For the full fiscal year 2025, Domo projects revenue of $313.0-$315.0 million and a non-GAAP net loss per share between $0.69-$0.77.

• Subscription revenue remained strong at $70.9 million
• Recognized as a leader in Nucleus Research's 2024 Business Intelligence and Analytics Technology Value Matrix
• Top-ranked vendor in Dresner Advisory Services' 2024 Collective Insights report
• Named to multiple Constellation ShortList™ categories for Q3 2024

• Billings decreased 3% year-over-year to $68.6 million
• GAAP operating margin decreased by 5 percentage points year-over-year

Financial Analyst

Domo's Q2 FY2025 results paint a concerning picture. Revenue declined 2% YoY to $78.4 million, with billings down 3%. The company's GAAP net loss widened to $19.5 million and even on a non-GAAP basis, they reported a loss of $2.7 million. Both GAAP and non-GAAP operating margins deteriorated.

The cash burn is particularly worrying. With $55.7 million in cash and equivalents and negative adjusted free cash flow of $5.6 million this quarter, Domo's runway is shrinking. The company needs to drastically improve its financial performance or seek additional funding soon.

The Q3 guidance suggests continued challenges, with revenue expected to decline further. While management touts progress in partnerships and new opportunities, the financial metrics tell a different story. Investors should closely monitor Domo's ability to reverse these negative trends in the coming quarters.

Market Research Analyst

Despite Domo's financial struggles, their industry recognition remains strong. Being named a leader in Nucleus Research's BI and Analytics Technology Value Matrix for the fourth consecutive year and achieving top rankings in Dresner Advisory Services' reports, suggests that Domo's product offering is still competitive.

However, this disconnect between product quality and financial performance is concerning. It could indicate issues with sales execution, pricing strategy, or market positioning. The mention of "ecosystem partnerships and consumption customers" hints at potential shifts in their go-to-market strategy, which may be necessary but could also be disruptive in the short term.

The competitive landscape in data analytics and AI is intensifying and Domo's ability to translate their product strengths into revenue growth will be crucial. Their future success may hinge on effectively leveraging these new partnerships and adapting to changing customer consumption patterns.

Q3 Fiscal 2025

• Revenue is expected to be in the range of $77.0 million to $78.0 million
• Non-GAAP net loss per share, basic and diluted, is expected to be between $0.14 and $0.18 based on 38.9 million weighted-average shares outstanding, basic and diluted

Domo Disclosure Channels to Disseminate Information

Domo investors and others should note that we announce material information to the public about our company, products and services, and other issues through a variety of means, including Domo’s website, press releases, SEC filings, blogs and social media, in order to achieve broad, non-exclusionary distribution of information to the public. We intend to use the Domo Facebook page, the Domo LinkedIn page, the Domo blog, the @Domotalk X account and the @JoshJames X account as a means of disclosing information about the Company and its services and for complying with the disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. The information we post through these social media channels may be deemed material. Accordingly, we encourage investors and others to monitor these social media channels in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings and public conference calls and webcasts. The social media channels that we intend to use as a means of disclosing the information described here may be updated from time to time as listed on our investor relations webpage.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP), we reference in this press release and the accompanying tables the following non-GAAP financial measures: billings, non-GAAP subscription gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share, and adjusted free cash flow. In computing these measures, we exclude the effects of certain items including stock-based compensation expense, amortization of certain intangible assets, severance of executive officers who report to the Chief Executive Officer, remeasurement of warrant liability, net change to structured payables, and proceeds from shares issued in connection with the employee stock purchase plan.

As it relates to adjusted free cash flow, we add back amounts equal to the proceeds from shares issued in connection with employee stock purchase plan to reflect the non-cash nature of these transactions. Because no cash is exchanged in these transactions, showing proceeds in the financing section of the statement of cash flows as required by GAAP results in a corresponding decrease in the operating section, which management believes is not indicative of actual cash used in or provided by our operations. We also add back the net change to structured payables to adjusted free cash flow. We believe that this non-GAAP cash metric is useful because it provides investors with the same information that management uses to consistently evaluate, forecast and measure the Company’s actual cash flows and its ability to achieve and maintain positive cash flows.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our ongoing core business operating results. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when analyzing historical performance and liquidity and planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods.

For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included at the end of this release.
