Second Quarter and Full Year 2024 Outlook:
Based on information as of today, May 7, 2024, Datadog is providing the following guidance:
- Second Quarter 2024 Outlook:
- Revenue between $620 million and $624 million.
- Non-GAAP operating income between $134 million and $138 million.
- Non-GAAP net income per share between $0.34 and $0.36, assuming approximately 360 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding.
- Full Year 2024 Outlook:
- Revenue between $2.59 billion and $2.61 billion.
- Non-GAAP operating income between $585 million and $605 million.
- Non-GAAP net income per share between $1.51 and $1.57, assuming approximately 361 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding.
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.
