The CRM Leader Reports

Weeks after the biggest tech leaders reported their own fourth-quarter performance, the head of customer relationship management announced its earnings that had mixed reviews on Wall Street. Salesforce, one of the largest providers of CRM software, reported fourth quarter earnings that beat on both top and bottom lines. During the period, Salesforce jotted revenues of $9.29 billion and an earnings per share of $2.29, beating estimates by $70 million and 3 cents per share. Sales grew roughly 10.8% year-over-year, but the firm’s professional service revenue did decline by 9%. Its net income was positive at $1.45 billion compared to a loss last year of $98 million.

During after market trading, Salesforce’s stock fell over 6% and then sharply climbed into green territory, staying fairly flat just ahead of the market’s Thursday opening bell. The mixed reviews from investors didn’t seem to be carried by the firm’s efforts to please shareholders through its capital market announcements. For the first time in the firm’s history, Salesforce will pay a quarterly dividend of 40 cents per share alongside a $10 billion increase in its stock repurchase program. For the current quarter, Salesforce also increased its guidance with an estimate earnings per share between $2.37 and $2.39, better than analysts’ forecasts of $2.20. Nevertheless, Salesforce has been able to soar 17% this year as it continues to navigate a difficult sales environment.
