2021 Financial Outlook
Rackspace Technology is establishing guidance for full year
2021, as follows:
|
FY 2021 Guidance |
2020 Actual |
Implied 2021 Growth at Midpoint |
Revenue |
$2.9-$3.1 billion |
$2.7 billion |
11 |
% |
Core Revenue |
$2.7-$2.9 billion |
$2.5 billion |
13 |
% |
Non-GAAP Operating Profit |
$500-$530 million |
$473 million |
9 |
% |
Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share |
$0.95-$1.05 |
$0.83 |
20 |
% |
Rackspace Technology is also providing additional outlook items
for full year 2021 as follows:
Non-GAAP Other Income
(Expense)1 |
($226)-($233) million |
Non-GAAP Tax Expense Rate |
26% |
Non-GAAP Weighted Average Shares |
210-214 million |
1 Non-GAAP Other Income (Expense) is only expected to include
interest expense.
Definitions of non-GAAP financial measures and the
reconciliations to the most directly comparable measures in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (“GAAP”) are provided in subsequent sections of this
press release narrative and supplemental schedules. Rackspace
Technology has not reconciled Non-GAAP Operating Profit, Non-GAAP
Earnings Per Share, Non-GAAP Other Income (Expense) or Non-GAAP Tax
Expense Rate guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure
because it does not provide guidance on GAAP net income (loss) or
the reconciling items between these Non-GAAP measures and GAAP net
income (loss) as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the
potential variability of, certain of these items, such as
share-based compensation expense. Accordingly, a reconciliation of
the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP
measure is not available without unreasonable effort. With respect
to Non-GAAP Operating Profit, Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share, Non-GAAP
Other Income (Expense) and Non-GAAP Tax Expense Rate guidance,
adjustments in future periods are generally expected to be similar
to the kinds of charges and costs excluded from these Non-GAAP
measures in prior periods, but the impact of such adjustments could
be significant.

18, 2021, at 4:00pm CT / 5:00pm ET to discuss its fourth quarter

Forward-looking Statements
Rackspace Technology has made statements in this press release
and other reports, filings, and other public written and verbal
announcements that are forward-looking and therefore subject to
risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of
historical fact, included in this document are, or could be,
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are made in reliance
on the safe harbor protections provided thereunder. These
forward-looking statements relate to anticipated financial
performance, management’s plans and objectives for future
operations, business prospects, outcome of regulatory proceedings,
market conditions, our ability to successfully respond to the
challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and other matters. Any
forward-looking statement made in this presentation speaks only as
of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as
a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
Forward-looking statements can be identified by various words such
as “expects,” “intends,” “will,” “anticipates,” “believes,”
“confident,” “continue,” “propose,” “seeks,” “could,” “may,”
“should,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “might,” “goals,” “objectives,”
“targets,” “planned,” “projects,” and similar expressions. These
forward-looking statements are based on management’s current
beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to
management. Rackspace Technology cautions that these statements are
subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of
our control, and could cause future events or results to be
materially different from those stated or implied in this document,
including among others, risk factors that are described in
Rackspace Technology, Inc.’s Registration Statement on Form S-1
(File No. 333-239794), Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the
sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”
contained therein.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes several non-GAAP financial measures
such as constant currency revenue, Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP
Net Income (Loss), Non-GAAP Operating Profit, Adjusted EBITDA and
Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share (“EPS”). These non-GAAP financial
measures exclude the impact of certain costs, losses and gains that
are required to be included in our profit and loss measures under
GAAP. Although we believe these measures are useful to investors
and analysts for the same reasons they are useful to management, as
described in the accompanying pages, these measures are not a
substitute for, or superior to, GAAP financial measures or
disclosures. Other companies may calculate similarly-titled
non-GAAP measures differently, limiting their usefulness as
comparative measures. We have reconciled each of these non-GAAP
measures to the applicable most comparable GAAP measure in the
accompanying pages.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Constant Currency Revenue
We use constant currency revenue as an additional metric for
understanding and assessing our growth excluding the effect of
foreign currency rate fluctuations on our international business
operations. Constant currency information compares results between
periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period over
period and is calculated by translating the non-U.S. dollar income
statement balances for the most current period to U.S. dollars
using the average exchange rate from the comparative period rather
than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective
period. We also believe this is an important metric to help
investors evaluate our performance in comparison to prior
periods.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit
Our principal measure of segment profitability is segment
non-GAAP gross profit. We also present Non-GAAP Gross Profit, which
is the aggregate of segment non-GAAP gross profit, because we
believe the measure is useful in analyzing trends in our
underlying, recurring gross margins. We define Non-GAAP Gross
Profit as our consolidated gross profit, adjusted to exclude the
impact of share-based compensation expense and other non-recurring
or unusual compensation items, purchase accounting-related effects,
and certain business transformation-related costs. For a
reconciliation of our Non-GAAP Gross Profit to our total
consolidated gross profit, see “Non-GAAP Gross Profit by Segment”
above.
Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss), Non-GAAP Operating Profit
and Adjusted EBITDA
We present Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss), Non-GAAP Operating Profit
and Adjusted EBITDA because they are a basis upon which management
assesses our performance and we believe they are useful to
evaluating our financial performance. We believe that excluding
items from net income that may not be indicative of, or are
unrelated to, our core operating results, and that may vary in
frequency or magnitude, enhances the comparability of our results
and provides a better baseline for analyzing trends in our
business.
We define Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss)
adjusted to exclude the impact of non-cash charges for share-based
compensation and cash charges related to the settlement of
share-based awards in connection with the November 2016 merger,
transaction-related costs and adjustments, restructuring and
transformation charges, management fees, the amortization of
acquired intangible assets and certain other non-operating,
non-recurring or non-core gains and losses, as well as the tax
effects of these non-GAAP adjustments.
We define Non-GAAP Operating Profit as net income (loss), plus
interest expense and income taxes, further adjusted to exclude the
impact of non-cash charges for share-based compensation and cash
charges related to the settlement of share-based awards in
connection with the November 2016 merger, transaction-related costs
and adjustments, restructuring and transformation charges,
management fees, the amortization of acquired intangible assets and
certain other non-operating, non-recurring or non-core gains and
losses.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as Non-GAAP Operating Profit plus
depreciation and amortization.
Non-GAAP Operating Profit and Adjusted EBITDA are management’s
principal metrics for measuring our underlying financial
performance. Adjusted EBITDA, along with other quantitative and
qualitative information, is also the principal financial measure
used by management and our board of directors in determining
performance-based compensation for our management and key
employees.
These non-GAAP measures are not intended to imply that we would
have generated higher income or avoided net losses if the November
2016 merger and the subsequent transactions and initiatives had not
occurred. In the future we may incur expenses or charges such as
those added back to calculate Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss), Non-GAAP
Operating Profit or Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Non-GAAP
Net Income (Loss), Non-GAAP Operating Profit and Adjusted EBITDA
should not be construed as an inference that our future results
will be unaffected by these items. Other companies, including our
peer companies, may calculate similarly-titled measures in a
different manner from us, and therefore, our non-GAAP measures may
not be comparable to similarly-tiled measures of other companies.
Investors are cautioned against using these measures to the
exclusion of our results in accordance with GAAP.

(a) |
Includes expense related to the
cash settlement of unvested equity awards that were outstanding at
the consummation of the November 2016 merger (amounting to $3
million for the year ended December 31, 2019 and zero for all other
periods presented), retention bonuses, mainly relating to
restructuring and integration projects, and, beginning in 2019,
senior executive signing bonuses and relocation costs. The three
months and year ended December 31, 2020 also includes $13 million
for one-time cash bonuses related to successful completion of the
IPO. |
(b) |
Includes legal, professional,
accounting and other advisory fees related to the acquisition of
Onica in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the IPO in the third
quarter of 2020, integration costs of acquired businesses, purchase
accounting adjustments (including deferred revenue fair value
discount), payroll costs for employees that dedicate significant
time to supporting these projects and exploratory acquisition and
divestiture costs and expenses related to financing
activities. |
(c) |
Includes consulting and advisory
fees related to business transformation and optimization
activities, payroll costs for employees that dedicate significant
time to these projects, as well as associated severance, facility
closure costs and lease termination expenses. We assessed these
activities and determined that they did not qualify under the scope
of ASC 420 (Exit or Disposal costs). |
(d) |
Represents historical management
fees pursuant to management consulting agreements. The management
consulting agreements were terminated effective August 4, 2020, and
therefore no management fees have accrued or will be payable for
periods after August 4, 2020. |
(e) |
Includes gains and losses on
investment and from dispositions, including our investment in
CrowdStrike realized in 2019. |
(f) |
Includes gains and losses on our
repurchases of 8.625% Senior Notes. |
(g) |
Reflects mainly changes in the
fair value of foreign currency derivatives. |
(h) |
All of our intangible assets are
attributable to acquisitions, including the November 2016
merger. |
(i) |
We utilize an estimated
structural long-term non-GAAP tax rate in order to provide
consistency across reporting periods, removing the effect of
non-recurring tax adjustments, which include but are not limited to
tax rate changes, U.S. tax reform, share-based compensation, audit
conclusions and changes to valuation allowances. For 2019 and 2020,
we used a structural non-GAAP tax rate of 26%, which reflects the
removal of the tax effect of non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments and
non-recurring tax adjustments on a year-over-year basis. The
non-GAAP tax rate could be subject to change for a variety of
reasons, including the rapidly evolving global tax environment,
significant changes in our geographic earnings mix including due to
acquisition activity, or other changes to our strategy or business
operations. We will re-evaluate our long-term non-GAAP tax rate as
appropriate. We believe that making these adjustments facilitates a
better evaluation of our current operating performance and
comparisons to prior periods. |
Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share (EPS)
We define Non-GAAP EPS as Non-GAAP Net Income divided by our
GAAP average number of shares outstanding for the period on a
diluted basis, after giving effect to the twelve-for-one stock
split that was approved and effected on July 20, 2020 (the “Stock
Split”), and further adjusted for the average number of shares
associated with securities which are anti-dilutive to GAAP earnings
per share but dilutive to Non-GAAP EPS. Management uses Non-GAAP
EPS to evaluate the performance of our business on a comparable
basis from period to period, including by adjusting for the impact
of the issuance of shares that would be dilutive to Non-GAAP
EPS.

(a) |
Reflects impact of awards that
would have been anti-dilutive to Net loss per share, and therefore
not included in the calculation, but would be dilutive to Non-GAAP
EPS and are therefore included in the share count for purposes of
this non-GAAP measure. Potential common share equivalents consist
of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, vesting of
restricted stock or purchase under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(the “ESPP”), as well as contingent shares associated with our
acquisition of Datapipe Parent, Inc. Certain of our potential
common share equivalents are contingent on Apollo achieving
pre-established performance targets based on a multiple of their
invested capital ("MOIC"), which are included in the denominator
for the entire period if such shares would be issuable as of the
end of the reporting period assuming the end of the reporting
period was the end of the contingency period. |
(b) |
Reflects the aggregate
adjustments made to reconcile Non-GAAP Net Income to our net loss,
as noted in the above table, divided by the GAAP diluted number of
shares outstanding for the relevant period. |
