debt issuance costs, asset base (depreciation and amortization), income taxes, purchase accounting adjustments and stock-based compensation expense.

SailPoint’s non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry because they may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently than we do. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because they are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. SailPoint urges you to review the reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business.

Non-GAAP income from operations. SailPoint believes that the use of non-GAAP income from operations is helpful to our investors to clarify and enhance their understanding of past performance and future prospects. Non-GAAP income from operations is calculated as income (loss) from operations on a GAAP basis excluding (i) stock-based compensation expense and (ii) amortization of acquired intangibles.

Non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) available to common stockholders per basic and diluted share. SailPoint believes that the use of non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) available to common stockholders per basic and diluted share is helpful to our investors to clarify and enhance their understanding of past performance and future prospects. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is calculated as net loss (a) excluding (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) amortization of acquired intangibles, (iii) amortization of debt issuance costs and (iv) income tax expense (benefit) and (b) including cash paid for income taxes. SailPoint defines non-GAAP net income (loss) available to common stockholders per basic and diluted share as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by the non-GAAP weighted average outstanding common shares.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that SailPoint calculates as net loss adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization and depreciation, purchase accounting adjustments, net interest (income) expense and income taxes.

The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest comparable GAAP measures.
