Recent Highlights

We believe the following recognition and accolades demonstrate our commitment to product innovation, go-to-market initiatives and customer success:

  • Domo was named a Challenger in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms based on completeness of vision and ability to execute.
  • Domo was also named a multiple-category winner in the Dresner Advisory Services 2020 Technology Innovation Awards for being a top-ranked solution in multiple market reports throughout the year.
  • Domo was honored as the 2020-2021 Best Cloud Business Intelligence or Analytics Solution by The Cloud Awards.
  • Domo also achieved Premier Status in Snowflake’s Partner Connect Program and announced a new native integration with Snowflake that allows customers to better leverage their Snowflake investments.

Business Outlook

Based on information available as of March 11, 2021, Domo is providing the following guidance for its first fiscal quarter and full year fiscal 2022:

Q1 Fiscal 2022

  • Revenue is expected to be in the range of $56.5 million to $57.5 million
  • Non-GAAP net loss per share is expected to be between $0.43 and $0.47 based on 31.1 million weighted-average shares outstanding

Full Year Fiscal 2022

  • Revenue is expected to be in the range of $240.0 million to $245.0 million
  • Non-GAAP net loss per share is expected to be between $1.53 and $1.63 based on 32.2 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. The information we post through these social media channels may be deemed material. Accordingly, we encourage investors and others to monitor these social media channels in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings and public conference calls and webcasts. The social media channels that we intend to use as a means of disclosing the information described here may be updated from time to time as listed on our investor relations webpage.

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, adjusted net cash used in operating activities, and free cash flow. 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.
