Insights
The reported financials from Smartsheet indicate a substantial growth in revenue and a significant improvement in operating cash flow and free cash flow. The transition from a GAAP operating loss to a non-GAAP operating income highlights the company's ability to manage costs and improve profitability. The increase in subscription revenue by 23% year over year is particularly noteworthy as it suggests a stable and growing customer base. The annualized recurring revenue surpassing $1 billion is a critical milestone, reflecting the company's market position and potential for sustainable growth.
Investors should note the improved dollar-based net retention rate of 116%, indicating existing customers are spending more year over year. This metric, along with the growth in the number of customers with higher ARR, suggests increased product penetration and customer loyalty. However, the projected ARR year-over-year growth of 14% for fiscal year 2025 might signal a deceleration in growth, which could be a point of concern for long-term growth expectations.
Smartsheet's positioning as a leader in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Collaborative Work Management and the release of new generative AI capabilities are strategic moves to differentiate its offerings in a competitive market. The investment in enhanced security and platform scalability addresses enterprise needs for robust solutions, potentially increasing its appeal to larger organizations. The expansion into Australia with local data hosting can be seen as a targeted growth strategy to capitalize on regional market opportunities.
While the company's financial outlook for fiscal year 2025 forecasts solid revenue growth, the tech sector is known for rapid changes. Innovations like generative AI tools could either provide a competitive edge or require further investment to keep up with evolving customer expectations and tech advancements. The company's ability to execute on its product roadmap and maintain its market leadership will be critical for continued investor confidence.
The mention of non-GAAP financial measures is significant for stakeholders as these figures often exclude one-time expenses and other non-recurring items, providing a clearer picture of the company's operational performance. It is important to recognize that while non-GAAP measures can be useful for analysis, they are not standardized and can vary widely between companies. Stakeholders should consider both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when evaluating the company's financial health.
The lack of reconciliation for free cash flow and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding guidance due to uncertainty and variability is not uncommon, but it does introduce an element of risk. Investors should be aware of this and might seek additional clarity on potential reconciling items as they could materially impact the financial outlook.

The section titled "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below contains a description of the non-GAAP financial measures with a reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information. The section titled "Definitions of Key Business Metrics" contains definitions of certain non-financial metrics provided within this earnings release.
Financial Outlook
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company currently expects:
-
Total revenue of
$257 million $259 million 17% to18% -
Non-GAAP operating income of
$32 million $34 million -
Non-GAAP net income per share of
$0.26 $0.27
For the full fiscal year 2025, the Company currently expects:
-
Total revenue of
$1,113 million $1,118 million 16% to17% -
Non-GAAP operating income of
$135 million $145 million -
Non-GAAP net income per share of
$1.06 $1.13 -
ARR year-over-year growth of
14% -
Free cash flow of
$200 million
We have not reconciled free cash flow or diluted weighted-average shares outstanding guidance to their most directly comparable GAAP measure due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, the related reconciling items. For those reasons, we are also unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Accordingly, a reconciliation for free cash flow and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding guidance is not available without unreasonable effort.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking” statements that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about Smartsheet’s outlook for the first fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2024 and the full fiscal year ending January 31, 2025, and Smartsheet’s expectations regarding possible or assumed business strategies, potential growth and innovation opportunities, new products, and potential market opportunities.
Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by terms such as “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “potential,” “remain,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties related to: our ability to achieve future growth and sustain our growth rate; our ability to attract and retain customers and increase sales to our customers; our ability to develop and release new products and services and to scale our platform; our ability to increase adoption of our platform through our self-service model; our ability to maintain and grow our relationships with strategic partners; the highly competitive and rapidly evolving market in which we participate; our ability to identify targets for, execute on, or realize the benefits of, potential acquisitions; and our international expansion strategies. Further information on risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from forecasted results is included in our filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024 to be filed with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons if actual results differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to such GAAP measures can be found in the accompanying financial statements included with this press release.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We are presenting these non-GAAP financial metrics to assist investors in seeing our financial performance through the eyes of management, and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.
We define non-GAAP operating income (loss) as GAAP operating loss excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, one-time costs associated with mergers and acquisitions, lease restructuring costs, and litigation expenses and settlements related to matters that are outside the ordinary course of our business, as applicable. We define non-GAAP net income (loss) as GAAP net loss excluding non-recurring income tax adjustments associated with mergers and acquisitions and the same exclusions that are used to derive non-GAAP operating income (loss).
We define basic non-GAAP net income (loss) per share as non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by weighted-average shares outstanding ("WASO"). We define diluted non-GAAP net income per share as non-GAAP net income divided by diluted WASO. Diluted WASO includes the impact of potentially dilutive securities, which include stock options, restricted share units, performance share units, and shares subject to our 2018 employee stock purchase plan. If there is a non-GAAP net loss, basic and diluted loss per share are the same number as all potentially dilutive securities would have an antidilutive impact. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP measures as compared to GAAP operating loss and net loss, including that the non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of our compensation strategy.
We use the non-GAAP financial measure of free cash flow, which is defined as GAAP net cash flows from operating activities, reduced by cash used for purchases of property and equipment (inclusive of spend on internal-use software) and principal payments on finance lease obligations. We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available, after capital expenditures and operational expenses, for investment in our business and to make acquisitions. Free cash flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth. There are a number of limitations related to the use of free cash flow as compared to net cash from operating activities, including that free cash flow includes capital expenditures, the benefits of which are realized in periods subsequent to those when expenditures are made.
We define calculated billings as total revenue plus the change in deferred revenue in the period. Because we recognize subscription revenue ratably over the subscription term, calculated billings can be used to measure our subscription sales activity for a particular period, to compare subscription sales activity across particular periods, and as an indicator of future subscription revenue.
Definitions of Key Business Metrics
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year ended January 31, 2024, management re-evaluated its key business metrics and as a result annualized contract value (“ACV”) will now be referred to as annualized recurring revenue (“ARR”). We believe the change will result in key business metrics that more closely align with our industry peers and with how management views growth in the business and evaluates financial performance. The change from ACV to ARR did not have a material impact to our key business metrics in the current or any prior reporting period. The definition and calculation of the key business metrics discussed below may differ from other similarly titled metrics used by other companies.
Annualized recurring revenue
We define annualized recurring revenue, or ARR, as the annualized recurring value of all active subscription contracts at the end of a reporting period. We exclude the value of non-recurring revenue streams, such as our professional services revenue, that are recognized at a point in time. We use ARR as one of our operating measures to assess the strength of the Company’s subscription services. ARR is a performance metric and should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue, and is not intended to be a substitute for, or combined with, any of these items. Both multi-year contracts and contracts with terms less than one year are annualized by dividing the total committed contract value by the number of months in the subscription term and then multiplying by twelve. Annualizing contracts with terms less than one year results in amounts being included in our ARR calculation that are in excess of the total contract value for those contracts at the end of the reporting period. The value of subscription contracts that are sold through third-party resellers, wherein we do not have visibility into the pricing provided, is based on the list price. ARR growth is calculated by dividing the ARR as of a period end by the ARR for the corresponding period end of the prior fiscal year.
Average ARR per domain-based customer
We use average ARR per domain-based customer to measure customer commitment to our platform and sales force productivity. We define average ARR per domain-based customer as total outstanding ARR for domain-based subscriptions as of the end of the reporting period divided by the number of domain-based customers as of the same date. We define domain-based customers as organizations with a unique email domain name.
Dollar-based net retention rate
We calculate dollar-based net retention rate as of a period end by starting with the ARR from the cohort of all customers as of the 12 months prior to such period end (“Prior Period ARR”). We then calculate the ARR from these same customers as of the current period end (“Current Period ARR”). Current Period ARR includes any upsells and is net of contraction or attrition over the trailing 12 months, but excludes subscription revenue from new customers in the current period. We then divide the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the dollar-based net retention rate. Any ARR obtained through merger and acquisition transactions does not affect the dollar-based net retention rate until one year from the date on which the transaction closed.
The dollar-based net retention rate is used by us to evaluate the long-term value of our customer relationships and is driven by our ability to retain and expand the subscription revenue generated from our existing customers.
