To Our Stakeholders
As the world settles into a new normal, business continuity remains top of mind for customers around the globe. Our second quarter results reflect strong on-going demand for secure, remote work environments and the high-performance delivery that Citrix solutions enable. We are continuing to accommodate customer needs and preferences as they work through this period of global disruption and uncertainty.
Our second quarter highlights include:
ï,· Second quarter subscription ARR1 was $949 million, up 54% year-over-year, and SaaS ARR was $590 million, up 41% year-over-year
ï,· Subscription bookings as a percentage of total product bookings was 76%, up from 62% in the second quarter of 2019
ï,· Reported revenue was $799 million in the second quarter, up 7% year-over-year. For the second quarter, GAAP diluted EPS was $0.90, and non-GAAP diluted EPS2 was $1.53
ï,· Future committed revenue increased 19%, or approximately $425 million year-over-year reflecting an increasing mix of subscription product bookings
ï,· Cash flow from operations was a record $419 million
ï,· Formalized an extensive go-to-market agreement and expanded strategic partnership with Microsoft
Organizations around the world are discovering the value that technology combined with culture and policies which support flexible work models have on their businesses. Even as companies start to formulate return-to-office plans and some geographies begin to re-open, more employers view remote work as a viable alternative to returning to the office with social distancing measures.
1Annualized Recurring Revenue, or ARR, is an operating metric that represents the contracted recurring value of all termed subscriptions normalized to a one-year period.
It is calculated at the end of a reporting period by taking each contract’s recurring total contract value and dividing by the length of the contract. ARR includes only active contractually committed, fixed subscription fees. Our definition of ARR includes contracts expected to recur and therefore excludes contracts with durations of 12 months or less where licenses were issued to address extraordinary business continuity events for our customers. All contracts are annualized, including 30 day offerings where we take monthly recurring revenue multiplied by 12 to annualize. ARR should be viewed independently of U.S. GAAP revenue, deferred revenue and unbilled revenue and is not intended to be combined with or to replace those items. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue.

Pre-pandemic estimates of the prevalence of remote work vary. According to a March 2020 post by the Pew Research Center based on data from the 2019 National Compensation Survey (NCS) published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics,3 7% of U.S. private industry workers and 4% of state and local government workers had a flexible workplace prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The NCS illustrated that those benefitting from the ability to work remotely were predominantly “knowledge workers,” within certain occupational and industry groups, and concentrated in larger companies. The highest concentration of those private industry workers with flexible workplace benefits were those in management, business and financial occupations (24%) and professional and related workers – like lawyers, engineers, and scientists (14%).
Recent Survey Results and Industry Estimates About Remote Work:
$11,000 per person per year is the estimated average cost savings to a typical employer for employees who work remotely half of the time6
1/3 of employees would take a pay cut to work remotely8
86% of parents want work flexibility, up from 46% prior to COVID-199
70% of candidates indicated that having a choice of work location is a key consideration in choosing an employer5
54% of candidates indicate that having a choice of work location is more important than working for a prestigious company5
$30 billion per day is the estimated amount U.S. employers are expected to save from employees working from home during what would otherwise be lost productivity due to COVID-19 related closures6

Now, in the midst of the pandemic, 98% of people surveyed say they’d like to work remotely at least some of the time for the rest of their careers.4 However, the most common obstacles to adoption of flexible work models include a company’s long-standing, non-flexible work culture and lack of understanding of the benefits of flexible working.5 According to Global Workplace Analytics, antiquated ways of micromanagement and management by walking around to count occupied seats inherently doesn’t manage by results and is not likely to be successful in a global, mobile economy.6
Not surprising, PwC found in its survey published in June 2020 of 120 U.S. company executives and 1200 U.S. office workers, 55% (up from 39% pre-pandemic) of executives plan to offer remote work at least one day a week after COVID-19 is no longer a threat.7 PwC’s survey found that 83% of office workers would like to work from home at least once a week, 72% would like to work from home at least two days a week, and 32% said they’d prefer to never go to the office.
Globally, we are in a period of monumental change. Employers and employees continue to work through the challenges brought by the rapid shift to remote work, including balancing work with personal obligations, fewer natural opportunities to collaborate, distractions, and mental health concerns. While we do not have an estimate as to what the effects of these considerable changes in attitude toward remote work will be on our business longer-term, we are convinced that this trend will serve as another demand driver for our solutions in the years ahead.
Context for Second Quarter Results
In the second quarter, strong demand for our Workspace and Networking products continued, albeit at a less hurried pace than was experienced in the back half of the first quarter, during the early COVID-19 related stay–at-home orders. Our subscription model transition regained momentum in the second quarter, with subscription bookings as percentage of total product bookings at the highest levels we’ve seen historically. Importantly, we saw strong year-over-year growth in ARR and in future committed revenue.

The impact of the reaccelerated shift towards subscription in our model can be seen in declines in the Product and License as well as the Support and Services reported revenue lines, more than offset by strength in Subscription revenue.
Customer Highlight: Deploying Cloud-Based Courses Within A Week
The University of Sydney is comprised of over 80,000 students and staff based across 22 locations. With the tragic brushfires in Australia followed by the onset of COVID-19 and subsequent travel bans, the University of Sydney leveraged Citrix ADC to connect its China-based students and staff, using Citrix Cloud in AWS to provide them with access to the data and applications needed to teach and learn remotely.
As planned, at the end of April, we ended the availability of the limited-use, short-term, non-renewable, discounted Citrix Workspace on-premises term licenses. We began offering these licenses in the first quarter in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in an effort to help our customers through the very challenging period of getting nearly all employees enabled to securely work from home. The impact of these limited-use licenses did not have a material effect on our second quarter financial results.
An important milestone in the second quarter was the conversion of one of our Strategic Service Provider customers, or SSPs, to the subscription model. This represented the second of our three SSPs converting to a subscription, or pooled-capacity, networking subscription model. The impact of this can be seen in the sharp increase in subscription bookings as a percent of Networking subscription bookings. We saw a similar dynamic when we converted our first SSP to subscription in the fourth quarter of 2019.
As we continue to progress through our subscription model transition, we plan to discontinue offering new perpetual licenses for Citrix Workspace beginning on October 1, 2020. While there will be exceptions made for certain customers in specific industries or geographies, following this date the offering will no longer be generally available for new or existing customers. After this time, customers will have the option of acquiring new Citrix Workspace seats in the form of on-premises subscription or SaaS offerings. We expect the timing of this will impact our fourth quarter Product and license reported revenue. For the foreseeable future, we will continue to support and renew existing maintenance contracts.
The subscription model transition serves as a bridge from legacy on-premises perpetual license and maintenance to the cloud. The interim step that has quickly gained traction is on-premises term subscriptions (“Other Subscription Revenue”). This option allows customers to continue to utilize the infrastructure in which they’ve already invested and—when acquired with hybrid rights—allows them to transition to the cloud at their own rate and pace.
We are finding that many customers are choosing on-premises term subscriptions rather than immediately migrating their Citrix Workspace deployments directly to the cloud. This is what drove strong resurgence of the transition towards subscription in the second quarter. Consistent with what we experienced in the first quarter, customers are focusing on immediate business critical needs rather than prioritizing larger, broader, longer-term digital transformation projects. As a result, the uptake of transitioning and trading customers up to our cloud offering is not progressing at the rate we had anticipated coming into the year. For us, this lag in the transition and trade-up motion will have an impact on revenue in the medium term.
One of the ways in which we intend to drive broader adoption and deeper penetration of our cloud services going forward is through our partnerships. Our longest and historically most strategic relationship has been with Microsoft. Last week, we announced a meaningful extension and enhancement of our long-standing partnership.

Building a Broader, Deeper Relationship with Microsoft
The Value Citrix adds to Windows Virtual Desktop Include: Hybrid cloud management – single management interface for workloads on-premises or in Azure. Migrate, capacity burst, or load balance between datacenter and cloud
Citrix HDX technology – protocol delivers user experiences on any device, over any connection
Performance and security analytics – deep visibility into user behavior and session responsiveness
Workspace environment management – optimize user density and logon performance
AutoScale – optimizes datacenter investment and ramps sessions to the cloud as needed. Scales cloud workloads dynamically on demand
Citrix has enjoyed a close, strategic relationship with Microsoft for decades. The expansion of our partnership announced last week creates closer alignment between our companies for the benefit of our joint customers. With this multi-year agreement:
ï,· Microsoft will lead sales with Citrix Cloud to move existing on-prem Citrix customers to Azure and will lead with Citrix® Workspace to move existing and new on-premises Citrix customers to Azure.
ï,· The companies will provide joint migration tools and services to simplify and accelerate the transition of on-premises Citrix virtualization customers to Microsoft Azure.
ï,· The companies will devise a connected roadmap to enable a consistent and optimal flexible work experience that will include joint offerings comprising Citrix Workspace, Citrix SD-WAN, Microsoft Azure, and Microsoft 365.
ï,· Joint offerings will be sold through the companies’ direct sales forces via the Azure Marketplace and a robust community of channel partners.
Our two companies are investing in joint marketing activities that will increase clarity for the customer, drive demand generation, and create pipeline, both for our direct sales teams and for our channel teams. While Citrix will lead with Azure as a preferred cloud platform to move existing Citrix on-prem customers to the cloud, we will maintain our long-standing policy of supporting choice for those customers who require on-premises deployments or the use of other cloud providers.
The upside we experienced in the first and second quarters, combined with our decision to discontinue the availability of perpetual Workspace licenses at the end of the third quarter and the rate of customers transitioning and trading up to the cloud influence our expectations for the remainder of the year. These factors, combined with the still uncertain broader toll COVID-19 will take on the global economy and the unknown slope and timing of the recovery impact our outlook. Longer term, we are increasingly convinced that this global health crisis is changing the way companies think about the benefits of flexible work, with many adopting a “hybrid-work” model in the future. It is not a discussion about choosing a single location for working, but a realization that work is an activity, not a place, requiring a flexible infrastructure to support, secure and empower their teams. All of this points to why virtual desktop technologies, and digital workspace technologies in general, have become so critical. Companies have to be able to provide a consistent, secure experience for employees so they can engage and be productive whether they are working at home, in the office, or on the road.
Citrix has never been more relevant to our customers and our partners. We are focused and aligned to maximize the opportunity we have to drive continued sustainable growth over the long-term aided by the secular shifts towards remote work, security and employee experience. While there’s no doubt we will need crisp execution to achieve this growth opportunity, we are optimistic as we look to the future.

ï,· Total average contract duration of deals booked in the second quarter was 1.5 years, up from the first quarter of 2020 with the elimination of the short-term, limited-use licenses made available to customers at the onset of the pandemic
In the second quarter, subscription bookings as a percentage of total product bookings increased across both the Workspace and Networking businesses. The overall mix and particularly the mix within Networking was dramatically impacted by one of our three SSPs transitioning to subscription-based consumption of our Networking services. While we expect the longer-term trajectory of Networking subscription bookings to continue to increase as a percentage of total Networking product bookings, there will continue to be volatility in this metric as well as the overall bookings mix on a quarterly basis.

On January 31, 2020, we entered into Accelerated Share Repurchase (ASR) transactions to repurchase an aggregate $1 billion in stock. In the first quarter of 2020, we received an initial share delivery of approximately 6.5 million shares with any remainder to be delivered by the end of the third quarter of 2020. After taking into consideration the remaining delivery of our ASR, we currently have approximately $714 million of remaining share repurchase authorization available. Our capital allocation priorities in this time of economic uncertainty are anchored in our quarterly $0.35 per share per quarter dividend. We continue to evaluate opportunities to grow the business inorganically, whether in the form of partnerships or through potential acquisitions. Following the execution of our $1 billion ASR, we will continue to monitor macroeconomic factors, market conditions, and our business priorities to determine the pace of share repurchases going forward. Guidance Full Year 2020 Our full year 2020 guidance is now: Full Year 2020 Guidance2 Revenue $3.18 billion to $3.21 billion GAAP Operating Margin 17% to 18% Non-GAAP Operating Margin 28% to 29% GAAP Diluted EPS $3.48 to $3.69 Non-GAAP Diluted EPS $5.65 to $5.85 Guidance reflects our expectation that subscription bookings as a percentage of product bookings will increase from 62% in 2019 to approximately 65% to 75% for the full year of 2020, and exiting the year at around 80%. The magnitude of the impact to recognized revenue is dependent on the mix of product bookings as well as the mix within subscription bookings. If our actual subscription bookings as a percentage of product bookings or if our SaaS bookings mix within subscription bookings exceeds expectations, the headwind to our 2020 revenue could be higher. Guidance assumes that non-GAAP operating margin will decline approximately 100 basis points year-over-year driven by a higher mix of cloud subscriptions and investments to continue to scale a growing cloud mix. We expect 2020 to be the trough year for operating margin in our multi-year subscription transition. Third Quarter 2020 We currently anticipate: Third Quarter 2020 Guidance2 Revenue $750 million to $760 million GAAP Diluted EPS $0.59 to $0.65 Non-GAAP Diluted EPS $1.20 to $1.25 Guidance reflects our expectation that subscription bookings as a percentage of product bookings will be in the range of 60% to 70% in the third quarter of 2020.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Comparable U.S. GAAP Measures (Unaudited)
Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this letter and related conference call or webcast to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. These measures differ from GAAP in that they exclude amortization primarily related to acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expenses and charges associated with the Company’s restructuring programs, and the related tax effect of those items. The income tax effect on non-GAAP items is calculated based upon the tax laws and statutory income tax rates applicable in the tax jurisdiction(s) of the underlying non-GAAP adjustment. The
Company’s basis for these adjustments is described below.
Management uses these non-GAAP measures for internal reporting and forecasting purposes, when publicly providing its business outlook, to evaluate the Company’s performance and to evaluate and compensate the Company’s executives. The Company has provided these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to GAAP financial results because it believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to certain investors and financial analysts for comparison across accounting periods not influenced by certain non-cash items or cash charges that are the result of discrete activities that are not used by management when evaluating the Company’s historical and prospective financial performance. In addition, the Company has historically provided this or similar information and understands that some investors and financial analysts find this information helpful in analyzing the Company’s operating margins, operating expenses and net income and comparing the Company’s financial performance to that of its peer companies and competitors. Management typically excludes the amounts described above when evaluating the Company’s operating performance and believes that the resulting non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and financial analysts in assessing the Company’s operating performance due to the following factors:
ï,· The Company does not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle. The Company, therefore, believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures that adjust for the impact of amortization of intangible assets and stock-
based compensation expenses and the related tax effects that are primarily related to acquisitions, provide investors and financial analysts with a consistent basis for comparison across accounting periods and, therefore, are useful to investors and financial analysts in helping them to better understand the Company’s operating results and underlying operational trends. 2020 | Q2 Financials

ï,· Amortization of intangible assets and the related tax effects are fixed at the time of an acquisition, are then amortized over a period of several years after the acquisition and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the acquisition.
ï,· Although stock-based compensation is an important aspect of the compensation of the Company’s employees and executives, stock-based compensation expense is generally fixed at the time of grant, then amortized over a period of several years after the grant of the stock-based instrument, and generally cannot be changed or influenced by management after the grant.
ï,· The Company has engaged in various restructuring activities over the past several years that have resulted in costs associated with reductions in headcount, consolidation of leased facilities and related costs. Each restructuring activity has been a discrete event based on a unique set of business objectives or circumstances, and each has differed from the others in terms of its operational implementation, business impact and scope. While the
Company’s operations previously benefited from the employees and facilities covered by the various restructuring charges, these employees and facilities have benefited different parts of the Company’s business in different ways, and the amount of these charges has varied significantly from period to period. The Company, therefore, believes that the exclusion of these charges will better help investors and financial analysts understand the Company’s operating results and underlying operational trends.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies. There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. The additional non-GAAP financial information presented here should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP (such as net income and earnings per share) and should not be considered measures of the Company’s liquidity.
