AMES, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Workiva (NYSE:WK), the leading cloud provider of connected data, reporting and compliance solutions, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2018.
“We posted strong results for the fourth quarter and full year 2018,” said Marty Vanderploeg, CEO of Workiva. “Operating margin improved significantly in the quarter, and we outperformed our guidance for revenue, operating loss and loss per share. We remain committed to achieving profitable growth over time.”
“The significant operating efficiencies we gained in 2018 are enabling us to accelerate growth investments in 2019 in integrated risk, European financial reporting and compliance, and global statutory reporting,” said Vanderploeg.
“We expect cash flow from operations to improve significantly in 2019,” said Stuart Miller, CFO of Workiva. “Our guidance on operating margin reflects the investments in growth we plan to make in 2019.”
“Wdesk is the only cloud platform that provides data assurance and connected reporting throughout the entire reporting process — from ERP transactional data to final reports,” said Vanderploeg. “As customers add more use cases in Wdesk, the value of our connected reporting platform becomes more powerful.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP adjustments referenced herein relate to the exclusion of stock-based compensation and CEO separation expense. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP historical financial measures has been provided in Table I at the end of this press release. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP guidance has been provided in Table II at the end of this press release.
Workiva believes that the use of non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share is helpful to its investors. These measures, which are referred to as non-GAAP financial measures, are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. Non-GAAP gross profit is calculated by excluding stock-based compensation expense attributable to cost of revenues from gross profit. Non-GAAP gross margin is the ratio calculated by dividing non-GAAP gross profit by revenues. Non-GAAP loss from operations is calculated by excluding stock-based compensation expense and CEO separation expense from loss from operations. Non-GAAP net loss is calculated by excluding stock-based compensation expense, net of tax, and CEO separation expense from net loss. Non-GAAP net loss per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net loss by the weighted- average shares outstanding as presented in the calculation of GAAP net loss per share. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of equity instruments that can impact a company’s non-cash expenses, Workiva believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation expense allows for more meaningful comparisons between its operating results from period to period. Because of the non-recurring nature of CEO separation expense, Workiva believes this expense is not representative of ongoing operating costs. Workiva’s management excludes CEO separation expense when evaluating its ongoing performance and/or predicting its operating trends and believes that its investors should have access to the same set of tools that we use in analyzing results. Workiva’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as tools for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating Workiva’s own operating results over different periods of time.
Non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in Workiva’s industry, as other companies in the industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on Workiva’s reported financial results. Further, stock-based compensation expense has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in Workiva’s business and an important part of the compensation provided to its employees. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors should review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Workiva’s business.
