Late Wednesday, the business software manufacturer released fiscal second-quarter earnings, with operating margin expectations being a bright feature.

Second Quarter earnings

Salesforce CRM’s second-quarter fiscal 2022 results were better than predicted. The company’s non-GAAP earnings of $1.48 per share in the fiscal second quarter are easily above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 91 cents. Quarterly earnings grew 3% year over year, owing to greater revenues and 43 cents per share in gains from mark-to-market accounting of the company’s strategic investments, despite a non-GAAP tax rate of 21.5 percent.

Salesforce’s quarterly sales of $6.34 billion increased by 23% year over year, above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6.23 billion. In constant currency, the top-line number increased by 21%. (cc).

As clients undertake substantial digital transformations, the business cloud computing solutions provider has benefited from the strong demand environment. The company’s cloud-based solutions were quickly adopted, resulting in better-than-expected results in the fiscal second quarter.

Subscriptions and Sales

When it comes to the company’s business sectors, Subscription and Support sales (93 percent of total revenues) rose by roughly 22% year over year to $5.91 billion. Revenues from Professional Services and Other (7 percent of total sales) increased by 37% to $426 million.

Sales Cloud revenues increased 15% year over year to $1.48 billion in the Subscription and Support division. Service Cloud, one of the company’s largest and fastest-growing businesses, had a 23 percent increase in revenue to $1.6 billion. Furthermore, Marketing & Commerce Cloud sales increased by 28% to $955 million. Revenues from Salesforce Platform and Other increased by 24% to $1.88 billion.

Revenue Growth

On a year-over-year basis, the firm saw revenue growth of 20 percent in the Americas (68 percent of total revenues), 25 percent in the Asia Pacific (10 percent), and 24 percent in Europe and Middle East Asia or EMEA (22 percent). The integration of acquisitions into the company’s billing procedures boosted the year-over-year gains in the Asia Pacific and EMEA areas.

Salesforce’s gross profit increased by 23% from the previous year to $4.73 billion. Furthermore, the gross margin increased by 10 basis points to 74.6 percent.

2022 Quarter forecasts

The business increased its fiscal 2022 revenue forecast to $26.2-$26.3 billion, up from $25.9-$26 billion previously forecasts. The recently acquired firms Slack and Acumen are projected to contribute $530 million and $200 million in sales, respectively, to the revised forecast.

Management also raised its non-GAAP operating margin target for fiscal 2022 from 18 percent to 18.5 percent. The Slack and Acumen purchases have added a 150-basis-point headwind to the revised forecast.

The firm now expects non-GAAP profits of $4.36 to $4.38 per share in fiscal 2022, up from its previous guidance of $3.79-$3.81 per share.

Mergers and acquisitions headwinds of 51 cents per share are assumed in the updated earnings forecast.Total revenues are expected to be between $6.78 billion and $6.79 billion in the fiscal second quarter. Salesforce also expects non-GAAP earnings per share in the 91-92 cent range for the current quarter.
