Product Releases and Other Business Highlights

Elastic released new innovations with version 7.11 across its enterprise search, observability and security solutions that enable customers to optimize for cost, performance, insight and flexibility.

Foundational features in 7.11 that can be leveraged across all three solutions include the general availability of searchable snapshots and the cold data tier to help customers store and search more data while maintaining control over cost and performance. Additional features include the beta of schema on read, which allows customers to discover new data and new workflows by creating a schema on the fly, and the general availability of a new alerting framework, which provides customers with the flexibility to create, manage and monitor alerts across the Elastic Stack.

Expanded capabilities include:

Elastic Enterprise Search

  • Launched the beta of a new web crawler for Elastic App Search that makes content from publicly accessible websites easily searchable
  • Added Box as a content source to Elastic Workplace Search with a prebuilt connector and document-level permissions
  • Extended granular access controls for Elastic Workplace Search with document-level permissions for Atlassian Jira Cloud and Confluence Cloud

Elastic Observability

  • Launched a new service health overview in Elastic APM to accelerate root cause analysis and troubleshooting
  • Introduced a new host details view in the Elastic Metrics app to help users troubleshoot infrastructure issues faster and narrow down next steps of an investigation
  • Added new logging libraries in Elastic Common Schema to provide more context to application troubleshooting workflows by automatically linking logs and traces

Elastic Security

  • Automated detection and operationalized analytics with prebuilt machine learning jobs and detection rules supporting MITRE sub-techniques
  • Streamlined SOC workflows and accelerated response times with more customizable alert notifications and an expanded set of rule actions
  • Updated the Timeline workspace to drive more efficient threat hunting, alert triage and investigations

Elastic Cloud

  • Enhanced cross-cluster replication and cross-cluster search between regions and cloud providers to break down data silos and improve search performance
  • Scaled and streamlined cloud operations with autoscaling of data and machine learning nodes
  • Launched support for the new cold data tier to retain more data for longer at the same cost

Other Business Highlights

  • Moved our Apache 2.0-licensed source code in Elasticsearch and Kibana to be dual licensed under the Elastic License v2 and the Server Side Public License
  • Appointed Ashutosh Kulkarni as chief product officer
  • Delivered eight regional virtual ElasticON events, exhibited at AWS re:Invent and Black Hat Europe, and sponsored the DeveloperWeek Virtual Conference
  • Raised more than $400,000 on Giving Tuesday through the Elastic Cares initiative, an employee-match giving program

Financial Outlook

The Company is providing the following guidance:

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 (ending April 30, 2021):

  • Total revenue is expected to be between $158 million and $159 million
  • Non-GAAP operating margin is expected to be between -8.5% and -7.5%
  • Non-GAAP net loss per share is expected to be between $0.18 and $0.15, assuming between 90.5 million and 91.5 million weighted average ordinary shares outstanding

For fiscal 2021 (ending April 30, 2021):

  • Total revenue is expected to be between $589 million and $590 million
  • Non-GAAP operating margin is expected to be between -3.3% and -3.0%
  • Non-GAAP net loss per share is expected to be between $0.19 and $0.16, assuming between 87 million and 88 million weighted average ordinary shares outstanding

We continue to believe it is prudent to expect some near-term business headwinds as the economic impact from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic further unfolds. As such, our guidance includes the expected impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic on our business and results of operations based on information available to us today.

See the section titled “Forward-Looking Statements” below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially. A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, many of the costs and expenses that may be incurred in the future. These items necessary to reconcile such non-GAAP measures could be material and have a significant impact on the Company’s results computed in accordance with GAAP.

Conference Call and Webcast

Elastic’s executive management team will host a conference call today at 2:00 p.m. PT/ 5:00 p.m. ET to discuss the Company’s financial results and business outlook. A live audio webcast of the conference call will be available on Elastic’s Investor Relations website at ir.elastic.co. Slides will accompany the webcast. The replay of the webcast and slides will be available for two months.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risk and uncertainties, which include, but are not limited to, our expected financial results for the fiscal quarter and the fiscal year ending April 30, 2021, our expectations regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, our assessments of the strength of our solutions and products, the expected performance or benefits of our offerings, and our expectations regarding the benefits of our investments. These forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Our expectations and beliefs in light of currently available information regarding these matters may not materialize. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances, including but not limited to those related to: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the macroeconomic environment, on our business, operations, hiring and financial results, and on businesses of our customers and partners, including their spending priorities, the effect of lockdowns, restrictions and new regulations; our future financial performance, including our expectations regarding our revenue, cost of revenue, gross profit or gross margin, operating expenses (which include changes in sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative expenses), and our ability to achieve and maintain future profitability; our ability to continue to deliver and improve our offerings and develop new offerings, including security-related product and SaaS offerings; customer acceptance and purchase of our existing offerings and new offerings, including the expansion and adoption of our SaaS offerings; our inability to realize value from investments in the business, including R&D investments; our ability to maintain and expand our user and customer base; the impact of our licensing model on the use and adoption of our software; the impact of foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations on our results; our international expansion strategy; our operating results and cash flows; our beliefs and objectives for future operations; the sufficiency of our capital resources; our ability to successfully execute our go-to-market strategy, including by expanding our relationships with our partners, and expand in our existing markets and into new markets, and our ability to forecast customer retention and expansion; and general market, political, economic and business conditions (including developments and volatility arising from the COVID-19 pandemic).

Any additional or unforeseen effect from the COVID-19 pandemic may exacerbate these risks. Additional risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially are included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020 and any subsequent reports filed with the SEC. SEC filings are available on the Investor Relations section of Elastic’s website at ir.elastic.co and the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
