Third Quarter 2022 Results

Revenue was $788 million in the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 3% as compared to revenue of $763 million in the third quarter of 2021. Revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was positively impacted by new customer acquisitions and growing customer spend in our Multicloud Services and Apps & Cross Platform segments. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased 5% in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021.

Revenue from our Core Segments (“Core Revenue”), comprised of Multicloud Services and Apps & Cross Platform, increased 5% on an actual basis and 7% on a constant currency basis, in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021.

Impairment of goodwill and impairment of assets were $405 million and $59 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2022. These impairments reflect a sustained decrease in our market capitalization and lowered projected operating results primarily due to product mix shifts and market concerns related to inflation, supply chain disruption issues and other macroeconomic factors. There were no such impairments in the third quarter of 2021.

Loss from operations was $(477) million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to loss from operations of $(3) million in the third quarter of 2021.

Net loss was $(512) million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to net loss of $(35) million in the third quarter of 2021.

Net loss per diluted share was $(2.43) in the third quarter of 2022, compared to net loss per diluted share of $(0.17) in the third quarter of 2021.

Non-GAAP Operating Profit was $80 million in the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of 36% compared to $124 million in the third quarter of 2021.

Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share was $0.10 in the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of 60% as compared to Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share of $0.25 in the third quarter of 2021.

Capital expenditures were $31 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $35 million in the third quarter of 2021.

As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $249 million with no balance outstanding on our Revolving Credit Facility.

Financial Outlook

Rackspace Technology is providing guidance as follows:

¹ Non-GAAP Other Income (Expense) is only expected to include interest expense.

Definitions of non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to the most directly comparable measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) are provided in subsequent sections of this press release narrative and supplemental schedules. Rackspace Technology has not reconciled Non-GAAP Operating Profit, Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share, Non-GAAP Other Income (Expense) or Non-GAAP Tax Expense Rate guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because it does not provide guidance on GAAP net income (loss) or the reconciling items between these Non-GAAP measures and GAAP net income (loss) as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, certain of these items, such as share-based compensation expense. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort. With respect to Non-GAAP Operating Profit, Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share, Non-GAAP Other Income (Expense) and Non-GAAP Tax Expense Rate guidance, adjustments in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges and costs excluded from these Non-GAAP measures in prior periods, but the impact of such adjustments could be significant.
