Subscription revenues of $1,860 million in Q4 2022, representing 22% year-over-year growth, 27.5% adjusted for constant currency
Total revenues of $1,940 million in Q4 2022, representing 20% year-over-year growth, 25.5% adjusted for constant currency
Current remaining performance obligations ("cRPO") of $6.94 billion as of Q4 2022, representing 22% year-over-year growth, 25.5% adjusted for constant currency
Net new annual contract value ("NNACV") contribution to cRPO outperformed company expectations in Q4 2022, driven by strong net expansion and over 30% NNACV growth year-over-year from new logos

ServiceNow (NYSE:NOW), the leading digital workflow company making the world work better for everyone, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022, with subscription revenues of $1,860 million in Q4 2022, representing 22% year-over-year growth, 27.5% adjusted for constant currency.

"ServiceNow continues to perform as a beyond expectations company," said ServiceNow Chairman and CEO Bill McDermott. "Our Q4 surge in new business shows that the secular tailwinds of digitization aren't going anywhere. We are driving net-new innovation, fast growth, and operating leverage. The world works with ServiceNow as the end-to-end platform for digital transformation."

As of December 31, 2022, current remaining performance obligations ("cRPO"), contract revenue that will be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months, was $6.94 billion, representing 22% year-over-year growth and 25.5% adjusted for constant currency. The company now has 1,637 total customers with more than $1 million in annual contract value, representing 22% year-over-year growth in customers.

"Q4 was another great quarter of execution as we exceeded our subscription revenue and profitability guidance," said ServiceNow CFO Gina Mastantuono. "We outperformed our NNACV expectations, driven by robust net expansion and over 30% NNACV growth year-over-year from new logos. What's more, our results were generated with a lower mix of early renewals from 2023, providing us more opportunities to drive further expansion throughout the year. With our strong results it's clear that ServiceNow remains a strategic priority, generating durable demand that is positioning us well for 2023 and beyond."

Following McDermott's elevation to Chairman and CEO late in 2022, ServiceNow has appointed Chirantan CJ Desai President and COO of ServiceNow. Desai joined ServiceNow in December 2016 as the Chief Product Officer and was promoted to the role of Chief Operating Officer in January 2022. Prior to joining ServiceNow, Desai held product leadership roles at EMC, Symantec, and Oracle.

"CJ has established himself as a leader of consequence in this industry," said McDermott. "His track record – from strengthening our platform to driving our customer experience – has helped establish ServiceNow as the enterprise juggernaut it is today. I'd like to personally congratulate CJ for this latest, well-deserved endorsement of his leadership."

Recent Business Highlights

New innovations rolled out in fourth quarter – including automated service suggestions, Service Request Playbook, and Workplace Scenario Planning – were designed to help address today's most pressing workplace productivity challenges by accelerating automation to eliminate complexity and improve service operations for a better customer, employee, and constituent experience.
During the quarter, ServiceNow also enhanced its observability capabilities by launching Lightstep UQL (Unified Query Language) to help companies extend visibility across highly complex and dynamic Kubernetes applications and ensure they're fully instrumented and observable by default.
In addition, ServiceNow and Zoom Communications expanded their partnership with new integrations to help joint customers elevate employee productivity and improve collaboration across their organizations.
The company welcomed Masatoshi Suzuki as president of ServiceNow Japan, designating Japan as a fourth geographic region alongside EMEA, APAC, and Americas. Suzuki-san joins ServiceNow after a decades-long, distinguished career in leading industry organizations including UiPath, Symantec, SAP, and Oracle.
Last week, ServiceNow also announced a multi-year transformation of its Partner Program to support the estimated $500 billion market opportunity for the Now Platform and associated partner services. It will create new opportunities for partners to expand and collaborate with ServiceNow, giving partners more flexibility to create value, incentives to enable growth, and an improved experience.

Investor Presentation Details

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 Q4 2021, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.87 Euros and 1 USD to 0.74 British Pound Sterling ("GBP")), rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q4 2022, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.98 Euros and 1 USD to 0.85 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 Q4 2021, the end of the period exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.88 Euros and 1 USD to 0.74 GBP), rather than the actual end of the period exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q4 2022, the end of the period exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.93 Euros and 1 USD to 0.83 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, and the related income tax effect of these adjustments. 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.

(1)		Non-GAAP revenues and the corresponding growth rates are derived by applying the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period.
(2)		Non-GAAP cRPO, RPO and the corresponding growth rates are derived by applying the end of period exchange rates in effect during the comparison period rather than the actual end of period exchange rates in effect during the current period.
(3)		Effects of dilutive time-based stock awards, in-the-money portion of convertible senior notes and warrants are included in the GAAP weighted-average diluted shares in periods where we have GAAP net income. We exclude the in-the-money portion of convertible senior notes for non-GAAP weighted-average diluted shares as they are covered by our note hedges. We include stock awards with performance conditions not yet satisfied for non-GAAP weighted average diluted shares at forecasted attainment levels to the extent we believe it is probable that the performance condition will be met.
