In terms of long-term strategy, the successful acquisition of Togai is a strategic move to bolster Zuora's capabilities in the subscription and usage-based monetization space. This acquisition is expected to enhance Zuora's offerings and drive further customer growth.
Zuora's market performance reflects a solid position in the subscription management sector, with a consistent increase in key customer metrics. The number of customers with an annual contract value of

Additionally, partnerships with notable companies such as Ubisoft and new sign-ups from prestigious clients like Mitsubishi Electric and AVEVA highlight Zuora's broadening footprint in diverse industries. This diversification strengthens Zuora's market position and reduces dependency on any single sector.
Zuora's strategic move to acquire Togai and its emphasis on enhancing subscription and usage-based offerings is a noteworthy development in the tech landscape. The acquisition aims to improve Zuora’s capabilities in metering and rating, which is essential for supporting complex subscription models. This is particularly relevant as more companies are shifting towards hybrid monetization models combining subscriptions and usage-based billing.
The integration of Togai's technology is expected to provide Zuora with a competitive edge by enabling more flexible billing options and improving the overall customer experience. In the tech world, such enhancements can lead to increased customer satisfaction and retention, driving the long-term growth of the company.
Moreover, the release of the Subscription Economy Index (SEI) report, which highlights that companies in the SEI have experienced significantly higher growth rates compared to the S&P 500, underscores the broader industry trend towards subscription-based models. This trend is likely to continue, benefiting companies like Zuora that provide essential infrastructure for subscription management.

Financial Outlook:
As of May 22, 2024, we are providing guidance for the second quarter and full fiscal year 2025 based on current market conditions and expectations. For the full fiscal year 2025, we are maintaining our topline outlook and raising our non-GAAP operating income range while absorbing the operating expense impact of Togai. We emphasize that the guidance is subject to various important cautionary factors referenced in the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” below.
For the second quarter and full fiscal year 2025, Zuora currently expects the following results:

(1) For information on how we derive our non-GAAP financial measures, see the section titled "Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below. Zuora has not reconciled its guidance for non-GAAP income from operations to GAAP loss from operations or non-GAAP net income per share to GAAP net loss per share because stock-based compensation expense cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time. Additionally, adjusted free cash flow has not been reconciled to operating cash flows as it cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time. Accordingly, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort. |
|||
(2) Non-GAAP net income per share was computed assuming 149.4 million and 151.0 million weighted-average shares outstanding for the second quarter and full fiscal year 2025, respectively. |
|||
(3) Refer to the "Explanation of Key Operational and Financial Metrics" section below for how these metrics are calculated. |
These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Refer to the “Forward-Looking Statements” safe harbor section below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.
Explanation of Key Operational and Financial Metrics:
Annual Contract Value (ACV). We define ACV as the subscription revenue we would contractually expect to recognize from a customer over the next twelve months, assuming no increases or reductions in their subscriptions. We define the number of customers at the end of any particular period as the number of parties or organizations that have entered into a distinct subscription contract with us and for which the term has not ended. Each party with whom we have entered into a distinct subscription contract is considered a unique customer, and in some cases, there may be more than one customer within a single organization.
Dollar-based Retention Rate (DBRR). We calculate DBRR as of a period end by starting with the sum of the ACV from all customers as of twelve months prior to such period end, or prior period ACV. We then calculate the sum of the ACV from these same customers as of the current period end, or current period ACV. Current period ACV includes any upsells and also reflects contraction or attrition over the trailing twelve months but excludes revenue from new customers added in the current period. We then divide the current period ACV by the prior period ACV to arrive at our dollar-based retention rate.
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). ARR represents the annualized recurring value at the time of initial booking or contract modification for all active subscription contracts at the end of a reporting period. ARR excludes the value of non-recurring revenue such as professional services revenue as well as contracts with new customers with a term of less than one year. ARR 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. 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.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with
We use non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and to communicate with our Board of Directors concerning our financial performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of our operating results. We also believe these non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, as they generally eliminate the effects of certain items that may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.
We exclude the following items from one or more of our non-GAAP financial measures:
- Stock-based compensation expense. We exclude stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, because we believe that excluding this item provides meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance. In particular, stock-based compensation expense is not comparable across companies given it is calculated using a variety of valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions.
- Amortization of acquired intangible assets. We exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets, which is a non-cash expense, because we do not believe it has a direct correlation to the operation of our business.
- Charitable contributions. We exclude expenses associated with charitable donations of our common stock. We believe that excluding these non-cash expenses allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies.
- Shareholder matters. We exclude non-recurring charges and benefits, net of insurance recoveries, including litigation expenses, settlements and other legal, consulting and advisory fees, related to shareholder matters that are outside of the ordinary course of our business, including expenses related to a cooperation agreement. We believe these charges and benefits do not have a direct correlation to the operations of our business and may vary in size depending on the timing, results and resolution of such litigation, settlements, agreements or other shareholder matters.
- Asset impairment. We exclude non-cash charges for impairment of assets, including impairments related to internal-use software, office leases, and acquired intangible assets. Impairment charges can vary significantly in terms of amount and timing and we do not consider these charges indicative of our current or past operating performance. Moreover, we believe that excluding the effects of these charges allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons between our operating results and those of other companies.
- Change in fair value of debt conversion and warrant liabilities. We exclude fair value adjustments related to the debt conversion and warrant liabilities, which are non-cash gains or losses, as they can fluctuate significantly with changes in Zuora's stock price and market volatility, and do not reflect the underlying cash flows or operational results of the business.
- Acquisition-related expenses. We exclude acquisition-related expenses (including integration-related charges) that are not related to our ongoing operations, including expenses we incurred and gains or losses recognized on contingent consideration, related to our acquisitions. We do not consider these transaction expenses as reflective of our core business or ongoing operating performance.
- Workforce reductions. We exclude charges related to workforce reduction plans, including severance, health care and related expenses. We believe these charges are not indicative of our continuing operations.
Additionally, we disclose "adjusted free cash flow," which is a non-GAAP measure that includes adjustments to operating cash flows for cash impacts related to Shareholder matters and Acquisition-related expenses described above, and net purchases of property and equipment. We include the impact of net purchases of property and equipment in our adjusted free cash flow calculation because we consider these capital expenditures to be a necessary component of our ongoing operations. We believe this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews cash flows generated from operations excluding such expenditures that are not related to our ongoing operations.
Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. The non-GAAP measures we use may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures.
