Forward guidance

For the third quarter of 2020, the Company currently expects total revenue between $32.9 and $33.0 million, non-GAAP operating loss between ($7) million and ($6) million, and non-GAAP net loss per share of between ($0.14) and ($0.12).

Tailwinds

  • Total revenue between $32.9 and $33.0 million, or overall growth of roughly 25%.
  • Organic growth rate will exceed reported growth rate by a mid to high single digit percentage point range.
  • Non-GAAP operating loss between ($7) million and ($6) million.
  • Non-GAAP net loss per share of between ($0.14) and ($0.12) based on approximately 50.6 million weighted average basic shares of common stock outstanding.
  • Total revenue between $128 to $130.5 million for the full year 2020.

Headwinds

  • The Company’s third quarter and 2020 financial outlook is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change and many of which are outside the Company’s control, including the impact of COVID-19 on our financial performance and customer demand.
  • If actual results vary from these assumptions, the Company’s expectations may change.
  • There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve these results.
  • The Company does not provide guidance for operating loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure to non-GAAP operating loss, or net loss per share, the most directly comparable GAAP measure to non-GAAP net loss per share.
  • The Company similarly cannot provide a reconciliation between its forecasted non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP net loss per share and these comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of reliable estimates for certain items
