SAN FRANCISCO, July 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Twitter, Inc.
(NYSE: TWTR) today announced financial results for its second
quarter 2019.
"Health remains our top priority and we are proud of the work we
did in Q2. Our focus was on ensuring that our rules, and how we
enforce them, are easy to understand. We also continued our work to
proactively identify and address malicious behavior, resulting in
an 18% drop in reports of spammy or suspicious behavior across all
Tweet detail pages, which show the replies to any given Tweet
on our service," said Jack Dorsey,
Twitter's CEO. "In addition, we continued to leverage machine
learning to deliver more relevant content, driving increased usage
of Twitter on a daily basis, with mDAU up 14% year-over-year."
"We continued to deliver solid performance in Q2, with revenue
up 20% year-over-year on a constant currency basis driven by
strength in the US," said Ned Segal,
Twitter's CFO. "Focusing on our most important ad products and
delivering high performing ads will help advertisers launch
something new and connect with what's happening on Twitter."

A Note About Metrics
Twitter defines monetizable daily
active usage or users (mDAU) as Twitter users who logged in or were
otherwise authenticated and accessed Twitter on any given day
through twitter.com or Twitter applications that are able to show
ads. Average mDAU for a period represents the number of mDAU on
each day of such period divided by the number of days for such
period. Changes in mDAU are a measure of changes in the size of our
daily logged in or otherwise authenticated active user base. To
calculate the year-over-year change in mDAU, we subtract the
average mDAU for the three months ended in the previous year from
the average mDAU for the same three months ended in the current
year and divide the result by the average mDAU for the three months
ended in the previous year. Additionally, our calculation of mDAU
is not based on any standardized industry methodology and is not
necessarily calculated in the same manner or comparable to
similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
The numbers of active users presented in our earnings materials
are based on internal company data. While these numbers are based
on what we believe to be reasonable estimates for the applicable
period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring
usage and user engagement across our large user base around the
world. Furthermore, our metrics may be impacted by our information
quality efforts, which are our overall efforts to reduce malicious
activity on the service, inclusive of spam, malicious automation,
and fake accounts. For example, there are a number of false or spam
accounts in existence on our platform. We have performed an
internal review of a sample of accounts and estimate that the
average of false or spam accounts during the second quarter of 2019
represented fewer than 5% of our mDAU during the quarter. The false
or spam accounts for a period represents the average of false or
spam accounts in the samples during each monthly analysis period
during the quarter. In making this
determination, we applied significant judgment, so our
estimation of false or spam accounts may not accurately represent
the actual number of such accounts, and the actual number of false
or spam accounts could be higher than we have estimated. We are
continually seeking to improve our ability to estimate the total
number of spam accounts and eliminate them from the calculation of
our active users, and have made improvements in our spam detection
capabilities that have resulted in the suspension of a large number
of spam, malicious automation and fake accounts. We intend to
continue to make such improvements. After we determine an account
is spam, malicious automation or fake, we stop counting it in our
mDAU, or other related metrics. We also treat multiple accounts
held by a single person or organization as multiple users for
purposes of calculating our active users because we permit people
and organizations to have more than one account. Additionally, some
accounts used by organizations are used by many people within the
organization. As such, the calculations of our active users may not
accurately reflect the actual number of people or organizations
using our platform.
In addition, our data regarding user geographic location for
purposes of reporting the geographic location of our mDAU is based
on the IP address or phone number associated with the account when
a user initially registered the account on Twitter. The IP address
or phone number may not always accurately reflect a user's actual
location at the time such user engaged with our platform. For
example, a mobile user may appear to be accessing Twitter from the
location of the proxy server that the user connects to rather than
from a user's actual location.
We regularly review and may adjust our processes for calculating
our internal metrics to improve their accuracy. Our measures of
user growth and user engagement may differ from estimates published
by third parties or from similarly-titled metrics of our
competitors due to differences in methodology.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future
events or Twitter's future financial or operating performance. In
some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because
they contain words such as "may," "will," "should," "expects,"
"plans," "anticipates," "going to," "could," "intends," "target,"
"projects," "contemplates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts,"
"potential," or "continue," or the negative of these words or other
similar terms or expressions that concern Twitter's expectations,
strategy, priorities, plans, or intentions. Forward-looking
statements in this press release include, but are not limited to,
statements regarding Twitter's future financial and operating
performance, including its outlook, guidance and statements
regarding future disclosures; Twitter's expectations regarding its
strategies, product, and business plans, including its priorities,
product initiatives, and product experiments; Twitter's strategies
for improving the health of the platform and improving safety; and
Twitter's strategies and expectations for increasing audience
growth, including delivering more relevant content, and advertiser
value. Twitter's expectations and beliefs regarding these matters
may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those projected. These risks include the
possibility that: Twitter's user base and engagement do not grow or
decline; Twitter's strategies, priorities, or plans take longer to
execute than anticipated; Twitter's new products and product
features do not meet expectations; advertisers reduce or
discontinue their spending on Twitter; data partners reduce or
discontinue their purchases of data licenses from Twitter; and
Twitter experiences expenses that exceed its expectations. The
forward-looking statements contained in this press release are also
subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those more
fully described in Twitter's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2018,
and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 2019, each filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Additional information will
also be set forth in Twitter's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The
forward-looking statements in this press release are based on
information available to Twitter as of the date hereof, and Twitter
disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements,
except as required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Twitter's
financial information presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America, or GAAP, Twitter considers certain
financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP,
including revenues excluding foreign exchange effect, which we
refer to as on a constant currency basis, non-GAAP income before
income taxes, non-GAAP provision (benefit) for income taxes,
non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted net income per share,
adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP costs and expenses, adjusted net
income, adjusted net margin, adjusted diluted net income per share,
and adjusted free cash flow. In order to present revenues on a
constant currency basis for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019, Twitter translated the applicable
measure using the prior year's monthly exchange rates for its
settlement currencies other than the US dollar. Twitter defines
non-GAAP income before income taxes as income before income taxes
adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization
of acquired intangible assets, non-cash interest expense related to
convertible notes, non-cash expense related to acquisitions,
impairment (gain) on investments in privately-held companies,
restructuring charges and one-time nonrecurring gain, if any;
Twitter defines non-GAAP provision (benefit) for income taxes as
the current and deferred income tax expense commensurate with the
non-GAAP measure of profitability using the estimated annual
effective tax rate, which is dependent on the jurisdictional mix of
earnings; and Twitter defines non-GAAP net income as net income
adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, amortization
of acquired intangible assets, non-cash interest expense related to
convertible notes, non-cash expense related to acquisitions,
impairment (gain) on investments in privately-held companies,
restructuring charges and one-time nonrecurring gain, if any, and
adjustment to income tax expense based on the non-GAAP measure of
profitability using the estimated annual effective tax rate, which
is dependent on the jurisdictional mix of earnings. Non-GAAP
diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net
income by non-GAAP diluted share count. Non-GAAP diluted share
count is GAAP basic share count plus potential common stock
instruments such as stock options, RSUs, shares to be purchased
under employee stock purchase plans, unvested restricted stock, the
conversion feature of convertible senior notes, and warrants.
Twitter defines adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude
stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization
expense, interest and other expense, net, provision (benefit) for
income taxes, restructuring charges and one-time nonrecurring gain,
if any. Twitter defines non-GAAP costs and expenses as total costs
and expenses adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense,
amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-cash expense
related to acquisitions, restructuring charges and one-time
nonrecurring gain, if any. We have presented adjusted net
income solely to exclude the benefit related to the
establishment of deferred tax assets for corporate structuring for
certain geographies in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and to the release of a deferred
tax asset valuation allowance in the three and six months
ended June 30, 2018, and no other
adjustments were made in the calculation of these measures.
Adjusted net margin is calculated by dividing adjusted net income
by GAAP revenue. Adjusted diluted net income per share is
calculated by dividing adjusted net income by GAAP diluted
share count. Adjusted free cash flow is GAAP net cash provided by
operating activities less capital expenditures (i.e., purchases of
property and equipment including equipment purchases that were
financed through finance leases, less proceeds received from the
disposition of property and equipment).
Twitter is presenting these non-GAAP financial measures to
assist investors in seeing Twitter's operating results through the
eyes of management, and because it believes that these measures
provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing
Twitter's core business operating results over multiple periods
with other companies in its industry.
Twitter believes that revenues excluding foreign exchange
effect, non-GAAP income before income taxes, non-GAAP provision
(benefit) for income taxes, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted
net income per share, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP costs and expenses,
adjusted net income, adjusted net margin, and adjusted dilutive net
income per share provide useful information about its operating
results, enhance the overall understanding of Twitter's past
performance and future prospects, and allow for greater
transparency with respect to key metrics used by Twitter's
management in its financial and operational decision-making.
Twitter uses these measures to establish budgets and operational
goals for managing its business and evaluating its performance.
Twitter believes that revenues on a constant currency basis is a
useful metric that facilitates comparison to its historical
performance. Twitter believes that non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP
diluted net income per share, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP costs and
expenses, adjusted net income, adjusted net margin, and adjusted
diluted net income per share help identify underlying trends
in its business that could otherwise be masked by expenses and
one-time gains or charges that it excludes in non-GAAP net income,
non-GAAP diluted net income per share, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP
costs and expenses, adjusted net income, adjusted net margin, and
adjusted diluted net income per share, or the effect of the
one-time benefits related to the establishment of deferred tax
assets or the release of deferred tax asset valuation allowance
described above, which are non-operating benefits. In addition,
Twitter believes that adjusted free cash flow provides useful
information to management and investors about the amount of cash
from operations and that it is typically a more conservative
measure of cash flows. However, adjusted free cash flow does not
necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and is
not necessarily a measure of its ability to fund its cash
needs.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in
isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information
prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures
are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP
and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures
presented by other companies.

(1) The non-GAAP benefit from income
taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 includes
benefits of $1.08 billion and $1.21 billion, respectively, from the
establishment of deferred
tax assets from intra-entity transfers of intangible
assets.
|
|
(2) Gives
effect to potential common stock instruments such as stock options,
RSUs, shares to be issued under ESPP, unvested restricted stocks
and warrants. There is no dilutive effect of the notes or the
related hedge and warrant transactions.
|
|
(3) GAAP dilutive shares are the same
as non-GAAP dilutive shares for the three and six months ended June
30, 2019 and 2018.
|
|
(4) The
benefit from deferred tax asset in the three and six months ended
June 30, 2019 is primarily related to the establishment of deferred
tax assets from intra-entity transfers of intangible assets. The
benefit from deferred tax asset in the three and six months ended
June 30, 2018 is primarily due to a tax benefit primarily driven by
the release of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance for
Brazil.
