Guidewire (NYSE:GWRE) today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2024.

"We continue to see great momentum as P&C insurers look to Guidewire to deliver the platform they trust to innovate and grow efficiently," said Mike Rosenbaum, chief executive officer, Guidewire. "Our momentum was on display at our annual industry conference, Connections, where we heard some of the largest insurers in the world share the success they are seeing with Guidewire Cloud Platform."

"We achieved or exceeded the high end of our guidance ranges for ARR, revenue, and profitability, driven by nine Q1 cloud deals, including five at Tier-1 insurers," said Jeff Cooper, chief financial officer, Guidewire. "This strong start to fiscal year 2025, which combined better-than-expected subscription and support gross margin and disciplined operational execution, positions us well for our full-year targets."

First Quarter Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Highlights

Revenue

  • Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 was $262.9 million, an increase of 27% from the same quarter in fiscal year 2024. Subscription and support revenue was $169.7 million, an increase of 33%; license revenue was $37.4 million, an increase of 10%; and services revenue was $55.8 million, an increase of 22%, each as compared to the same quarter in fiscal year 2024.
  • As of October 31, 2024, annual recurring revenue, or ARR, was $874.0 million, compared to $864.0 million as of July 31, 2024. ARR results for interim quarterly periods in fiscal year 2025 are based on actual currency rates at the end of fiscal year 2024, held constant throughout the year.

Profitability

  • GAAP loss from operations was $4.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, compared with $33.8 million for the same quarter in fiscal year 2024.
  • Non-GAAP income from operations was $34.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, compared with $4.1 million for the same quarter in fiscal year 2024.
  • GAAP net income was $9.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, compared with GAAP net loss of $27.1 million for the same quarter in fiscal year 2024. GAAP net income per share was $0.11, based on diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 86.0 million, compared to GAAP net loss per share of $0.33 for the same quarter in fiscal year 2024, based on diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 81.7 million.
  • Non-GAAP net income was $36.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, compared with non-GAAP net loss of $0.3 million for the same quarter in fiscal year 2024. Non-GAAP net income per share was $0.43, based on diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 86.0 million, compared to non-GAAP net loss per share of $0.00 for the same quarter in fiscal year 2024, based on diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 81.7 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  • Guidewire had $1,480.4 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments at October 31, 2024, compared to $1,129.5 million at July 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to net proceeds of $413.6 million related to the new issuance of convertible notes after the purchase of capped calls and the retirement of a portion of the convertible notes due in March 2025. On December 2, 2024, subsequent to its quarter end, Guidewire entered into a $300.0 million revolving line of credit under which no amounts have been drawn as of December 5, 2024.

Business Outlook

Guidewire is issuing the following outlook for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 based on current expectations:

  • Ending ARR between $909 million and $914 million
  • Total revenue between $282 million and $288 million
  • Operating income (loss) between $(1) million and $5 million
  • Non-GAAP operating income between $39 million and $45 million

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Metrics

This press release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP tax provision (benefit), non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, and free cash flow. Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP income (loss) from operations exclude stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles, and acquisition consideration holdback. Non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP tax provision (benefit) also exclude the amortization of debt issuance costs from our convertible senior notes, changes in fair value of strategic investments, retirement of debt, and related tax effects of the non-GAAP adjustments. Additionally, non-GAAP net income (loss) per share includes shares from the conversion premium related to our convertible debt and excludes the tax-effected interest expense on convertible debt using the if-converted method, as appropriate. Free cash flow consists of net cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities less cash used for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs. These non-GAAP measures enable us to analyze our financial performance without the effects of certain non-cash items such as amortization and stock-based compensation.

Annual recurring revenue ("ARR") is used to quantify the annualized recurring value outlined in active customer contracts at the end of a reporting period. ARR includes the annualized recurring value of term licenses, subscription agreements, support contracts, and hosting agreements based on customer contractual terms and invoicing activities for the current reporting period, which may not be the same as the timing and amount of revenue recognized. ARR reflects all fee changes due to contract renewals, non-renewals, expansion, cancellations, attrition, or renegotiations at a higher or lower fee arrangement that are effective as of the ARR reporting date. All components of the licensing and other arrangements that are not expected to recur (primarily perpetual licenses and professional services) are excluded from our ARR calculations. In some arrangements with multiple performance obligations, a portion of recurring license and support or subscription contract value is allocated to services revenue for revenue recognition purposes, but does not get allocated for purposes of calculating ARR. This revenue allocation generally only impacts the initial term of the contract. This means that if we increase arrangements with multiple performance obligations that include services at discounted rates, more of the total contract value would be recognized as services revenue, but our reported ARR amount would not be impacted. During the three months ended October 31, 2024, the recurring license and support or subscription contract value recognized as services revenue was $2.1 million.

Guidewire believes that these non-GAAP financial measures and other metrics provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Guidewire's financial condition and results of operations. Guidewire's management uses these non-GAAP measures and other metrics to compare the Company's performance to that of prior periods for trend analysis, for purposes of determining executive and senior management incentive compensation, and for budgeting and planning purposes. Guidewire believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures and other metrics provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing Guidewire's financial measures with other software companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures and other metrics to investors.

Guidewire's management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Guidewire's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Guidewire urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which it includes in press releases announcing quarterly financial results, including the financial tables at the end of this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Guidewire's business.
