SANTA CLARA, Calif. - July 24, 2024 - ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), the AI platform for business transformation, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024, with subscription revenues of $2,542 million in Q2 2024, representing 23% year-over-year growth and 23% in constant currency.

“ServiceNow’s elite-level execution is reflected in our continued outperformance across all topline growth and profitability metrics,” said ServiceNow Chairman and CEO Bill McDermott. “Our relevance as the AI platform for business transformation remains stronger than ever as CEOs are looking for new vectors of growth, simplification, and digitization. ServiceNow intends to reinvent every workflow, in every company, in every industry with GenAI at the core.”

As of June 30, 2024, current remaining performance obligations (“cRPO”), contract revenue that will be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months, was $8.78 billion, representing 22% year-over-year growth and 22.5% in constant currency. The company now has 1,988 total customers with more than $1 million in annual contract value (“ACV”), representing 15% year-over-year growth in customers.

“Q2 was another fantastic quarter with NNACV and GenAI contributions exceeding expectations,” said ServiceNow CFO Gina Mastantuono. “Our Knowledge event in May centered on 'Putting AI to Work for People' and received an incredible response from customers, generating more than $1 billion in pipeline. This robust pipeline, combined with our outperformance in the first half, gives us the visibility to raise our 2024 subscription revenue guidance and reinforces our confidence in achieving $15+ billion in 2026."

Recent Business Highlights

Innovation
Generative AI is a generational secular tailwind. NNACV for Now Assist, ServiceNow’s GenAI experience, doubled quarter over quarter and significantly overachieved expectations, including 11 deals greater than $1 million in Q2.
ServiceNow’s Knowledge event in May brought together over 20,000 customers and partners, and newly created pipeline after only 60 days was up over 50% year-over-year. During the event, ServiceNow introduced innovations designed to power AI-driven transformation for enterprises, including a new bring your own (BYO) GenAI model – which offers greater flexibility and choice to customers – and new cross-platform GenAI capabilities such as Now Assist for Strategic Portfolio Management, Now Assist for Government Community Cloud (GCC), Creator Studio, Manufacturing Commercial Operations, and Talent Development.
Today ServiceNow launched its RaptorDB Lighthouse program, building on the powerful, new RaptorDB database offering announced in May, to help customers quickly ingest and analyze data at massive scale as they pursue new AI use cases. To further enhance the company’s GenAI-powered search and knowledge management capabilities, ServiceNow also today announced that it acquired Raytion, a Germany-based industry leader in information retrieval technology.

Partnerships
Also at its Knowledge conference, ServiceNow expanded on its strategic AI partnerships. ServiceNow and Microsoft announced a Now Assist and Copilot integration for a seamless enterprise experience; ServiceNow and IBM introduced a Now Platform and IBM watsonx integration to help customers accelerate workflow productivity; and ServiceNow and Nvidia showcased together onstage the potential of AI avatars for employee and customer service. Additional technology partnerships announced include Genesys, Fujitsu, Equinix, and Infosys.

ServiceNow furthered its industry leadership, making its first telecommunications-focused Ecosystem Ventures investment in leading industry services partner Prodapt to accelerate business transformation with AI-enabled solutions, go-to-market capabilities, and Now Platform skills expansion.

Recognition
As a testament to ServiceNow’s market outperformance, ServiceNow earned a spot on the Fortune 500 list1 for the second year in a row. The company was also named to the Kantar BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands list for 2024; Great Place to Work Best Workplaces in Technology GCC, Australia, and Ireland; Glassdoor’s Best-Led Companies 2024; and LinkedIn Top Companies in Australia, Ireland, and the Netherlands.

Leadership Update

As previously referenced in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company received an internal complaint that raised a potential concern related to one of its employees.

The Company initiated an internal investigation, with assistance of outside legal counsel, into the validity of these claims. The Company also promptly informed and is continuing to cooperate with government entities.

As a result of the investigation, the Company’s Board of Directors determined Company policy was violated regarding the hiring of the former Chief Information Officer of the U.S. Army. As such, the hired individual, who led the company’s public sector thought leadership and business development efforts since March 2023, departed the company. In addition, the Company and CJ Desai, President and Chief Operating Officer, came to a mutual agreement that Desai would resign from all positions with the Company effective immediately. The company believes this was an isolated incident.

The Company has appointed ServiceNow veteran Chris Bedi, as interim Chief Product Officer, effective immediately. Bedi has been at ServiceNow for nearly a decade with roles including Chief Digital Information Officer and Chief Customer Officer.

Financial Outlook

Our guidance includes GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP growth rates for subscription revenues are adjusted for constant currency by excluding effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations and any gains or losses from foreign currency hedge contracts, and cRPO are adjusted only for constant currency to provide better visibility into the underlying business trends. Since March 31, 2024, ServiceNow has seen a strengthening of the U.S. dollar resulting in an incremental foreign exchange (“FX”) headwind of $20 million to 2024 subscription revenues when compared to our previous guidance provided on April 24, 2024.

Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use the following non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Revenues. We adjust revenues and related growth rates for constant currency to provide a framework for assessing how our business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations and any gains or losses from foreign currency hedge contracts that are reported in the current and comparative period. To exclude the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. Dollars (“USD”) are converted into USD at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period (for Q2 2023, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.92 Euros and 1 USD to 0.80 British Pound Sterling (“GBP”)), rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q2 2024, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.93 Euros and 1 USD to 0.79 GBP). Guidance for related growth rates is derived by applying the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period, rather than the exchange rates for the guidance period, adjusted for any foreign currency hedging effects. We believe the presentation of revenues and related growth rates adjusted for constant currency facilitates the comparison of revenues year-over-year.

Remaining performance obligations and current remaining performance obligations. We adjust cRPO and remaining performance obligations (“RPO”) and related growth rates for constant currency to provide a framework for assessing how our business performed. To present this information, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than USD are converted into USD at the exchange rates in effect at the end of the comparison period (for Q2 2023, the end of the period exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.92 Euros and 1 USD to 0.79 GBP), rather than the actual end of the period exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q2 2024, the end of the period exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.93 Euros and 1 USD to 0.79 GBP). Guidance for the related growth rate is derived by applying the end of period exchange rates in effect during the comparison period rather than the exchange rates in effect during the guidance period. We believe the presentation of cRPO and RPO and related growth rates adjusted for constant currency facilitates the comparison of cRPO and RPO year-over-year, respectively.

Gross profit, Income from operations, Net income and Net income per share - diluted. Our non-GAAP presentation of gross profit, income from operations, and net income measures exclude certain non-cash or non-recurring items, including stock-based compensation expense, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs related to our convertible senior notes, loss on early note conversions, amortization of purchased intangibles, legal settlements, business combination and other related costs, income tax effects and adjustments, and the income tax benefit from the release of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The non-GAAP weighted-average shares used to compute our non-GAAP net income per share - diluted excludes the dilutive effect of the in-the-money portion of convertible senior notes as they are covered by our note hedges, and includes the dilutive effect of time-based stock awards, the dilutive effect of warrants and the potentially dilutive effect of our stock awards with performance conditions not yet satisfied at forecasted attainment levels to the extent we believe it is probable that the performance condition will be met. We believe these adjustments provide useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of our operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods.

Free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities plus cash outflows for legal settlements, repayments of convertible senior notes attributable to debt discount and business combination and other related costs including compensation expense, reduced by purchases of property and equipment. Free cash flow margin is calculated as free cash flow as a percentage of total revenues. We believe information regarding free cash flow and free cash flow margin provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of our business operations.

Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We encourage investors to carefully consider our results under GAAP, as well as our supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand our business. Please see the tables included at the end of this release for the reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results for gross profit, income from operations, net income, net income per share, and free cash flow.

(1)We use a non-GAAP effective tax rate for evaluating our operating results to provide consistency across reporting periods. Based on our long-term projections, we are using a non-GAAP tax rate of 20% and 19% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This non-GAAP tax rate could change for various reasons including significant changes in our geographic earnings mix or fundamental tax law changes in major jurisdictions in which we operate.

(2)GAAP net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was impacted by a $910 million release of a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets as a discrete tax benefit and $55 million as part of the effective tax rate.
