Comments

“As the results show, our strong business execution in Q1 has helped us sustain growth and achieve operating leverage,” said Josh James, Domo founder and CEO. “I’m particularly pleased with our people and their performance delivering 29% growth in subscription revenue, while lowering operating expenses 15%. Today we’ve seen how challenging and expensive it is for even the largest technology vendors to deliver only a few pieces of what we’ve built in our platform. I’m continually impressed how our customers, some of which are the world’s biggest corporations, are transforming their businesses by using our platform with our rapidly expanding portfolio of enterprise applications and advanced data offerings.”

“Q1 was another solid quarter for us,” said Bruce Felt, CFO.  “We are executing well against our plan as we balance improvements in our expense profile and investments to capture the incredible growth opportunity in front of us, while we march toward cash flow positive with our fully funded business.”

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.
