Forward guidance

Confluent provided guidance for Q3 2021 with total revenue expected to be $89-$91 million and non-GAAP operating loss between $(62)-$(60) million. For fiscal year 2021, total revenue is projected to be $347-$351 million and non-GAAP operating loss between $(199)-$(195) million.

Tailwinds

  • Total Revenue $89-$91 million
  • Non-GAAP Operating Loss $(62)-$(60) million
  • Total Revenue $347-$351 million
  • Non-GAAP Operating Loss $(199)-$(195) million
  • Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share $(0.24)-$(0.23)

Headwinds

  • A reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP net loss per share 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.
