Read MoreHide Full Article

Domo (DOMO - Free Report) reported a second-quarter fiscal 2023 non-GAAP loss of 26 cents per share, comparing favorably with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 33 cents. Domo reported a loss of 30 cents in the year-ago fiscal quarter.

Revenues of $75.5 million missed the consensus mark by 1.08%. However, the metric improved 20% from the last fiscal year’s reading.

Growth in revenues was driven by strength in the subscription business segment. However, revenues were flat in professional services and other business segment, and rising operating costs impacted the bottom line negatively.

Top-Line Details

Professional services and other revenues (11% of total revenues) were flat year over year at $8.125 million. Professional services failed to grow due to lower average billing rates with several large customers.

In the second quarter, Domo reported billings of $72.3 million or 21% growth from the last fiscal year’s reading.
