ServiceNow (NYSE:NOW), the leading digital workflow company making the world work better for everyone, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2023, with subscription revenues of $2,075 million in Q2 2023, representing 25% year-over-year growth, 25% adjusted for constant currency.

"ServiceNow results were supercharged by unprecedented demand for our organic innovation," said ServiceNow Chairman and CEO Bill McDermott. "We're in a powerful new ‘AI world,' where imagination is the only limit. ServiceNow is already seeing our own significant productivity increases with the generative AI solutions we're releasing to the market, which will rapidly accelerate breakthrough innovation for our customers."

As of June 30, 2023, current remaining performance obligations ("cRPO"), contract revenue that will be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months, was $7.20 billion, representing 25% year-over-year growth and 24% adjusted for constant currency. The company now has 1,724 total customers with more than $1 million in annual contract value ("ACV"), representing 18% year-over-year growth in customers.

"Q2 was another strong quarter for ServiceNow as we exceeded the high end of our guidance range for all of our key performance metrics," said ServiceNow CFO Gina Mastantuono. "The better-together story is resonating with C-suites driving larger multi-product deals, as enterprises are looking to consolidate purchasing with strategic platforms like ServiceNow. Our intelligent platform for end-to-end digital transformation uniquely positions us to seize the opportunities in front of us as we continue to deliver durable topline growth and margin expansion on our journey to becoming the defining enterprise software company of the 21st century."

Recent Business Highlights

In Q2, ServiceNow delivered new solutions that will embed generative AI across the Now Platform. Generative AI Controller, Now Assist for Search, and Now Assist for Virtual Agent build on ServiceNow's already extensive AI functionality and drive new levels of automation.
Today, ServiceNow announced further generative AI capabilities with case summarization and text-to-code, its approach to commercialization with new premium SKU offerings, and the introduction of its AI Lighthouse program with NVIDIA and Accenture to assist customers across industries in the design, development, and implementation of new generative AI use cases.
ServiceNow also announced today an expanded partnership with KPMG to reimagine finance, supply chain, and procurement operations with a joint investment to co-develop new offerings. This follows ServiceNow and Cognizant's recent partnership to accelerate adoption of AI-driven automation across industries.
During the quarter, ServiceNow hosted its annual Knowledge conference, which generated significant pipeline and featured announcements including a generative AI partnership with NVIDIA, the launches of Finance and Supply Chain Workflows and ServiceNow.org, and a commitment to deploy $1 billion in investment capital by 2026 to ServiceNow Ventures.
In addition, as announced at Financial Analyst Day in May, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $1.5 billion in shares of common stock to manage the impact of dilution from future employee equity grants and employee stock purchase programs.
ServiceNow received significant recognition during the quarter, being named to the Fortune 500 list for the first time, and being recognized as a Visionary in the 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability, and a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Low-Code Development Platforms for Professional Developers, Q2 2023.

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 Q2 2022, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.94 Euros and 1 USD to 0.80 British Pound Sterling ("GBP")), rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q2 2023, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.92 Euros and 1 USD to 0.80 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 Q2 2022, the end of the period exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.96 Euros and 1 USD to 0.82 GBP), rather than the actual end of the period exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q2 2023, the end of the period exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.92 Euros and 1 USD to 0.79 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, the related income tax effect of these 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 (used in) 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.
