MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure Storage (NYSE: PSTG), the data solutions leader that helps innovators build a better world with data, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended January 31, 2019.
"We finished a strong FY19, growing annual revenue 33% year over year, to over $1.3B, and we are excited about our ability to continue to deliver strong growth," said Charles Giancarlo, Chairman and CEO, Pure Storage. "Looking ahead, we expect to drive industry leading growth, expand our product portfolio, and increase our lead in customer delight."
Key Business and Financial Highlights:
- Q4 Revenue; $422 million, up 24% year over year
- Full-year revenue $1.36 billion, up 33% year over year
- Q4 GAAP gross margin 66.5%; non-GAAP gross margin 67.6%
- Full-year GAAP gross margin 66.4%; non-GAAP gross margin 67.6%
- Q4 GAAP operating margin -5.9%; non-GAAP operating margin +7.4%
- Full year GAAP operating margin -12.5%; non-GAAP operating margin +3.7%
While Q4 results were below the company's guided ranges, they were directly impacted by two distinct items. First, a process breakdown at a contract manufacturer prevented a number of orders from shipping in the quarter. Second, Pure exceeded its expectations in selling the company's ES2 subscription offering, which ultimately drives positive long-term economics for Pure, but resulted in lower revenue recognized in the quarter. Except for these two items, our revenue and profits would have been within our guided range.
Recent Company Highlights:
- Following the quarter close, Pure signed a more than $100 million-dollar deal over approximately two years with a leading global systems integrator.
- As part of Pure's Cloud Data Services, the company announced ObjectEngine™, redefining data protection to rapid restoration built for modern enterprises.
- In addition, Pure launched DirectFlash™ Fabric for end-to-end NVMe and NVMe-oF support, enabling customers to improve performance of mission-critical applications and web-scale applications that traditionally have relied on direct attached storage.
"Pure delivered another strong fiscal year of growth, leverage, and scale," said Tim Riitters, CFO, Pure Storage. "The innovative portfolio of platform, software, and cloud products Pure is bringing to market is expanding our opportunity and positioning us for long-term success."

Financial Outlook
Pure Storage's first quarter fiscal 2020 guidance is as follows:
- Revenue in the range of $327 million to $339 million, 30% Y/Y growth at the midpoint
- Non-GAAP gross margin in the range of 65.0% to 68.0%
- Non-GAAP operating margin in the range of -8.5% to -4.5%
Pure Storage's full year fiscal 2020 guidance is as follows:
- Revenue in the range of $1.735 billion to $1.805 billion, 30% Y/Y growth at the midpoint
- Non-GAAP gross margin in the range of 65.0% to 68.0%
- Non-GAAP operating margin in the range of 3.0% to 7.0%
All forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures contained in this section titled "Financial Outlook" exclude stock-based compensation expense, payroll tax expense related to stock-based activities, amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs, amortization of intangible asset acquired from acquisition, any applicable anti-dilutive share count impact of our convertible debt hedge agreements and, as applicable, other special items. We have not reconciled guidance for non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating margin to their most directly comparable GAAP measures because the items that impact these measures are not within our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding our products, business and operations, including our growth prospects and expectations regarding technology differentiation, and our outlook for the first quarter and full year fiscal 2020, and statements regarding our products, business, operations and results. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from the results predicted, and reported results should not be considered as an indication of future performance. The potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from the results predicted include, among others, those risks and uncertainties included under the captions "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in our filings and reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including, which are available on our investor relations website at investor.purestorage.com and on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Additional information will also be set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2019. All information provided in this release and in the attachments is as of February 28, 2019, and we undertake no duty to update this information unless required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, free cash flow, free cash flow as a percentage of revenue, free cash flow without ESPP impact, and free cash flow without ESPP impact as a percentage of revenue.
We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses and expenditures such as stock-based compensation expense, amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs, and amortization of intangible asset acquired from acquisition that may not be indicative of our ongoing core business operating results. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when analyzing historical performance and liquidity and planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP results of operations to the nearest comparable GAAP measures" and "Reconciliation from net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow and free cash flow without ESPP impact," included at the end of this release.
