Second Quarter 2018 Business Highlights
During the second quarter and recently, ForeScout:
- Announced a new integration with Carbon Black, a leader in next-generation endpoint security, to improve endpoint security hygiene and fortify threat defenses across the enterprise. The ForeScout Extended Module for Carbon Black combines ForeScout’s agentless visibility capabilities with Carbon Black’s advanced endpoint protection, offering intelligence from Carbon Black for Indicators of Compromise (IoCs), threat hunting, and ForeScout’s automated remediation and threat response. Together, ForeScout and Carbon Black will maximize threat hunting across managed corporate endpoints and unmanaged BYOD and IoT devices.
- Received independent product certifications for its ForeScout CounterACT under both the Common Criteria and the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) Information Network Approved Products List (DoDIN APL) designation. These certifications assure U.S. government buyers and contractors that ForeScout’s technology meets exacting security and integrity benchmarks necessary for supporting government agencies’ crucial missions. As IoT devices for facility automation, physical security and operations continue to redefine cybersecurity priorities across government, ForeScout’s commitment to performance and acquisition standards confirms the company as an integral partner for military and civilian federal agencies.
- Announced partnerships with Indegy and SecurityMatters to integrate these technologies into ForeScout’s visibility platform and secure operational technology and industrial environments. Through these partnerships, ForeScout now offers deeper visibility into every layer of industrial control system environments, including SCADA systems, programmable logic controllers, and sensors.
Third Quarter and Full Year 2018 Outlook
ForeScout provides guidance based on current market conditions and expectations.
For the third quarter of 2018, ForeScout expects:
- Revenue of $77.0 million - $80.0 million, representing year-over-year growth of 13% at the midpoint
- Non-GAAP operating loss of $4.0 - $3.0 million
- Non-GAAP net loss per share of $0.12 - $0.10 using approximately 41.7 million weighted shares outstanding
For the full year 2018, ForeScout expects:
- Revenue of $277.0 million - $285.0 million, representing year-over-year growth of 25% at the midpoint
- Non-GAAP operating loss of $39.0 - $35.0 million
- Non-GAAP net loss per share of $1.02 - $0.94 using approximately 40.6 million weighted shares outstanding
Guidance for non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP net loss per share excludes stock-based compensation expense. We have not reconciled non-GAAP operating loss guidance to GAAP operating loss, nor have we reconciled non-GAAP net loss per share to GAAP net loss per share, as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, this item. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
ForeScout has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). ForeScout uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes that use of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing ForeScout’s financial results with other companies in its industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with ForeScout’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of ForeScout’s historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.
Non-GAAP Gross Profit. ForeScout defines non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit plus stock-based compensation expense.
Non-GAAP Operating Loss. ForeScout defines non-GAAP operating loss as operating loss excluding stock-based compensation expense.
Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share. ForeScout defines non-GAAP net loss as net loss excluding stock-based compensation expense, and expense associated with changes in warrants issued in connection with preferred shares. ForeScout defines non-GAAP net loss per share as non-GAAP net loss divided by the weighted average shares outstanding.
Free Cash Flow. ForeScout defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. ForeScout defines free cash flow margin as free cash flow as a percentage of total revenue. ForeScout considers free cash flow and free cash flow margin to be profitability and liquidity measures that provide useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that, after the purchases of property and equipment, can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, making strategic acquisitions, and strengthening the balance sheet.
