Sprinklr (NYSE:CXM), the unified customer experience management (Unified-CXM) platform for modern enterprises, today reported financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2024.

"In the second quarter, we continued to expand our customer base with our industry-recognized AI-powered platform and delivered our 7th consecutive quarter of free cash flow. As we work through continued market challenges, we are taking decisive steps to strengthen our foundation to reaccelerate growth and expand margins—a process that will take several quarters. Despite these challenges, we believe that Sprinklr remains uniquely positioned to help large global enterprises unlock and deploy the power of AI across the front office, as demonstrated by multiple global deals won this quarter across all our product suites," said Ragy Thomas, Sprinklr Founder and Co-CEO.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial Highlights

Revenue: Total revenue for the second quarter was $197.2 million, up from $178.5 million one year ago, an increase of 11% year-over-year. Subscription revenue for the second quarter was $177.9 million, up from $163.5 million one year ago, an increase of 9% year-over-year.

Non-GAAP operating income was $15.2 million, compared to non-GAAP operating income of $21.3 million one year ago. For the second quarter, GAAP operating margin was 0% and non-GAAP operating margin was 8% compared to GAAP operating margin of 3% and non-GAAP operating margin of 12% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024.

* Free cash flow, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP net income per share are non-GAAP financial measures defined under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures," and are reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities, operating (loss) income, net income or net income per share, as applicable, the closest comparable GAAP measure, at the end of this release.

Financial Outlook

Sprinklr is providing the following guidance for the third fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2024:

Subscription revenue between $177.5 million and $178.5 million.
Total revenue between $196 million and $197 million.
Non-GAAP operating income between $19 million and $20 million.
Non-GAAP net income per share of approximately $0.08 assuming 266 million diluted weighted-average shares outstanding.

Sprinklr is providing the following guidance for the full fiscal year ending January 31, 2025:

Subscription revenue between $710.5 million and $712.5 million.
Total revenue between $785 million and $787 million.
Non-GAAP operating income between $80.5 million and $81.5 million.
Non-GAAP net income per share between $0.32 and $0.33, assuming 270 million diluted weighted-average shares outstanding.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe that the following non-GAAP financial measures associated with our condensed consolidated statements of operations are useful in evaluating our operating performance:

Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin;
Non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin; and
Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share.

We define these non-GAAP financial measures as the respective U.S. GAAP measures, excluding, as applicable, stock-based compensation expense and related charges and amortization of acquired intangible assets. We believe that it is useful to exclude stock-based compensation expense-related charges and amortization of acquired intangible assets in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core business and to facilitate comparison of our results to those of peer companies over multiple periods.

In addition, we believe that free cash flow is also a useful non-GAAP financial measure. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software. We believe that free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity as it measures our ability to generate cash, or our need to access additional sources of cash, to fund operations and investments. We expect our free cash flow to fluctuate in future periods with changes in our operating expenses and as we continue to invest in our growth. We typically experience higher billings in the fourth quarter compared to other quarters and experience higher collections of accounts receivable in the first half of the year, which results in a decrease in accounts receivable in the first half of the year.

However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. As a result, our non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Sprinklr has not reconciled its financial outlook expectations as to non-GAAP operating income or as to non-GAAP net income per share to their respective most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures as a result of the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures, in particular, the measures and effects of stock-based compensation expense specific to equity compensation awards that are directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in our stock price. We expect the variability of the above charges to have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future U.S. GAAP financial results. Accordingly, reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort, although it is important to note that these factors could be material to Sprinklr's results computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
