I do not agree that NewSQL vendors focus on giving scale-out features to transactional data. The NewSQL market is focusing on giving true ACID support combined with extreme performance, stepping away from the traditional relational structures in databases. A lot of developers appreciate the ease of accessing data using SQL and I think we will see more and more databases supporting standard SQL.

ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), the enterprise IT cloud company, today announced
its financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2012.
Fourth quarter 2012 results:
Revenues of $75.2 million, an increase of 92% compared to the fourth
quarter of 2011, and an increase of 17% from the third quarter of 2012.
A GAAP net loss for the quarter of $9.9 million, or a loss of $0.08
per basic and diluted share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $6.8
million, or a loss of $0.32 per basic and diluted share, in the fourth
quarter of 2011.
A non-GAAP net loss for the quarter of $0.6 million, or a loss of $0
per basic and diluted share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $3.6
million, or a loss of $0.17 per basic and diluted share, in the fourth
quarter of 2011 (see the table entitled “Results of Operations GAAP to
Non-GAAP Reconciliation” for a reconciliation of these GAAP and
non-GAAP financial measures).
Deferred Revenue of $170.4 million, a 15% increase over the $147.9
million reported at the end of the prior quarter.
Billings were $97.6 million, a 20% increase over the $81.2 million
reported in the previous quarter and a 58% increase over the $61.9
million in the same period last year (see the table entitled “Non-GAAP
Billings Reconciliation” for a reconciliation of non-GAAP billings to
GAAP revenues).
Backlog of $379.0 million, an 81% increase over the $209.9 million
reported at the end of 2011. Backlog excludes deferred revenue as it
represents future amounts to be invoiced under our agreements.
Fiscal 2012 results:
Revenues of $243.7 million, an increase of 90% compared to 2011.
A GAAP net loss for the year of $37.3 million, or a loss of $0.51 per
basic and diluted share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $1.7 million,
or a loss of $0.11 per basic and diluted share, in 2011.
A non-GAAP net loss for the year of $9.7 million, or a loss of $0.14
per basic and diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $5.8
million, or income of $0.05 per basic and $0.04 per diluted share, in
2011 (see the table entitled “Results of Operations GAAP to Non-GAAP
Reconciliation” for a reconciliation of these GAAP and non-GAAP
financial measures).
Billings were $309.4 million, a 72% increase over the $179.4 million
reported in 2011 (see the table entitled “Non-GAAP Billings
Reconciliation” for a reconciliation of non-GAAP billings to GAAP
revenues).
“ServiceNow’s 92% revenue growth in the fourth quarter was a strong
finish to our fiscal year, a year in which we delivered 90% revenue
growth and added 538 customers, bringing our cumulative customer count
to 1,512 worldwide,” said Frank Slootman, president and chief executive
officer, ServiceNow. “During the quarter we also achieved a customer
renewal rate of 98% and upsells compromised more than 32% of our total
annual contract value signed during the quarter, a testament to the
value our existing customers are finding in the ServiceNow platform.”
“We continued to show growth across our key financial metrics and we
exceeded our previously stated outlook on revenue and non-GAAP EPS,”
added Michael Scarpelli, chief financial officer, ServiceNow. “Deferred
revenue grew sequentially by 15%, marking the sixth consecutive quarter
of double digit sequential growth, and we generated $16.7 million in
operating cash flow for the quarter.”
Financial Outlook
The financial guidance discussed below is on a non-GAAP basis, except
for revenues, and excludes stock-based compensation expense and the
related income tax impact (see table which reconciles these non-GAAP
financial measures to the related GAAP measures). Negative numbers are
shown in parentheses.
For the first quarter of 2013, we expect:
Total revenues between $81.5 and $82.5 million, representing
sequential growth between 8% and 10%. Our total first quarter revenues
estimate consists of subscription revenues between $69 and $69.5
million and professional services and other revenues between $12.5
million and $13 million.
Subscription gross margin between 73% and 74%, professional services
and other gross margin between 0% and 4%, and overall gross margin
between 62% and 63%.
Operating margin between (4%) and (2%).
A loss per basic and diluted share between $0.05 and $0.04 with
weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 129 million.
For the full year 2013 we expect revenues to be in the range of $387 to
$392 million, representing year-over-year growth between 59% and 61%.
Our total annual revenues estimate consists of subscription revenues
between $327 and $329 million and professional services and other
revenues between $60 and $63 million.
Fourth quarter highlights
In November, ServiceNow closed its follow-on public offering, in which
ServiceNow and selling shareholders sold 16,100,000 shares of common
stock at a price of $28.00 per share, including the exercise in full

common stock. Of the 16,100,000 shares of ServiceNow’s common stock
sold in the follow-on public offering, 1,897,500 shares were sold by
ServiceNow and 14,202,500 shares were sold by selling stockholders.

Statement regarding use of non-GAAP financial measures
The company reports non-GAAP results for gross margins, operating
margins, net income or loss, basic and diluted income or loss per share,
free cash flow and billings in addition to, and not as a substitute for,
or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The company’s financial measures under GAAP include stock-based
compensation expense. Management believes the presentation of operating
results excluding stock-based compensation expense provides useful
supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of
the company’s core operating results and comparison of operating results
across reporting periods. Management also believes that this
supplemental non-GAAP information is therefore useful to investors in
analyzing and assessing the company’s past and future operating
performance.
Free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated as
GAAP net cash provided by operating activities reduced by purchases of
property and equipment. Management believes information regarding free
cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash
available to invest in our business and fund ongoing operations.
However, our calculation of free cash flow may not be comparable to
similar measures used by other companies.
Billings is calculated as revenue plus the change in total deferred
revenue. Management believes billings offers investors useful
supplemental information regarding the performance of our business, and
will help investors better understand the sales volumes and performance
of our business.
The company encourages investors to carefully consider its results under
GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the
reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand its
business. Reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP results are
presented in the tables of this release.
Use of forward looking statements
This release contains “forward-looking statements” regarding our
performance, including in the section entitled “Financial Outlook.”
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and
uncertainties and are based on potentially inaccurate assumptions that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or
implied by the forward-looking statements. If any such risks or
uncertainties materialize or if any of the assumptions prove incorrect,
our results could differ materially from the results expressed or
implied by the forward-looking statements we make.
Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in any forward-looking statements are (i) possible
fluctuations in our financial and operating results, (ii) our ability to
grow at our expected rate of growth and anticipated revenue run rate,
including our ability to convert deferred revenue and unbilled deferred
revenue into revenue, successfully deploy new customers, and continue to
release, and gain customer acceptance of, new and improved versions of
our service, and (iii) errors, interruptions, delays, or security
breaches of our service or web hosting.
Further information on these and other factors that could affect our
financial results are included in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 2012 and in other filings we make with the Securities and
Exchange Commission from time to time, including our Form 10-K that will
be filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
We undertake no obligation, and do not intend, to update these
forward-looking statements, to review or confirm analysts’ expectations,
or to provide interim reports or updates on the progress of the current
financial quarter.
