Financial Outlook:

MuleSoft is providing guidance for its third quarter ending September 30, 2017 as follows:

  • Total revenue between $71 million and $72 million
  • Non-GAAP operating loss between $14 million and $15 million
  • Non-GAAP net loss per share of approximately $0.12
  • Weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 129 million

The company is also updating guidance for the fiscal year 2017 ending December 31, 2017 as follows:

  • Non-GAAP operating loss between $47 million and $49 million
  • Non-GAAP net loss per share between $0.38 and $0.40

All forward-looking non-GAAP measures exclude estimates for stock-based compensation (“SBC”) expenses. We do not provide reconciliations of our forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections with respect to SBC expenses, which is excluded from these non-GAAP measures. SBC expenses are impacted by future hiring and retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of our common stock, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to change. The actual amounts of the excluded SBC expenses will have a significant impact on our GAAP operating loss and GAAP net income (loss) per share. Accordingly, reconciliations of our forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures are not available.
