IronNet Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Financial Results

Revises Fiscal Year Revenue and ARR Guidance Due to Delayed Strategic Opportunities

Added 49 New Customers Year-Over-Year; Grew Cloud Subscription Revenue 74% Year-Over-Year

IronNet, Inc. (NYSE: IRNT) (“IronNet”), a leading provider of solutions Transforming Cybersecurity Through Collective Defense(SM), announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended October 31, 2021.

“Our prior outlook for both the quarter and fiscal year was supported by what we assessed as late-stage multi-million dollar strategic customer opportunities, the majority of which are in the U.S. public sector. We had previously expected to finalize these opportunities in the second half of the fiscal year, however they remain pending primarily due to government delays in getting funding through to federal budgets. These continue to be viable opportunities in our pipeline. Given the difficulty in predicting when they will close, we have removed them from our ARR guidance. We will disclose any strategic contracts that are accretive to our revised fiscal year ARR outlook,” said GEN (Ret.) Keith Alexander, Chairman and co-CEO of IronNet.

Alexander added: “Our conviction remains strong that the need for IronNet Collective Defense(TM) -- characterized by anonymized, real-time network detection, event correlation and response collaboration across the public and private sectors -- has never been greater. Recent government mandates and senior officials have highlighted how nations, sectors and companies must shift to defending in collaboration with one another. With this capability, IronNet has a strongly differentiated solution. We will continue to advance our strategy in pursuit of market share, encouraged by a number of leading indicators in the business, including our cloud subscription revenue growth, 30% ARR growth over the same point in time last year, and a healthy pipeline of customer opportunities that is simply taking time to convert to active engagements.”

William Welch, co-CEO of IronNet, commented: “We have taken steps to drive improved predictability in our business, including increased emphasis on cloud deployments to expedite time to value for customers. As we continue to aggressively pursue the network detection and response market, our technology continues to distinguish us from other vendors. Recent favorable evaluations by highly discriminating IT teams noted that IronNet detected attack behaviors in customer networks and cloud deployed infrastucture with a level of speed and accuracy unmatched by other vendors. This goes beyond the indicators of compromise that many already share, and is a validation of our unique model.”

Third Quarter Fiscal 2022 Financial & Operating Highlights

  • Revenue: $6.9 million compared to $7.0 million in the same quarter last year
    • Cloud subscription revenue grew to $3.8 million from $2.2 million in the same quarter last year

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, statements regarding IronNet’s anticipated fiscal 2022 revenue and ARR as of the end of its fiscal year, its ability to transform cybersecurity, execute on its business strategy and increase market share, and the expansion of the cybersecurity market and demand for IronNet’s products and services. When used in this press release, the words “estimates,” “projected,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “future,” “propose” and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside IronNet’s management’s control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors, among others, that may affect actual results or outcomes include: IronNet’s ability to execute on its plans to develop and market new products and the timing of these development programs; IronNet’s estimates of the size of the markets for its products; the rate and degree of market acceptance of IronNet’s products; the success of other competing technologies that may become available; IronNet’s ability to identify and integrate acquisitions; the performance of IronNet’s products; potential litigation; and general economic and market conditions impacting demand for IronNet’s products. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the final prospectus filed by IronNet with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) on September 30, 2021, as well as other documents to be filed by IronNet from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward looking statements, and IronNet does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Certain Definitions and Non-GAAP Measures

Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) -- Calculated at a particular measurement date as the annualized value of our then existing customer subscription contracts and the portions of other software and product contracts that are to be recognized over the course of the contracts and that are designed to renew, assuming any contract that expires during the 12 months following the measurement date is renewed on its existing terms.

Dollar-based average contract length: Calculated by multiplying the average total length of our customer contracts, measured in years or fractions thereof, by the respective revenue recognized for the last three months of each reporting period, and then dividing by the revenue attributable to software and product customers for the same three-month period used in the numerator. Because many of our customers have similar buying patterns and the average term of our contracts is more than 12 months, this metric provides a means of assessing the degree of built-in revenue repetition that exists across our customer base. Declines in average contract length are not reflective of the average lifetime of a customer.

Calculated billings: Calculated as total revenue plus the change in deferred revenue in a period. Calculated billings in any particular period aims to reflect amounts invoiced to customers to access our software-based, cybersecurity analytics products, cloud platform and professional services, together with related support services, for our new and existing customers. We typically invoice our customers on multi-year or annual contracts in advance, either annually or monthly.

Non-GAAP operating loss and Non-GAAP net loss: Calculated as GAAP operating loss and GAAP net loss excluding the impact of one-time stock-based compensation expense and transaction costs related to the merger between LGL Systems Acquisition Corp. and IronNet Cybersecurity, Inc.

While we believe that calculated billings may be helpful to investors because it provides insight into the cash that will be generated from sales of our subscriptions, this metric may vary from period-to-period for a number of reasons, and therefore has a number of limitations as a quarter-to-quarter or year-over-year comparative measure. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our metric of calculated billings as tools for comparison. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider calculated billings along with revenue and our other GAAP financial results.

The following table presents a reconciliation of revenue, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, to calculated billings:

(2) Transaction expenses have been recorded within general and administrative expense on the statement of operations

Stock compensation charges for the three month and nine month periods were precipitated by three factors (1) the occurrence of the closing of the Merger which triggered recognition of the time vested portion to that date from the pool of issued RSUs, (2) the de-SPAC type of trigger which satisfied the liquidity event condition on the RSUs that required an accounting revaluation of the vested RSUs at the time of the charge to their value on the date of the closing and (3) the accounting requirement to use a graded recognition method instead of a straight line method where the graded method used brings stock compensation charges forward compared to the straight line method.
