Enterprise workflow software maker ServiceNow (NYSE:NOW) will be announcing earnings results tomorrow after the bell. Here’s what you need to know.
ServiceNow beat analysts’ revenue expectations by 1.9% last quarter, reporting revenues of $2.80 billion, up 22.2% year on year. It was a satisfactory quarter for the company, with an impressive beat of analysts’ current remaining performance obligation estimates but decelerating growth in large customers. It added 32 enterprise customers paying more than $1 million annually to reach a total of 2,020.
