News Explained

Future ATM sales could dilute existing ownership, but the release commits no issuance amount or timing.

Rackspace Technology reported second-quarter 2026 results on August 10, 2026; its 250–260 million weighted-average-share guidance excludes ATM issuance, so future new shares could increase the share count and reduce existing holders’ percentage ownership.

An at-the-market program lets the issuer sell new shares gradually at prevailing market prices rather than through one single priced deal; Rackspace says future issuance depends on share price and market conditions, placing this disclosure at a future, conditional stage rather than a priced or closed transaction.

The active shelf registration filed on July 9, 2026 permits offerings from time to time and says each offering will be described in a prospectus supplement, so the authorization does not establish a committed sale amount.

The tag-specific earnings record showed 4 aligned events and 1 divergence. That history places the current results in a generally sentiment-sensitive context; the active S-3ASR shelf and Net Selling insider activity were additional risks to monitor.

Key Terms

constant currency, non-gaap operating profit, adjusted ebitda, atm program, +1 more
5 terms
constant currency financial
"an increase of 0.6% on a reported basis and 0.4% on a constant currency"
Constant currency is a way of measuring financial results that removes the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. It allows for a clearer comparison of a company's performance over time by showing what the numbers would look like if exchange rates had stayed the same. This helps investors understand whether growth comes from actual business improvements or just currency fluctuations.
non-gaap operating profit financial
"Non-GAAP Operating Profit was $27 million in both the second quarter"
Non-GAAP operating profit is a company’s operating earnings after removing or adjusting items that management considers unusual, one-time, or not part of regular operations (for example, restructuring costs or stock-based pay). Investors use it like a cleaned-up scorecard to see the company’s core business performance without temporary noise, but because the adjustments aren’t standardized, it’s best compared across peers with caution.
adjusted ebitda financial
"Adjusted EBITDA | $285 $295 million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
atm program financial
"guidance excludes any dilution from the ATM program"
An at-the-market (ATM) program is an arrangement that lets a publicly traded company sell newly issued shares gradually into the open market at prevailing prices, through a designated broker-dealer, instead of raising money in one large offering. It gives the company flexible, lower-cost fundraising; for existing shareholders it matters because each sale adds to the share count, which can dilute their ownership stake.
revolving credit facility financial
"total liquidity of $202 million, including our Revolving Credit Facility"
A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.

(1) Constant currency revenue and certain other measures in this release are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the tables that accompany this release for definitions and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures.


Financial Outlook

Rackspace Technology is providing guidance as follows:

 FY 2026 Guidance
Total Revenue$2,450 - $2,550 million
Private Cloud Revenue$1,000 - $1,050 million
Public Cloud Revenue$1,450 - $1,500 million
Non-GAAP Operating Profit$125 - $135 million
Adjusted EBITDA$285 - $295 million
Non-GAAP Loss Per Share($0.25) - ($0.30)
Non-GAAP Other Income (Expense)($220) – ($230) million
Non-GAAP Tax Expense Rate26%
Non-GAAP Weighted Average Shares(1)250 - 260 million


(1) Non-GAAP Weighted Average Shares guidance excludes any dilution from the ATM program, as future issuance under the program will depend on prevailing share price and market conditions.


Information about Rackspace Technology’s use of non-GAAP financial measures is provided below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

Definitions of non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to the most directly comparable measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) are provided in subsequent sections of this press release narrative and supplemental schedules. Rackspace Technology has not reconciled Non-GAAP Operating Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Loss Per Share, Non-GAAP Other Income (Expense) or Non-GAAP Tax Expense Rate guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because it does not provide guidance on GAAP net income (loss) or the reconciling items between these Non-GAAP measures and GAAP net income (loss) as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, certain of these items, such as share-based compensation expense. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort. With respect to Non-GAAP Operating Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Loss Per Share, Non-GAAP Other Income (Expense) and Non-GAAP Tax Expense Rate guidance, adjustments in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges and costs excluded from these Non-GAAP measures in prior periods, but the impact of such adjustments could be significant.

Any forward-looking statement made in this press release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes several non-GAAP financial measures such as constant currency revenue, Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss), Non-GAAP Operating Profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) Per Share. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain costs, losses and gains that are required to be included in our profit and loss measures under GAAP. Although we believe these measures are useful to investors and analysts for the same reasons they are useful to management, as described in the accompanying pages, these measures are not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP financial measures or disclosures. Other companies may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. We have reconciled each of these non-GAAP measures to the applicable most comparable GAAP measure in the accompanying pages.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Constant Currency Revenue

We use constant currency revenue as an additional metric for understanding and assessing our growth excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations on our international business operations. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period over period and is calculated by translating the non-U.S. dollar income statement balances for the most current period to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate from the comparative period rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective period. We also believe this is an important metric to help investors evaluate our performance in comparison to prior periods.

(a) The effect of foreign currency is calculated by translating current period results using the average exchange rate from the prior comparative period.


Non-GAAP Gross Profit 

We present Non-GAAP Gross Profit because we believe the measure is useful in analyzing trends in our underlying, recurring gross margins. We define Non-GAAP Gross Profit as gross profit, adjusted to exclude the impact of share-based compensation expense, purchase accounting-related effects, and certain business transformation-related costs.

(a) Adjustment for the impact of purchase accounting from the November 2016 merger on expenses.
(b) Adjustment for the impact of business transformation and optimization activities, as well as associated severance, certain facility closure costs and lease termination expenses. Also includes payroll taxes associated with the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock.


Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss), Non-GAAP Operating Profit and Adjusted EBITDA

We present Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss), Non-GAAP Operating Profit and Adjusted EBITDA because they are a basis upon which management assesses our performance and we believe they are useful to evaluating our financial performance. We believe that excluding items from net income that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, our core operating results, and that may vary in frequency or magnitude, enhances the comparability of our results and provides a better baseline for analyzing trends in our business.

We define Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the impact of non-cash charges for share-based compensation, transaction-related costs and adjustments, restructuring and transformation charges, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, goodwill and asset impairment charges, the interest expense impact from the refinancing transactions announced in March 2024 (the "March 2024 Refinancing Transactions"), and certain other non-operating, non-recurring or non-core gains and losses, as well as the tax effects of these non-GAAP adjustments.

We define Non-GAAP Operating Profit as income (loss) from operations adjusted to exclude the impact of non-cash charges for share-based compensation, transaction-related costs and adjustments, restructuring and transformation charges, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, goodwill and asset impairment charges, and certain other non-operating, non-recurring or non-core gains and losses.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the impact of non-cash charges for share-based compensation, transaction-related costs and adjustments, restructuring and transformation charges, certain other non-operating, non-recurring or non-core gains and losses, interest expense, expenses for our Receivables Purchase Agreement, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and goodwill and asset impairment charges.

Non-GAAP Operating Profit and Adjusted EBITDA are management's principal metrics for measuring our underlying financial performance. Non-GAAP Operating Profit and Adjusted EBITDA, along with other quantitative and qualitative information, are also the principal financial measures used by management and our Board of Directors in determining performance-based compensation for our management and key employees.

These non-GAAP measures are not intended to imply that we would have generated higher income or avoided net losses if the November 2016 merger and the subsequent transactions and initiatives had not occurred. In the future we may incur expenses or charges such as those added back to calculate Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss), Non-GAAP Operating Profit or Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss), Non-GAAP Operating Profit and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these items. Other companies, including our peer companies, may calculate similarly-titled measures in a different manner from us, and therefore, our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. Investors are cautioned against using these measures to the exclusion of our results in accordance with GAAP.

When computing this long-term rate for the 2025 and 2026 interim periods, we based it on an average of the 2024 and estimated 2025 tax rates and 2025 and estimated 2026 tax rates, respectively, recomputed to remove the tax effect of non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments and non-recurring tax adjustments, resulting in a structural non-GAAP tax rate of 26% for all periods. The non-GAAP tax rate could be subject to change for a variety of reasons, including the rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant changes in our geographic earnings mix including due to acquisition activity, or other changes to our strategy or business operations. We will re-evaluate our long-term non-GAAP tax rate as appropriate. We believe that making these adjustments facilitates a better evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to prior periods.
(h) Primarily consists of foreign currency gains and losses and expense related to our Receivables Purchase Agreement.
(i) Excludes accelerated depreciation expense related to facility closures.


Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) Per Share

We define Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) Per Share as Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) divided by our GAAP weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period on a diluted basis and further adjusted for the weighted average number of shares associated with securities which are anti-dilutive to GAAP loss per share. Management uses Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) Per Share to evaluate the performance of our business on a comparable basis from period to period, including by adjusting for the impact of the issuance of shares.
