Summary
Salesforce, Inc. (CRM) reported its Q3 fiscal year 2020 results for the period ending October 31, 2019. The company saw significant revenue growth, with total revenues reaching $4.5 billion, a 33% increase year-over-year. This growth was primarily driven by a 34% increase in subscription and support revenues. A notable aspect of this quarter was the completion of two major acquisitions: Tableau Software, Inc. in August 2019 for $14.8 billion and ClickSoftware Technologies Ltd. in October 2019 for $1.4 billion. These acquisitions contributed to a substantial increase in assets, including goodwill and intangible assets, and also increased operating expenses due to amortization and integration costs. Despite the strong revenue growth, the company reported a net loss of $109 million for the quarter, compared to a net income of $105 million in the prior year's same quarter. This loss was influenced by a one-time $166 million charge related to the settlement of a reseller agreement with Salesforce.org, as well as increased operating expenses from R&D and marketing & sales, largely driven by the integration of recent acquisitions and stock-based compensation expenses.
