PLEASANTON, Calif., Aug. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Veeva Systems Inc. (NYSE: VEEV), a leading provider of industry cloud solutions for the global life sciences industry, today announced results for its second quarter ended July 31, 2023.
"We had a great quarter with progress across the board that was particularly significant in CRM and clinical," said CEO Peter Gassner. "Thanks to our customers for your partnership and to the Veeva team for your continued focus on customer success and product excellence."
Fiscal 2024 Second Quarter Results:
- Revenues: Total revenues for the second quarter were $590.2 million, up from $534.2 million one year ago, an increase of 10% year over year. Subscription services revenues for the second quarter were $470.6 million, up from $428.6 million one year ago, an increase of 10% year over year.
- Operating Income and Non-GAAP Operating Income(1): Second quarter operating income was $104.0 million, compared to $101.1 million one year ago, an increase of 3% year over year. Non-GAAP operating income for the second quarter was $211.9 million, compared to $202.0 million one year ago, an increase of 5% year over year.
- Net Income and Non-GAAP Net Income(1): Second quarter net income was $111.6 million, compared to $90.6 million one year ago, an increase of 23% year over year. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter was $198.0 million, compared to $166.2 million one year ago, an increase of 19% year over year.
- Net Income per Share and Non-GAAP Net Income per Share(1): For the second quarter, fully diluted net income per share was $0.68, compared to $0.56 one year ago, while non-GAAP fully diluted net income per share was $1.21, compared to $1.03 one year ago.
- Customer Contracting Change: The previously announced customer contracting change that standardized termination for convenience (TFC) rights in our master subscription agreements went into effect on February 1, 2023. This resulted in a change in the timing of revenue for certain customer contracts to which a TFC right was added and reduced revenues, operating income and non-GAAP operating income, and net income and non-GAAP net income in the second quarter.
"In the second quarter, we delivered strong financial performance across the board including results ahead of all guided metrics," said CFO Brent Bowman. "We are executing well and our proven operating model will continue to drive strong growth and profitability well into the future."

___________
(1) This press release uses non-GAAP financial metrics that are adjusted for the impact of various GAAP items. See the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the tables entitled "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for details.
(2) Veeva is not able, at this time, to provide GAAP targets for operating income and fully diluted net income per share for the third fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2023, the fiscal year ending January 31, 2024, or the fiscal year ending January 31, 2025, because of the difficulty of estimating certain items excluded from non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP fully diluted net income per share that cannot be reasonably predicted, such as charges related to stock-based compensation expense. The effect of these excluded items may be significant.
