Atlassian (TEAM) Q4 Earnings and Revenues Top Estimates, Up Y/Y
Read MoreHide Full Article
Atlassian (TEAM - Free Report) delivered better-than-expected fourth-quarter fiscal 2021 results. The company’s non-IFRS earnings per share of 24 cents beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 18 cents. However, the figure came in a penny lower than the year-ago quarter’s non-IFRS earnings of 25 cents per share.
The year-over-year decline underlines higher operating costs, mainly due to increased sales and marketing expenses and heavy investments in cloud research and developments. Addition of more than 1,500 new employees in the last 12 months also hurt the bottom line.
Quarter in Detail
Atlassian’s fiscal fourth-quarter revenues jumped 30% to $559.5 million and surpassed the consensus mark of $521.6 million. The company witnessed solid demand for its cloud-based products, primarily led by smaller customers, while the cloud migration momentum continued for larger clients.
New client additions and increased pricing on certain products also boosted revenues during the quarter. The company added more than 23,311 net new customers during the reported quarter, bringing the total count to more than 236,118 customers.
