2020 Business Outlook

Progress provides the following guidance for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2020 and for the fiscal first quarter ending February 29, 2020, together with actual results for the same periods in the fiscal year ending November 30, 2019:

	FY 2019 Actual										FY 2020 Guidance
(In millions, except percentages and per share amounts)	FY 2019 GAAP					FY 2019 Non-GAAP					FY 2020 GAAP				FY 2020 Non-GAAP
Revenue	$	413				$	432				$440 - $447				$448 - $455
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.58				$	2.69				$1.96 - $2.01				$2.87 - $2.92
Operating margin	10			%		38			%			27	%			39	%
Cash from operations (GAAP) / Adjusted free cash flow (Non-GAAP)	$	128				$	129				$149 - $154				$145 - $150
Effective tax rate	7		%			19		%			17%					20	%

 

	Q1 2019 Actual								Q1 2020 Guidance
(In millions, except per share amounts)	Q1 2019 GAAP				Q1 2019 Non-GAAP				Q1 2020 GAAP		Q1 2020 Non-GAAP
Revenue	$	90			$	90			$106 - $109		$110 - $113
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.21			$	0.50			$0.40 - $0.42		$0.69 - $0.71

Based on current exchange rates, the expected negative currency translation impact on Progress' fiscal year 2020 business outlook compared to 2019 exchange rates is approximately $0.6 million on GAAP and non-GAAP revenue. The expected negative currency translation impact on Progress' fiscal Q1 2020 business outlook compared to 2019 exchange rates on GAAP and non-GAAP revenue is approximately $0.5 million. The expected currency translation impact on GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share for fiscal year 2020 and fiscal Q1 2020 is not material. To the extent that there are changes in exchange rates versus the current environment, this may have an impact on Progress' business outlook.

Share Repurchase Program

Progress also announced today that its Board of Directors has increased the total share repurchase authorization from the $75 million remaining on the previous authorization to $250 million.
