Additional Highlights
Announced in August 2023 the issuance of $400 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2030 (the “2030 Senior Notes”) in a private offering. The 2030 Senior Notes are senior unsecured and bear interest at a rate of 8.5% per annum. We intend to use the net proceeds from the 2030 Senior Notes to repurchase a portion of our outstanding convertible senior notes and the remainder of the net proceeds, if any, for general corporate purposes.
Announced in August 2023 we had entered into individual, privately negotiated repurchase transactions with certain holders of our 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Convertible Notes”) and 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Convertible Notes”). We paid $154 million in cash to repurchase approximately $166 million in aggregate principal of the 2025 and 2026 Convertible Notes. The transaction was funded with proceeds from the August 2023 issuance of the 2030 Senior Notes.
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, 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 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 2023, 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.
We have not reconciled adjusted, unlevered free cash flow guidance to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities because we do not provide guidance on the reconciling items between net cash provided by (used in) operating activities and adjusted, unlevered free cash flow due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, these items. Accordingly, a reconciliation of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to adjusted, unlevered free cash flow guidance is not available without unreasonable effort.

RingCentral, is a communications tech company whose software packages offer solutions to the wide range of communications issues faced in the modern business office. At base, RingCentral’s products allow for users to route phone lines, video calling, screen sharing, call forwarding, and most other telecom features through the office’s centralized computer server, making it easier to manage business telecommunications. In addition, RingCentral’s packages are compatible numerous popular office applications, such as Outlook, Salesforce, and Google Docs, and are available on desktop computers as well as handheld tablet and smartphone devices.
RingCentral saw its shares surge during the pandemic and lockdown periods of 2020, when forced work-from-home put a premium value on business communication systems – and investors, seeking any silver lining at the time, pushed the stock prices up and up. Since then, however, the return to a more normal operating environment has shown that many of these companies are now facing the consequences of overinflated share prices and their recent overextended spending. RNG shares, in that context, are down 82% this year.
Even though the company’s shares are down, RingCentral has continued to see gains this year at both the top and bottom lines. In the last quarter reported, 3Q22, RNG had total revenues of $509 million, up 23% year-over-year. At the bottom line, the company’s non-GAAP diluted EPS was reported as 55 cents, up 52% from the 36 cents shown in the year-ago period. Both the revenue and earnings figures beat the forecasts. The wins were driven by a strong increase in ARR (annualized recurring revenue), which rose 25% y/y to reach $2.05 billion.
Morgan Stanley analyst Meta Marshall, in her coverage of RingCentral, is cognizant of the company’s long share price decline 2022, but sees 'near term upside.'
“We think the market is missing an opportunity as free cash flow from the company improves. RNG is currently trading at <2x24e Revenue and ~11x24e P/E, well below software peers. We appreciate the bear cases on RNG. However, at current levels we think RNG's valuation is reflecting more bear case scenarios on the top line and ignoring cash flow potential,” Marshall explained.
Quantifying RingCentral’s prospects, Marshall rates the stock an Overweight (i.e. Buy), with a $50 price target that indicates her confidence in a 47% upside by this time next year. (To watch Marshall’s track record, click here)
Tech-oriented companies are known for attracting plenty of Wall Street analyst attention, and RingCentral has no fewer than 21 recent analyst reviews on record. They break down 15 to 6 in favor of the Buys over Holds, for a Moderate Buy analyst consensus view. The shares boast an average price target of $51.47, which implies ~52% one-year gain from the current trading price of $33.96. (See RNG stock forecast on TipRanks)
