First quarter 2016 financial results
Revenue for the first quarter of 2016 grew 5 percent to $107.9 million, compared with $102.8 million in the first quarter of 2015.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the quarter was $22.9 million, or $0.44 per diluted ordinary share. This compares with non-GAAP adjusted net income of $23.9 million, or $0.46 per diluted ordinary share for the first quarter of 2015. GAAP net income for the quarter was $11.3 million, or $0.22 per diluted ordinary share. This compares with GAAP net income of $11.9 million, or $0.22 per diluted ordinary share in the prior year's first quarter1.
Non-GAAP adjusted operating income was $29.4 million for the quarter, compared with $31.7 million for the first quarter of 2015. GAAP operating income was $16.3 million for the quarter, compared with $19.8 million for the first quarter of 2015. Operating cash flow was $21.5 million for the quarter, compared with $22.2 million for the first quarter of last year. Free cash flow was $16.2 million for the quarter, compared with $19.9 million for the first quarter of 2015.
"The results for the first quarter reflect our continued progress on our operating and strategic plans, particularly in light of current market conditions," said Gary Kovacs, chief executive officer. "Revenues from our emerging businesses which includes Mobile, VPN and hosted-SMB, grew 57 percent over the same period last year, comprising 28 percent of total revenue, while search represented just 16 percent. I am also pleased to report that the user migration to ZEN, our cross-platform, multi-device software reached 53 million and we are on track to turn on the monetization engine in the middle of the year. Based on early testing, we remain confident that ZEN will be a key component of our future growth strategy, protecting our users on any device anywhere and anytime they go online."
Financial Outlook
Based on information available as of April 27, 2016, AVG is providing the following outlook for fiscal year 2016 as follows:
- Revenue outlook is reconfirmed to be in the range of $440 million to $460 million.
- Non-GAAP adjusted net income is expected to be in the range of $100 million to $104 million; non-GAAP adjusted net income per diluted ordinary share is expected to be in the range of $1.90 to $1.96.
- GAAP net income is expected to be in the range of $43 million to $49 million; GAAP net income per diluted ordinary share is expected to be in the range of $0.81 to $0.93.
AVG's expectation of non-GAAP adjusted net income for fiscal year 2016 excludes share-based compensation expense, acquisition amortization and certain other adjustments, and assumes a normalized tax rate of 12.5 percent. For the purpose of calculating GAAP net income per diluted ordinary share and non-GAAP adjusted net income per diluted ordinary share, the Company assumes approximately 53 million weighted-average diluted ordinary shares outstanding for the full year.
The financial information presented in this press release is neither audited nor reviewed.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures provide additional information on the performance or liquidity of our business that we believe are useful for investors.
Adjusted net income, net debt, free cash flow, cash conversion and their related ratios are non-GAAP measures and should not be considered alternatives to the applicable U.S. GAAP measures. In particular, adjusted net income, net debt, free cash flow, cash conversion and their related ratios, should not be considered as measurements of our financial performance or liquidity under U.S. GAAP, as alternatives to income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
Adjusted net income, net debt, free cash flow and cash conversion are measures of financial performance and liquidity, and have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, an analysis of our results of operations, including our operating income and cash flows, as reported under U.S. GAAP. We provide these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that such measures provide important supplemental information to management and investors about the Company's core operating results and liquidity, primarily because the non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain expenses and other amounts that management does not consider to be indicative of the Company's core operating results or business outlook or liquidity. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, in evaluating the Company's operating performance, in planning and forecasting future periods, in making decisions regarding business operations and allocation of resources, and in comparing the Company's performance against its historical performance. Some of the limitations of adjusted net income and free cash flow and their related ratios as measures are:
- they do not reflect our cash expenditure or future requirements for capital expenditure or contractual commitments, nor do they reflect the actual cash contributions received from customers;
- they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
- although amortization and share-based compensation are non-cash charges, the assets being amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
- other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
Because of these limitations, investors should rely on AVG's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and treat the Company's non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information only.
For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, please see "Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures." All non-GAAP financial measures should be read in conjunction with the comparable information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
