Forward guidance
The Company is sharing the following financial outlook for the full year 2023:
Tailwinds
- Total revenues in the range of $1,205 million to $1,235 million, representing growth of approximately 9.5% to 12.5% (10.5% to 13.5% in constant currency);
- Constant currency ARR growth rate (business performance) of 11.5% to 13.5%;
- Adjusted OI w/SBC margin of approximately 26%;
- Effective tax rate of approximately 20%;
- Cash flow from operations representing a conversion rate from Adjusted EBITDA of approximately 80%;
Headwinds
- The 2023 outlook is forward-looking, subject to significant business, economic, regulatory, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Company and its management, and based upon assumptions with respect to future decisions, which are subject to change.
- Actual results may vary and those variations may be material.
- Our results may not fall within the ranges contained in this outlook.
- The Company is unable to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP without unreasonable efforts because it is not possible to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of certain items and unanticipated events, including stock‑based compensation charges, depreciation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, realignment expenses, and other items, which would be included in GAAP results.
- The impact of such items and unanticipated events could be potentially significant.
