MicroStrategy® (Nasdaq: MSTR), the largest independent publicly-traded business intelligence company, today announced financial results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 (the third quarter of its 2020 fiscal year).
“MicroStrategy delivered one of its stronger quarters in years, with meaningful growth in both product licenses and deferred subscription services revenues and a significant improvement in non-GAAP operating margin. We believe our performance demonstrates growing customer demand for scalable, flexible enterprise-grade solutions that enable better business performance through data-driven decisions,” said Michael J. Saylor, CEO, MicroStrategy Incorporated.
“Our recent decision to make bitcoin our primary treasury reserve asset is the latest example of MicroStrategy’s embrace of virtual technologies. The purchase of $425 million of bitcoin during the quarter offers the possibility of greater return potential for investors than holding such balances in cash and has increased the overall visibility of MicroStrategy in the market. We believe our proactive management of our balance sheet, together with our improved revenue and profitability performance, can serve as catalysts to generate substantial long-term value for our shareholders,” continued Mr. Saylor.
Third Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights
- Revenues: Total revenues for the third quarter of 2020 were $127.4 million, a 6.4% increase, or a 5.9% increase on a non-GAAP constant currency basis, compared to the third quarter of 2019. Product licenses and subscription services revenues for the third quarter of 2020 were $37.9 million, a 41.0% increase, or a 41.9% increase on a non-GAAP constant currency basis, compared to the third quarter of 2019. Product support revenues for the third quarter of 2020 were $71.4 million, a 2.1% decrease, or a 3.0% decrease on a non-GAAP constant currency basis, compared to the third quarter of 2019. Other services revenues for the third quarter of 2020 were $18.2 million, an 8.8% decrease, or a 10.2% decrease on a non-GAAP constant currency basis, compared to the third quarter of 2019.
- Gross Profit: Gross profit for the third quarter of 2020 was $105.7 million, representing an 82.9% gross margin, compared to a gross margin of 80.1% in the third quarter of 2019.
- Operating Expenses: Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $125.9 million, a 38.0% increase compared to the third quarter of 2019. Beginning in the third quarter of 2020, operating expenses include impairment losses on our digital assets, which were $44.2 million during the third quarter of 2020.
- (Loss) Income from Operations: Loss from operations for the third quarter of 2020 was $20.3 million versus income from operations of $4.6 million for the third quarter of 2019. Non-GAAP income from operations, which excludes share-based compensation expense and impairment losses and gains on sale from intangible assets, which include digital assets, was $26.5 million for the third quarter of 2020 versus $6.4 million for the third quarter of 2019.
- Net (Loss) Income: Net loss for the third quarter of 2020 was $14.2 million, or $1.48 per share on a diluted basis, as compared to net income of $9.7 million, or $0.94 per share on a diluted basis, for the third quarter of 2019. Non-GAAP net income, which excludes share-based compensation expense and impairment losses and gains on sale from intangible assets, which include digital assets, was $19.8 million, or $2.06 per share on a non-GAAP diluted basis, for the third quarter of 2020, as compared to non-GAAP net income of $11.6 million, or $1.13 per share on a non-GAAP diluted basis, for the third quarter of 2019.
- Cash and Short-term Investments: As of September 30, 2020, MicroStrategy had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $52.7 million, as compared to $565.6 million as of December 31, 2019, a decrease of $513.0 million.
- Digital Assets: As of September 30, 2020, the carrying value of MicroStrategy’s digital assets (comprised solely of bitcoin) was $380.8 million, which reflects cumulative impairments of $44.2 million since acquisition. MicroStrategy accounts for its digital assets as indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are initially recorded at cost. Subsequently, they are measured at cost, net of any impairment losses incurred since acquisition. MicroStrategy determines the fair value of its bitcoin based on quoted (unadjusted) prices on the active exchange that MicroStrategy has determined is its principal market for bitcoin. MicroStrategy considers the lowest price of one bitcoin quoted on the active exchange at any time since acquiring the specific bitcoin. If the carrying value of a bitcoin exceeds that lowest price, an impairment loss has occurred with respect to that bitcoin in the amount equal to the difference between its carrying value and such lowest price. Impairment losses are recognized as “Digital asset impairment losses” in MicroStrategy’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2020, the average cost and average carrying value of MicroStrategy’s bitcoin were approximately $11,111 and $9,954, respectively. As of October 26, 2020, at 4:00 p.m. EDT, MicroStrategy had 38,250 bitcoins and the market price of one bitcoin in the principal market was approximately $13,023.
The tables at the end of this press release include a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. An explanation of non-GAAP financial measures is also included under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. Additional non-GAAP financial measures are included in our “3Q 2020 Earnings Presentation” presentation, which will be available under the “Events” section on MicroStrategy’s investor relations website at https://ir.microstrategy.com/events-presentations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
MicroStrategy is providing supplemental financial measures for (i) non-GAAP income (loss) from operations that excludes the impact of share-based compensation expense and impairment losses and gains on sale from intangible assets, which include its digital assets, (ii) non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share that exclude the impact of share-based compensation expense and impairment losses and gains on sale from intangible assets, which include its digital assets and the sale of its Voice.com domain name in the second quarter of 2019 (the “Domain Name Sale”), and (iii) non-GAAP constant currency revenues that exclude foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. These supplemental financial measures are not measurements of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and, as a result, these supplemental financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to help understand, manage, and evaluate business performance and to help make operating decisions.
MicroStrategy believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful to investors and analysts in comparing its performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis. The first supplemental financial measure excludes (i) a significant non-cash expense that MicroStrategy believes is not reflective of its general business performance, and for which the accounting requires management judgment and the resulting share-based compensation expense could vary significantly in comparison to other companies and (ii) significant impairment losses and gains on sale from intangible assets, which include MicroStrategy’s bitcoin. The second set of supplemental financial measures excludes the impact of (i) share-based compensation expense and (ii) impairment losses and gains on sale from intangible assets, which include MicroStrategy’s bitcoin and the Domain Name Sale, which was outside of MicroStrategy’s normal business operations. The third set of supplemental financial measures excludes changes resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates so that results may be compared to the same period in the prior year on a non-GAAP constant currency basis. MicroStrategy believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures can also facilitate comparison of MicroStrategy’s operating results to those of its competitors.
Treasury Management Strategy and Bitcoin Acquisitions
In July 2020, MicroStrategy announced a capital allocation strategy pursuant to which it intended to use capital in excess of working capital requirements to (i) return up to $250.0 million to its stockholders over a 12-month period and (ii) invest up to another $250.0 million during the same period in one or more alternative investments or assets, which may include stocks, bonds, commodities such as gold, digital assets such as bitcoin, or other asset types. In August 2020, MicroStrategy’s Board of Directors authorized the investment of up to $250.0 million in bitcoin. In September 2020, MicroStrategy’s Board of Directors adopted a new Treasury Reserve Policy that updated MicroStrategy’s treasury management and capital allocation strategies, under which its treasury reserve assets will consist of (i) cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments (“Cash Assets”) held by MicroStrategy that exceed working capital requirements and (ii) bitcoin held by MicroStrategy, with bitcoin serving as the primary treasury reserve asset on an ongoing basis, subject to market conditions and anticipated needs of the business for Cash Assets. As part of these treasury management and capital allocation strategies, MicroStrategy purchased a total of approximately 38,250 bitcoins at an aggregate purchase price of $425.0 million in the third quarter of 2020 for an average purchase price of approximately $11,111 per bitcoin. As a result of the Treasury Reserve Policy, in future periods, MicroStrategy may purchase additional bitcoins and increase its overall holdings of bitcoin or sell its bitcoins and decrease its overall holdings of bitcoin.
Tender Offer
In August 2020, MicroStrategy announced that it commenced a “modified Dutch Auction” tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase up to $250.0 million in value of shares of its issued and outstanding class A common stock, or such lesser number of shares as are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, at a price not greater than $140.00 nor less than $122.00 per share. The Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 10, 2020. During the third quarter of 2020, MicroStrategy repurchased an aggregate of 432,313 shares of its class A common stock through the Offer at a price of $140.00 per share for an aggregate cost of $61.3 million, inclusive of $0.8 million in certain fees and expenses related to the Offer. As of September 30, 2020, MicroStrategy had 7.3 million shares of class A common stock and 2.0 million shares of class B common stock outstanding.
