"Q4 was another strong quarter for us," said Bruce Felt, CFO. "We continued to improve execution across all functions of the organization. We are pleased with the productivity gains from sales and marketing. We plan to continue to grow the business while improving efficiencies and we continue to be committed to achieving cash flow positive with the cash we have on hand."

I’m thrilled to welcome Carine and am confident that Domo will benefit from her strength in enterprise software marketing, sales and channel.

Recent Highlights

We believe the following points and accolades are leading indicators of what’s to come in our business through our commitment to product innovation and customer success:

  • Domo announced a new commissioned Forrester Consulting Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study which determined that organizations deploying Domo can achieve an overall return on investment (ROI) of 434 percent over three years and recoup their investment in less than one year.
  • Domo was named to two Q1 2019 Constellation ShortLists™, one for Marketing Analytics Solutions and the other for Cloud-based BI and Analytics Solutions.
  • Domo was ranked #1 for Usability and TCO/ROI in Ventana Research's 2019 Mobile Analytics and Business Intelligence Value Index.
  • Domo announced the Domo Integration Cloud, a new Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solution that leverages the power of Domo’s back-end data integration and management features and comprehensively addresses data integration, access and governance.
  • Domo announced its latest industry-focused solution, the Domo Media Suite. The Domo Media Suite includes Apps for media buyers and publishers to consolidate complex systems and data sets, and drive better performance from their media campaigns.

Business Outlook

Based on information available as of March 13, 2019, Domo is providing the following guidance for Q1 and full year fiscal 2020:

Q1 Fiscal 2020

  • Revenue is expected to be in the range of $40.0 million to $41.0 million
  • Non-GAAP net loss per share is expected to be between $1.26 and $1.30 based on 26.9 million weighted-average shares outstanding

Full Year Fiscal 2020

  • Revenue is expected to be in the range of $173.0 million to $174.0 million
  • Non-GAAP net loss per share is expected to be between $3.99 and $4.07 based on 27.3 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.

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 and non-GAAP net loss per share. In computing these measures, we exclude the effects of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of certain intangible assets and the reversal of contingent tax-related accruals. 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.
