BEDFORD, MA, January 16, 2020 (GlobeNewswire) — Progress (NASDAQ: PRGS), the leading provider of application development and digital experience technologies, today announced results for its fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year ended November 30, 2019.

On a GAAP basis, revenue was $117.0 million during the quarter compared to $98.1 million in the same quarter last year, a year-over-year increase of 19% on an actual currency basis and 21% on a constant currency basis. On a non-GAAP basis, revenue was $123.4 million during the quarter compared to $98.3 million in the same quarter last year, an increase of 26% on an actual currency basis and 27% on a constant currency basis.

On a GAAP basis, diluted loss per share during the quarter was $0.11 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.19 in the same quarter last year, a decrease of 158%. On a non-GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share during the quarter was $0.79 compared to $0.54 in the same quarter last year, an increase of 46%.

“Our fourth quarter performance was very strong, allowing us to exceed both our revenue and EPS guidance for fiscal 2019," said Yogesh Gupta, CEO at Progress. "Once again, in Q4 we had a better-than-expected contribution from Ipswitch, our recent acquisition, further validating our focus on accretive M&A as our go-forward strategy. We look forward to continued momentum in 2020, as we execute on a strategic plan that will drive sustainable, long-term value for all shareholders.”

2020 Business Outlook

Progress provides the following guidance for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2020 and for the fiscal first quarter ending February 29, 2020, together with actual results for the same periods in the fiscal year ending November 30, 2019:

	FY 2019 Actual								FY 2020 Guidance
(In millions, except percentages and per share amounts)	FY 2019 GAAP				FY 2019 Non-GAAP				FY 2020 GAAP			FY 2020 Non-GAAP
Revenue	$	413			$	432			$440 - $447			$448 - $455
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.58			$	2.69			$1.96 - $2.01			$2.87 - $2.92
Operating margin	10%				38%				27%			39%
Cash from operations (GAAP) / Adjusted free cash flow (Non-GAAP)	$	128			$	129			$149 - $154			$145 - $150
Effective tax rate	7		%		19		%		17	%		20	%

	Q1 2019 Actual								Q1 2020 Guidance
(In millions, except per share amounts)	Q1 2019 GAAP				Q1 2019 Non-GAAP				Q1 2020 GAAP		Q1 2020 Non-GAAP
Revenue	$	90			$	90			$106 - $109		$110 - $113
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.21			$	0.50			$0.40 - $0.42		$0.69 - $0.71

Based on current exchange rates, the expected negative currency translation impact on Progress' fiscal year 2020 business outlook compared to 2019 exchange rates is approximately $0.6 million on GAAP and non-GAAP revenue. The expected

negative currency translation impact on Progress' fiscal Q1 2020 business outlook compared to 2019 exchange rates on GAAP and non-GAAP revenue is approximately $0.5 million. The expected currency translation impact on GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share for fiscal year 2020 and fiscal Q1 2020 is not material. To the extent that there are changes in exchange rates versus the current environment, this may have an impact on Progress' business outlook.

Share Repurchase Program

Progress also announced today that its Board of Directors has increased the total share repurchase authorization from the $75 million remaining on the previous authorization to $250 million.
