Asana
ASAN
is slated to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Mar 9.
For the fiscal fourth quarter, Asana anticipates non-GAAP net loss to be 28-27 cents per share. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the bottom line is pegged at a loss of 28 cents per share, which has remained steady over the past 30 days.
Asana expects revenues in the range of $104.5 million to $105.5 million, indicating growth between 53% and 54% from the year-ago period reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues stands at $105.7 million, suggesting an improvement of 53.68% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Asana’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 15.17%.
Factors to Note
Asana’s fourth-quarter fiscal 2022 results are likely to reflect an expanded enterprise customer base as Asana’s Work Graph data model has been gaining traction.
The number of customers spending $5,000 or more on an annualized basis grew to 14,143, an increase of 96% year over year in the fiscal third quarter. The number of customers spending $50,000 or more on an annualized basis grew to 739, suggesting an increase of 132% year over year.
The company witnessed high retention rates in the fiscal third quarter, which translated into continued strong net new paying customer growth and strong seed expansion for its SaaS-based work management platform.
This momentum is expected to have sustained in the to-be-reported quarter.
The expansion of Asana’s Channel Partner network across 75 countries is might have acted as a key growth driver in the fiscal fourth quarter.
