Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Financial Outlook
The Company provides the financial guidance below based on current market conditions and expectations and it is subject to various important cautionary factors described below. Guidance includes the impact from macroeconomic conditions and expected foreign exchange headwinds versus the prior year comparable periods.
Based on information available as of October 30, 2024, guidance for the fourth quarter 2024 is as follows:
Fourth Quarter 2024 Ending December 31, 2024:
Based on information available as of October 30, 2024, the Company is reaffirming guidance for the full-year 2024 as follows:
Full-Year 2024 Ending December 31, 2024:
The Company is assuming constant FX rates for the year based on the rates at the start of the full-year 2024. For reference purposes, the assumed FX rates for our top four currencies in full-year 2024 are as follows:
Currency |
| Planned Rate (as of 1/1/24) |
| Forecast Rate (as of 10/1/24) |
EUR/$ |
| 1.10 |
| 1.11 |
GBP/$ |
| 1.27 |
| 1.34 |
$/CAD |
| 1.32 |
| 1.35 |
$/JPY |
| 141 |
| 143 |
Using the foreign exchange rate assumptions noted above, the Company has incorporated the following FX impacts into 2024 guidance:
| Q4 2024 |
| Full-Year 2024 |
Total Revenues | ~$3.0m positive impact y/y |
| ~$2.0m positive impact y/y |
Total ARR | ~$0.6m positive impact y/y |
| ~$1.2m negative impact y/y |
Subscription ARR | ~$0.2m positive impact y/y |
| ~$1.2m negative impact y/y |
Cloud Subscription ARR | ~$0.1m positive impact y/y |
| ~$1.1m negative impact y/y |
In addition to the above guidance, the Company is also providing fourth quarter 2024 Total ARR for modeling purposes. Total ARR is expected to be in the range of $1.718 billion to $1.772 billion, representing approximately 7.3% year-over-year growth at the midpoint of the range.
In addition to the above guidance, the Company is also providing fourth quarter and full-year 2024 cash paid for interest estimates for modeling purposes. For the fourth quarter 2024, we estimate cash paid for interest to be approximately $32 million. For the full-year 2024, we estimate cash paid for interest to be approximately $144 million, using forward rates based on 1-month SOFR and a credit spread of 225 basis points.
In addition to the above guidance, the Company is also providing a fourth quarter and full-year 2024 weighted-average number of basic and diluted share estimates for modeling purposes. For the fourth quarter 2024, we expect basic weighted-average shares outstanding to be approximately 307 million shares and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding to be approximately 315 million shares. For the full-year 2024, we expect basic weighted-average shares outstanding to be approximately 303 million shares and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding to be approximately 313 million shares.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Operating Income and Adjusted Unlevered Free Cash Flow after-tax guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort, as certain items cannot be reasonably predicted because of their high variability, complexity, and low visibility. In particular, the measures and effects of our stock-based compensation expense specific to our equity compensation awards and employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions are directly impacted by the timing of employee stock transactions and unpredictable fluctuations in our stock price, which we expect to have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Business Metrics
We review several operating and financial metrics, including the following unaudited non-GAAP financial measures and key business metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions:
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use the following non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures stated in accordance with GAAP. 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, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. Starting the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, we adjusted certain of our non-GAAP metrics for employer payroll tax expense related to equity incentive plans, as the amount of employer payroll tax expense is dependent on our stock price and other factors that are beyond our control and does not correlate to the operation of our business. The stock-based compensation related employer tax-related expense for comparative periods were immaterial and are not reflected in the prior period balances.
Non-GAAP Income from Operations and Operating Margin and Non-GAAP Net Income exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense-related charges, including employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions starting Q2 2024, amortization of acquired intangibles, equity compensation related payments, expenses associated with acquisitions, debt refinancing costs, sponsor-related costs and expenses associated with restructuring efforts, and are adjusted for income tax effects. We believe the presentation of operating results that exclude these non-cash or non-recurring items provides useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of our operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods.
Adjusted EBITDA represents GAAP net income (loss) as adjusted for income tax benefit (expense), interest income, interest expense, debt refinancing costs, other income (expense) net, stock-based compensation-related charges, including employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions starting Q2 2024, amortization of intangibles, expenses associated with restructuring efforts, expenses associated with acquisitions, sponsor-related costs and depreciation. We believe adjusted EBITDA is an important metric for understanding our business to assess our relative profitability adjusted for balance sheet debt levels.
Adjusted Unlevered Free Cash Flow (after-tax) represents operating cash flow less purchases of property and equipment and is adjusted for interest payments, equity compensation payments, sponsor-related costs, expenses associated with acquisitions and restructuring costs (including payments for impaired leases). We believe this measure provides useful supplemental information to investors because it is an indicator of our liquidity over the long term needed to maintain and grow our core business operations. We also provide actual and forecast cash interest expense to aid in the calculation of adjusted free cash flow (after-tax).
Key Business Metrics
Annual Recurring Revenue ("ARR") represents the expected annual billing amounts from all active maintenance and subscription agreements. ARR is calculated based on the contract Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) multiplied by 12. MRR is calculated based on the accounting adjusted total contract value divided by the number of months of the agreement based on the start and end dates of each contracted line item.
