NETSCOUT Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Results

Delivers Solid Fiscal Year 2022 Performance on Multiple Objectives

NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC. (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of cybersecurity, service assurance, and business analytics solutions, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

“We exceeded our top and bottom-line objectives for our fourth quarter and delivered a solid performance in fiscal year 2022 on multiple fronts,” stated Anil Singhal, NETSCOUT’s president and chief executive officer. “Our new ‘NETSCOUT without Borders’ strategy helped increase our existing customer business, forge new customer relationships, and advance our cybersecurity agenda. As a result, we grew product and total revenues, enhanced margins, increased EPS, and generated strong free cash flow in fiscal year 2022. On behalf of NETSCOUT, I would like to thank our employees, customers, and other stakeholders who contributed to our success in the period.

“For fiscal year 2023, we remain committed to further extending our revenue growth. At the same time, we also aim to further improve our diluted EPS performance and generate solid free cash flow. We expect several long-term technology trends, including the evolving cybersecurity threat landscape, digital transformation through cloud migration, and the advancement of 5G networks, to produce lasting tailwinds for NETSCOUT. As ‘Guardians of the Connected World,’ we remain well-positioned to help our customers navigate these changes and thrive in today’s dynamic digital landscape.

“Given our prospects, our Board of Directors has authorized the use of an accelerated share repurchase vehicle to repurchase up to $150 million of our common stock. We plan to fund this program using a portion of our cash balance and to initiate this transaction in our first quarter of fiscal year 2023. We anticipate that this transaction will utilize the majority of the remaining capacity on our previously announced 25 million share repurchase program. Accordingly, our Board also has authorized a new share repurchase program allowing for the repurchase of an additional 25 million shares of our common stock with no definitive time frame for execution,” concluded Singhal.

Q4 FY22 Financial Results

Total revenue (GAAP and non-GAAP) for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 was $191.2 million, compared with $213.4 million (GAAP and non-GAAP) in the same quarter one year ago. A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results is included in the financial tables below.

Product revenue (GAAP and non-GAAP) for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 was $82.1 million, which was approximately 43% of total revenue in the period.

As of March 31, 2022, NETSCOUT had a product backlog consisting of unshipped orders of approximately $50 million, which excludes radio frequency propagation modeling orders of approximately $60 million.

Full Year FY22 Financial Results

  • For fiscal year 2022, total revenue (GAAP and non-GAAP) was $855.6 million versus total revenue (GAAP and non-GAAP) of $831.3 million in fiscal year 2021. A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results is included in the financial tables below.
  • Product revenue (GAAP and non-GAAP) in fiscal year 2022 was $410.1 million, compared with $377.7 million in fiscal year 2021.
  • Total service revenue (GAAP and non-GAAP) in fiscal year 2022 was $445.5 million versus $453.6 million in fiscal year 2021.
  • NETSCOUT’s income from operations (GAAP) in fiscal year 2022 was $49.7 million, compared with $37.1 million for fiscal year 2021. The Company’s operating margin (GAAP) in fiscal year 2022 was 5.8% versus 4.5% in fiscal year 2021. In fiscal year 2022, the Company’s non-GAAP EBITDA from operations was $202.4 million, or 23.7% of non-GAAP total revenue, versus $198.2 million, or 23.8% of non-GAAP total revenue, for fiscal year 2021. The Company’s non-GAAP income from operations for fiscal year 2022 was $180.0 million with a non-GAAP operating margin of 21.0%, compared with non-GAAP income from operations of $172.8 million and a non-GAAP operating margin of 20.8% for fiscal year 2021.
  • NETSCOUT’s net income (GAAP) for fiscal year 2022 was $37.0 million, or $0.49 per share (diluted), versus net income of $19.4 million, or $0.26 per share (diluted), in fiscal year 2021. Non-GAAP net income in fiscal year 2022 was $138.4 million, or $1.84 per share (diluted), versus $125.8 million, or $1.70 per share (diluted), in fiscal year 2021.
  • NETSCOUT repurchased approximately 1.3 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $26.79 per share for a total of approximately $35.7 million during fiscal year 2022.

Financial Outlook

The Company’s financial outlook for fiscal year 2023 is as follows:

  • Revenue (GAAP and non-GAAP) is expected to be in the range of $895 million to $925 million. This implies mid-to-high single-digit revenue growth year over year.
  • GAAP net income per share (diluted) is expected to be in the range of $0.63 to $0.69. Non-GAAP net income per share (diluted) is expected to be in the range of $1.97 to $2.03.
  • The Company plans to repay up to $150 million of its outstanding debt balance under its revolving credit facility (Debt Repayment) during its first quarter of fiscal year 2023 using a portion of its cash balance. The full execution of the Debt Repayment by the Company would reduce its outstanding debt balance under its revolving credit facility to $200 million at the time of repayment.
  • This outlook takes into consideration the estimated net impact of the Company’s anticipated $150 million accelerated share repurchase program that it plans to initiate in its first quarter of fiscal year 2023, which will be partially offset by the impact of normal stock compensation dilution. It also includes the Company’s plan to repay up to $150 million of outstanding debt under its revolving credit facility during its first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2023.
  • A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP revenue and net income per share (diluted) for NETSCOUT’s guidance is included in the financial tables below.

New Share Repurchase Authorization

On May 3, 2022, NETSCOUT’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program allowing for the repurchase of 25 million shares of the Company’s common stock with no definitive time for execution. This new authorization is incremental to the Company’s current share repurchase authorization, which allows for the repurchase of 25 million shares of the Company’s common stock in total and has a remaining repurchase capacity of approximately 5.8 million shares as of today.

Accelerated Share Repurchase Agreement

NETSCOUT plans to enter into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement in its first quarter of fiscal year 2023 to repurchase up to $150 million of the Company’s common stock. The Company plans to fund the ASR using a portion of its cash balance. The Company also plans to utilize the majority of the remaining repurchase capacity of 5.8 million shares on its existing 25 million share repurchase plan, as described above, to initiate the ASR in the first quarter of its fiscal year 2023.

Recent Developments and Highlights

  • In late-April 2022, NETSCOUT held its annual Technology and User summit, ENGAGE 2022, in person in Orlando, Florida. At ENGAGE 2022, the Company showcased its cybersecurity and service assurance capabilities, and the conference was a successful combination of presentations, panel discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on trainings.
  • In April 2022, NETSCOUT announced that on April 21, 2022, a jury in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas returned a verdict of non-infringement in favor of NETSCOUT against patent assertion entity Longhorn HD, LLC.
  • In March 2022, NETSCOUT announced the findings from its bi-annual Threat Intelligence Report. The report highlighted that cybercriminals launched approximately 4.4 million Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks in the second half of 2021, bringing the total number of DDoS attacks in 2021 to 9.75 million. While this data on total DDoS attacks represents a 3% decrease from the record number set during the height of the pandemic, it remains 14% above pre-pandemic levels. The report also details the established high-powered botnet armies as well as the rebalancing in scale between volumetric and direct-path (non-spoofed) attacks. Both factors detail how attackers have adopted more sophisticated operating procedures while adding new tactics, techniques, and methods to their arsenals.
  • In February 2022, NETSCOUT announced the availability of its nGeniusEDGE Server. As a comprehensive plug-and-play solution, the nGenius EDGE Server provides customers with the visibility and insights they need to ensure a high-quality end-user experience regardless of where employees work. By bringing together the views and analysis of nGeniusONE® and the synthetic testing of nGeniusPULSE nPoint, the nGeniusEDGE Server provides an easy-to-deploy solution for a faster way to identify and resolve performance issues impacting end-users and warns IT teams of problems to be addressed before these problems can disrupt business.

Conference Call Instructions:

NETSCOUT will host a conference call to discuss its fourth-quarter fiscal year 2022 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, people can listen to the call by dialing (785) 424-1667. The conference call ID is NTCTQ422. A replay of the call will be available after 12:00 p.m. ET on May 5, 2022, for approximately one week. The number for the replay is (800) 688-7036 for U.S./Canada callers and (402) 220-1346 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 revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share (diluted) and non-GAAP earnings before interest and other expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) from operations. Non-GAAP revenue eliminates the GAAP effects of acquisitions by adding back revenue related to deferred revenue revaluation. Non-GAAP gross profit includes the aforementioned revenue adjustments and also 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 business development and integration expense, compensation for post-combination services, legal expenses related to a civil judgment, restructuring charges, and transitional service agreement expenses. Non-GAAP net income includes the foregoing adjustments related to non-GAAP income from operations, and also removes loss on extinguishment of debt and change in fair value of contingent consideration, net of related income tax effects. 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 (revenue, gross profit, operating margin, net income, and diluted net income per share), and may have limitations because they do not reflect all 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.
