Business Wire
SAN DIEGO -- October 24, 2012
ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW), a leading provider of cloud-based services to
automate enterprise IT operations, today announced its financial results for
its third quarter of 2012.
Third quarter 2012 results:
* Revenues of $64.3 million, an increase of 88% compared to the third
quarter of 2011, and an increase of 13% from the second quarter of 2012.
* A GAAP net loss for the quarter of $13.1 million, or a loss of $0.11 per
basic and diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $0.1 million, or
net income of $0.00 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011.
* A non-GAAP net loss for the quarter of $7.1 million, or a net loss of $
0.06 per basic and diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $1.7
million, or net income of $0.05 per diluted share, in the third quarter of
2011 (see the table entitled "Results of Operations GAAP to Non-GAAP
Reconciliation " for a reconciliation of these GAAP and non-GAAP financial
measures).
* Deferred Revenue of $147.9 million, a 13% increase over the $131.1 million
reported at the end of the prior quarter.
* Billings were $81.2 million, a 13% increase over the $72.1 million
reported in the previous quarter and a 96% increase over the $41.4 million
in the same period last year (see the table entitled “Non-GAAP Billings
Reconciliation” for a reconciliation of non-GAAP billings to GAAP
revenues).
"ServiceNow’s third quarter results were highlighted by continued growth
across our key financial metrics and we exceeded our previously stated outlook
on revenue and non-GAAP EPS,” said Frank Slootman, president and chief
executive officer of ServiceNow. “In our first full quarter as a public
company, we added over 145 customers, bringing our cumulative customer count
to 1,346 worldwide, and we achieved a customer renewal rate of 96%.”
"We continued to show strong revenue execution during the third quarter and
nearly doubled our billings over the same period last year," added Michael
Scarpelli, chief financial officer of ServiceNow. “Deferred revenue grew
sequentially by 13%, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit
sequential growth, and we generated approximately $9.1 million in operating
cash flow for the quarter."
Financial Outlook
The non-GAAP financial guidance discussed below excludes stock based
compensation expense and the related income tax impact (see table which
reconciles these non-GAAP financial measures to the related GAAP measures).
Negative numbers are shown in parentheses.
For the fourth quarter of 2012, we now expect:
* Total revenues between $69 and $71 million, representing year-over-year
growth between 76% and 81%. Our total fourth quarter revenues estimate
consists of subscription revenues between $60 and $61 million and
professional services and other revenues between $9 and $10 million.
* Subscription gross margin between 68% and 69%, professional services and
other gross margin between (1%) and (5%), and overall gross margin between
58% and 59%.
* Operating margin between (5%) and (7%).
* A loss per basic and diluted share between $0.05 and $0.06 with
weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 123.5 million.
For the full year 2012 we expect revenues to be in the range of $237.5 to
$239.5 million, representing year-over-year growth between 85% and 87%. Our
total annual revenues estimate consists of subscription revenues between
$201.6 and $202.6 million and professional services and other revenues between
$35.9 and $36.9 million.
Third quarter highlights
* In October, ServiceNow announced a new release of its cloud-based IT
service automation software. With the new IT Asset Management application
embedded in the product, ServiceNow enables companies to more efficiently
utilize software and can help achieve compliance with license terms and
requirements. At the same time, companies can avoid over-purchasing
software licenses and maintenance or support contracts. The release also
includes new capabilities for agile software development to improve user
experience.
* In August, ServiceNow announced it added end-to-end lifecycle automation
for managing VMware virtual machines (VMs) from creation to retirement.
The new capabilities can help prevent inefficient or wasteful use of VMs,
saving administrative time and reducing cost. The new VMware lifecycle
automation capabilities can also substantially reduce the amount of time
and effort required to initially provision a VM, transforming a process
that might take up to several weeks to one completed in only minutes.

Statement regarding use of non-GAAP financial measures
The company reports non-GAAP results for gross margins, operating margins, net
income or loss, basic and diluted income or loss per share, free cash flow and
billings in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to,
financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The company’s financial measures under GAAP include stock-based compensation
expense. Management believes the presentation of operating results excluding
stock-based compensation expense provides useful supplemental information to
investors and facilitates the analysis of the company’s core operating results
and comparison of operating results across reporting periods. Management also
believes that this supplemental non-GAAP information is therefore useful to
investors in analyzing and assessing the company’s past and future operating
performance.
Free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated as GAAP
net cash provided by operating activities reduced by purchases of property and
equipment. Management believes that information regarding free cash flow
provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available to
invest in our business and fund ongoing operations. However, our calculation
of free cash flow may not be comparable to similar measures used by other
companies.
Billings is calculated as revenue plus the change in total deferred revenue.
Management believes that billings offers investors useful supplemental
information regarding the performance of our business and will help investors
better understand sales volumes.
The company encourages investors to carefully consider its results under GAAP,
as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation
between these presentations, to more fully understand its business.
Reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP results are presented in the tables
of this release.
Use of forward looking statements
This release contains “forward-looking statements” regarding our performance,
including in the section entitled “Financial Outlook.” Forward-looking
statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are
based on potentially inaccurate assumptions. If any such risks or
uncertainties materialize or if any of the assumptions prove incorrect, our
results could differ materially from the results expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements we make.
Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in any forward-looking statements are (i) possible

at our expected rate of growth and anticipated revenue run rate, including our
ability to convert deferred revenue and unbilled deferred revenue into
revenue, successfully deploy new customers, and continue to release, and gain
customer acceptance of, new and improved versions of our service, and (iii)
errors, interruptions, delays, or security breaches of our service or web
hosting.
Further information on these and other factors that could affect our financial
results are included in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 and
in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time
to time, including our Form 10-Q that will be filed for the third quarter
