• RingCentral Rooms for Windows devices

London, UK -- June 22, 2021 -- RingCentral Inc. (NYSE: RNG), a leading provider of global enterprise cloud communications, video meetings, collaboration, and contact center solutions, today announced new enhancements to RingCentral Rooms™. The enhancements, specific to its video meetings capabilities within RingCentral’s Message Video Phone™(MVP™) offering and RingCentral Video®, the company's video meetings solution with team messaging, will enable people to connect, communicate, and collaborate seamlessly, whether they are returning to the office or working from anywhere. The new capabilities include voice activated control enabling users to start and join meetings through a touchless experience and the ability to control the meeting from a mobile device. In addition, RingCentral Rooms will now be compatible with Logitech Rally devices and Windows devices and appliances, making RingCentral Rooms accessible to a wider audience. 

“At RingCentral we are focused on connecting people - wherever they are located - with the best messaging, video, and cloud phone service,” said Nat Natarajan, executive vice president of products and engineering at RingCentral. “As offices open up, organizations are quickly adapting to support a collaborative hybrid workforce that creates participation equity. Our rapid innovation on RingCentral Rooms makes it easier and more rewarding for people to connect, resulting in a more inclusive culture so they can do their best work.”  

RingCentral customer Dave Evans, CIO of Computer History Museum, a well-known Bay Area-based institution, said, “Our mission is to enable our employees, partners and guests to communicate digitally with audiences all over the world - whether that's in-person from our historical venue, from home, or on-the-go. With new RingCentral Rooms capabilities, we will have the flexibility we need to redesign and transform our venue for the new way of working and support a hybrid model. By doing this, we can continue to preserve the history of computing through the exchange of ideas with audiences seamlessly from wherever they are.” 

Meeting Room Features for the Hybrid Workplace 

As workers begin to return to offices and work from anywhere, organizations must manage safety concerns, including cleanliness and social distancing guidelines to ensure their employees are comfortable attending hybrid video meetings in an office environment. To support this, we are announcing the following features for RingCentral Rooms: 

• Voice activated Rooms: Users can use a voice command, “Hi RingCentral, join my meeting” in any conference room that leverages RingCentral Rooms, without needing to touch the shared tablet controller or any high touch surfaces. 
• Mobile phone as controller: Users can start, join, and manage video meetings in a conference room using their own RingCentral mobile app (connecting to the room via Bluetooth) so they can adhere to social distancing guidelines and avoid touching the communal controller tablet to control the Rooms system. The RingCentral app will natively support a command to start an upcoming meeting. 
• Rooms monitoring: Users can now track and monitor their RingCentral Rooms devices in real-time, gaining visibility into device history and unprovisioned devices. With this feature, users can easily search, filter, and track meeting rooms and devices based on location/IP address, time, and device name.
• Rooms status and alerts: IT admins can now customize the operational status of their room’s assets to ensure meeting rooms are fully functional. Administrators can receive real-time, proactive alerts about the status of devices and integrations in any particular meeting room and remedy any issues before the meeting occurs.
• Windows for RingCentral Rooms: RingCentral Rooms now supports Windows-based host appliances, in addition to Android and Mac appliances. With this update, we are continuing to expand our portfolio by providing compatibility and support for the majority of devices used by customers today including devices from Logitech and AVer. 

“Organizations are actively discussing plans to enable employees to work in the office and exactly when and how that will happen. However, they will need an actual plan in place that addresses things like meeting accessibility, simplicity, control, inclusion, workplace safety, security, privacy, etc. for that to happen effectively,” said Rich Costello, senior research analyst, IDC. “The capabilities and enhancements highlighted in this RingCentral Rooms announcement are key attributes of any smart return to work plan.”

RingCentral Rooms for Logitech: All-in-One Video Meeting Rooms Solution

Together, Logitech and RingCentral are providing an easy way for businesses to modernize their workplaces for the new hybrid workforce with an enhanced meeting rooms experience. With RingCentral Rooms for Logitech, mutual customers can deploy, start, and join meetings without the need for extensive meeting room equipment, delivering an all-in-one video conferencing solution for almost any workspace.

“Teleconference phones in conference rooms are rapidly transforming into video rooms as the world starts returning to the office and transitioning to hybrid work,” said Scott Wharton, GM of Video Collaboration for Logitech. “RingCentral has been a leader and innovator in driving Unified Communications to businesses of all sizes, so their RingCentral Rooms, powered by Logitech's market-leading video products, is a next logical step to helping people adapt to the new hybrid reality.”

Financial Outlook

Full Year 2021 Guidance:

• Raising subscriptions revenue range to $1.388 to $1.396 billion, representing annual growth of 28% to 29%. This is up from our prior range of $1.365 to $1.375 billion and annual growth of 26% to 27%.
• Raising total revenue range to $1.500 to $1.510 billion, representing annual growth of 27% to 28%. This is up from our prior range of $1.475 to $1.490 billion and annual growth of 25% to 26%.
• GAAP operating margin range of (21.3%) to (20.1%).
• Non-GAAP operating margin range of 10.0% to 10.1%.
• Non-GAAP tax rate assumed to be 22.5%. No material cash taxes expected given net operating loss carryforwards.
• Raising non-GAAP EPS range to $1.24 to $1.27 based on 93.5 to 94.0 million fully diluted shares. This is up from our prior range of $1.20 to $1.24 based on 94.0 to 94.5 million fully diluted shares.
• Share-based compensation range of $410 to $420 million, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs of $64 million, amortization of acquisition intangibles range of $46 to $49 million, and acquisition related matters of approximately $0.4 million.

Second Quarter 2021 Guidance:

• Subscriptions revenue range of $332 to $334 million, representing annual growth of 29% to 30%.
• Total revenue range of $356.5 to $359.5 million, representing annual growth of 28% to 29%.
• GAAP operating margin range of (23.2%) to (21.6%).
• Non-GAAP operating margin of 9.3%.
• Non-GAAP tax rate assumed to be 22.5%. No material cash taxes expected given net operating loss carryforwards.
• Non-GAAP EPS range of $0.27 to $0.28 based on 93.0 million fully diluted shares.
• Share-based compensation range of $99 to $104 million, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs of $16 million, and amortization of acquisition intangibles of $12 million.

For a reconciliation of our forecasted non-GAAP operating margin, see “Reconciliation of Forecasted Operating Margin GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures.” We have not reconciled our forecasted non-GAAP EPS to its respective forecasted GAAP measure because we do not provide guidance on it. We do not provide guidance on forecasted GAAP EPS because of the inherent uncertainty and complexity involved in forecasting the intercompany remeasurement gain (loss), gain (loss) associated with investments and strategic partnerships, gain (loss) on early debt conversions, and provision (benefit) from income taxes, which could be significant reconciling items between the non-GAAP and respective GAAP measures. The intercompany remeasurement gain (loss) is affected by the movement in various exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar, which is difficult to predict and subject to constant change. We do not provide guidance on gain (loss) associated with investments and strategic partnerships as it is based on future share prices, which are difficult to predict and subject to inherent uncertainties. We do not provide guidance on gain (loss) on debt early conversions as it is based on future conversion requests, future share prices, and interest rates, which are difficult to predict and are subject to inherent uncertainties. We do not provide guidance on forecasted GAAP tax rates as we do not forecast discrete tax items as they are difficult to predict. The provision (benefit) from income taxes, excluding discrete items, is expected to have an immaterial impact to our GAAP EPS. We utilized a projected long-term tax rate in our computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision. For fiscal 2021, we have determined the projected non-GAAP tax rate to be 22.5%. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

All forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to RingCentral as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, to review or confirm analysts’ expectations, or to provide interim reports or updates on the progress of the current financial quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our reported financial results and financial outlook include certain Non-GAAP financial measures, including Non-GAAP subscriptions gross margin, Non-GAAP other gross margin, Non-GAAP operating margin, Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, Non-GAAP net income (loss), Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share, Non-GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, and Non-GAAP free cash flow. Non-GAAP subscriptions gross margin is defined as Non-GAAP subscriptions gross profit divided by GAAP subscriptions revenue. Non-GAAP other gross margin is defined as Non-GAAP other gross profit divided by GAAP other revenue. Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations is defined as GAAP income (loss) from operations excluding share-based compensation which includes related employer payroll taxes, amortization of acquisition intangibles, and acquisition related matters including transaction costs, integration costs, restructuring costs, and acquisition-related retention payments, as well as changes in the fair value of contingent consideration obligations. Non-GAAP operating margin is defined as Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations divided by total GAAP revenue. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is defined as GAAP net income (loss) excluding share-based compensation which includes related employer payroll taxes, intercompany remeasurement gains or losses, acquisition related matters, amortization of acquisition intangibles, non-cash interest expense associated with amortization of debt discount and issuance costs related to our convertible senior notes, gain (loss) associated with investments and strategic partnerships, loss on early extinguishment of debt, tax benefit from release of valuation allowance, and the related income tax effect of these adjustments.

Non-GAAP diluted shares outstanding include the impact on shares used in per share calculations of our outstanding capped call transactions. Our outstanding capped call transactions are anti-dilutive in GAAP earnings per share but are expected to mitigate the dilutive effect of our convertible notes and therefore are included in the calculations of non-GAAP diluted shares outstanding.

Non-GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus cash paid for repayments of convertible senior notes attributable to debt discount and cash paid for strategic partnerships. Non-GAAP free cash flow is defined as Non-GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities reduced by purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software. We believe information regarding free cash flow provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the strength of liquidity and available cash.

We have included Non-GAAP subscriptions gross margin, Non-GAAP other gross margin, Non-GAAP operating margin, Non-GAAP net income (loss), Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share, Non-GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, and Non-GAAP free cash flow in this press release because they are key measures used by us to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget, and to develop short and long-term operational plans. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses and cash flow items in calculating Non-GAAP subscriptions gross margin, Non-GAAP other gross margin, Non-GAAP operating margin, Non-GAAP net income (loss), Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share, Non-GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, and Non-GAAP free cash flow provide useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business.

Although Non-GAAP subscriptions gross margin, Non-GAAP other gross margin, Non-GAAP operating margin, Non-GAAP net income (loss), Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share, Non-GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, and Non-GAAP free cash flow are frequently used by investors in their evaluations of companies, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered alongside other financial performance measures.

Reconciliations of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.

Other Measures

Our reported results also include our annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, RingCentral Office® annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, mid-market and enterprise annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, enterprise annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, channel partner annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, and net monthly subscriptions dollar retention. We define our annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions as our monthly recurring subscriptions multiplied by 12. Our monthly recurring subscriptions equal the monthly value of all customer recurring charges contracted at the end of a given month. We believe this metric is a leading indicator of our anticipated subscriptions revenue. We calculate our RingCentral Office® annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions in the same manner as we calculate our annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, except that only customer subscriptions from RingCentral Office® and RingCentral customer engagement solutions customers are included when determining monthly recurring subscriptions for the purposes of calculating this key business metric. We calculate mid-market and enterprise annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions in the same manner as we calculate our RingCentral Office® annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, except that only customer subscriptions from customers generating $25,000 or more in annual recurring revenue are included. We calculate enterprise annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions in the same manner as we calculate our RingCentral Office® annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, except that only customer subscriptions from customers generating $100,000 or more in annual recurring revenue are included. We calculate channel partner Office annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions in the same manner as we calculate our annualized exit monthly revenue subscriptions, except that only customer subscriptions generated from channel partners are included. We calculate direct and partners Office annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions in the same manner as we calculate our annualized exit monthly revenue subscriptions, except that only customer subscriptions not generated from channel partners are included. We define dollar net change as the quotient of (i) the difference of our monthly recurring subscriptions at the end of a period minus our monthly recurring subscriptions at the beginning of a period minus our monthly recurring subscriptions at the end of the period from new customers we added during the period, (ii) all divided by the number of months in the period. We define our average monthly recurring subscriptions as the average of the monthly recurring subscriptions at the beginning and end of the measurement period.

Belmont, Calif.— April 20, 2021 — RingCentral, Inc. (NYSE: RNG), a leading provider of global enterprise cloud communications, collaboration, video meetings, and contact center solutions, today announced a range of new video and team messaging capabilities to enhance online meetings and enable people to effectively communicate and collaborate from anywhere. In addition, as people continue to work from anywhere, the RingCentral mobile app is gaining significant momentum. It is the highest rated app in its category on Google Play with a rating of 4.6 and among the top ranking apps in its category on the Apple Store with a rating of 4.6*.  

A select few new RingCentral Video capabilities include: 

• Overlay: Enables users to keep audiences engaged during their virtual presentations by overlaying their video on top of the content on their screen, creating a “weather person” visual effect. Presenters can interact directly with the content by moving themselves around on the screen in order to guide the message and stay visually present throughout their journey. This helps the presenter hold the audience’s attention and allows the audience to keep an eye on the presenter while following the material being presented. 

• Video virtual backgrounds: Along with static images, users can now upload video files as virtual backgrounds to have more fun during meetings and express themselves creatively while maintaining their privacy. Backgrounds such as a cosy fireplace or waves on the beach can be used to create an enjoyable virtual experience, and help users maintain a professional presence by hiding their physical backgrounds. 

• Breakout Rooms: Meeting moderators can quickly split up participants into smaller groups for a side discussion or brainstorm during a video meeting. This feature can create an experience that is similar to an in-person group exercise for more interactive and intimate conversations. This capability will be available by the end of Q2 2021. 

• Picture-in-picture: Allows meeting participants to multi-task within the RingCentral app during a meeting. Users can quickly reference conversations in team messaging through a separate window on their screen while participating in the live video meeting. 

A few new capabilities for team messaging are listed below: 

• Personal folders: Enables users to group together relevant teams and conversations by creating folders for added ease and efficiency and improved organisation. 

• Export message data: The message data export tool helps admins narrow down their search parameters, saving time and reducing the amount of data being exported. This type of feature enables companies to export historical messages for compliance needs.

• External guest controls: Admins can elect which users have the ability to invite external guests into the organisation’s RingCentral system. Additionally, admins can choose whether external guests have the ability to start conversations with internal users.

• Mobile app resource center: Instead of searching around for help and relevant resources, users can now access all of that in one place, directly from within their mobile app so they can resolve issues quickly, even while on-the-go.

“How we work is changing and the capabilities we need to have to communicate and collaborate will evolve,” said Nat Natarajan, executive vice president of products and engineering at RingCentral. “We are rapidly delivering new capabilities of RingCentral Video that not only make video meetings more enjoyable and more effective but combine video with team messaging so people can get more work done more effectively before, during, and after their meetings.”

To provide greater integration between different modes of communication, including message, video and phone, and to manage concerns for when people get back into their offices and ensure they are safe, we are announcing: 

• Mobile phone as RingCentral Rooms controller: Users can start, join, and manage video meetings in any conference room using their own RingCentral mobile app (connecting to the room via Bluetooth) so they can avoid touching the shared controller tablet. As some workers begin to return to the office, while others remain at home, RingCentral Rooms allows all participants to join the meeting while adhering to the physical distancing requirements and without using the communal iPad or device to control the Rooms system. 

Roopam Jain, Industry Director for Unified Communications and Collaboration at analyst firm Frost & Sullivan, said, “The rapid pace of new video capabilities demonstrates RingCentral’s strong commitment to innovation and addressing the needs of today’s evolving hybrid workforce. The wide variety of new features that RingCentral has added to RingCentral Video™ will help drive even greater engagement for people working from anywhere - enabling them to connect and build relationships while driving business outcomes.”

RingCentral customer Elliot Hamby of Envera Systems, a leading provider of technology-based security solutions, said, “With RingCentral Video our customers and employees are able to join video meetings from a laptop or mobile phone with the click of a button and screen sharing is just as easy, which has helped us increase our productivity. We’ve been pleased to see the rapid pace of new innovations like virtual video backgrounds and closed captioning. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to embrace RingCentral as our unified communications platform.”

Cody Broderick, founder & CEO, inWhatLanguage, a RingCentral customer that provides innovative translation solutions, said, “RingCentral enables us to work smarter and faster by integrating video meetings and team messaging all in a single application. We have the RingCentral application on our laptops, mobile phones and tablets so we can communicate from anywhere on any device. We’ve been impressed with the speed of innovation and availability of new RingCentral Video features, like overlay presenter mode and breakout rooms, which have enabled us to share experiences both externally and internally as we continue to work together from anywhere to shape a better future.”

London, UK –  April 14, 2021 -- RingCentral UK Ltd, a leading provider of global enterprise cloud communications, collaboration, video meetings and contact centre solutions, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of RingCentral, Inc. (NYSE: RNG), recently connected people across the UK as they participated in The Big Easter Sleepout At Home to fight homelessness and poverty. 

On April 1st, CEO Sleepout, a UK charity which supports organisations such as The Trussell Trust, encouraged families to give up their warm beds for a night to help raise money for the homeless. Due to the current restrictions, participants were asked to sleep ‘out’ either alone, or with the people they live with, in a safe location. RingCentral’s smart video and messaging platform, Glip®, played an essential role in keeping people connected for the night.

All participants had access to the Glip mobile app ahead of the night, with dedicated groups pre-assigned. RingCentral built a complete video programme of music, live chats and comedy including a show-stopping number from the musical "Dear Evan Hansen". Participants heard heartwarming stories from Kerri Douglas, who talked about her journey from becoming homeless at the age of 13 on the streets of London to author, speaker and mother of twins.

The charity also managed to raise £35,500 from the event this year. To date, CEO Sleepout has raised £2.8 million, donated to over 100 charities, and changed countless lives. Bianca Robinson, CEO of CEO Sleepout explains: “The Big Easter Sleepout is intended to bring compassionate people together to tackle the rising tide of homelessness we’re seeing as a result of the pandemic and lockdown measures. Sleeping out somewhere safe at home doesn’t come close to the horror of becoming homeless, but through the initiative--supported by RingCentral--we’re achieving three vitally important things; raising awareness of some of the issues surrounding homelessness, raising funds for charities on the front line of homelessness, and people are giving up their time and comfort to help others.”

Steve Rafferty, RingCentral UK MD, adds: “As a society, we’re going through an incredibly challenging time, and it’s vitally important that initiatives like the Big Easter Sleepout At Home can still go ahead. RingCentral enables people around the world to work from anywhere through our communications and collaboration solutions. It’s an honour to be able to share our technology for such a good cause.”

London, UK — March 4, 2021 — RingCentral, Inc. (NYSE:RNG), a leading provider of global enterprise cloud communications, video meetings, collaboration, and contact centre solutions, today announced that it has been recognised as a Leader in two IDC MarketScape reports for UCaaS Enterprise and small and medium-sized business (SMB) market segments. The Enterprise report evaluates 19 different vendors that sell to organisations with 1,000 or more employees, while the SMB report evaluates 15 different vendors that sell to organisations with fewer than 1,000 employees. In both reports, RingCentral was named a Leader. 

The two new IDC MarketScape reports are:

-  IDC MarketScape: Worldwide UCaaS Service Providers for Enterprise 2021 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US47452521, February 2021) and
- IDC MarketScape: Worldwide UCaaS Service Providers for SMB 2021 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US47452421, February 2021)

IDC estimates that worldwide UCaaS service provider revenue, including Over the Top (OTT) providers, will reach $16.1 billion in 2024 in its Worldwide UCaaS Service Provider Forecast, 2020–2024 (Doc #US46763020, Aug 2020). As businesses look for ways to empower employees to communicate easily, share information, and meet as needed with colleagues, customers, and partners, opportunities to use UCaaS solutions expand around the world.

“Enterprises should consider RingCentral when they need a UCaaS platform that has an emphasis on security and reliability and has been integrated across a broad portfolio of unified communications and collaboration solution elements with access to a platform that comes with numerous integrations to enterprise software and services,” said Denise Lund, research director, Worldwide Telecom and Unified Communications at IDC. “RingCentral offers SMBs good value with its RingCentral Office solution, but the company has also made a significant investment in its free video conferencing and team messaging solution with RingCentral Glip, which will be available in the UK later this year, to address the entry point barrier for any business to easily start their journey to a full cloud communications solution.”

The 2021 IDC MarketScape Reports for Enterprise and SMB highlight a number of key strengths for RingCentral in each segment, but the commonality between the two reports include: 

• Mobility: RingCentral has built its UCaaS solution with mobile as a major use case, an approach that allows it to be considered by organisations that have communications and collaboration needs for employees that have broad roles and may work outside of a set office environment.

• Reliability and Security: RingCentral has a UCaaS platform that places an emphasis on reliability and security, with compliance on major standards (i.e., HIPAA and FINRA) that are important to its customers.

• Integration capabilities: RingCentral offers a broad portfolio of unified communications and collaboration solution elements with access to a platform that comes with various integrations to enterprise software and services.

Carson Hostetter, senior vice president of Worldwide Field Sales at RingCentral said, “We’re observing a major shift in how we work, how we communicate, and how we collaborate. RingCentral is helping enterprise organisations support their workforce to work from anywhere with secure, reliable cloud-based communications. We’re proud to be recognised by the IDC MarketScape report as a Leader in UCaaS. The combination of an enterprise-ready platform that easily integrates with existing enterprise applications and adds capabilities such as team messaging, video meetings, and a cloud phone system is exactly what large organisations need to help their people work productively from anywhere.” 

Faiza Hughell, senior vice president for Small to Medium Business at RingCentral said, “Small and medium-sized businesses are at the heart of every economy in the world. Enabling those organisations to support their people working from anywhere with the same capabilities as larger firms is our business. We support them as their needs change and as they expand their business. We are thrilled that the IDC MarketScape report recognises our capabilities and our commitment to giving these organisations the very best communications capabilities.”

Results are based on the 2021 IDC MarketScape UCaaS reports. For more information on the Enterprise report, please view this complimentary excerpt. For more information on the SMB report, please view this complimentary excerpt.

London, UK — 24 February, 2021 — RingCentral, Inc. (NYSE: RNG), a leading provider of global enterprise cloud communications, video meetings, collaboration and contact centre solutions, today announced the release of in-app calling for Salesforce. The new feature enables sales agents to make, transfer and control phone calls directly from Salesforce, resulting in increased productivity and efficiency and empowering sales agents to drive improved customer engagement. 

With in-app calling, sales associates can easily control and manage all customer calls without ever leaving their browser. Users can select their preferred caller ID number, organise multiple calls as separate tabs on the browser and manage incoming and outgoing calls across devices without having to download any additional software.

“Today’s modern workforce needs the ability to communicate from anywhere using their preferred channels of choice in order to stay connected and efficient,” said Will Moxley, chief product officer at RingCentral. “Our in-app calling for Salesforce brings the capabilities of RingCentral to customer phone conversations directly within a browser, eliminating the need to switch between different apps. Our integration with Salesforce builds on our vision of providing an open platform, where users are empowered to access RingCentral’s cloud-based communications capabilities from within their applications of choice for optimal productivity across their organisation.” 

The capabilities are built with WebRTC technology and are the latest advancements in the growing list of features of the RingCentral for Salesforce integration that now includes: 

• In-app calling: Now using WebRTC technology, users can leverage RingCentral calling capabilities like call controls, inbound and outbound calls without ever navigating away from Salesforce. Users can also switch active calls between different RingCentral endpoints.

• High Velocity Sales (HVS): By powering the telephony side of a sales cadence, sales reps have the ability to “click-to-call” right from their work queue for added convenience.

Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter 2020

• Revenue: Subscriptions revenue of over $306 million increased 34% year over year and accounted for 92% of total revenue. Other revenue of $28 million increased 20% year over year, reflecting higher adoption of RingCentral apps in the current work from anywhere environment. Total revenue was $335 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, up from $253 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, representing 32% growth.
• Operating Income (Loss): GAAP operating loss was ($29) million, compared to a GAAP operating loss of ($20) million in the same period last year, primarily driven by higher share-based compensation and amortization of acquisition intangibles, partially offset by lower costs for acquisition related matters. Non-GAAP operating income was $34 million, compared to a non-GAAP operating income of $24 million in the same period last year.
• Net Income (Loss) Per Share: GAAP net loss per share was ($0.02), compared to ($0.30) in the same period last year. The lower loss was primarily driven by higher mark-to-market gains associated with investments and strategic partnerships and lower costs for acquisition related matters, partially offset by higher share-based compensation, amortization of acquisition intangibles, and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.29, compared to $0.22 per diluted share in the same period last year. The fourth quarters of 2020 and 2019 reflected a 22.5% non-GAAP tax rate. There were no material cashtaxes given our net operating loss carryforwards.
• Cash and Cash Equivalents: Total cash and cash equivalents at the end of the fourth quarter of 2020 was $640 million, which reflects a one-time payment related to a recent strategic partnership, as well as $69 million cash paid for partial repurchase of our 2023 convertible senior notes. This compares to $746 million at the end of the third quarter of 2020.

Financial Results for the Full Year 2020

• Revenue: Subscriptions revenue of $1.1 billion increased 33% and accounted for 92% of total revenue. Other revenue of $97 million increased 15%, reflecting higher adoption of RingCentral apps in the current work from anywhere environment.

• Operating Income (Loss): GAAP operating loss was ($113) million, compared to a GAAP operating loss of ($46) million in 2019, primarily driven by higher share-based compensation and amortization of acquisition intangibles, partially offset by lower costs for acquisition related matters. Non-GAAP operating income was $115 million, compared to a non-GAAP operating income of $83 million in 2019.
• Net Income (Loss) Per Share: GAAP net loss per share was ($0.94), compared to ($0.64) in 2019, primarily driven by higher share-based compensation, amortization of acquisition intangibles, and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, partially offset by higher mark-to-market gains associated with investments and strategic partnerships and lower costs for acquisition related matters. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.98, compared to $0.82 in 2019. 2020 and 2019 reflected a 22.5% non-GAAP tax rate. There were no material cashtaxes given our net operating loss carryforwards.

• Total revenue range of $1.475 to $1.490 billion, representing annual growth of 25% to 26%.
• Subscriptions revenue range of $1.365 to $1.375 billion, representing annual growth of 26% to 27%.
• GAAP operating margin range of (21.7%) to (20.4%).
• Non-GAAP operating margin range of 10.0% to 10.1%.
• Non-GAAP tax rate assumed to be 22.5%. No material cash taxes expected given net operating loss carryforwards.
• Non-GAAP EPS range of $1.20 to $1.24 based on 94.0 to 94.5 million fully diluted shares.
• Share-based compensation range of $410 to $420 million, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs of $65 million, and amortization of acquisition intangibles range of $45 to $48 million.

First Quarter 2021 Guidance:

• Total revenue range of $337 to $340 million, representing annual growth of 26% to 27%.
• Subscriptions revenue range of $311.5 to $313.5 million, representing annual growth of 28% to 29%.
• GAAP operating margin range of (15.1%) to (13.8%).
• Non-GAAP operating margin range of 8.6% to 8.8%.
• Non-GAAP tax rate assumed to be 22.5%. No material cash taxes expected given net operating loss carryforwards.
• Non-GAAP EPS range of $0.24 to $0.25 based on 93.5 million fully diluted shares.
• Share-based compensation range of $66 to $68 million, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs of $16 million, and amortization of acquisition intangibles range of $11 to $12 million.

For a reconciliation of our forecasted non-GAAP operating margin, see “Reconciliation of Forecasted Operating Margin GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures.” We have not reconciled our forecasted non-GAAP EPS to its respective forecasted GAAP measure because we do not provide guidance on it. We do not provide guidance on forecasted GAAP EPS because of the inherent uncertainty and complexity involved in forecasting the intercompany remeasurement gain (loss), gain (loss) associated with investments and strategic partnerships, gain (loss) on early debt conversions, and provision (benefit) from income taxes, which could be significant reconciling items between the non-GAAP and respective GAAP measures. The intercompany remeasurement gain (loss) is affected by the movement in various exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar, which is difficult to predict and subject to constant change. We do not provide guidance on gain (loss) associated with investments and strategic partnerships as it is based on future share prices, which are difficult to predict and subject to inherent uncertainties. We do not provide guidance on gain (loss) on debt early conversions as it is based on future conversion requests, future share prices, and interest rates, which are difficult to predict and are subject to inherent uncertainties. We do not provide guidance on forecasted GAAP tax rates as we do not forecast discrete tax items as they are difficult to predict. The provision (benefit) from income taxes, excluding discrete items, is expected to have an immaterial impact to our GAAP EPS. We utilized a projected long-term tax rate in our computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision. For fiscal 2021, we have determined the projected non-GAAP tax rate to be 22.5%. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and are based on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements are: the future effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of our strategic relationships, such as our relationships with Vodafone Business, Avaya, Atos SE, TELUS, Horizon Telecom, and Stack8; our ability to grow at our expected rate of growth; our ability to add and retain larger and enterprise customers and enter new geographies and markets; our ability to continue to release, and gain customer acceptance of, new and improved versions of our services, including Glip and RingCentral Video; our ability to compete successfully against existing and new competitors; our ability to enter into and maintain relationships with resellers, carriers, channel partners and strategic partners; our ability to successfully and timely integrate, and realize the benefits of any significant acquisition we may make; our ability to manage our expenses and growth; and general market, political, economic, and business conditions, as well as those risks and uncertainties included under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.

All forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to RingCentral as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, to review or confirm analysts’ expectations, or to provide interim reports or updates on the progress of the current financial quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our reported financial results and financial outlook include certain Non-GAAP financial measures, including Non-GAAP subscriptions gross margin, Non-GAAP other gross margin, Non-GAAP operating margin, Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, Non-GAAP net income (loss), Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share, Non-GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, and non-GAAP free cash flow. Non-GAAP subscriptions gross margin is defined as Non-GAAP subscriptions gross profit divided by GAAP subscriptions revenue. Non-GAAP other gross margin is defined as Non-GAAP other gross profit divided by GAAP other revenue. Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations is defined as GAAP income (loss) from operations excluding share-based compensation, amortization of acquisition intangibles, and acquisition related matters including transaction costs, integration costs, restructuring costs, and acquisition-related retention payments, as well as changes in the fair value of contingent consideration obligations. Non-GAAP operating margin is defined as Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations divided by total GAAP revenue. Non-GAAP net income (loss) is defined as GAAP net income (loss) excluding share-based compensation, intercompany remeasurement gains or losses, acquisition related matters, amortization of acquisition intangibles, non-cash interest expense associated with amortization of debt discount and issuance costs related to our convertible senior notes, gain (loss) associated with investments and strategic partnerships, loss on early extinguishment of debt, tax benefit from release of valuation allowance, and the related income tax effect of these adjustments.

Non-GAAP diluted shares outstanding include the impact on shares used in per share calculations of our outstanding capped call transactions. Our outstanding capped call transactions are anti-dilutive in GAAP earnings per share but are expected to mitigate the dilutive effect of our convertible notes and therefore are included in the calculations of non-GAAP diluted shares outstanding.

Non-GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities plus cash paid for repayments of convertible senior notes attributable to debt discount and cash paid for strategic partnerships. Non-GAAP free cash flow is defined as Non-GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities reduced by purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software. We believe information regarding free cash flow provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the strength of liquidity and available cash.

We have included Non-GAAP subscriptions gross margin, Non-GAAP other gross margin, Non-GAAP operating margin, Non-GAAP net income (loss), Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share, Non-GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, and Non-GAAP free cash flow in this press release because they are key measures used by us to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget, and to develop short and long-term operational plans. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses and cash flow items in calculating Non-GAAP subscriptions gross margin, Non-GAAP other gross margin, Non-GAAP operating margin, Non-GAAP net income (loss), Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share, Non-GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, and Non-GAAP free cash flow provide useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business.

Although Non-GAAP subscriptions gross margin, Non-GAAP other gross margin, Non-GAAP operating margin, Non-GAAP net income (loss), Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share, Non-GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, and Non-GAAP free cash flow are frequently used by investors in their evaluations of companies, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered alongside other financial performance measures.

Reconciliations of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.

Other Measures

Our reported results also include our annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, RingCentral Office® annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, mid-market and enterprise annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, enterprise annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, channel partner annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, and net monthly subscriptions dollar retention. We define our annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions as our monthly recurring subscriptions multiplied by 12. Our monthly recurring subscriptions equal the monthly value of all customer recurring charges contracted at the end of a given month. We believe this metric is a leading indicator of our anticipated subscriptions revenue. We calculate our RingCentral Office® annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions in the same manner as we calculate our annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, except that only customer subscriptions from RingCentral Office® and RingCentral customer engagement solutions customers are included when determining monthly recurring subscriptions for the purposes of calculating this key business metric. We calculate mid-market and enterprise annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions in the same manner as we calculate our RingCentral Office® annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, except that only customer subscriptions from customers generating $25,000 or more in annual recurring revenue are included. We calculate enterprise annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions in the same manner as we calculate our RingCentral Office® annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions, except that only customer subscriptions from customers generating $100,000 or more in annual recurring revenue are included. We calculate channel partner annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions in the same manner as we calculate our annualized exit monthly revenue subscriptions, except that only customer subscriptions generated from channel partners are included. We define Dollar Net Change as the quotient of (i) the difference of our Monthly Recurring Subscriptions at the end of a period minus our Monthly Recurring Subscriptions at the beginning of a period minus our Monthly Recurring Subscriptions at the end of the period from new customers we added during the period, (ii) all divided by the number of months in the period. We define our Average Monthly Recurring Subscriptions as the average of the Monthly Recurring Subscriptions at the beginning and end of the measurement period.

London, UK –  10 February 2021 -- RingCentral UK Ltd. and CDW, technology services and solutions provider, today announced that Lush Cosmetics has selected RingCentral® to power its business communications across its global workforce and enable them to better engage with their customers.

RingCentral UK Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of RingCentral, Inc. (NYSE: RNG), a leading provider of global enterprise cloud communications, video meetings, collaboration, and contact center solutions.

As a growing organisation, Lush needed a communications solution capable of scaling to meet the increasing demands of their business. They worked with their longstanding IT services and solutions partner, CDW, to identify the right cloud communications solution.

According to Gavin Berwitz, Commercial Sales Director at CDW, “CDW worked as a trusted partner, assisting with capturing Lush’s requirements, providing market insights around partner differentiation, and accelerating the evaluation process. RingCentral Office® is the industry-leading solution for cloud unified communications, and is best positioned to empower Lush’s employees to deliver the best possible service to their customers and do what they do best – create innovative and ethical products. Lush is an iconic brand and a great British retail success story, and we’re proud to help them become a more resilient and adaptable business, now and far into the future.”

With multimodal capabilities including team messaging, video meetings, and a cloud phone system, RingCentral Office enables Lush employees—who are increasingly working remotely—to communicate with customers and peers across multiple channels, from any location, and on any device.

Brad Candy, Technical Operations Manager at Lush, explains, “The feedback from our team has already been hugely positive. There’s a sense of relief that we’ve now moved from the clunkiness of an on-premise system to a next-generation cloud communications solution. Updates that used to take us hours to complete previously can now be done in a matter of minutes with RingCentral. The transition was much easier than expected.”

Steve Rafferty, UK Managing Director at RingCentral adds, “We’re delighted to be working with such a well-loved global cosmetics brand, and we’re excited to see where our partnership will go in 2021. We understand that with scale comes the need for flexible solutions that not only provide robust collaboration features, but are compatible with existing company systems. We spent a lot of time customizing our offering to Lush’s specific requirements to ensure their employees be as productive as possible and engage with customers effectively.”
