AppFolio, Inc. (NASDAQ:APPF) Files An 8-K Regulation FD DisclosureItem 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

In our May 5, 2017 first quarter financial results press release, and during our May 8, 2017 first quarter earnings conference call, we announced that investors and analysts are invited to submit questions to management via our website. These statements were made as part of our newly adopted policy regarding public disclosure of corporate information in connection with questions received from investors and analysts (the “Corporate Disclosure Policy” or the “Policy”).
Corporate Disclosure Policy – Questions and Answers
to the Policy, we encourage investors and analysts to submit their questions to management via the Investor Q&A form located on the “Investor Overview” section of our website located at www.appfolioinc.com. We intend to provide written responses to investor and analyst questions on a periodic basis.
We currently intend to provide responses to questions properly submitted to us to the Policy by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K. However, in the future, we may announce our intention to provide responses to questions, as well as other corporate information, through other channels of distribution, including through disclosure on our website.
The following answers respond to select questions received to the Policy through May 9, 2017:
Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate
Question:
Could you please update investors on the trends in your dollar-based net expansion rate (“DBNE”)?
Company Response:
As of December 31, 2016, our annual DBNE was 113% for our property manager customers, and 99% for our law firm customers. This compares to 115% and 99%, respectively, as of December 31, 2015.
Our ability to maintain and grow relationships with our existing customers can be measured by our annual DBNE for a given fiscal year, which compares the revenue generated from the sale of our core solutions and Value+ services in that year (e.g., 2016) and the preceding year, or base year (e.g., 2015), from our base customers. For this purpose, we establish our base customers by determining the customers from which we generated revenues during the month of December in the year preceding the base year (e.g., December 2014). We then calculate our annual DBNE for a given fiscal year by dividing (x) revenue generated from the sale of our core solutions and Value+ services in the given fiscal year (e.g., 2016) from our base customers by (y) revenue generated from the sale of our core solutions and Value+ services in the base year (e.g., 2015) from our base customers.
Revenue by Product
Question:
When do you expect to begin to break out MyCase revenue from AppFolio Property Manager revenue?
Company Response:
We currently expect to break out MyCase revenue once it exceeds 10% of total consolidated revenue.
Annual Guidance Update
Question:
Why did you not raise your annual guidance after you beat street consensus for the first quarter of 2017 by over one million dollars?
Company Response:
We have historically provided guidance to the investment community for consolidated full year revenue within a range. As we progress through the remainder of the year, we will consider revising our full year revenue outlook as appropriate. However, we assume no obligation to revise or update prior guidance, or to provide future guidance, with respect to any particular financial measure or time period.
