SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - Aug. 31, 2016 - Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), the Customer Success Platform and world’s #1 CRM company, today announced results for its second fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2016.
“Second quarter revenue grew 25% in dollars, and 26% in constant currency, propelling Salesforce past the $2 billion quarterly revenue milestone. No other enterprise software company of our size is growing at this pace,” said Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO, Salesforce. “At Dreamforce, you’re going to see the next generation of Salesforce when we unveil Salesforce Einstein, the world’s first comprehensive artificial intelligence platform for CRM. I’ve never been more excited about the innovation happening at Salesforce.”
“Salesforce grew deferred revenue by 26% in dollars, and 27% in constant currency in the second quarter. We also delivered another quarter of year-over-year non-GAAP operating margin improvement, even as we closed our largest acquisition ever with Demandware,” said Mark Hawkins, CFO, Salesforce. “Despite significant FX headwinds which impacted many of our key financial metrics, I’m pleased to raise our top-line guidance for the full fiscal year 2017 to $8.325 billion in revenue at the high end of the range.”
Salesforce delivered the following results for its second fiscal quarter 2017:
Revenue: Total revenue was $2.04 billion, an increase of 25% year-over-year, and 26% in constant currency. Subscription and support revenues were $1.89 billion, an increase of 24% year-over-year. Professional services and other revenues were $151 million, an increase of 33% year-over-year.
Earnings per Share: GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.33, and was benefited by an approximate $266 million release of a portion of the tax valuation allowance as a result of the acquisition of Demandware. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.24.
Cash: Cash generated from operations was $251 million, a decrease of 18% year-over-year. Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities finished the quarter at $1.72 billion.
Deferred Revenue: Deferred revenue on the balance sheet as of July 31, 2016 was $3.82 billion, an increase of 26% year-over-year, and 27% in constant currency. Unbilled deferred revenue, representing business that is contracted but unbilled and off balance sheet, ended the second quarter at approximately $8.0 billion, up 29% year-over-year. This includes approximately $300 million related to unbilled deferred revenue from the Demandware acquisition.
As of August 31, 2016, the company is initiating revenue, earnings per share, and deferred revenue guidance for its third quarter of fiscal year 2017. In addition, the company is raising its full fiscal year 2017 revenue, maintaining non-GAAP earnings per share guidance, and updating its operating cash flow guidance, previously provided on June 1, 2016. The company is also raising its full fiscal year GAAP earnings per share guidance, previously provided on May 18, 2016. This guidance includes the impact of acquisitions that have closed to date or have signed and are expected to close in the company’s third quarter of fiscal 2017.

(1) | During the six months ended July 31, 2016, the Company early adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718)” (“ASU 2016-09”), which addresses among other items, updates to the presentation and treatment of excess tax benefits related to stock based compensation. Excess tax benefits are no longer classified as a reduction of operating cash flows. The Company has adopted changes to the consolidated statements of cash flows on a retrospective basis. The impact for the three and six months ended July 31, 2015 was a decrease of $133 and increase of $4,091 to net cash provided by operating activities with a correlating offset of equal amounts to net cash provided by (used in) financing activities, respectively. |

(5) Customer contract asset, noncurrent, reflects future billings of amounts that are contractually committed by SteelBrick and Demandware’s existing customers as of the acquisition date over a period of 72 months. As the Company bills these customers this balance will reduce and accounts receivable will increase.
(6) In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring debt issuance costs to be presented as a deduction from the corresponding debt liability rather than an asset. The Company retrospectively adopted this standard for the January 31, 2016 balance sheet presented, which resulted in an adjustment of $7.9 million to Other.
(7) Customer contract liability reflects the legal obligation to provide future services that are contractually committed to SteelBrick and Demandware's existing customers but unbilled as of the acquisition dates. As these services are invoiced, this balance will decrease and deferred revenue will increase.
(8) As of January 31, 2016, 350 Mission was in construction. In March 2016, construction was completed on the building.

d) For the three months ended July 31, 2015, the shares used in computing Non-GAAP diluted net income per share include
the dilutive effects from employee stock awards and convertible senior notes. However, as there was a GAAP net loss
for the respective period, these do not impact the shares used in computing GAAP diluted net income per share as the
effects would be anti-dilutive.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: This press release includes information about non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP tax rates, non-GAAP free cash flow, and constant currency results (collectively the “non-GAAP financial measures”). These non-GAAP financial measures are measurements of financial performance that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and computational methods may differ from those used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with the company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP measures when planning, monitoring, and evaluating the company’s performance.
The primary purpose of using non-GAAP measures is to provide supplemental information that may prove useful to investors who wish to consider the impact of certain non-cash or non-recurring items on the company’s operating performance and to enable investors to evaluate the company’s results in the same way management does. These non-cash or non-recurring items generally consist of one-time items resulting from strategic decisions that affect multiple periods or periods unrelated to when the actual items were incurred. Management believes that supplementing GAAP disclosure with non-GAAP disclosure that excludes items that are not directly related to performance in any particular period provides investors with a more complete view of the company’s operational performance and allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in the company’s business. Further, to the extent that other companies use similar methods in calculating non-GAAP measures, the provision of supplemental non-GAAP information can allow for a comparison of the company’s relative performance against other companies that also report non-GAAP operating results.
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share excludes the impact of the following items: stock-based compensation, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, amortization of acquired leases, the net amortization of debt discount on the company’s convertible senior notes, gains/losses on sales of land and building improvements, gains on sales of strategic investments, and termination of office leases, as well as income tax adjustments. These items are excluded because the decisions which gave rise to these items were not made to increase revenue in a particular period, but were made for the company’s long-term benefit over multiple periods.
The purpose of the non-GAAP tax rate is to quantify the excluded tax adjustments and the tax consequences associated with the above excluded items. The company reports a projected long-term tax rate to eliminate the effects of non-recurring and period-specific items, which can vary in size and frequency. This projected long-term non-GAAP tax rate could be subject to change in the future for a variety of reasons, such as, for example, significant changes in the company’s geographic earnings mix including acquisition activity or fundamental tax law changes in major jurisdictions where the company operates.
Specifically, management is excluding the following items from its non-GAAP earnings per share for Q2 and its non-GAAP estimates for Q3 and FY17:
| |
• | Stock-Based Expenses: The company’s compensation strategy includes the use of stock-based compensation to attract and retain employees and executives. It is principally aimed at aligning their interests with those of our stockholders and at long-term employee retention, rather than to motivate or reward operational performance for any particular period. Thus, stock-based compensation expense varies for reasons that are generally unrelated to operational decisions and performance in any particular period. |
| |
• | Amortization of Purchased Intangibles and Acquired Leases: The company views amortization of acquisition- and building-related intangible assets, such as the amortization of the cost associated with an acquired company’s research and development efforts, trade names, customer lists and customer relationships, and acquired lease intangibles, as items arising from pre-acquisition activities determined at the time of an acquisition. While these intangible assets are continually evaluated for impairment, amortization of the cost of purchased intangibles is a static expense, one that is not typically affected by operations during any particular period. |
| |
• | Amortization of Debt Discount: Under GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion are required to be separately accounted for as liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. Accordingly, for GAAP purposes we are required to recognize imputed interest expense on the company’s $1.15 billion of convertible senior notes due 2018 that were issued in a |
private placement in March 2013. The imputed interest rate was approximately 2.5% for the convertible notes due 2018, while the actual coupon interest rate of the notes is 0.25%. The difference between the imputed interest expense and the coupon interest expense, net of the interest amount capitalized, is excluded from management’s assessment of the company’s operating performance because management believes that this non-cash expense is not indicative of ongoing operating performance.
| |
• | Gains and Losses on Sales of Strategic Investments: The company views gains on sales of its strategic investments resulting from acquisitions initiated by the company in which an equity interest was previously held as discrete events and not indicative of operational performance during any particular period. |
| |
• | Lease Termination Resulting From Purchase of Office Building: The company views the non-cash, one-time gain associated with the termination of its lease at 50 Fremont to be a discrete item. |
| |
• | Income Tax Effects and Adjustments: The Company utilizes a fixed long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate in order to provide better consistency across the interim reporting periods by eliminating the effects of non-recurring and period-specific items such as changes in the tax valuation allowance and tax effects of acquisitions-related costs, since each of these can vary in size and frequency. When projecting this long-term rate, the Company evaluated a three-year financial projection that excludes the direct impact of the following non-cash items: stock-based expenses, amortization of purchased intangibles, amortization of acquired leases, amortization of debt discount, gains/losses on the sales of land and building improvements, gains on sales of strategic investments, and termination of office leases. The projected rate also assumes no new acquisitions in the three-year period, and considers other factors including the Company’s tax structure, its tax positions in various jurisdictions and key legislation in major jurisdictions where the company operates. This long-term rate could be subject to change for a variety of reasons, such as significant changes in the geographic earnings mix including acquisition activity, or fundamental tax law changes in major jurisdictions where the company operates. The Company re-evaluates this long-term rate on an annual basis or if any significant events that may materially affect this long-term rate occur. The non-GAAP tax rate for fiscal 2017 is 35.0 percent. |
The company defines the non-GAAP measure free cash flow as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures. For this purpose, capital expenditures does not include our strategic investments, nor does it include any costs or activities related to our purchase of 50 Fremont land and building, and building - leased facilities.
