Insights

monday.com has reported substantial growth for Q1 2024, with revenue increasing by 34% year-over-year to $216.9 million. This growth is particularly significant given the current macroeconomic environment where many companies are struggling to maintain momentum.

The decrease in GAAP operating loss from $22.8 million to $5.0 million and the shift to a non-GAAP operating income of $21.5 million from a previous loss, indicate significant improvements in operational efficiency. The operating margin turning positive at 10% from 0% is another positive sign, highlighting effective cost management and scalable growth.

Moreover, the record free cash flow of $89.9 million reinforces the company's robust financial health and ability to reinvest in growth and innovation. This is a key indicator investors should watch as it directly impacts the company's ability to expand and sustain profitability in the long term.

The emphasis on new products like monday sales CRM and monday dev being accessible to all customers aligns with the company's strategy to diversify and deepen its product offerings, potentially opening up new revenue streams and increasing customer stickiness.

For the retail investor, the ongoing improvements and positive financial outlook might suggest a favorable trajectory for monday.com's stock. However, it’s important to pay attention to how well these new products are adopted in the market and any emerging competition that could influence future earnings.

One of the most striking aspects of monday.com's performance is the growth in high-value customers. The number of customers with more than $50k ARR has increased by 48%, while those exceeding $100k have surged by 55%. This indicates that the company is succeeding in moving upmarket and capturing larger accounts, which generally come with higher margins and longer-term commitments.

The net dollar retention rate of 110% overall and even higher rates for customers with more significant ARR, suggests that existing customers are not only staying but also expanding their spending. This metric is critical as it reflects customer satisfaction and the value delivered by the platform, reducing churn and driving sustained revenue growth.

Additionally, the introduction and accelerated growth of monday sales CRM and monday dev suggest a strategic push towards more integrated solutions that could potentially increase customer dependency on the platform. How these products perform will be a key factor in future evaluations.

For investors, these trends in customer acquisition and retention indicate strong market demand and effective product-market fit, which are fundamental for long-term growth and stability.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

This press release and the accompanying tables contain the following non-GAAP financial measures: revenue excluding FX impacts, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, free cash flow, and free cash flow margin. Certain of these non-GAAP financial measures exclude share-based compensation.

monday.com believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to monday.com’s financial condition and results of operations. monday.com management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare monday.com performance to that of prior periods, for trend analysis and for budgeting and planning purposes. monday.com believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing monday.com financial results to the results of other software companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in monday.com financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures.

Reconciliation tables of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are included with the financial tables at the end of this release. monday.com urges investors to review these reconciliation tables and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the monday.com business. Management is not able to forecast GAAP operating income (loss) on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting share-based compensation expense, the amounts of which may be significant in future periods. Management is not able to forecast GAAP net cash provided by operating activities on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting property and equipment purchases and capitalized software costs, the amounts of which may be significant in future periods

Definitions of Business Key Performance Indicators

Net Dollar Retention Rate

We calculate Net Dollar Retention Rate as of a period end by starting with the ARR from customers as of the 12 months prior to such period end (“Prior Period ARR”). We then calculate the ARR from these customers as of the current period end (“Current Period ARR”). The calculation of Current Period ARR includes any upsells, contraction and attrition. We then divide the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the Net Dollar Retention Rate. For the trailing 12-month calculation, we take a weighted average of this calculation of our quarterly Net Dollar Retention Rate for the four quarters ending with the most recent quarter.

Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”)

Is defined to mean, as of the measurement date, the annualized value of our customer subscription plans assuming that any contract that expires during the next 12 months is renewed on its existing terms.

The tax benefits generated from the exercise of the disqualifying disposition of incentive share options were excluded in calculating non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per basic and diluted share. The Company believes that excluding these tax benefits enables investors to see the full effect that excluding share-based compensation expenses had on the operating results.

The following table reconciles our quarterly reported year-over-year revenue growth rates to the non-GAAP measure of FX adjusted year-over-year revenue growth rates, which excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The company believes FX adjusted growth rates provide a useful framework for assessing our business performance excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations is determined by calculating the current year result using foreign exchange rates consistent with the prior year period.
