Read MoreHide Full Article
Smartsheet Inc. (SMAR - Free Report) reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2021 non-GAAP loss of 4 cents per share, narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 14 cents as well as the year-ago quarter’s loss of 13 cents. The bottom line also bettered management’s anticipated non-GAAP net loss between 13 cents and 15 cents per share.
Revenues surged 40% year over year to $109.9 million and also surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.2%. The top line also improved from management’s revenue projection between $102 million and $103 million.
The top line improvement was driven by a strong momentum for Smartsheet’s offerings, courtesy of higher demand for robust data collection and risk assessment capabilities amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Brandfolder contributed approximately $4 million to revenues in the fiscal fourth quarter. In the fiscal third quarter, Smartsheet concluded the buyout of Brandfolder for $152.5 million.
Smartsheet’s Subscription revenues (92% of total revenues) increased 42% year over year to $101.1 million. Moreover, Professional services (8% of total revenues) revenues rose 18% year over year to $8.8 million.
