Forescout Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSCT), the leader in device visibility and control, today announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

“In March, the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic sharply escalated around the world, causing some customers to delay purchasing decisions in order to prioritize employee health and safety and business continuity planning,” said Michael DeCesare, CEO and President of Forescout Technologies. “As organizations have shifted to remote workforces, their network footprint has evolved but the need for visibility and control of all devices on the network remains imperative, regardless of whether devices reside within the confines of corporate offices or in remote, work from home environments. Forescout’s platform is uniquely positioned to help enterprises in today’s perimeter-less world and defend against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. We look forward to completing our pending transaction with Advent International Corporation, which will position us for long-term success as we execute on our large and growing market opportunity.”

First Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue: Total revenue was $57.2 million, a decrease of 24% over the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on large-size deals and new perpetual licenses, as well as customer uncertainty related to our pending transaction with Advent International Corporation (Advent).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Forescout has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Forescout uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes that use of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing Forescout’s financial results with other companies in its industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with Forescout’s condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of Forescout’s historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit. Forescout defines non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit plus stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, and amortization of acquired intangible assets.
