Tenable Overview September 2018


 
Forward Looking Statements This presentation includes forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this presentation other than statements of historical facts, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “will” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this presentation may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in any forward-looking statements we make. You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will occur. Neither we, nor any other person, are under any duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this presentation to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation. Moreover, except as required by law, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. This presentation also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other data about our industry. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. Neither we nor any other person makes any representation as to the accuracy or completeness of such data or undertakes any obligation to update such data after the date of this presentation. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the markets in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk. By receiving this presentation you acknowledge that you will be solely responsible for your own assessment of the market and our market position and that you will conduct your own analysis and be solely responsible for forming your own view of the potential future performance of our business. This presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures which have certain limitations and should not be considered in isolation, or as alternatives to or substitutes for, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures as defined by us may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies. Our presentation of such measures, which may include adjustments to exclude unusual or non-recurring items, should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these or other unusual or non-recurring items. See the GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation section for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Appendix


 
Non-GAAP reconciliations Calculated Current Billings: We define calculated current billings, a non-GAAP financial measure, as revenue recognized in a period plus the change in current deferred revenue in the corresponding period. We believe that calculated current billings is a key metric to measure our periodic performance. Given that most of our customers pay in advance (including multi-year contracts), but we generally recognize the related revenue ratably over time, we use calculated current billings to measure and monitor our ability to provide our business with the working capital generated by upfront payments from our customers. We believe that calculated current billings, which excludes deferred revenue for periods beyond twelve months in a customer’s contractual term, more closely correlates with annual contract value and that the variability in total billings, depending on the timing of large multi-year contracts and the preference for annual billing versus multi-year upfront billing, may distort growth in one period over another. The following table presents a reconciliation of revenue, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to calculated current billings for each of the periods presented: Calculated Current Billings: 2015 2016 2017 Q1 2017 Q2 2017 Q1 2018 Q2 2018 Revenue $93,466 $124,371 $187,727 $40,481 $44,149 $59,107 $63,592 Deferred revenue (current), end of period 54,721 88,011 154,898 110,605 122,190 160,503 174,277 Deferred revenue (current), beginning of period(1) (33,163) (54,721) (107,006) (107,006) (110,605) (154,898) (160,503) Calculated current billings $115,024 $157,661 $235,619 $44,080 $55,734 $64,712 $77,366 1. In connection with adopting ASC 606, we recorded $19.0 million of current deferred revenue on January 1, 2017 related to perpetual license revenue recognized in prior periods. 34

Referenced from Page 32: 1. We believe our ability to expand sales with customers is most effectively measured by our dollar-based net expansion rate. We utilize dollar-based net expansion rate to measure the long-term value of our customer relationships because it is driven by our ability to retain and expand the revenue generated from our existing customers. We calculate dollar-based net expansion rate as follows: • Denominator: To calculate our dollar-based net expansion rate as of the end of a reporting period, we first establish the ARR from all active subscriptions and maintenance from perpetual licenses as of the last day of the same reporting period in the prior year. This represents recurring payments that we expect to receive in the next 12-month period from the cohort of customers that existed on the last day of the same reporting period in the prior year. • Numerator: We measure the ARR for that same cohort of customers representing all subscriptions and maintenance from perpetual licenses based on customer orders as of the end of the reporting period. We calculate dollar-based net expansion rate by dividing the numerator by the denominator. 35
