so what
Domo’s revenue grew nearly 5% year-over-year (YOY) in the second quarter and managed to post a smaller-than-expected loss, but other metrics also point to weaker demand ahead. The company finished the quarter with remaining performance obligations (RPO) of $357.6 million — up just 2% year-over-year. The business intelligence software specialist also issued significant downward revisions to future performance guidance.
What now
For the third quarter, Domo expects sales to be between $78.5 million and $79.5 million. It also expects an adjusted loss per share of between $0.10 and $0.14. Considering that the company posted sales of $79 million and an adjusted net loss of $0.13 in the year-ago quarter, there’s not much to get excited about.
For the full year, management is guiding sales of between $316 million and $320 million, implying annual growth of about 3% at the mid-target. The company is also projecting an adjusted loss per share of between $0.39 and $0.47 in the period.
Prior to its second quarter release, Domo’s latest guidance called for sales to be between $323 million and $330 million and for its adjusted loss to be between $0.27 per share and $0.39 per share.
