Factors Likely to Influence Q2 Results

The company’s second-quarter fiscal 2022 results are expected to reflect an expanded enterprise customer base as Asana’s Work Graph data model gains traction. Unlike other reporting tools, the Work Graph data model enables companies and team leaders to create reports by selecting particular projects, teams or portfolios across their entire organization and view their progress together in a single chart, not just across individual projects.

The number of customers spending $5,000 or more on an annualized basis grew to 11,272, an increase of 53% year over year in the fiscal first quarter. Moreover, the number of customers spending $50,000 or more on an annualized basis grew to 485, an increase of 92% year over year.

The company witnessed customer satisfaction rates, NPS scores and retention rates at or better than pre-pandemic levels in the fiscal first quarter, translating into continued strong net new paying customer growth and strong seed expansion for its SaaS-based work management platform. This momentum is expected to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.

In the last reported quarter, the company added four new languages — Traditional Chinese, Russian, Dutch, and Polish.

Launch of Asana’s Channel Partner network across 75 countries is expected to have been a key growth driver in the to-be-reported quarter.
