Salesforce Announces Fiscal 2017 First Quarter Results
Raises FY17 Revenue Guidance to $8.16 Billion to $8.20 Billion

Revenue of $1.92 Billion, up 27% Year-Over-Year, 28% in Constant Currency
Operating Cash Flow of $1.05 Billion, up 43% Year-Over-Year
Deferred Revenue of $4.01 Billion, up 31% Year-Over-Year, 32% in Constant Currency
Unbilled Deferred Revenue of Approximately $7.6 Billion, up 27% Year-Over-Year
Initiates Second Quarter Revenue Guidance of $2.005 Billion to $2.015 Billion

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - May 18, 2016 - Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), the Customer Success Platform and world’s #1 CRM company, today announced results for its fiscal first quarter ended April 30, 2016.

“We’re thrilled that first quarter revenue growth accelerated to 28% year-over-year in constant currency,” said Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO, Salesforce. “Given the strong response to our Customer Success Platform, we are raising our fiscal 2017 revenue guidance by $80 million to reach $8.2 billion at the high end of the range.”

“Operating cash flow grew 43% in the first quarter from a year ago, surpassing the $1 billion quarterly milestone for the first time in our company’s history,” said Mark Hawkins, CFO, Salesforce. “We also expanded our non-GAAP operating margin by 283 basis points, which is our eighth consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvement.”

“Our first quarter was an extremely strong start to our fiscal year, with outstanding execution across the board,” said Keith Block, vice chairman, president and COO, Salesforce. “We continued to drive larger and more strategic transactions in the first quarter, including yet another 9-figure transaction. No other enterprise software company is building strategic relationships of this size and scale-and certainly not at this pace.”

Salesforce delivered the following results for its first fiscal quarter 2017:

Revenue: Total revenue was $1.92 billion, an increase of 27% year-over-year, and 28% in constant currency. Subscription and support revenues were $1.78 billion, an increase of 26% year-over-year. Professional services and other revenues were $141 million, an increase of 33% year-over-year.

Earnings per Share: GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.06, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.24.

Cash: Cash generated from operations was $1.05 billion, an increase of 43% year-over-year. Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities finished the quarter at $3.72 billion.

Deferred Revenue: Deferred revenue on the balance sheet as of April 30, 2016 was $4.01 billion, an increase of 31% year-over-year, and 32% in constant currency. Unbilled deferred revenue, representing business that is contracted but unbilled and off balance sheet, ended the first quarter at approximately $7.6 billion, up 27% year-over-year.






As of May 18, 2016, the company is initiating revenue, earnings per share, and deferred revenue guidance for its second quarter of fiscal year 2017. In addition, the company is raising its full fiscal year 2017 revenue, earnings per share and operating cash flow guidance previously provided on February 24, 2016.

Q2 FY17 Guidance: Revenue is projected to be approximately $2.005 billion to $2.015 billion, an increase of 23% year-over-year.

GAAP diluted earnings per share is projected to be $0.03 to $0.04, while non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is projected to be $0.24 to $0.25.

On balance sheet deferred revenue growth is projected to be 26% to 28% year-over-year.

Full Year FY17 Guidance: Revenue is projected to be approximately $8.16 billion to $8.20 billion, an increase of 22% to 23% year-over-year.

GAAP diluted earnings per share is projected to be $0.20 to $0.22, while non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is projected to be $1.00 to $1.02.

Operating cash flow growth is projected to be 25% to 26% year-over-year.

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 (ASU 2015-17), “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: This press release includes information about non-GAAP earnings per share, non-GAAP tax rates, and non-GAAP free cash flow (collectively the “non-GAAP financial measures”). These non-GAAP financial measures are measurements of financial performance that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and computational methods may differ from those used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with the company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when planning, monitoring, and evaluating the company’s performance.

The primary purpose of using non-GAAP measures is to provide supplemental information that may prove useful to investors who wish to consider the impact of certain non-cash or non-recurring items on the company’s operating performance and to enable investors to evaluate the company’s results in the same way management does. These non-cash or non-recurring items generally consist of one-time items resulting from strategic decisions that affect multiple periods or periods unrelated to when the actual items were incurred. Management believes that supplementing GAAP disclosure with non-GAAP disclosure that excludes items that are not directly related to performance in any particular period provides investors with a more complete view of the company’s operational performance and allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in the company’s business. Further, to the extent that other companies use similar methods in calculating non-GAAP measures, the provision of supplemental non-GAAP information can allow for a comparison of the company’s relative performance against other companies that also report non-GAAP operating results.

Non-GAAP earnings per share excludes the impact of the following items: stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, amortization of acquired leases, the net amortization of debt discount on the company’s convertible senior notes, gains/losses on sales of land and building improvements, gains on sales of strategic investments, and termination of office leases, as well as income tax adjustments. These items are excluded because the decisions which gave rise to these items were not made to increase revenue in a particular period, but were made for the company’s long-term benefit over multiple periods.

The purpose of the non-GAAP tax rate is to quantify the excluded tax adjustments and the tax consequences associated with the above excluded items. The company reports a projected long-term tax rate to eliminate the effects of non-recurring and period-specific items, which can vary in size and frequency. This projected long-term non-GAAP tax rate could be subject to change in the future for a variety of reasons, such as, for example, significant changes in the company’s geographic earnings mix including acquisition activity or fundamental tax law changes in major jurisdictions where the company operates.

Specifically, management is excluding the following items from its non-GAAP earnings per share for Q1 and its non-GAAP estimates for Q2 and FY17:

Stock-Based Expenses: The company’s compensation strategy includes the use of stock-based compensation to attract and retain employees and executives. It is principally aimed at aligning their interests with those of our stockholders and at long-term employee retention, rather than to motivate or reward operational performance for any particular period. Thus, stock-based compensation expense varies for reasons that are generally unrelated to operational decisions and performance in any particular period.

Amortization of Purchased Intangibles and Acquired Leases: The company views amortization of acquisition- and building-related intangible assets, such as the amortization of the cost associated with an acquired company’s research and development efforts, trade names, customer lists and customer relationships, and acquired lease intangibles, as items arising from pre-acquisition activities determined at the time of an acquisition. While these intangible assets are continually evaluated for impairment, amortization of the cost of purchased intangibles is a static expense, one that is not typically affected by operations during any particular period.

Amortization of Debt Discount: Under GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion are required to be separately accounted for as liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. Accordingly, for GAAP purposes we are required to recognize imputed interest expense on the company’s $1.15 billion of convertible senior notes due 2018 that were issued in a private placement in March 2013. The imputed interest rate was approximately 2.5% for the convertible





notes due 2018, while the actual coupon interest rate of the notes is 0.25%. The difference between the imputed interest expense and the coupon interest expense, net of the interest amount capitalized, is excluded from management’s assessment of the company’s operating performance because management believes that this non-cash expense is not indicative of ongoing operating performance.

Gains on Sales of Strategic Investments: The company views gains on sales of its strategic investments resulting from acquisitions initiated by the company in which an equity interest was previously held as discrete events and not indicative of operational performance during any particular period. Management believes that the exclusion of these gains provides investors an enhanced view of the company’s operational performance.

Lease Termination Resulting From Purchase of Office Building: The company views the non-cash, one-time gain associated with the termination of its lease at 50 Fremont to be a discrete item. 

Income Tax Effects and Adjustments: The Company utilizes a fixed long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate in order to provide better consistency across the interim reporting periods by eliminating the effects of non-recurring and period-specific items such as changes in the tax valuation allowance and tax effects of acquisitions-related costs, since each of these can vary in size and frequency. When projecting this long-term rate, the Company evaluated a three-year financial projection that excludes the direct impact of the following non-cash items: stock-based expenses, amortization of purchased intangibles, amortization of acquired leases, amortization of debt discount, gains/losses on the sales of land and building improvements, gains on sales of strategic investments, and termination of office leases. The projected rate also assumes no new acquisitions in the three-year period, and considers other factors including the Company’s tax structure, its tax positions in various jurisdictions and key legislation in major jurisdictions where the company operates. This long-term rate could be subject to change for a variety of reasons, such as significant changes in the geographic earnings mix including acquisition activity, or fundamental tax law changes in major jurisdictions where the company operates. The Company re-evaluates this long-term rate on an annual basis or if any significant events that may materially affect this long-term rate occur. The non-GAAP tax rates for fiscal 2017 is 35.0 percent, and was 35.5 percent for fiscal 2016.

The company defines the non-GAAP measure free cash flow as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures. For this purpose, capital expenditures does not include our strategic investments, nor does it include any costs or activities related to our purchase of 50 Fremont land and building, and building - leased facilities.
