“We delivered strong financial results in the third quarter highlighted by 105% year-over-year growth in subscription revenue that, along with total revenue and profitability, exceeded our guidance ranges," said Mike Rosenbaum, chief executive officer, Guidewire Software. "I am very proud of how our team and community have responded to the headwinds caused by COVID-19. During our third quarter, we made significant progress on our Guidewire Cloud Platform release, closed a new InsuranceSuite Cloud deal with Aviva Italia, and added three new Cyence customers."

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2020 Financial Highlights

Leadership Announcements

The Company today announced that chief sales officer Steve Sherry plans to retire next fiscal year and that Frank O’Dowd has been named his successor. Additionally, the Company announced the permanent appointment of Jeff Cooper to the chief financial officer role, after serving in an interim capacity, as well as the promotion of Priscilla Hung to president, chief operating officer.

After nearly 15 years as a sales leader at Guidewire, which was preceded by an extraordinary career in enterprise software, Steve Sherry has decided to retire. “Guidewire is incredibly indebted to Steve for the contribution and leadership he provided during his tenure at Guidewire. He is an incredible sales leader and has built a truly first class sales division here at Guidewire.” said Mr. Rosenbaum. The Company today announced Mr. Sherry’s successor, Frank O’Dowd, who joins Guidewire from Oracle, where he was most recently group vice president and a member of the sales team for over 21 years. “While Steve’s retirement is bittersweet, we are incredibly excited to welcome Frank O’Dowd to the leadership team here at Guidewire,” said Mr. Rosenbaum. Mr. O’Dowd will join Guidewire on June 15, working with Mr. Sherry and the sales team through the end of the fiscal year, before taking over the leadership role. Mr. Sherry will continue with the Company as senior vice president, strategic accounts into the Company’s next fiscal year, to ensure a complete and seamless transition, after which he plans to retire.

After conducting an extensive and thorough search, Guidewire determined that Jeff Cooper was the best individual to lead the finance organization, resulting in the Board of Directors appointing him permanently to the chief financial officer role, after his service in an interim capacity. “Jeff’s command of the very detailed and complex cloud business model transition, combined with the trust he has engendered and the leadership shown during this interim period, clearly demonstrated Jeff is the right chief financial officer for Guidewire,” said Mr. Rosenbaum.

Guidewire also announced that Priscilla Hung, who has been with Guidewire since 2005, including serving as chief operating officer since June 2017, has been promoted to president, chief operating officer. “Priscilla has been a key leader of the organization, embodying the grit, determination, and resilience of our culture. I’m excited to continue to partner with her as we drive the next chapter for Guidewire, Guidewire Cloud and our partner ecosystem,” said Mr. Rosenbaum. “Through most of Guidewire's history, Priscilla has been an essential leader, driving many of our most important initiatives and finding a way to succeed for our customers. The Board and I look forward to her continued leadership in her new role,” said Marcus Ryu, chairman of the board.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Metrics
This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP income tax provision (benefit), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, and free cash flow. Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP income (loss) from operations exclude stock-based compensation and amortization of intangibles. Non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP income tax provision (benefit), and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share also exclude the amortization of debt discount and issuance costs from our convertible notes, changes in fair value of our strategic investments, and the related tax effects of the non-GAAP adjustments. Free cash flow consists of net cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities less cash used for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs. These Non-GAAP measures enable us to analyze our financial performance without the effects of certain non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and changes in fair value of strategic investments.
Annual recurring revenue ("ARR") is used to identify the annualized recurring value of active customer contracts at the end of a reporting period. ARR includes the annualized recurring value of term licenses, subscription agreements, maintenance contracts, and hosting agreements based on customer contracts, which may not be the same as the timing and amount of revenue recognized. All components of the licensing and usage arrangements that are not expected to recur (primarily perpetual licenses and services) are excluded.
Guidewire believes that these non-GAAP financial measures and other metrics provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Guidewire’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures and other metrics to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analysis, for purposes of determining executive and senior management incentive compensation, and for budgeting and planning purposes. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures and other metrics provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other software companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures and other metrics to investors.
Management of the Company does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Guidewire urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which it includes in press releases announcing quarterly financial results, including the financial tables at the end of this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.

Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “should,” “believe,” “hope,” “target,” “project,” “goals,” “estimate,” “potential,” “predict,” “may,” “will,” “might,” “could,” “intend,” variations of these terms or the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond Guidewire’s control.

In particular, the following factors, among others, could cause results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements: quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate more than expected; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our employees and our business and the businesses of our customers, system integrator ("SI") partners, and vendors; seasonal and other variations related to our revenue recognition may cause significant fluctuations in our results of operations and cash flows; our reliance on sales to and renewals from a relatively small number of large customers for a substantial portion of our revenue; our ability to successfully manage any changes to our business model, including the transition of our products to cloud offerings and the costs related to cloud operations; our services revenue produces lower gross margins than our license and maintenance revenue; our products or cloud-based services may experience data security breaches; we face intense competition in our market; assertions by third parties that we violate their intellectual property rights could substantially harm our business; changes in accounting guidance, such as revenue recognition, which have and may cause us to experience greater volatility in our quarterly and annual results; our product development and sales cycles are lengthy and may be affected by factors outside of our control; weakened global economic conditions may adversely affect the P&C insurance industry including the rate of information technology spending; general political or destabilizing events, including war, conflict or acts of terrorism; our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our professional services and SI partners; the risk of losing key employees; changes in foreign exchange rates; and other risks and uncertainties. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The forward-looking statements included in this press release represent Guidewire’s views as of the date of this press release.

(2) Adjustments reflect the impact on the tax benefit (provision) resulting from all non-GAAP adjustments.
(3) Due to the occurrence of a net loss on a GAAP basis, potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of GAAP net income (loss) per share, as they would have an anti-dilutive effect. However, these shares have a dilutive effect on non-GAAP net income (loss) per share and, therefore, are included in the non-GAAP net income (loss) per share calculation.
