Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How did Veeva perform in its fiscal 2025 second quarter?

    Total revenues were $676.2 million, up 15% year over year, and subscription services revenues were $561.3 million, up 19%. GAAP operating income was $166.5 million and GAAP net income was $171.0 million, both higher than the prior-year quarter.

  2. Did the company change its financial outlook?

    Yes. For fiscal 2025 the company updated its guidance to total revenues of $2,704–$2,710 million, non-GAAP operating income of about $1,080 million, and non-GAAP fully diluted EPS of approximately $6.22. It also provided fiscal third-quarter guidance of $682–$685 million in revenues and $1.57–$1.58 in non-GAAP EPS.

  3. Why are GAAP and non-GAAP results presented differently?
