Recent Highlights

We believe the following points and accolades from the last quarter are additional indicators of what’s to come in our business through our commitment to product innovation, go-to-market initiatives and customer success:

  • Domo launched the next generation of the Domo Appstore with enhancements such as a more robust SDK, improved navigation and new enterprise apps that make it even easier to find and build solutions that drive business forward with data. All apps in the Domo Appstore leverage the power of the Domo Business Cloud, making it quick and easy to connect to virtually any data source and make that data more valuable for teams and organizations anywhere.
  • As part of the Domo Appstore launch, Domo announced a new collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) designed to help customers modernize any business process and get BI leverage at cloud scale in record time. Mutual customers will be able to access and integrate any data they’ve subscribed to from AWS Data Exchange directly in Domo and easily get that data into the hands of anyone across the business.
  • Domo was honored as the "Best in Mobile Cloud Solution" in the 2019-2020 Cloud Awards.
  • Domo received a DEVIES Award for Best Innovation in IoT for the Domo IoT Cloud.
  • Domo was ranked #1 in the Dresner Advisory Services' Big Data Analytics Market Study, as well as a four-category winner in Dresner's 2019 Technology Innovation Awards.
  • Domo received a gold medal in SoftwareReviews’ 2020 Business Intelligence Data Quadrant Awards, and earned the top spot for ease of data integration and for vendor support.

Business Outlook

Based on information available as of March 10, 2020, Domo is providing the following guidance for Q1 and full year fiscal 2021:

Q1 Fiscal 2021

  • Revenue is expected to be in the range of $46.0 million to $47.0 million
  • Non-GAAP net loss per share is expected to be between $1.04 and $1.08 based on 28.4 million weighted-average shares outstanding

Full Year Fiscal 2021

  • Revenue is expected to be in the range of $192.0 million to $198.0 million
  • Non-GAAP net loss per share is expected to be between $3.22 and $3.32 based on 29.2 million weighted-average shares outstanding

We have not reconciled guidance for non-GAAP metrics to their most directly comparable GAAP measures because such items that impact these measures are not within our control or cannot be reasonably predicted.

Domo Disclosure Channels to Disseminate Information
Domo investors and others should note that we announce material information to the public about our company, products and services, and other issues through a variety of means, including Domo’s website, press releases, SEC filings, blogs and social media, in order to achieve broad, non-exclusionary distribution of information to the public. We intend to use the Domo Facebook page, the Domo LinkedIn page, the Domo blog, the @Domotalk Twitter account and the @JoshJames Twitter account as a means of disclosing information about the Company and its services and for complying with the disclosure obligations under Regulation FD.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP), we reference in this press release and the accompanying tables the following non-GAAP financial measures: billings, non-GAAP subscription gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share and adjusted net cash used in operating activities. In computing these measures, we exclude the effects of certain items including stock-based compensation expense, amortization of certain intangible assets, the reversal of contingent tax-related accruals and proceeds from shares issued in connection with employee stock purchase plan. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and our non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of our ongoing core business operating results. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when analyzing historical performance and liquidity and planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods.

For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included at the end of this release.
