カリフォルニア州サンタクララ、2024年10月23日 - サービスナウ(NYSE: NOW)は、ビジネス変革のための人工知能プラットフォームとして知られる企業です。本日、2024年9月30日に終了したサービスナウの第3四半期の財務結果を発表し、2024年第3四半期のサブスクリプション収入は271500万ドルで、前年比23%の成長を達成しました。為替レートを考慮した状況では、22.5%成長しました。

「サービスナウの会長兼CEOビル・マクダーモットは、第3四半期の結果の強さを受けて、当社の通期トップラインのガイダンスを引き上げました。さらに、これは期待を上回るもので、既存および新規顧客が、ビジネス変革のための人工知能プラットフォームとしてサービスナウへの投資を倍増していることに起因しています。人々のために人工知能を活用するという要請は、世代を超えたテクノロジーシフトを表しています。我々は、サービスナウのチーム、プラットフォーム、エンタープライズソフトウェアの最高の成長企業としての地位について、これまで以上に自信を持っています。」

2024年9月30日現在、次の12か月で収益化される契約収益残高(「cRPO」)は93.6億ドルで、前年比26%の成長率と通貨ベースで23.5%を表しています。現在、企業は合計2020人以上の顧客を抱え、年間契約価値(「ACV」)が100万ドルを超える顧客の年間成長率は14%です。

「Q3は、Now Platformへの強力な需要と優れたチームの実行に支えられた素晴らしい四半期でした」とサービスナウのCFOであるジーナ・マスタントーノは述べています。「Now Assistが既に素晴らしい結果を提供している中、最新のXanaduリリースは、これまでにないAI革新の包括的なセットを実現し、我々の持続的なトップラインの成長とマージンの拡大をさらに後押しします。」

サービスナウは、エンタープライズソフトウェア業界のベテランであるAmit Zaveryを2024年10月28日から製品やエンジニアリングをリードするために、社長、最高製品責任者(CPO)、最高執行責任者(COO)に任命しました。 A以上のエンタープライズテクノロジーで30年以上の経験を持ち、Google CloudやOracleでの以前のリーダーシップにあたるZaveryは、エンタープライズの革新、変革、スケールにおいて包括的な経験を持つビジョナリーリーダーです。 Zaveryの責任範囲には、サービスナウのプラットフォーム、製品、エンジニアリング、クラウドインフラ、ユーザーエクスペリエンス、および企業全体の運営が含まれており、すべてのソリューションがサービスナウの顧客の実際のビジネスニーズを満たすように確認されます。

最近のビジネスのハイライト

イノベーション
サービスナウはAIを顧客に活用しています。第3四半期のNow Platform Xanaduリリースでは、サービスナウの過去最大規模のAIリリースが行われ、Now Assistスキルキットやテレコム、メディア、テクノロジー、金融サービス、公共セクターなどの業種向けの数百の追加および新しいAI機能が導入されました。
ザナドゥと並行して、アジェンティック人工知能をサービスナウプラットフォームに統合し、大規模な24時間体制の生産性を解き放つ計画を発表しました。最先端の推論に基づき、Nowプラットフォームを通じたクロスエンタープライズデータに基づいて、サービスナウ人工知能エージェントは、より一般的なプロンプトベースのアクティビティから深い文脈理解に進化し、堅牢な監督とガバナンスのために人々をループに維持します。最初のユースケースは、11月に顧客サービス管理(CSM)およびITサービス管理(ITSM)向けに利用可能になります。
今日、企業はサービスナウワークフローデータファブリックを発表しました。これは、エンタープライズ全体でビジネスとテクノロジーデータを統合する統合データレイヤーであり、あらゆるワークフローや人工知能エージェントをリアルタイムかつ安全にデータソースからのアクセスで駆動します。自動化エンジンとRaptorDb Proハイパフォーマンスデータベースによって動作し、ワークフローデータファブリックは、超高速かつスケールでのオーケストレーションと自動化により価値を引き出します。
先月の国際連合総会で、サービスナウは、テクノロジー、知識、機会へのより大きなアクセスを通じて、より良い世界を築くというコミットメントを実証しました。ServiceNow.orgなどの取り組みを通じて、サービスナウは、非営利団体や顧客とのパートナーシップを加速し、10億人に到達するという大胆な野望を掲げています。これには、同社が慈善活動を通じて2000万人に肯定的な影響を及ぼすという目標も含まれています。

パートナーシップ
今日、企業は複数のパートナーシップ発表を行い、サービスナウのエコシステム拡大とビジネス変革の加速を図ることを発表しました。ServiceNowとNVIDIAは、ServiceNowプラットフォーム内でNVIDIA NIm Agent Blueprintsを使用してネイティブAIエージェントを共同開発し、お客様が簡単にオンにできるビジネス知識に基づくユースケースを作成します。また、ServiceNowとSiemensは、産業用サイバーセキュリティを強化し、GenAIをショップフロアのオペレーションに統合するためのコラボレーションを発表しました。さらに、ServiceNowとリミニストリートは、レガシーERPシステムの価値を引き出すためのパートナーシップを発表しました。そして、ServiceNowとピアソンは、人工知能の時代における労働力開発と従業員エクスペリエンスの強化を計画することを発表しました。
10月初旬、サービスナウとズームは、企業のGenAI技術を統合する拡大戦略提携を発表しました。これにより、サービスナウのNow AssistとズームのAIコンパニオンを活用して、タスクやアクティビティのための先進的なワークフロー自動化が提供されます。

グローバルな拡大
四半期にわたり、人工知能やテクノロジースキルの拡大を図る取り組みを継続してきたサービスナウは、新たにシンガポールのリパブリックポリテクニックとのナショナルアカデミック・パートナーシップを発表しました。これにより、数百人の新人や生涯にわたる学習者が、政府のスマートネーション政策をサポートするために新興の人工知能やクラウドコンピューティングの役割へアクセスできるようになります。
今月末に、企業はidc関連の需要の増加に対応して、ミラノとローマに新しいデータセンターペアを立ち上げる予定です。データセンターペアは、顧客の俊敏性を向上させ、生産性を向上させ、イノベーションを促進するのに役立ちます。
10月、サービスナウは、次の5年でイギリスのビジネスに累計で15億ドル投資する計画を発表しました。これには、従業員数の増加、オフィススペースの拡大、および人工知能スキルプログラムの計画が含まれています。

投資
サービスナウは、普通株式の約272,000株を$22500万で買い戻しました。これは、株式買い戻しプログラムの一環で、普通株式の希薄化の影響を管理することを主な目的としています。元の承認額のうち、約$56200万が既存のプログラムの下で将来の株式買い戻しのために利用可能です。

Recognition
As a testament to ServiceNow’s workplace culture, ServiceNow was awarded 10th place on the Fortune Best Workplaces in Technology list1, in addition to placing on the TIME World's Best Companies, PEOPLE Companies that Care, Fast Company 100 Best Workplaces for Innovators, and more.

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 and any gains or losses from foreign currency hedge contracts that are reported in the current and comparative period. To exclude the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations, 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 2023, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.92 Euros and 1 USD to 0.79 British Pound Sterling (“GBP”)), rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q3 2024, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.91 Euros and 1 USD to 0.77 GBP). Guidance for related growth rates is derived by applying the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period, rather than the exchange rates for the guidance period, adjusted for any foreign currency hedging effects. 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 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), rather than the actual end of the period exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q3 2024, the end of the period exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.90 Euros and 1 USD to 0.75 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 outflows 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.

(1)We use a non-GAAP effective tax rate for evaluating our operating results to provide consistency across reporting periods. Based on our long-term projections, we are using a non-GAAP tax rate of 20% and 19% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. 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.
