SANTA CLARA, Calif. - October 23, 2024 - ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), the AI platform for business transformation, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2024, with subscription revenues of $2,715 million in Q3 2024, representing 23% year-over-year growth and 22.5% in constant currency.

“ServiceNow raised our full year topline guidance on the strength of our Q3 results, once again going beyond expectations,” said ServiceNow Chairman and CEO Bill McDermott. “This remarkable momentum stems from both existing and new customers doubling down on their investments in ServiceNow as the AI platform for business transformation. The mandate to put AI to work for people represents a generational technology shift. We have never been more confident in ServiceNow’s team, our platform, and our position as the ultimate growth company in enterprise software.”

As of September 30, 2024, current remaining performance obligations (“cRPO”), contract revenue that will be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months, was $9.36 billion, representing 26% year-over-year growth and 23.5% in constant currency. The company now has 2,020 total customers with more than $1 million in annual contract value (“ACV”), representing 14% year-over-year growth in customers.

“Q3 was another spectacular quarter driven by robust demand for the Now Platform and exceptional team execution,” said ServiceNow CFO Gina Mastantuono. “With Now Assist already delivering fantastic results, our latest Xanadu release marks our most comprehensive set of new AI innovations yet, further fueling our durable topline growth and margin expansion.”

ServiceNow also named enterprise software industry veteran Amit Zavery as president, chief product officer (CPO), and chief operating officer (COO) to lead product and engineering, effective October 28, 2024. With more than three decades in enterprise technology and previous leadership roles at Google Cloud and Oracle, Zavery is a visionary leader who brings extensive experience in enterprise innovation, transformation, and scale. Zavery’s responsibilities will include ServiceNow’s platform, products, engineering, cloud infrastructure, user experience, and enterprise-wide operations, ensuring all solutions meet the real-world business needs of ServiceNow customers.

Recent Business Highlights

Innovation

•ServiceNow is putting AI to work for customers. In Q3, the Now Platform Xanadu release, ServiceNow’s largest AI release to date, introduced hundreds of additional, new AI capabilities including Now Assist Skill Kit and purpose-built GenAI industry solutions for telecom, media, and technology; financial services; the public sector; and more.

•Alongside Xanadu, the company announced its plans to integrate Agentic AI into the ServiceNow platform and unlock 24/7 productivity at massive scale. With advanced reasoning and grounded in cross‑enterprise data through the Now Platform, ServiceNow AI Agents evolve from the more familiar prompt‑based activity to deep contextual comprehension, keeping people in the loop for robust oversight and governance. First use cases will be available in November for Customer Service Management (CSM) and IT Service Management (ITSM).

•Today, the company announced ServiceNow Workflow Data Fabric, an integrated data layer that unifies business and technology data across the enterprise, powering all workflows and AI agents with real-time, secure access to data from any source. Powered by Automation Engine and RaptorDB Pro high-performance database, Workflow Data Fabric unlocks value with orchestration and automation at ultra-speed and scale.

•At the United Nations General Assembly last month, ServiceNow demonstrated its commitment to building a better world through greater access to technology, knowledge, and opportunity. Through efforts such as ServiceNow.org and others, ServiceNow has set a bold ambition to partner with nonprofits and customers to accelerate impact and reach 1 billion people. This includes the company’s ambition to positively reach 20 million people through its philanthropy efforts.

Partnerships

•Today, the company made several partnership announcements designed to expand the ServiceNow ecosystem and accelerate business transformation. ServiceNow and NVIDIA will co-develop native AI Agents using NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprints within the ServiceNow platform, creating use cases fueled by business knowledge that customers can simply choose to turn on; ServiceNow and Siemens announced a collaboration designed to bolster industrial cybersecurity and integrate GenAI into shop floor operations; ServiceNow and Rimini Street announced a partnership to help enable organizations to unlock value in legacy ERP systems; and ServiceNow and Pearson announced plans to supercharge workforce development and employee experiences in the age of AI.

•Earlier in October, ServiceNow and Zoom announced an expanded strategic alliance to integrate the companies’ GenAI technologies – ServiceNow Now Assist and Zoom AI Companion – to offer organizations advanced workflow automation for tasks and activities.

Global Expansion

•Continuing efforts to expand AI and technology skills, during the quarter, ServiceNow announced a new National Academic Partnership with Singapore’s Republic Polytechnic to provide hundreds of early-in-career and lifelong learners access to emerging AI and cloud computing roles in support of the government's Smart Nation agenda.

•Later this month, the company plans to launch a new data center pair located in Milan and Rome in response to growing demand for data center infrastructure in the region. The data center pair will help enhance customer agility, boost productivity, and promote innovation.

•In October, ServiceNow announced plans to invest $1.5 billion cumulatively in its UK business over the next five years. This includes plans to increase headcount, office space, and AI skills programs.

Investment

•ServiceNow repurchased approximately 272,000 shares of its common stock for $225 million as part of its share repurchase program, with the primary objective of managing the impact of dilution. Of the original authorized amount, approximately $562 million remains available for future share repurchases under the existing program.

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 Q3 2023, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.92 Euros and 1 USD to 0.79 British Pound Sterling (“GBP”)), rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q3 2024, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.91 Euros and 1 USD to 0.77 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 Q3 2023, the end of the period exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.95 Euros and 1 USD to 0.82 GBP), rather than the actual end of the period exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q3 2024, the end of the period exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.90 Euros and 1 USD to 0.75 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 nine months ended September 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.
