ServiceNow Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2022 Financial Results

January 25, 2023 4:10 PM

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), the leading digital workflow company making the world work better for everyone, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022, with subscription revenues of $1,860 million in Q4 2022, representing 22% year-over-year growth, 27.5% adjusted for constant currency.

“ServiceNow continues to perform as a beyond expectations company,” said ServiceNow Chairman and CEO Bill McDermott. “Our Q4 surge in new business shows that the secular tailwinds of digitization aren’t going anywhere. We are driving net-new innovation, fast growth, and operating leverage. The world works with ServiceNow as the end-to-end platform for digital transformation.”

As of December 31, 2022, current remaining performance obligations (“cRPO”), contract revenue that will be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months, was $6.94 billion, representing 22% year-over-year growth and 25.5% adjusted for constant currency. The company now has 1,637 total customers with more than $1 million in annual contract value, representing 22% year-over-year growth in customers.

“Q4 was another great quarter of execution as we exceeded our subscription revenue and profitability guidance,” said ServiceNow CFO Gina Mastantuono. “We outperformed our NNACV expectations, driven by robust net expansion and over 30% NNACV growth year-over-year from new logos. What’s more, our results were generated with a lower mix of early renewals from 2023, providing us more opportunities to drive further expansion throughout the year. With our strong results it's clear that ServiceNow remains a strategic priority, generating durable demand that is positioning us well for 2023 and beyond.”

Following McDermott’s elevation to Chairman and CEO late in 2022, ServiceNow has appointed Chirantan CJ Desai President and COO of ServiceNow. Desai joined ServiceNow in December 2016 as the Chief Product Officer and was promoted to the role of Chief Operating Officer in January 2022. Prior to joining ServiceNow, Desai held product leadership roles at EMC, Symantec, and Oracle.

“CJ has established himself as a leader of consequence in this industry,” said McDermott. “His track record – from strengthening our platform to driving our customer experience – has helped establish ServiceNow as the enterprise juggernaut it is today. I’d like to personally congratulate CJ for this latest, well-deserved endorsement of his leadership.”

Non-GAAP revenues and the corresponding growth rates are derived by applying the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period.

(2)

Non-GAAP cRPO, RPO and the corresponding growth rates are derived by applying the end of period exchange rates in effect during the comparison period rather than the actual end of period exchange rates in effect during the current period.

(3)

Effects of dilutive time-based stock awards, in-the-money portion of convertible senior notes and warrants are included in the GAAP weighted-average diluted shares in periods where we have GAAP net income. We exclude the in-the-money portion of convertible senior notes for non-GAAP weighted-average diluted shares as they are covered by our note hedges. We include stock awards with performance conditions not yet satisfied for non-GAAP weighted average diluted shares at forecasted attainment levels to the extent we believe it is probable that the performance condition will be met.
