Forward guidance
NETSCOUT updated its outlook for the full fiscal year, raising its revenue (GAAP and non-GAAP) mid-point and increasing its diluted net income per share (GAAP and non-GAAP) outlook for fiscal year 2022.
Tailwinds
- GAAP and non-GAAP revenue is expected to be in the range of $850 million to $855 million, compared with the previous range of $835 million to $865 million.
- GAAP net income per share (diluted) is expected to be in the range of $0.40 to $0.43, compared with the previous range of $0.36 to $0.42.
- Non-GAAP net income per share (diluted) is expected to be in the range of $1.75 to $1.78, compared with the previous range of $1.71 to $1.77.
- The update reflects NETSCOUT’s expectation for lower product revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 due to its customers’ acceleration of service provider deals and early booking of product revenue of approximately $25 million to $30 million from the fourth quarter into the third quarter of fiscal year 2022.
- NETSCOUT anticipates that it will exit the fourth quarter with a similar product backlog of unshipped orders to that of the third quarter.
