2020 Updated Business Outlook

Progress provides the following updated guidance for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2020 and the fiscal second quarter ending May 31, 2020, which reflects the expected impact of COVID-19 and changes in currency translation:

*The FY2020 projected GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.96 to $2.01 shown in the January 16, 2020 press release was incorrect, and should have been $1.87 to $1.91. The FY2020 projected GAAP effective tax rate of 17% shown in the January 16, 2020 press release was incorrect, and should have been 21%.

   
  Q2 2020 Guidance

  Q2 2020
Non-GAAP
Revenue $93 - $99   $95 - $101
Diluted earnings per share $0.36 - $0.40   $0.60 - $0.64
       

The expected economic impact of the COVID-19 crisis on our current 2020 business outlook is a reduction of approximately $10 to $13 million on GAAP and non-GAAP revenue, and approximately $0.06 to $0.08 on GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share.

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 $7 million on GAAP and non-GAAP revenue, and $0.06 on GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share. The expected negative currency translation impact on Progress' fiscal Q2 2020 business outlook compared to 2019 exchange rates is approximately $2.5 million on GAAP and non-GAAP revenue, and $0.02 on GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share. To the extent that there are changes in exchange rates versus the current environment, this may have an impact on Progress' business outlook.
