ITEM 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The information contained in this Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

On February 22, 2022, OneSpan Inc. (OneSpan) issued a press release providing a financial update for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021. The full text of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The press release contained non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation G. For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a registrant’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the issuer; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented.

The press release contained a reference to adjusted EBITDA and provided a reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA, which is net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, long-term incentive compensation, and certain non-recurring items, including non-routine shareholder matters, and one-time strategic action costs is computed by adding back net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation expense, amortization expense, long-term incentive compensation expense, and certain non-recurring items to net income as reported.

The press release contained a reference to Non-GAAP Net Income and provided a reconciliation of net income to Non-GAAP Net Income. Non-GAAP Net Income is computed by adding back long-term incentive compensation expense, amortization expense, certain non-recurring items and the corresponding tax impact of the adjustments.

The press release also contained a reference to Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share. Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share is the same as Non-GAAP Net Income described above on a fully diluted per share basis.

1 Recurring revenue is comprised of subscription, term-based software licenses, and maintenance revenue.
2 ARR is calculated as the annualized value of our customer recurring contracts with a term of at least one-year, as of the measuring date. These include subscription, term-based license, and maintenance contracts and exclude one-time fees. To the extent that we are negotiating a renewal with a customer after the expiration of a recurring contract, we continue to include that revenue in ARR if we are actively in discussion with the customer for a new recurring contract or renewal, or until such customer notifies us that it is not renewing its recurring contract.

​​ Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We report financial results in accordance with GAAP. We also evaluate our performance using certain non-GAAP operating metrics, namely Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP Net Income and non-GAAP diluted EPS. Our management believes that these measures provide useful supplemental information regarding the performance of our business and facilitates in comparison to our historical operating results.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives or substitutes for the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful within the context described below, they are in fact incomplete and are not measures that should be used to evaluate our full performance or our prospects. Such an evaluation needs to consider all of the complexities associated with our business including, but not limited to, how past actions are affecting current results and how they may affect future results, how we have chosen to finance the business, and how taxes affect the final amounts that are or will be available to stockholders as a return on their investment. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are found below.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, long-term incentive compensation, and certain non-recurring items, including acquisition related costs, lease exit costs, rebranding costs, and non-routine shareholder matters. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a simplified measure of performance for use in communicating our performance to investors and analysts and for comparisons to other companies within our industry. As a performance measure, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA presents a view of our operating results that is most closely related to serving our customers. By excluding interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, long-term incentive

compensation, and certain non-recurring items, we are able to evaluate performance without considering decisions that, in most cases, are not directly related to meeting our customers’ requirements and were either made in prior periods (e.g., depreciation, amortization, long-term incentive compensation, non-routine shareholder matters), deal with the structure or financing of the business (e.g., interest, one-time strategic action costs) or reflect the application of regulations that are outside of the control of our management team (e.g., taxes). Similarly, we find that the comparison of our results to those of our competitors is facilitated when we do not consider the impact of these items.

Non-GAAP Net Income & Non-GAAP Diluted EPS

We define non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS, as net income or EPS before the consideration of long-term incentive compensation expenses, the amortization of intangible assets, and certain non-recurring items. We use these measures to assess the impact of our performance excluding items that can significantly impact the comparison of our results between periods and the comparison to competitors.

Long-term incentive compensation for management and others is directly tied to performance, and this measure allows management to see the relationship of the cost of incentives to the performance of the business operations directly if such incentives are based on that period’s performance. To the extent that such incentives are based on performance over a period of several years, there may be periods that have significant adjustments to the accruals in the period that relate to a longer period of time, which can make it difficult to assess the results of the business operations in the current period. In addition, the Company’s long-term incentives generally reflect the use of restricted stock unit grants or cash awards while other companies may use different forms of incentives the cost of which is determined on a different basis, which makes a comparison difficult. We exclude amortization of intangible assets as we believe the amount of such expense in any given period may not be correlated directly to the performance of the business operations and that such expenses can vary significantly between periods as a result of new acquisitions, the full amortization of previously acquired intangible assets or the write down of such assets due to an impairment event. However, intangible assets contribute to current and future revenue, and related amortization expense will recur in future periods until expired or written down.

We also exclude certain non-recurring items including one-time strategic action costs and non-recurring shareholder matters, as these items are unrelated to the operations of our core business. By excluding these items, we are better able to compare the operating results of our underlying core business from one reporting period to the next.

We make a tax adjustment based on the above adjustments resulting in an effective tax rate on a non-GAAP basis, which may differ from the GAAP tax rate. We believe the effective tax rates we use in the adjustment are reasonable estimates of the overall tax rates for the Company under its global operating structure.

Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements

The Company identified immaterial errors related to certain costs directly attributable to the production and distribution of hardware products. The costs were not properly categorized in certain prior periods, which resulted in an understatement of product and license cost of goods sold and an overstatement of sales and marketing expense.

We evaluated the aggregate effects of the errors to our previously issued financial statements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins No. 99 and No. 108 and, based upon quantitative and qualitative factors, determined that the errors were not material to the previously issued financial statements and disclosures included in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, or for any quarterly periods included therein or through our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Current Report on Form 8-K for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2021, June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021. Additional information around the prior period adjustments is available in the notes to the financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

To correct these immaterial errors related to prior periods, the company adjusted the prior period product and license cost of goods sold and sales and marketing expense in this earnings press release and expects to adjust the prior period amounts in future filings with the SEC.

The following table tables present the effects of the aforementioned revisions on our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.
