ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), the leading digital workflow company making the world work better for everyone, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2023, with subscription revenues of $2,216 million in Q3 2023, representing 27% year-over-year growth and 24.5% in constant currency.

“ServiceNow had another beyond expectations quarter,” said ServiceNow Chairman and CEO Bill McDermott. “We've released more than 5,000 new capabilities this year, including generative AI for the use cases that matter most to our customers. Innovation drives growth. This is a highly unique, differentiated company that is reshaping business as the intelligent super platform for the enterprise.”

As of September 30, 2023, current remaining performance obligations (“cRPO”), contract revenue that will be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months, was $7.43 billion, representing 27% year-over-year growth and 24% in constant currency. The company now has 1,789 total customers with more than $1 million in annual contract value (“ACV”), representing 17% year-over-year growth in customers.

“Q3 marks another quarter of exceptional execution as we significantly surpassed the high end of our guidance metrics,” said ServiceNow CFO Gina Mastantuono. “Our robust results show that the world's best-run enterprises are choosing ServiceNow to drive their digital transformation roadmaps. With the capabilities unlocked by generative AI, the window of opportunity is even more expansive, positioning us well to continue delivering a strong balance of growth and profitability.”

Recent Business Highlights

  • In Q3, ServiceNow launched its Vancouver Platform release, which embedded generative AI across all workflows on the Now Platform. Now Assist, ServiceNow’s generative AI experience, expands the company’s generative AI capabilities to further maximize productivity, improve agility, and drive cost efficiency. Now Assist incorporates previously announced generative AI features such as case, incident, and agent chat summarization, virtual agent, and search capabilities, as well as the Generative AI Controller. To power the new generative AI features in Now Assist, ServiceNow also released a domain-specific ServiceNow large language model (Now LLM) built for the enterprise, and released its generative AI pricing packages with premium SKU offerings.
  • In October, building on the recent announcement of its AI Lighthouse program, ServiceNow welcomed Teleperformance, among other leading companies, to collaborate on new generative AI use cases that boost productivity and increase customer and employee satisfaction in key industries.
  • ServiceNow also significantly expanded its partner ecosystem capabilities and partnerships. In Q3, the ServiceNow Ecosystem Ventures program made investments in Japan-based Blueship Co., Ltd. and Japan Systems Co., Ltd. Today, ServiceNow announced an expanded partnership with Deloitte, as well as a co-investment by the ServiceNow Ecosystem Ventures program in India-based global capability center leader ANSR.
  • During the quarter, ServiceNow repurchased 500 thousand shares of its common stock for $282 million as part of its first-ever share repurchase program, with the primary objective of managing the impact of dilution from future employee equity grants and employee stock purchase programs. Approximately, $1.2 billion remains available for future share repurchases under the existing program.
  • As a testament to its hungry and humble culture, ServiceNow was recognized as a Fortune Best Workplaces in Technology™(1) for the fourth consecutive year. For the first time, ServiceNow was named a 2023 Best Places to Work for People with Disabilities and received a perfect score of 100 on the Disability:IN 2023 Disability Equality Index.
  • Around the world, the company continued to emphasize its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments. ServiceNow partnered with FutureSkills Prime to train 5,000 learners across India in new digital skills and provide clear pathways to careers within the ServiceNow network, and partnered with GivePower to provide safe, affordable drinking water to drought-ridden Mombasa County, Kenya.

Financial Outlook

Our guidance includes GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP growth rates for subscription revenues and cRPO are adjusted only for constant currency to provide better visibility into the underlying business trends. Since December 31, 2022, ServiceNow has seen an incremental strengthening of the U.S. dollar resulting in foreign exchange ("FX") headwinds. The total FX impact is estimated to be an approximately $30 million (~0.5%) year-over-year headwind for Q4 2023 cRPO. Additionally, the Q3 2023 strength of our US Federal business has resulted in a higher mix of contracts containing 12-month renewal terms. This will create a 1-point headwind to Q4 2023 cRPO growth and remain a headwind into 2024 as that balance is amortized into revenue. We expect that these contracts will renew in Q3 2024 as ServiceNow’s US Federal renewal rates have been 99%.

Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use the following non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

  • Revenues. We adjust revenues and related growth rates for constant currency to provide a framework for assessing how our business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. Dollars (“USD”) are converted into USD at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period (for Q3 2022, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.99 Euros and 1 USD to 0.85 British Pound Sterling (“GBP”)), rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q3 2023, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.92 Euros and 1 USD to 0.79 GBP). Guidance for related growth rates are derived by applying the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period rather than the exchange rates for the guidance period. We believe the presentation of revenues and related growth rates adjusted for constant currency facilitates the comparison of revenues year-over-year.
  • Remaining performance obligations and current remaining performance obligations. We adjust cRPO and remaining performance obligations (“RPO”) and related growth rates for constant currency to provide a framework for assessing how our business performed. To present this information, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than USD are converted into USD at the exchange rates in effect at the end of the comparison period (for Q3 2022, the end of the period exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 1.02 Euros and 1 USD to 0.90 GBP), rather than the actual end of the period exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q3 2023, the end of the period exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.95 Euros and 1 USD to 0.82 GBP). Guidance for the related growth rate is derived by applying the end of period exchange rates in effect during the comparison period rather than the exchange rates in effect during the guidance period. We believe the presentation of cRPO and RPO and related growth rates adjusted for constant currency facilitates the comparison of cRPO and RPO year-over-year, respectively.
  • Gross profit, Income from operations, Net income and Net income per share - diluted. Our non-GAAP presentation of gross profit, income from operations, and net income measures exclude certain non-cash or non-recurring items, including stock-based compensation expense, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs related to our convertible senior notes, loss on early note conversions, amortization of purchased intangibles, legal settlements, business combination and other related costs, income tax effects and adjustments, and the income tax benefit from the release of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The non-GAAP weighted-average shares used to compute our non-GAAP net income per share - diluted excludes the dilutive effect of the in-the-money portion of convertible senior notes as they are covered by our note hedges, and includes the dilutive effect of time-based stock awards, the dilutive effect of warrants and the potentially dilutive effect of our stock awards with performance conditions not yet satisfied at forecasted attainment levels to the extent we believe it is probable that the performance condition will be met. We believe these adjustments provide useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of our operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods.
  • Free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities plus cash paid for legal settlements, repayments of convertible senior notes attributable to debt discount and business combination and other related costs including compensation expense, reduced by purchases of property and equipment. Free cash flow margin is calculated as free cash flow as a percentage of total revenues. We believe information regarding free cash flow and free cash flow margin provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of our business operations.

Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We encourage investors to carefully consider our results under GAAP, as well as our supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand our business. Please see the tables included at the end of this release for the reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results for gross profit, income from operations, net income, net income per share and free cash flow.

We use a non-GAAP effective tax rate for evaluating our operating results to provide consistency across reporting periods. Based on our current long-term projections, we are using a non-GAAP tax rate of 19%. This non-GAAP tax rate could change for various reasons including significant changes in our geographic earnings mix or fundamental tax law changes in major jurisdictions in which we operate.
