 | Dec 04, 2018 03:22AM ET

Smartsheet Inc. (NYSE:SMAR) reported third-quarter fiscal 2019 non-GAAP loss of 9 cents per share, which was narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 16 cents and year-ago quarter loss of 11 cents.

Revenues surged 59.5% year over year to $46.9 million and surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $44 million. The increase in revenues was driven by customer wins, product launches and efficient performance of the sales force.

Quarter in Details

Subscription revenues climbed 57.3% from the year-ago quarter to $41.5 million. This growth was driven by scale in hosting and flat credit card processing fees.

Professional services revenues soared 82.8% from the year-ago quarter to $5.3 million, driven by efficient performance of consulting staff.

Smartsheet was successful in attracting large customers in the reported quarter. Annual recurring revenues (ARR) for customers paying $50,000 or more and $5,000 or more per year were 360 and 5575, respectively compared with 298 and 4956 customers in the previous quarter, reflecting a year-over-year increase 148% and 70%.

The company also recorded robust billings of $54.9 million, up 69% year over year. This was driven primarily by new product launch and large customer wins in the reported quarter. Notably, 34 customers paying $50,000 or more expanded from 26 customers in the previous quarter.

Smartsheet also witnessed an increase in net dollar retention rate of 132%, increasing 1% year over year, primarily driven by its portfolio strength. Moreover, the company recorded a low attrition rate, which contributed to strong renewal rates.

The company also launched 23 new products including enhanced dashboards, assignment capabilities, time-based triggers and individual workflow builder, in the reported quarter.

In the reported quarter, Smartsheet was among the four cloud service providers accepted into an accelerated program to receive certification from the federal government. Such certifications are expected to make the company more attractive to large enterprises in the near term.

Smartsheet’s average annualized contract value (ACV) per domain-based customer grew 48% year over year, reflecting growing demand for the company’s products, which is a tailwind.
