The Fortinet Security Fabric brings together endpoint security, zero trust access and network security in one unified portfolio with solutions that seamlessly follow and protect your clients from the office desk to the kitchen table, to the hotel room with public WiFi — all while providing a consistent level of enterprise-grade protection.
Providing security solutions designed to protect your clients while they work from anywhere is a lucrative business move for channel providers as hybrid work has become the norm. Gartner says the ideal approach to doing this is with a "cybersecurity mesh architecture," or an ecosystem of integrated security tools, which can reduce financial loss from a cyberattack by 90 percent. This is the exact foundation of the Fortinet Security Fabric. "Our Work-From-Anywhere value proposition is resonating with customers across all sales verticals. It's truly one of the fastest-growing segments of our portfolio and it's one of the only true integrated offerings on the market from a work-from-anywhere perspective," says Aaron Griffith, senior director of channels at Fortinet.
"The FortiGate and FortiGate-VM security platforms (are) going to provide advanced security at a campus, a datacenter, a branch and even cloud environments," says Griffith. "Endpoint technologies like FortiClient, FortiEDR, and FortiXDR (are) going to secure your remote workers and their devices. And then ZTNA and technologies like our SASE are going to control and secure access to applications and secure the remote worker."
Partners don't have to struggle to get started. Fortinet makes it easy for partners to gain competency and capability through its programmatic specialization designations to go to market quickly. "This is a framework that we designed to help partners define a solution offering, create efficiencies in their professional and managed services motions and ultimately maximize profitability," says Griffith.
And Fortinet is 100 percent channel go-to-market and never competes with its partners at the point of sale.

Just_Super
Fortinet's (NASDAQ:FTNT) revenue growth rates could be set up to slow down. And if that's the case, investors are left with a choice. Is paying up 37x next year's non-GAAP EPS all that compelling? And I don't know the answer to this question.
I guess it depends on whether the Fed deems it necessary to stop raising rates as quickly. But even this line of thought illustrates that Fortinet's valuation isn't that amazing.
To help me drive my point, here's a quote from the earnings call that lays out everything investors need to know,
[...] we remain on track to achieve all of our medium-term financial targets from our May 2022 Analyst Day, including $10 billion in billings and $8 billion in revenue in 2025, each representing a 22% three-year CAGR from the midpoint of our 2022 guidance.
FTNT Analyst Day 2022
Management clearly stated that it's going to exit 2022 growing at close to 32% CAGR and that in the next 3 years its CAGR gets down to around 22%. Even if there's a substantial amount of conservatism baked in, we are nevertheless forced to question, what's a fair growth rate for 2023?
What's Happening Right Now?
Investor trepidation is now starting to creep into valuations. For a long period of time, cyber security companies were deemed to be recession-proof. Not only are investors now a lot more skeptical, but it also appears that even ''recession resistant'' could now involve substantial qualifiers around it.
To get to my point, consider what Fortinet's CEO stated on the call,
We expect fourth quarter ending backlog to be relatively consistent with the third quarter backlog as we are seeing early signs of a transition back to more normalized customer buying behaviors.
Within that paragraph, we see the news that investors didn't want to hear, ''more normalized customer buying behavior''.
And that's a theme that is percolating throughout enterprise tech. Tech had been seen as the trade to be in, during a recession. And within tech, cyber security was seen as a safe haven. And now? Well, perhaps this trade became a tiny bit too crowded for what it is.
That being said, to be clear, it's absolutely not all bad news when it comes to Fortinet.
Revenue Growth Rates Remain Attractive
FTNT revenue growth rates
Fortinet's revenue growth rates continue to point to a mid-30% CAGR. For a cybersecurity firm that has seen its share price mostly move down for the bulk of 2022, one has to question, whether investors may not be too negative about Fortinet's prospects?
FTNT revenue consensus
For their part, analysts remain positively bullish on Fortinet's prospects. Even as cyber security and enterprise SaaS companies generally speak of the tough macro environment, Fortinet's analysts continue to revise their revenue estimate outlook upwards.
With this in mind, let's discuss one blemish in the bull thesis.
Capital Allocation, Needle Moving?
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, Fortinet repurchased 10.2 million and 36.0 million shares of its common stock, respectively, at an average price of $49.15 and $55.37 per share, respectively, and for an aggregate purchase price of $500.0 million and $1.99 billion.
And now see if you see a pattern here:
Q1 2022: $691 million (average price $61)
It appears to me that as the share price is moving lower, this coincides with the total amount deployed towards share repurchases coming lower. That being said, there's still a further $530 million left for share repurchases. So it could be the case that these share repurchases could end up being accretive to long-term shareholders.
Altogether, as we look ahead to Q4 2022 this translates into the total share count ending the year down 4.2% y/y.
FTNT Stock Valuation -- 37x non-GAAP EPS
The problem that investors are facing right now, is that there's so much uncertainty over what will FTNT's 2023 revenue growth rates normalize at? On the one hand, we have management openly stating that customer behavior is normalizing.
On the other hand, FTNT's GAAP margins are extremely enticing. In fact, as a point of reference, Q3 2022 reported 23.1% GAAP margins, an increase of 390 basis points from 19.2% reported in the same period a year ago.
On yet the third hand, we have to highlight that the bulk of the revenue growth is coming from its Product business line. And many investors are skeptical that Product revenues will continue to be a growing TAM over the next few years.
Optically Fortinet is cheap. Why? Because it has GAAP earnings. Something that many tech companies haven't figured out yet, how to get their business to report GAAP profits.
On the other hand, a large proportion of its growth is not coming from its Service unit, but instead from its Product business. As a point of reference, two years ago, Fortinet's product business made up approximately 34% of its total revenues. While for its most accurate quarter, its Product business makes up 41% of its total revenues.
So, it could be that soon 50% of Fortinet's business could be coming from its Product business, with a very limited TAM.

Liudmila Chernetska
According to one study, cybersecurity attacks globally have risen by 32% year over year and there are over 1,200 attacks per week. This is no surprise given the increase in the use of technology and the rise of remote working which has widened the attack surface. Therefore it is not surprising that the cybersecurity industry was valued at $139 billion in 2021 and is forecasted to grow at a rapid 13.4% compounded annual growth rate, reaching a value of $376 billion by 2029. Fortinet is in a prime position to benefit from this growth trend as a leader in firewalls. The company has recently posted strong financial results for the third quarter of 2022, beating both top and bottom-line estimates. In this post, I'm going to break down the company's business model, financials, and valuation, let's dive in.
Data by YCharts
Leading Business Model
Fortinet (NASDAQ:FTNT) has created a "Security Fabric" which aims to converge multiple cybersecurity solutions into a single platform. This includes Fortinet Threat Intelligence, Cloud Security, Zero Trust Access, Network Security and more. The company competes with companies such as Check Point (CHKP) and Palo Alto Networks (PANW) in its Cloud Security Segment. While the business also competes with Zscaler (ZS) for its Zero Trust access offering. "Zero Trust" is a network access methodology that aims to deliver users the "least privileged access" to only the applications they need. This stops hackers from entering a company's network via a harmless application before moving laterally to the financial applications.
Fortinet (Official website)
Fortinet is a Gartner leader in its Next Generation Firewall solution and won the customer choice award in 2022. In addition, the company is the market leader in firewalls with its products making up 37% of all units shipping in 2021.
Fortinet Firewalls (Investor presentation 2022)
Strong Third Quarter Results
Fortinet reported solid financial results for the third quarter of 2022. Starting with Billings, which is the amount invoiced to customers and the true "top line" for SaaS companies. Billings increased by 32.6% year over year to $1.41 billion. Following on from this revenue was $1.15 billion, which increased by a rapid 32% year over year and beat analyst estimates by $25.59 million.
Fortinet stock (Q3,22 report)
Total revenue was driven by solid product revenue growth of $468.7 million which increased by 39% year over year across its Core and Enhanced Platform technology products. This is impressive growth given a tough year-over-year comparison and supply chain challenges. Service revenue also increased by a solid 28.4% year over year and 3% sequentially to $680 million.
There are three drivers which are helping to accelerate revenue growth across its product range. These include the increase in cybersecurity threats (as mentioned in the introduction), the merging of security and networking, and vendor consolidation. For a long time, the cybersecurity industry has been categorized by a variety of single-point solutions and specialist companies. This was great in the short term as each company had its own expertly honed product. However, for IT and security teams the security tech stack has become unmanageable with high operational overhead. For example, internal security will have to manage patches, updates, licenses, etc. on many different solutions.
Fortinet solves this problem with its "platform strategy" which enables customers to "converge" together both networking and security products, resulting in lower management time and lower operating costs.
A Forrester report even highlighted this and labeled Fortinet as a leader in enterprise firewalls for the first time. The report stated, "Fortinet has built a flexible and capable platform" and it "excels at performance for value".
The company has continued to eat market share in the area of Secure SD-WAN (Wide-Area-Network) which increased bookings by 45% year over year. Management believes the company is on track to become the market share leader in this space over the next couple of years.
Fortinet has also been "growing upmarket" as it executes its strategy of targeting higher-order value enterprise customers. In the third quarter of 2022, the number of deals over $1 million increased by over 80% to 153 deals.
Number of Deals (Fortinet)
Fortinet is well diversified with the Americas making up 40.7% of revenue followed by EMEA at 38.6% and APAC at 20.75%. EMEA was surprisingly the fastest growing segment as revenue increased by 37% year over year. This was followed by the Americas with 34% revenue growth and the APAC region with 23% growth.
Revenue by Geography (Q3,22 report)
On to profitability and margins, the company reported $875.5 million, in gross profit which increased by 32% year over year at a solid 76.2% gross margin. Operating Income was $334.9 million, which increased by blistering 45% year over year. This was driven by a solid improvement in operating margin from 25.8% to 28.3%, as the company benefited from higher operating leverage and FX tailwinds.
Earnings per share were $0.29, which beat analyst expectations by $0.06.
Financials (Q3,22 report)
Fortinet has also reported solid growth in its cash flow which increased by 19.9% year over year to $463.8 million, including real estate add-backs.
Free Cash Flow (Q3,22 report)
The company has a solid balance sheet with cash, short-term investments, and marketable securities of $1.81 billion. In addition, the company has ~$989 million in long-term debt.
Advanced Valuation
In order to value Fortinet I have plugged the latest financials into my advanced valuation model which uses the discounted cash flow method of valuation. I have forecasted a conservative 30% revenue growth for next year, which is lower than the 34% guidance for the full year of 2022. In addition, I have forecasted 32% revenue growth per year over the next 2 to 5 years in order to be conservative.
Fortinet stock valuation 1 (created by author Ben at Motivation 2 Invest)
In order to increase the accuracy of the valuation, I have capitalized R&D expenses, which has lifted the net income. In addition, I have forecasted the company to continue to increase its operating margin to 27% over the next 8 years, as it continues to benefit from strong operating leverage.
Fortinet stock valuation 2 (Created by author at Motivation 2 invest)
Given these factors I get a fair value of $52 per share, the stock is trading at $77.87 per share at the time of writing and is thus 33% undervalued.
As an extra data point, Fortinet trades at a Price to Sales ratio = 10 which fairly valued relative to historic multiples. It should be noted that Fortinet trades at a slightly higher PS multiple than industry Peers but the company does have strong profit margins which aren't factored in via the PS metric.
Recession/Longer Sales Cycles
The high inflation and rising interest rate environment is squeezing the margins of many businesses and analysts are even forecasting a recession. Therefore I expect longer sales cycles and delayed spending although the cybersecurity industry does look to be relatively immune from many of the major headwinds.
Fortinet is a solid technology innovator and has a diversified business model. The company has highlighted the problems in the market with multiple vendors and aims to help the industry consolidate. It is growing strong across all product lines and the stock is undervalued intrinsically.

State government IT is often federated, widely dispersed into branch offices and sometimes even integrated with local government programs. A good way to connect branch offices to the increasingly cloud-based applications and services that they need to perform their jobs is to deploy a software-defined wide area network, or SD-WAN.
Doing that removes the need for local offices to connect to headquarters before being routed to those applications, saving time and preventing throughput bottlenecks. However, there is a danger to doing that if a branch office is not adequately protected, since they are also bypassing whatever cybersecurity defenses are in place on the headquarters' network.
It is this exact situation that led Fortinet to create a series of zero-touch security devices that are tailor-made to provide secure SD-WAN capabilities to branch and remote offices. Appliances such as the FortiGate 40F provide direct access to cloud-based assets for branch offices, but also the security they need to protect themselves in an increasingly hostile environment.

Flexible Placement Allows Ease of Use
The FortiGate 40F is designed for zero-touch installation. The tiny unit is even designed without fans, so it can be put almost anywhere, from a worker's desk to a wiring closet. Once connected to a wired gateway, it provides secure SD-WAN capabilities that include anti-virus analysis, application filtering, next-generation firewall protection, an intrusion prevention system, URL filtering, VPN support and web threat protection. And all that works with both encrypted and unencrypted traffic.
Each 40F runs on the same FortiOS operating system that drives most Fortinet appliances, which is designed for ease of use. For example, it's quite simple to set up to 5,000 firewall rules using that interface, or to prioritize certain types of traffic over others. However, in the event that there are limited IT resources at branch offices, the 40F can also be fully managed remotely.
High-Volume Traffic Is Supported and Inspected
The FortiGate 40F is designed to support all internet-related activities of a small to a medium-sized branch office. It can handle up to 200 concurrent secure VPN users and still be able to route traffic through its cybersecurity inspection modules without delays. It can also support up to 35,000 new TCP sessions per second. And it can do all of that across up to eight FortiSwitch devices and 10 virtual domains.
Adding SD-WAN to branch offices is a smart move to deliver remote locations the ability to quickly access the cloud-based tools they need to work without clogging up a headquarters network. But it only works if those connections can be protected and secured. The FortiGate 40F security appliance provides both connectivity and protection in a single appliance with a zero-touch setup and plenty of support.

Fortinet, Inc.
Feedback from large enterprises with more than $1 billion in revenue and up to 8,500 sites highlights the value of Fortinet Secure SD-WAN to reduce network disruption, mitigate risks, and Boost time to issue resolution
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
"Large enterprises around the world continue to turn to Fortinet to achieve their digital acceleration goals with solutions that converge networking and security. We're pleased that Forrester has quantified both the network and security benefits of Fortinet Secure SD-WAN, which will advance our commitment to helping customers make informed decisions with validated solutions."
Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), a global leader in broad, integrated, and automated cybersecurity solutions, today announced a business benefit analysis of Fortinet Secure SD-WAN and its ability to support large enterprises by delivering 300% ROI over three years and payback in eight months.
As one of the top SD-WAN vendors, Fortinet commissioned a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study by Forrester Consulting to analyze the value that Fortinet Secure SD-WAN can provide to large enterprises, examining both the network and security impact on customers' businesses.
As part of the independent study, Forrester interviewed business decision-makers with experience across industries and geographies, including retail, healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing. Collectively, the organizations deployed Fortinet Secure SD-WAN and other Fortinet products, such as switches, wireless LAN, and wireless WAN, and have more than $1 billion in annual revenue, up to 8,500 sites, and up to 133,000 employees.
Based on customer feedback, Forrester developed a composite model for the study and built out a three-year financial model to reflect the costs and benefits of the investment.
Key findings from the study and benefits for customers include:
Eight Months Payback and 300% ROI: Customers deploying Fortinet Secure SD-WAN achieved a 300% return on investment over three years with payback in eight months. These benefits include a reduction in communications costs, increased productivity of security and network teams, improved network and security performance, and increased productivity of deployment teams.
65% Reduction in Network Disruption: With enhanced network performance enabled by Fortinet Secure SD-WAN, business users experienced a 65% reduction in the number of network disruptions.
50% Improvement in Resolving Issues: Fortinet offers increased visibility and effective, broad protection, allowing security and network teams to identify and remediate network issues more quickly. Improving time to issue resolution by as much as 50% enabled the composite organization to reassign security and network team resources to higher value activities, resulting in a three-year, risk-adjusted productivity benefit of $1.4 million.
Increased Productivity of Deployment Team: Fortinet Secure SD-WAN enabled the composite organization to save time by 75% per new deployment, resulting in significant efficiencies for the deployment team.
Fortinet Secure SD-WAN Transforms and Secures WAN
Prior to implementing Fortinet Secure SD-WAN, the organizations used a combination of technologies and vendors to manage, maintain, and monitor their networks. These solutions, which relied on MPLS, internet, and assorted hardware, lacked visibility and adequate security coverage, forcing network engineers and administrators to spend excessive time identifying and resolving unanticipated problems on an ad hoc basis. Additionally, scaling and modifying existing solutions became increasingly cost-prohibitive and time-consuming.
