Financial Outlook
"We are seeing early traction with our new products such as RingCX, RingSense and RingCentral Events," said Sonalee Parekh, RingCentral's CFO. "Our efficiency initiatives also continue to drive improved non-GAAP operating margins, which we are raising to 19.0%, at the high end of our prior range of 18.5% to 19.0%. We are also raising our free cash flow outlook, and now expect to generate $290 to $300 million of adjusted, unlevered free cash flow in 2023, up from our prior outlook of $270 to $290 million.”

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.
