Digital document workflow pioneer DocuSign this afternoon reported fiscal Q3 revenue and profit that topped Wall Street’s expectations, but offered an outlook that missed consensus for this quarter’s revenue, and raised its year revenue view but still miss the average estimate.
The report sent DocuSign shares down 23% in late trading.
CEO Dan Springer remarked, “After six quarters of accelerated growth, we saw customers return to more normalized buying patterns, resulting in 28% year-over-year billings growth.”
Added Springer, “With a $50 billion TAM and 1.11 million customers worldwide, we are confident in the value DocuSign delivers in an increasingly digital anywhere economy.”
Revenue in the three months ended in July rose 42%, year over year, to $545 million, yielding a net profit of 58 cents a share, excluding some costs.
Analysts had been modeling $533 million and 46 cents per share.
