Elastic N.V. Reports Strong Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2019 Financial Results

▤ Summary

“Q4 was an incredible ending to a strong fiscal year,” said Shay Banon, founder and chief executive officer at Elastic. The Company is providing the following guidance: For its first quarter of fiscal 2020 (ending July 31, 2019): See the section titled “Forward-Looking Statements” below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially. Elastic’s executive management team will host a conference call today beginning at 2:00 p.m. PT/ 5:00 p.m. ET/ 11:00 p.m. CEST to discuss the Company’s financial results and business outlook. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements as a result of uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances, including but not limited to risks and uncertainties related to: our ability to continue to deliver and improve our offerings and successfully develop new offerings; customer acceptance and purchase of our existing offerings and new offerings; our ability to maintain and expand our customer base; the market for our products not continuing to develop; competition from other products; the impact of foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations on our results; our business strategy and our plan to build our business; our ability to effectively manage our growth; the pace of change and innovation in the markets in which we participate and the competitive nature of those markets; our international expansion strategy; our service performance and security, including the resources and costs required to prevent, detect and remediate potential security breaches; our operating results and cash flows; our strategy of acquiring complementary businesses and our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and technologies; our relationships with third parties, including partners; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; our ability to develop our brands; our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and key personnel; the impact of expensing stock options and other equity awards; the sufficiency of our capital resources; our proposed acquisition of Endgame, including the potential impact on our operating margin; the impact of the transaction on Elastic’s future product offerings, and general market, political, economic and business conditions. We believe non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin provide our management and investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of operations, as these metrics generally eliminate the effects of certain variables from period to period for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.
