“Q4 capped off a year of consistent outperformance driven by strong execution in Commercial Cloud and Vault,” said CFO Tim Cabral. “Our leadership is fueled by a track record of identifying and bringing great cloud solutions to large, underserved markets and a relentless focus on customer success.”

Recent Highlights:

  • Customer Success and Product Excellence Drive Customer Growth and Expansion —Subscription revenue retention was 121% for the year(2) and customer count grew to 861, up from 719 the year prior. Veeva Commercial Cloud grew to 390 customers, up from 335, as Veeva continued to expand its leadership position. Veeva Vault ended the year with 715 customers, having established new relationships with 141 companies that are just starting with their first Vault product(3).
  • Record Quarter and Year for Veeva Commercial Cloud — Veeva extended its leadership in commercial, expanding market share and adding new products and capabilities in the year. Veeva Commercial Cloud and Veeva CRM bookings increased over last year and the pace of new CRM customer wins also accelerated as the company added 53 new customers. Q4 marked the company’s largest commercial SMB win to date, a seven-figure deal to expand CRM and add five Commercial Cloud applications.
  • Veeva Vault Strength Fuels Long-term Opportunity — Veeva Vault Platform is proving to be a unique and powerful asset, enabling rapid innovation and expansion in new and existing markets. The company introduced Veeva Vault Safety in the year and now has 14 early adopters. Continued innovation also fueled momentum in Vault CDMS, which has supported more than 60 clinical studies to date. Overall, Vault showed strength across all markets in the quarter and year. For example, Veeva Vault RIM exited the year with more than 200 customers and had its best quarter ever with enterprise wins at a top 20 and a top 50 pharma.

Financial Outlook:

Veeva is providing guidance for its fiscal first quarter ending April 30, 2020 as follows:

  • Total revenues between $327 and $328 million.
  • Non-GAAP operating income between $117 and $118 million(4).
  • Non-GAAP fully diluted net income per share between $0.59 and $0.60(4).

Veeva is providing guidance for its fiscal year ending January 31, 2021 as follows:

  • Total revenues between $1,400 and $1,405 million.
  • Non-GAAP operating income of roughly $500 million(4).
  • Non-GAAP fully diluted net income per share of about $2.50(4).

(1) This press release uses non-GAAP financial metrics that are adjusted for the impact of various GAAP items. See the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the tables entitled “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for details.

(2) We calculate our annual subscription services revenue retention rate for a particular fiscal year by dividing (i) annualized subscription revenue as of the last day of that fiscal year from those customers that were also customers as of the last day of the prior fiscal year by (ii) the annualized subscription revenue from all customers as of the last day of the prior fiscal year. Annualized subscription revenue is calculated by multiplying the daily subscription revenue recognized on the last day of the fiscal year by 365. This calculation includes the impact on our revenues from customer non-renewals, deployments of additional users or decreases in users, deployments of additional solutions or discontinued use of solutions by our customers, and price changes for our solutions.

(3) The combined customer counts for Veeva Commercial Cloud and Veeva Vault exceed the total customer count in each year because some customers subscribe to products in both areas. Veeva Commercial Cloud customers are those customers that have at least one of the following products: Veeva CRM, Veeva CLM, Veeva CRM Approved Email, Veeva CRM Engage, Veeva Align, Veeva CRM Events Management, Veeva Nitro, Veeva Andi, Veeva OpenData, Veeva Oncology Link, and Veeva Network Customer Master. Veeva Vault customers are those customers that have at least one Vault product. Note that net new customers from Crossix and Physicians World are included in Veeva Commercial Cloud.

(4) Veeva is not able, at this time, to provide GAAP targets for operating income and fully diluted net income per share for the first fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2020 or fiscal year ending January 31, 2021 because of the difficulty of estimating certain items excluded from non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP fully diluted net income per share that cannot be reasonably predicted, such as charges related to stock-based compensation expense. The effect of these excluded items may be significant.

In addition to its GAAP measures, Veeva uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally for budgeting and resource allocation purposes and in analyzing its financial results. For the reasons set forth below, Veeva believes that excluding the following items provides information that is helpful in understanding its operating results, evaluating its future prospects, comparing its financial results across accounting periods, and comparing its financial results to its peers, many of which provide similar non-GAAP financial measures.

  • Stock-based compensation expenses. Veeva excludes stock-based compensation expenses primarily because they are non-cash expenses that Veeva excludes from its internal management reporting processes. Veeva’s management also finds it useful to exclude these expenses when they assess the appropriate level of various operating expenses and resource allocations when budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods. Moreover, because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use under FASB ASC Topic 718, Veeva believes excluding stock-based compensation expenses allows investors to make meaningful comparisons between our recurring core business operating results and those of other companies.
  • Amortization of purchased intangibles. Veeva incurs amortization expense for purchased intangible assets in connection with acquisitions of certain businesses and technologies. Amortization of intangible assets is a non-cash expense and is inconsistent in amount and frequency because it is significantly affected by the timing, size of acquisitions and the inherent subjective nature of purchase price allocations. Because these costs have already been incurred and cannot be recovered, and are non-cash expenses, Veeva excludes these expenses for its internal management reporting processes. Veeva’s management also finds it useful to exclude these charges when assessing the appropriate level of various operating expenses and resource allocations when budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to Veeva’s revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to Veeva’s future period revenues as well.
  • Deferred compensation associated with the Zinc Ahead business acquisition. The Zinc Ahead share purchase agreement, as revised, called for share purchase consideration to be deferred and paid at a rate of one-third of the deferred consideration amount per year to certain former Zinc Ahead employee shareholders and option holders who remain employed with Veeva on each deferred consideration payment date. In accordance with GAAP, these payments are being accounted for as deferred compensation and the expense is recognized over the requisite service period. Veeva’s management views this deferred compensation expense as an unusual acquisition cost associated with the Zinc Ahead acquisition and finds it useful to exclude it in order to assess the appropriate level of various operating expenses to assist in budgeting, planning and forecasting future periods. Veeva believes excluding this deferred compensation expense may allow investors to make more meaningful comparisons between its recurring operating results and those of other companies.
  • Income tax effects on the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP costs and expenses. The income tax effects that are excluded relate to the imputed tax impact on the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP costs and expenses due to stock-based compensation, purchased intangibles, and deferred compensation associated with the Zinc Ahead business acquisition for GAAP and non-GAAP measures.

There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures because non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures provided by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures are limited in value because they exclude certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by Veeva’s management about which items are adjusted to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures. Veeva compensates for these limitations by analyzing current and future results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis and also by providing GAAP measures in its public disclosures.

Beginning with the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2019, Veeva no longer excludes the effects of capitalization of internal-use software development expenses and the subsequent amortization of the capitalized expenses in its non-GAAP financial measures. Prior periods have been adjusted to reflect this change, and the effect of this change is not material for any period previously presented.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Veeva encourages its investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business, and to view its non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables below.
