integrations, Datadog is one of the first AI/ML observability
solution partners for Vertex AI, allowing AI Ops teams and
developers to monitor, analyze and optimize the performance of
their machine learning models in production.

The impact of this
change was a reduction in non-GAAP net income per diluted share of
$0.11 and $0.32 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter and
fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. Our
non-GAAP net income per diluted share guidance for the fourth
quarter 2023 and full year 2023 issued on November 7, 2023 did not
reflect an adjustment for an assumed provision for income
taxes.
|
First Quarter and Fiscal Year 2024 Outlook:
Based on information as of today, February 13, 2024,
Datadog is providing the following guidance:
- First Quarter 2024 Outlook:
- Revenue between $587 million and
$591 million.
- Non-GAAP operating income between $128
million and $132 million.
- Non-GAAP net income per share between $0.33 and $0.35,
assuming approximately 357 million weighted average diluted shares
outstanding.
- Fiscal Year 2024 Outlook:
- Revenue between $2.555 billion
and $2.575 billion.
- Non-GAAP operating income between $535
million and $555 million.
- Non-GAAP net income per share between $1.38 and $1.44,
assuming approximately 361 million weighted average diluted shares
outstanding.
The outlook for non-GAAP net income per diluted share is
adjusted for an assumed provision for income taxes based on
our long-term projected tax rate of 21%. Our presentation of
non-GAAP net income, including non-GAAP net income guidance, in
future periods will reflect an adjustment for an assumed provision
for income taxes, as appropriate.
Datadog has not reconciled its expectations as to non-GAAP
operating income, or as to non-GAAP net income per share, to their
most directly comparable GAAP measure as a result of uncertainty
regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such
as stock-based compensation and employer payroll taxes on equity
incentive plans. Accordingly, reconciliation is not available
without unreasonable effort, although it is important to note that
these factors could be material to Datadog's results computed in
accordance with GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and the earnings call referencing this press
release contain "forward-looking" statements, as that term is
defined under the federal securities laws, including but not
limited to statements regarding Datadog's strategy, product and
platform capabilities, the growth in and ability to capitalize on
long-term market opportunities including the pace and scope of
cloud migration and digital transformation, gross margins and
operating margins including with respect to sales and marketing,
research and development expenses, net interest and other income,
investments and capital expenditures, and Datadog's future
financial performance, including its outlook for the first quarter
and fiscal year 2024 and related notes and assumptions. These
forward-looking statements are based on Datadog's current
assumptions, expectations and beliefs and are subject to
substantial risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in
circumstances that may cause Datadog's actual results, performance
or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or
implied in any forward-looking statement.
The risks and uncertainties referred to above include, but are
not limited to (1) our recent rapid growth may not be indicative of
our future growth; (2) our history of operating losses; (3) our
limited operating history; (4) our dependence on existing customers
purchasing additional subscriptions and products from us and
renewing their subscriptions; (5) our ability to attract new
customers; (6) our ability to effectively develop and expand our
sales and marketing capabilities; (7) risk of a security breach;
(8) risk of interruptions or performance problems associated with
our products and platform capabilities; (9) our ability to adapt
and respond to rapidly changing technology or customer needs; (10)
the competitive markets in which we participate; (11) risks
associated with successfully managing our growth; and (12) general
market, political, economic, and business conditions including
concerns about reduced economic growth and associated decreases in
information technology spending. These risks and uncertainties are
more fully described in our filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC), including in the section entitled "Risk
Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 2023, filed with the
SEC on November 7, 2023. Additional
information will be made available in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and other filings
and reports that we may file from time to time with the SEC.
Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing
environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible
for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the
impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any
factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to
differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and
assumptions, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of
activity, performance, achievements, or events and circumstances
reflected in the forward-looking statements will occur.
Forward-looking statements represent our beliefs and assumptions
only as of the date of this press release. We disclaim any
obligation to update forward-looking statements.
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Datadog discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures in
this release and the earnings call referencing this press release:
non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating
expenses (research and development, sales and marketing and general
and administrative), non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP
operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income
(loss) per diluted share, non-GAAP net income (loss) per basic
share, free cash flow and free cash flow margin. Datadog uses each
of these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand and
compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal
budgeting and forecasting purposes, for short- and long-term
operating plans, and to evaluate Datadog's financial performance.
Datadog believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to
GAAP measures, in evaluating its operational performance, as
further discussed below. Datadog's non-GAAP financial measures may
not provide information that is directly comparable to that
provided by other companies in its industry, as other companies in
its industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently,
particularly related to non-recurring and unusual items. In
addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial
measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared
in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP
financial measures used by other companies and exclude expenses
that may have a material impact on Datadog's reported financial
results.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in
isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information
prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the
historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly
comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial
statement tables included below in this press release.
Datadog defines non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin,
non-GAAP operating expenses (research and development, sales and
marketing and general and administrative), non-GAAP operating
income (loss), non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP net income
(loss) as the respective GAAP balances, adjusted for, as
applicable: (1) stock-based compensation expense; (2) the
amortization of acquired intangibles; (3) employer payroll taxes on
employee stock transactions; (4) amortization of issuance costs;
and (5) an assumed provision for income taxes based on our
long-term projected tax rate. Our estimated long-term projected tax
rate is subject to change for a variety of reasons, including the
rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant changes in
Datadog's geographic earnings mix, or other changes to our strategy
or business operations. We will re-evaluate our long-term projected
tax rate as appropriate. Datadog defines free cash flow as net cash
provided by operating activities, minus capital expenditures and
minus capitalized software development costs, if any. Investors are
encouraged to review the reconciliation of these historical
non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful
to investors and others in assessing Datadog's operating
performance due to the following factors:
Stock-based compensation. Datadog utilizes
stock-based compensation to attract and retain employees. It is
principally aimed at aligning their interests with those of its
stockholders and at long-term retention, rather than to address
operational performance for any particular period. As a result,
stock-based compensation expenses vary for reasons that are
generally unrelated to financial and operational performance in any
particular period.
Amortization of acquired intangibles. Datadog views
amortization of acquired intangible assets as items arising from
pre-acquisition activities determined at the time of an
acquisition. While these intangible assets are evaluated for
impairment regularly, amortization of the cost of acquired
intangibles is an expense that is not typically affected by
operations during any particular period.
Employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions.
Datadog excludes employer payroll tax expense on equity incentive
plans as these expenses are tied to the exercise or vesting of
underlying equity awards and the price of Datadog's common stock at
the time of vesting or exercise. As a result, these taxes may vary
in any particular period independent of the financial and operating
performance of Datadog's business.
Amortization of issuance costs. In June 2020, Datadog issued $747.5 million of convertible senior notes due
2025, which bear interest at an annual fixed rate of 0.125%. Debt
issuance costs, which reduce the carrying value of the convertible
debt instrument, are amortized as interest expense over the term.
The expense for the amortization of debt issuance costs is a
non-cash item, and we believe the exclusion of this interest
expense will provide for a more useful comparison of our
operational performance in different periods.
Additionally, Datadog's management believes that the non-GAAP
financial measure free cash flow is meaningful to investors because
it is a measure of liquidity that provides useful information in
understanding and evaluating the strength of our liquidity and
future ability to generate cash that can be used for strategic
opportunities or investing in our business. Free cash flow
represents net cash provided by operating activities, reduced by
capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs, if
any. The reduction of capital expenditures and amounts capitalized
for software development facilitates comparisons of Datadog's
liquidity on a period-to-period basis and excludes items that
management does not consider to be indicative of our liquidity.
Operating Metrics
Datadog's number of customers with ARR of $100,000 or more and number of customers with ARR
of $1 million or more are based on
the ARR of each customer, as of the last month of the quarter.
We define the number of customers as the number of accounts with
a unique account identifier for which we have an active
subscription in the period indicated. Users of our free trials or
tier are not included in our customer count. A single organization
with multiple divisions, segments or subsidiaries is generally
counted as a single customer. However, in some cases where they
have separate billing terms, we may count separate divisions,
segments or subsidiaries as multiple customers.
We define ARR as the annualized revenue run-rate of subscription
agreements from all customers at a point in time. We calculate ARR
by taking the monthly recurring revenue, or MRR, and multiplying it
by 12. MRR for each month is calculated by aggregating, for all
customers during that month, monthly revenue from committed
contractual amounts, additional usage, usage from subscriptions for
a committed contractual amount of usage that is delivered as used,
and monthly subscriptions. ARR and MRR should be viewed
independently of revenue, and do not represent our revenue under
GAAP on a monthly or annualized basis, as they are operating
metrics that can be impacted by contract start and end dates and
renewal rates. ARR and MRR are not intended to be replacements or
forecasts of revenue.

information for the periods shown are adjusted for an assumed
provision for income taxes based on our long-term projected tax
rate of 21%. Due to the differences in the tax treatment of items
excluded from non-GAAP earnings, our estimated tax rate on non-GAAP
income may differ from our GAAP tax rate and from our actual tax
liabilities.
