Dropbox Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2022 Results

Second Quarter Revenue of $572.7 Million, Up 7.9% Year-over-year; on a constant currency basis, Up 8.8% Year-over-year
GAAP Operating Margin of 14.5% and Non-GAAP Operating Margin of 31.9%
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $209.9 Million and Free Cash Flow of $205.9 Million

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - August 4, 2022 - Dropbox, Inc. (NASDAQ: DBX), today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

"Our Q2 results are a testament to the strength of our business and the value our product delivers to our customers, despite the unpredictable macro environment," said Dropbox Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Drew Houston. "We made great progress this quarter, enhancing performance and functionality in our core FSS product, releasing additional security and data protection capabilities, and expanding workflows, like Capture and Replay. We believe we're operating from a position of strength to deliver value to shareholders, thanks to strong profitability and improved customer retention. I'm proud of the team's discipline and execution, and excited for what's ahead as we build one organized place for your cloud content and all the workflows around it."

Second Quarter Fiscal 2022 Results

Total revenue was $572.7 million, an increase of 7.9% from the same period last year. On a constant currency basis, year-over-year growth would have been 8.8%.(1)

Total ARR ended at $2.333 billion, an increase of $43.7 million quarter-over quarter and an increase of 7.7% year-over-year. On a constant currency basis, year-over-year growth would have been 8.3%.(2)

Paying users ended at 17.37 million, as compared to 16.14 million for the same period last year. Average revenue per paying user was $133.34, as compared to $133.15 for the same period last year.

GAAP gross margin was 81.5%, as compared to 79.8% for the same period last year. Non-GAAP gross margin was 83.0%, as compared to 81.2% for the same period last year.

GAAP operating margin was 14.5%, as compared to 15.9% for the same period last year. Non-GAAP operating margin was 31.9%, as compared to 31.9% for the same period last year.

GAAP net income was $62.0 million, as compared to $88.0 million for the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income was $138.1 million, as compared to $160.5 million for the same period last year. The company's GAAP and non-GAAP net income declined year-over year as a result of a significant increase in income tax expense due to the impact of new R&D tax legislation.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $209.9 million, as compared to $219.9 million for the same period last year. Free cash flow was $205.9 million, as compared to $216.0 million for the same period last year.

GAAP diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders was $0.17, as compared to $0.22 for the same period last year. Non-GAAP diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders was $0.38, as compared to $0.40 in the same period last year.(3)

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments ended at $1.446 billion.

(1) We calculate constant currency revenue growth rates by applying the prior period weighted average exchange rates to current period results.

(2) We calculate total annual recurring revenue ("Total ARR") as the number of users who have active paid licenses for access to our platform as of the end of the period, multiplied by their annualized subscription price to our platform. We adjust our exchange rates used to calculate Total ARR on an annual basis, at the beginning of each fiscal year. We calculate constant currency Total ARR growth rates by applying the current period exchange rate to prior period results.

(3) Non-GAAP diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated based upon 365.7 million and 397.0 million diluted weighted-average shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors and others with additional information regarding Dropbox's results, we have disclosed the following non-GAAP financial measures: revenue growth and Total ARR growth excluding foreign exchange effect, which we refer to as on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses (including research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative), non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, free cash flow ("FCF") and non-GAAP diluted net income per share. Dropbox has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this earnings release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP cost of revenue, gross profit, operating expenses, income from operations, and net income differ from GAAP in that they exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, other acquisition-related expenses, which include third-party diligence costs and expenses related to key employee holdback agreements, impairment charges related to real estate assets, expenses related to our reduction in force, net gains on equity investments and the income tax effect of the aforementioned adjustments. FCF differs from GAAP net cash provided by operating activities in that it treats capital expenditures as a reduction to net cash provided by operating activities. Free cash flow margin is calculated as FCF divided by revenue. For periods that we are in a GAAP net income position, the weighted average shares used in the computation are the same as the shares used in our non-GAAP diluted net income per share computation. In order to present revenue on a constant currency basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, Dropbox calculates constant currency revenue growth rates by applying the prior period weighted average exchange rates to current period results. Dropbox calculates constant currency Total ARR growth rates by applying the current period rate to prior period results. Dropbox presents constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations.

Dropbox's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, for short and long-term operating plans, and to evaluate Dropbox's financial performance and the ability to generate cash from operations. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures reflect Dropbox's ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in Dropbox's business, as they exclude expenses that are not reflective of ongoing operating results. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Dropbox's operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies.

We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures, non-GAAP cost of revenue, gross profit, operating expenses, income from operations, net income, and diluted net income per share are meaningful to investors because they help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude.

We believe that FCF is an indicator of our liquidity over the long term, and provides useful information regarding cash provided by operating activities and cash used for investments in property and equipment required to maintain and grow our business. FCF is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. FCF has limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of other GAAP financial measures, such as net cash provided by operating activities. Some of the limitations of FCF are that FCF does not reflect our future contractual commitments, excludes investments made to acquire assets under finance leases, includes capital expenditures, and may be calculated differently by other companies in our industry, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

The use of non-GAAP cost of revenue, gross profit, operating expenses, income from operations, net income, free cash flow, and diluted net income per share measures has certain limitations as they do not reflect all items of income, expense, and cash expenditures, as applicable, that affect Dropbox's operations. Dropbox mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures. Additionally, we have provided supplemental disclosures in our reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow to include expenses related to reduction in workforce and key employee holdback payments related to its acquisitions. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore comparability may be limited. Management encourages investors and others to review Dropbox's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
