NETSCOUT Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results

NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC. (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of performance management, cybersecurity, and DDoS attack protection solutions, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended December 31, 2023.

Remarks by Anil Singhal, NETSCOUT’s President and Chief Executive Officer:

“We delivered third fiscal quarter revenue ahead of expectations as we benefitted from the timing of calendar year-end customer budget spending. While the market environment remains challenging with constrained customer spending and elongated sales cycles, primarily impacting our service assurance business, our cybersecurity business once again grew year-over-year as enterprise and service provider customers continue to prioritize spending in this area.

“Looking ahead, we expect to deliver full fiscal year 2024 revenue at the low-end of our previously disclosed target range as we continue to navigate the current market environment. From a bottom-line standpoint, our GAAP results for the fiscal year will include a third quarter non-cash goodwill impairment charge. Our non-GAAP EPS performance is expected to be at the higher end of our previously disclosed range due to benefits from our ongoing cost containment actions. Strategically, we remain focused on leveraging our industry leading ‘Visibility Without Borders’ platform to help customers tackle the performance, availability, and security challenges of the increasingly complex connected digital world while delivering shareholder value.”

Q3 FY24 Financial Results

Total revenue (GAAP and non-GAAP) for the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 was $218.1 million, compared with $269.5 million (GAAP and non-GAAP) in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023. A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results is included in the financial tables below.

Financial Outlook

Upon review of its year-to-date performance and the future timing and delivery of orders, NETSCOUT has updated its financial outlook for fiscal year 2024 as follows:

  • Revenue (GAAP and non-GAAP) is now expected to be approximately $840 million, at the low end of the previously disclosed range of $840 million to $860 million.
  • GAAP loss per share is now expected to be in the range of ($1.29) to ($1.24), compared to the previous range of $0.69 to $0.89, primarily due to the non-cash goodwill impairment charge in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Non-GAAP net income per share (diluted) is now expected to be in the range of $2.15 to $2.20, at the higher end of the previously disclosed range of $2.00 to $2.20.
  • NETSCOUT now expects the effective tax rate for fiscal year 2024 to be closer to the lower end of the outlook range of 20% to 22%. It also now expects approximately 72 million to 73 million diluted shares outstanding at the end of fiscal year 2024, which includes the benefit of its recent share repurchase program. This compares with the prior estimated range of 73 million to 74 million diluted shares outstanding.
  • A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP numbers for NETSCOUT’s fiscal year 2024 outlook is included in the financial tables below.

Conference Call Instructions:

NETSCOUT will host a conference call to discuss its third-quarter fiscal year 2024 financial results today at 8:30 a.m. ET. This call will be webcast live through NETSCOUT’s website at https://ir.netscout.com/investors/overview/default.aspx. Alternatively, investors can listen to the call by dialing (203) 518-9708. The conference call ID is NTCTQ324. A replay of the call will be available after 12:00 p.m. ET today, for approximately one week. The number for the replay is (800) 839-2383 for U.S./Canada and (402) 220-7202 for international callers.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information:

To supplement the financial measures presented in NETSCOUT's press release in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), NETSCOUT also reports the following non-GAAP measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted net income per share and non-GAAP earnings before interest and other expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (Non-GAAP EBITDA) from operations. Non-GAAP gross profit removes expenses related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets, share based compensation, and acquisition-related depreciation. Non-GAAP income from operations includes the aforementioned adjustments and also removes gain on the divestiture of a business, legal expenses related to civil judgments, restructuring charges, and goodwill impairment charges. Non-GAAP operating margin includes the foregoing adjustments related to non-GAAP income from operations. Non-GAAP net income includes the foregoing adjustments related to non-GAAP income from operations, and also removes change in fair value of derivative instruments, net of related income tax effects. Non-GAAP diluted net income per share includes the foregoing adjustments related to non-GAAP net income. Non-GAAP EBITDA from operations includes the aforementioned items related to non-GAAP income from operations and also removes non-acquisition related depreciation expense. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included in the attached tables within this press release.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with GAAP, should not be considered an alternative for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP (gross profit, income from operations, operating margin, net income, and diluted net income per share), and may have limitations because they do not reflect all of NETSCOUT’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should only be used to evaluate NETSCOUT’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of non-GAAP information is not meant to be considered superior to, in isolation from, or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. NETSCOUT believes these non-GAAP financial measures will enhance the reader’s overall understanding of NETSCOUT’s current financial performance and NETSCOUT's prospects for the future by providing a higher degree of transparency for certain financial measures and providing a level of disclosure that helps investors understand how the Company plans and measures its own business. NETSCOUT believes that providing these non-GAAP measures affords investors a view of NETSCOUT’s operating results that may be more easily compared to peer companies and also enables investors to consider NETSCOUT’s operating results on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis during and following the integration period of NETSCOUT’s acquisitions. Presenting the GAAP measures on their own, without the supplemental non-GAAP disclosures, might not be indicative of NETSCOUT’s core operating results. Furthermore, NETSCOUT believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding present and future business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations.

NETSCOUT management regularly uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and to make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors that management uses in planning and forecasting.
