Q2-F2017 and Year-to-Date Financial Review
Revenue
Absolute DDS segment revenue in Q2-F2017 was $22.5 million compared to $21.0 million in Q2-F2016, representing a 7% year-over-year increase. For the F2017 year-to-date period, DDS segment revenue was $44.9 million, representing a 6% increase over DDS segment revenues of $42.2 million in the prior year period. DDS segment revenue from recurring licenses was 99% in Q2-F2017 in line with Q2-F2016, and was 99% in the year-to-date period of F2017 compared to 98% in the prior year period.
Total revenue in Q2-F2017 was $22.5 million, representing a 6% increase from total revenue of $21.1 million in Q2-F2016. For the year-to-date period of F2017, total revenue was $44.9 million, which was in-line with $45.1 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year comparison was impacted by the divestiture of the Company’s Endpoint and Service Management segment on October 5, 2015.
Annual Contract Value(1)
The Q2-F2017 closing DDS Commercial ACV Base of $86.2 million increased 8% over the prior year and increased 2% over the Q1-F2017 closing balance.
From a market vertical perspective, the enterprise and healthcare DDS Commercial ACV Base increased by 12% year-over-year and increased by 4% over the Q1-F2017 closing balance. The education and government DDS ACV Base increased by 5% year-over-year and increased by 1% over the Q1-F2017 balance. At December 31, 2016, enterprise and healthcare customers represented 48% of the DDS Commercial ACV Base and education and government customers represented 52%.
For North America, the DDS Commercial ACV Base increased 8% year-over-year and increased 3% over the Q1-F2017 closing balance. Internationally, the DDS ACV Base increased 9% year-over-year and decreased by 3% compared to the Q1-F2017 closing balance. At December 31, 2016, North American customers accounted for 90% of the Company’s DDS Commercial ACV Base and international customers accounted for 10% of the base.
Net ACV Retention(1) from existing DDS commercial customers was 100% in Q2-F2017 and was 101% in the trailing four quarter period, compared to 100% and 100%, respectively, in the prior year periods.
Incremental ACV from New DDS Customers(1) was $2.1 million in Q2-F2017 compared to $0.9 million in Q2-F2016. For the year-to-date period of F2017, incremental ACV from new DDS customers was $3.1 million compared to $1.6 million in the prior year-to-date period. Enterprise and healthcare customers represented 80% of ACV from New DDS Customers in Q2-F2017 and 76% for the year-to-date period
Adjusted Operating Expenses(3)
Adjusted Operating Expenses for Q2-F2017 were $20.7 million, which represented an increase of 8% over $19.1 million in Q2-F2016. For the year-to-date period of F2017, Adjusted Operating Expenses were $41.3 million, an increase of 6% over $38.8 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year increase primarily reflected increased investment in research and development headcount and contractor costs, in line with the Company’s F2017 investment plans. These increases were partially offset by lower marketing program expenditures in the quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA(2) and Net Income
Absolute generated Adjusted EBITDA of $1.7 million, or 8% of revenue, in Q2-F2017 compared to $2.0 million, or 9% of revenue, in Q2-F2016. For the year-to-date period of F2017, Adjusted EBITDA was $3.6 million, or 8% of revenue, compared to $6.3 million, or 15% of revenue, in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA during F2017 was impacted by the increased investment in research and development, as well as the fact that Q1-F2016 included a $1.0 million Adjusted EBITDA contribution from the Absolute Manage and Absolute Service business unit.
The Company recorded a net loss of $1.8 million, or ($0.05) per basic share, in Q2-F2017, compared to net income of $8.7 million, or $0.22 per basic share, in Q2-F2016. For the year-to-date period of F2017, the Company recorded a net loss of $2.6 million compared to net income of $9.8 million in the prior year period. The F2016 results included the impact of a pre-tax gain of $14.1 million on the sale of the Endpoint and Service Management segment.
Billings(4) and Cash from Operating Activities
Absolute DDS and Consumer Billings were $21.0 million in Q2-F2017, representing an 11% increase compared to $19.0 million in Q2-F2016. For the year-to-date period of F2017, DDS and Consumer Billings were $40.7 million, representing an increase of 6% over $38.5 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year change in Billings was influenced by a lower expiring contract opportunity in the first quarter, which was partially offset by a slightly higher expiring contract opportunity in the second quarter, as compared to the prior year periods.
The average prepaid contract term in Q2-F2017 was 33 months, which was lower than the Company’s historical average of 36 months and was impacted by a significant one-year renewable enterprise license agreement with a large healthcare organization.
Cash used in operating activities during Q2-F2017 was $1.2 million and, for the year-to-date period of F2017, cash generated from operating activities was $0.7 million, compared to cash generated from operating activities of $1.4 million and $6.3 million for the comparable prior year periods. In Q2-F2017, cash used in operating activities is net of $0.8 million of reorganization payments, and in the year to date period of F2017, cash from operating activities is net of $3.2 million of income tax payments and $1.6 million in reorganization payments. In Q2-F2016, cash from operating activities was net of $1.3 million of transaction fees, and in the year to date period of F2016, cash from operating activities was net of $2.1 million of income tax payments, $0.7 million in reorganization payments and $1.3 million of transaction fees.
F2017 Corporate Outlook
The Company’s outlook for F2017 is unchanged.
Revenue
The Company expects total F2017 revenue between $92.0 million and $94.6 million, representing 7% to 10% annual DDS segment revenue growth. Revenue is expected to grow at an accelerating rate through the year, driven by new customer acquisition, existing customer expansion and continuing sales productivity improvements.
Adjusted EBITDA
The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA margins ranging from 5% to 8%, reflecting relatively stable spending across most departments and increased investment in research and development.
Investment in research and development will accelerate product innovation, as well as the migration of all product offerings to Absolute’s next-generation service platform. These investments will facilitate greater scalability and operating efficiency, support the rapid deployment of new services across Absolute’s customer base and liberate resources currently required to support two platforms.
Cash from Operations
The Company expects cash from operations, prior to payments for income taxes and reorganization charges, as a percentage of revenue to be between 8% and 12%, reflecting a double-digit year-over-year increase in Billings.
Capital expenditures are expected to be between $3.9 million and $4.4 million, with the spending largely related to upgrades and expansion of the Company’s hosted data centres, office expansion and ongoing hardware refresh cycles.
Quarterly Dividend
On January 20, 2017, Absolute declared a
quarterly dividend of CAD$0.08 per share on the Company’s common shares.
The dividend is payable in cash on February 24, 2017 to shareholders of
record at the close of business on February 3, 2017.

Non-IFRS Measures and Definitions
Throughout this press
release, the Company refers to a number of measures which the Company
believes are meaningful in the assessment of the Company’s performance.
All these metrics are non-standard measures under International
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and are unlikely to be
comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Readers are cautioned that the disclosure of these items is meant to add
to, and not replace, the discussion of financial results or cash flows
from operations as determined in accordance with IFRS. For a discussion
of the purpose of these non-IFRS measures, please refer to the Company’s
December 31, 2016 MD&A on SEDAR at www.SEDAR.com.
These measures, as well as their method of calculation or reconciliation to IFRS measures, are as follows:
1) Commercial ACV Base, Net ACV Retention, and ACV from New Customers
As
the majority of the Company’s customer contracts are sold under
multi-year term licenses, there is a significant lag between the timing
of the Billing and the associated revenue recognition. As a result, the
Company focuses on the aggregate annualized value of its subscriptions
under contract, measured by Annual Contract Value (“ACV”), as an
indicator of its future revenues.
Commercial ACV Base measures the amount of recurring annual revenue Absolute will receive from its commercial customers under contract at a point in time, and therefore is an indicator of the Company’s future revenue streams. Net ACV Retention measures the percentage increase or decrease in the Commercial ACV Base at the end of a period for the customers that comprised the Commercial ACV Base at the beginning of the same period. This metric provides insight into the effectiveness of Absolute’s customer retention and expansion functions. ACV from New Customers measures the addition to the Commercial ACV base from sales to new commercial DDS customers during the quarter.
We believe that increases in the amount of ACV from New Customers, and improvement in the Company’s Net ACV Retention, will grow our Commercial ACV Base and, in turn, our future revenues.
2) Adjusted EBITDA
Management believes that analyzing
operating results exclusive of significant non-cash items or items not
controllable in the period provides a useful measure of the Company’s
performance. The term Adjusted EBITDA refers to earnings before
deducting interest and investment gains (losses), income taxes,
amortization of acquired intangible assets and property and equipment,
foreign exchange gain or loss, share-based compensation, and
restructuring and reorganization charges and post-retirement benefits.
The items excluded in the determination of Adjusted EBITDA are
share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangibles,
amortization of property and equipment, and restructuring and
reorganization charges and certain post-retirement benefits.
3) Adjusted Operating Expenses
A number of significant
non-cash or non-recurring expenses are reported in the Company’s Cost of
Revenue and Operating Expenses. Management believes that analyzing these
expenses exclusive of these non-cash or non-recurring items provides a
useful measure of the cash invested in the operations of its
business. The items excluded in the determination of Adjusted Operating
Expenses are share-based compensation, amortization of acquired
intangible assets, amortization of property and equipment, and
restructuring and reorganization charges and certain post-retirement
benefits. For a description of the reasons these items are adjusted,
please refer to the “Non-IFRS Measures” section of the December 31, 2016
MD&A.
4) Billings
See the “Non-IFRS Measures” section of the
December 31, 2016 MD&A for a detailed discussion of why the Company
believes Cash from Operating Activities is a meaningful performance
metric, and the material impact that Billings has on this measure.
Billings are included in deferred revenue (see Note 7 of the Notes to
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), and result from
invoiced sales of the Company’s products and services.
