| Like, I was very pleased with our overall performance |
| Lastly, we delivered almost 10 percentage points of non-GAAP operating margin expansion year-over-year |
| It's very pleased, it was very broad-based |
| So our pulse with our customers as we're going through renewals is much better |
| And I'm also encouraged that for the third quarter in a row, actuals were in line with what the forward-looking indicators were projecting |
| We came in above our guide on Q4 operating profit and delivered positive free cash flow for the third consecutive quarter |
| I'm optimistic about what we'll accomplish in 2024 and beyond |
| I'm proud of how the team delivered |
| First, we made great progress in stabilizing the business, focusing on what we can control, we delivered margin expansion and positive free cash flow even against slowing growth |
| Second, we launched our Plus plan in October, helping us to serve the lower end of the market much more effectively with a product-led growth motion |
| We're demonstrating fiscal responsibility and proving ourselves strong stewards of shareholder capital by delivering 13 points of free cash flow margin improvement year-over-year, even against slowing growth in a stubbornly challenging macro environment |
| Third, we had our strongest year ever for product innovation |
| It was also the largest quarter of new enterprise logo wins, which were a positive indicator to the momentum we are building as part of the win the enterprise pillar of our broader strategy |
| This will all help to drive business growth towards the end of the year and set us up for greater success in the future |
| But we have seen some upgrading over time, and we expect that that will be a fantastic channel for our enterprise team |
| We see continued validation that our strategic approach, a digital analytics platform with product analytics at its core is the right one to win in the long-term |
| First, on the enterprise side, like I said, a record number of lands there on the high end, and so that was fantastic to see |
| Elizabeth Elliott Really impressive acceleration in the new total customer call |
| Operating profit was a positive $2.3 million or 3% of revenue, almost a 10 percentage point improvement on a year-over-year basis |
| We are already getting strong feedback and encouraging early traction with customers already ripping and replacing point solutions with our session replay offering |
| For the full year 2023, free cash flow was positive $22.4 million or 8% of revenue, a 13 percentage point improvement over last year's margin of negative 5% |
| So that's been very good |
| The top of our list are continued product innovation, platform expansion, product-led growth, professional services and business application infrastructure to better enable our go-to-market efforts |
| We believe AI will dramatically improve the caliber of digital products and experiences |
| Our go-to-market efforts will be even more targeted and effective, which we believe will drive much higher sales productivity, NRR and revenue acceleration |
| You guys clearly have made some tremendous strides on managing that churn |
| It's our execution is getting better |
| This will improve the customer life cycle, unlocking the full potential of its ecosystem |
| Our ability to convey the platform in its entirety and the initial capabilities experiment in CDP and now Session Replay could bring is something we're doing to offset that churn and the team is getting better and better about it |
| Plus is tracking ahead of an early internal expectations |
| Statement |
|---|
| It is a small part of our top line, but it did drop off in Q4 below the expectations |
| And 2Q revs being down sequentially |
| Specific to quarter-to-quarter dynamics, we expect Q2 revenue to be down slightly from Q1 due to the timing of anticipated churn within each of the respective quarters |
| It looked like the revenue performance was a little bit light of the midpoint of guidance |
| It have been using a legacy MarTech solution for years but it lacked adoption, trust and relevance |
| So it looks like you are guiding margins to be down from this year |
| So was there anything unusual to call out in terms of linearity in the quarter, maybe more back-end loaded? And then the follow-up question is, as we just think about the guidance for 2024, with sequential revenue declines in Q2 |
| While we have guided to operating profit for fiscal year 2024, we expect to generate a non-GAAP operating loss in the first half of 2024 due to the timing of certain events, such as employee tax resets and a higher concentration of discretionary spending |
| So there's a lot as I've been talking about, we're not happy with where it's at |
| We expect end period NRR to remain below 100% and NRR to trough in the mid-90s this year |
| While total churn was still high, it was lower than previous quarters |
| The planned beat that I had rolled into the midpoint did not materialize and we came in about $200,000 below that |
| Commensurate level doesn't mean down, and we did say that Q4 was down relative to Q2 and Q3 |
| So it seems like the guide implies a steady deceleration throughout the year |
| We expect year-over-year ARR growth will trough in Q3 of this year in mid-single digits |
| And clearly, that will be a temporary environment that we're going to face at that end of our market |
| Net income per share was $0.04 based on 129.2 million of fully diluted shares compared to a loss of $0.03 with 113.1 million shares a year ago |
| And it did kind of came in lower than what our historical models had suggested for Q4, which definitely prompted us to update how we were looking at that heading into Q1 and the rest of 2024 |
| In terms of now versus a year ago, I'd say it's maybe slightly stronger I think there's still pressure on a lot of digital native ad tech companies as they're optimizing spend |
| The second theme that's there is at the low end, right? It's the venture capital-funded companies where they are struggling to survive |
