Delivers Strong Financial Performance and Updates FY’22 Outlook
WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC. (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of cybersecurity, service assurance, and business analytics solutions, today announced financial results for its third quarter fiscal year 2022 ended December 31, 2021.
“We delivered strong performance across the board in the third quarter,” stated Anil Singhal, NETSCOUT’s president and chief executive officer. “Increased enterprise customer demand and the substantial acceleration of service provider customer orders, previously forecasted to occur in our fourth quarter, led to higher sales, margins, and profitability. Compared with the prior year’s third quarter, we grew revenue by more than 14%, while our GAAP and non-GAAP diluted EPS growth rate was more than twice that of our revenue growth rate, further demonstrating the financial strength of our business model.”
Singhal continued, “Customers’ acceleration of service provider deals from our fourth quarter to our third quarter has provided us with even greater visibility into our fiscal year 2022 forecast. As such, we have updated our full-year outlook, raising our revenue mid-point and increasing our EPS target ranges. These updates are based on our year-to-date performance and expectations for mid-single-digit product revenue and EPS growth in our 2022 fiscal year, despite our projections for lower product revenue in the fourth quarter due to the previously mentioned acceleration of service provider deals by customers to our third quarter. Looking ahead, we remain confident in our full-year outlook and future growth prospects as we continue to help our customers succeed in the new digital economy.”

Outlook
Upon review of its year-to-date performance and the future timing and delivery of orders, NETSCOUT has updated its outlook for the full fiscal year, raising its revenue (GAAP and non-GAAP) mid-point and increasing its diluted net income per share (GAAP and non-GAAP) outlook for fiscal year 2022. This update reflects NETSCOUT’s expectation for lower product revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 due to its customers’ acceleration of service provider deals and early booking of product revenue of approximately $25 million to $30 million from the fourth quarter into the third quarter of fiscal year 2022. NETSCOUT’s outlook update for the full fiscal year also reflects the Company’s expectation that it will end the fourth quarter with a product backlog of unshipped orders similar to that of the third quarter. The current outlook is as follows:
- GAAP and non-GAAP revenue is expected to be in the range of $850 million to $855 million, compared with the previous range of $835 million to $865 million.
- GAAP net income per share (diluted) is expected to be in the range of $0.40 to $0.43, compared with the previous range of $0.36 to $0.42. Non-GAAP net income per share (diluted) is expected to be in the range of $1.75 to $1.78, compared with the previous range of $1.71 to $1.77.
- A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP revenue and net income per share (diluted) for NETSCOUT’s guidance is included in the financial tables below.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information:
To supplement the financial measures presented in NETSCOUT's press release in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), NETSCOUT also reports the following non-GAAP measures: non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share (diluted) and non-GAAP earnings before interest and other expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) from operations. Non-GAAP revenue eliminates the GAAP effects of acquisitions by adding back revenue related to deferred revenue revaluation. Non-GAAP gross profit includes the aforementioned revenue adjustments and also removes expenses related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets, share based compensation, and acquisition-related depreciation. Non-GAAP income from operations includes the aforementioned adjustments and also removes business development and integration expense, compensation for post-combination services, legal expenses related to a civil judgment, restructuring charges, and transitional service agreement expenses. Non-GAAP net income includes the foregoing adjustments related to non-GAAP income from operations, and also removes loss on extinguishment of debt and change in fair value of contingent consideration, net of related income tax effects. Non-GAAP EBITDA from operations includes the aforementioned items related to non-GAAP income from operations and also removes non-acquisition related depreciation expense. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included in the attached tables within this press release.
These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with GAAP, should not be considered an alternative for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP (revenue, gross profit, operating margin, net income, and diluted net income per share), and may have limitations because they do not reflect all NETSCOUT’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should only be used to evaluate NETSCOUT’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of non-GAAP information is not meant to be considered superior to, in isolation from, or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. NETSCOUT believes these non-GAAP financial measures will enhance the reader’s overall understanding of NETSCOUT’s current financial performance and NETSCOUT's prospects for the future by providing a higher degree of transparency for certain financial measures and providing a level of disclosure that helps investors understand how the Company plans and measures its own business. NETSCOUT believes that providing these non-GAAP measures affords investors a view of NETSCOUT’s operating results that may be more easily compared to peer companies and also enables investors to consider NETSCOUT’s operating results on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis during and following the integration period of NETSCOUT’s acquisitions. Presenting the GAAP measures on their own, without the supplemental non-GAAP disclosures, might not be indicative of NETSCOUT’s core operating results. Furthermore, NETSCOUT believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding present and future business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations.
NETSCOUT management regularly uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and to make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors that management uses in planning and forecasting.
