Summary
Workday, Inc.'s (WDAY) 10-Q filing for the period ending July 31, 2018, reveals continued strong revenue growth, driven primarily by its subscription services. Total revenues increased by 28% year-over-year for both the three and six-month periods. While the company continues to invest heavily in product development and sales and marketing to fuel future growth, resulting in a GAAP operating loss, its non-GAAP operating margins showed improvement. The company also maintained a robust liquidity position with substantial cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. A significant event during the quarter was the conversion of the 0.75% convertible senior notes due July 15, 2018, and the company is preparing for the acquisition of Adaptive Insights, Inc., which closed shortly after the reporting period. Investors should note Workday's ongoing commitment to long-term growth through strategic investments, balanced by a focus on expanding its customer base and market reach.
