NETSCOUT SYSTEMS, INC. (NASDAQ: NTCT), a leading provider of cybersecurity, service assurance, and business analytics solutions, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.
“We exceeded our top and bottom-line objectives for our fourth quarter and delivered a solid performance in fiscal year 2022 on multiple fronts,” stated Anil Singhal, NETSCOUT’s president and chief executive officer. “Our new ‘NETSCOUT without Borders’ strategy helped increase our existing customer business, forge new customer relationships, and advance our cybersecurity agenda. As a result, we grew product and total revenues, enhanced margins, increased EPS, and generated strong free cash flow in fiscal year 2022. On behalf of NETSCOUT, I would like to thank our employees, customers, and other stakeholders who contributed to our success in the period.
“For fiscal year 2023, we remain committed to further extending our revenue growth. At the same time, we also aim to further improve our diluted EPS performance and generate solid free cash flow. We expect several long-term technology trends, including the evolving cybersecurity threat landscape, digital transformation through cloud migration, and the advancement of 5G networks, to produce lasting tailwinds for NETSCOUT. As ‘Guardians of the Connected World,’ we remain well-positioned to help our customers navigate these changes and thrive in today’s dynamic digital landscape.
“Given our prospects, our Board of Directors has authorized the use of an accelerated share repurchase vehicle to repurchase up to $150 million of our common stock. We plan to fund this program using a portion of our cash balance and to initiate this transaction in our first quarter of fiscal year 2023. We anticipate that this transaction will utilize the majority of the remaining capacity on our previously announced 25 million share repurchase program. Accordingly, our Board also has authorized a new share repurchase program allowing for the repurchase of an additional 25 million shares of our common stock with no definitive time frame for execution,” concluded Singhal.
Q4 FY22 Financial Results
Total revenue (GAAP and non-GAAP) for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022 was $191.2 million, compared with $213.4 million (GAAP and non-GAAP) in the same quarter one year ago. A reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results is included in the financial tables below.

Full Year FY22 Financial Results
Financial Outlook
The Company’s financial outlook for fiscal year 2023 is as follows:
New Share Repurchase Authorization
On May 3, 2022, NETSCOUT’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program allowing for the repurchase of 25 million shares of the Company’s common stock with no definitive time for execution. This new authorization is incremental to the Company’s current share repurchase authorization, which allows for the repurchase of 25 million shares of the Company’s common stock in total and has a remaining repurchase capacity of approximately 5.8 million shares as of today.
Accelerated Share Repurchase Agreement
NETSCOUT plans to enter into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement in its first quarter of fiscal year 2023 to repurchase up to $150 million of the Company’s common stock. The Company plans to fund the ASR using a portion of its cash balance. The Company also plans to utilize the majority of the remaining repurchase capacity of 5.8 million shares on its existing 25 million share repurchase plan, as described above, to initiate the ASR in the first quarter of its fiscal year 2023.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information:
To supplement the financial measures presented in NETSCOUT’s press release in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), NETSCOUT also reports the following non-GAAP measures: non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share (diluted) and non-GAAP earnings before interest and other expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) from operations. Non-GAAP revenue eliminates the GAAP effects of acquisitions by adding back revenue related to deferred revenue revaluation. Non-GAAP gross profit includes the aforementioned revenue adjustments and also removes expenses related to the amortization of acquired intangible assets, share based compensation, and acquisition-related depreciation. Non-GAAP income from operations includes the aforementioned adjustments and also removes business development and integration expense, compensation for post-combination services, legal expenses related to a civil judgment, restructuring charges, and transitional service agreement expenses. Non-GAAP net income includes the foregoing adjustments related to non-GAAP income from operations, and also removes loss on extinguishment of debt and change in fair value of contingent consideration, net of related income tax effects. Non-GAAP EBITDA from operations includes the aforementioned items related to non-GAAP income from operations and also removes non-acquisition related depreciation expense. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included in the attached tables within this press release.
These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with GAAP, should not be considered an alternative for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP (revenue, gross profit, operating margin, net income, and diluted net income per share), and may have limitations because they do not reflect all NETSCOUT’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should only be used to evaluate NETSCOUT’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of non-GAAP information is not meant to be considered superior to, in isolation from, or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. NETSCOUT believes these non-GAAP financial measures will enhance the reader’s overall understanding of NETSCOUT’s current financial performance and NETSCOUT’s prospects for the future by providing a higher degree of transparency for certain financial measures and providing a level of disclosure that helps investors understand how the Company plans and measures its own business. NETSCOUT believes that providing these non-GAAP measures affords investors a view of NETSCOUT’s operating results that may be more easily compared to peer companies and also enables investors to consider NETSCOUT’s operating results on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis during and following the integration period of NETSCOUT’s acquisitions. Presenting the GAAP measures on their own, without the supplemental non-GAAP disclosures, might not be indicative of NETSCOUT’s core operating results. Furthermore, NETSCOUT believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding present and future business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations.
NETSCOUT management regularly uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and to make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors that management uses in planning and forecasting.
