REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--()--Talend (NASDAQ:TLND), a global leader in cloud and big data integration software, today released financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

“Our record revenue in the third quarter of 2016 of $27.4 million underscores the demand for our next-generation integration solutions,” said Mike Tuchen, Talend CEO. “We had several notable achievements in the quarter. Our total revenue growth continued to accelerate with a 40% increase year-over-year, which is up from 38% in the second quarter. On a constant currency basis, our subscription revenue grew 44% year-over-year. Revenue from our cloud and big data solutions grew over 100% year-over-year for the seventh consecutive quarter, and we booked our largest single deal to date with one of the largest healthcare providers in the world. Talend also achieved free cash flow breakeven in the quarter, which we believe demonstrates the efficiency of our financial model. Overall we are pleased with our continued momentum and demonstrated leadership in big data and cloud integration, which positions us well for the remainder of 2016 and beyond.”

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board ("IASB"), this press release and the accompanying tables contain certain non-IFRS financial measures, including non-IFRS net loss, non-IFRS gross profit, non-IFRS operating margin and free cash flow. We define non-IFRS net loss as net loss less stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles. We define non-IFRS gross profit as gross profit less stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles. We define non-IFRS operating margin as loss from operations less stock-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangibles. We define free cash flow as net cash from (used in) operating activities less net cash used in investing activities for purchases of property and equipment and intangible assets. Non-IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Talend considers these non-IFRS financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of its performance and are key measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. In addition, investors often use similar measures to evaluate the performance of a company. Non-IFRS financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding the company’s operating results. The non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS, and may be different from non-IFRS financial measures presented by other companies. Please see the reconciliation of non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure attached to this release below.
