The Basic Issue with GAAP
Traditional Income Statements are Backward Looking

Income Statement
For Period Ending December 31, 2013

Traditional income statements measure revenue based
on how much money you made this past period.

Again, GAAP is good for Manufacturing
Traditional Income Statements are One-timed Focused

Income Statement
For Period Ending December 31, 2013

one-time from recurring revenue or expenses.

Wall Street Uses GAAP, But The Picture is Incomplete

Revenue is the only relevant information in GAAP…but it is just a piece
of the picture.

Slide 20 − Zuora Confidential, not for distribution beyond intended recipient
Analysts are Getting Paid to Calc Churn

Wall Street tries to back into The 3 Metrics that Matter… but it is really just
an estimate.

Slide 21 − Zuora Confidential, not for distribution beyond intended recipient
The Formula for Looking at a SaaS Business

ARRn – Churn + ACV = ARRn+1

you start the
period @ some
recurring
revenue rate

you do a good
job & minimize
the amount of
ARR that goes
away

Slide 22 − Zuora Confidential, not for distribution beyond intended recipient

you invest in
growing ARR by
acquiring new
ACV

You then end up
at a new ARR
level, kicking off
the next period
The Subscription Economy Income Statement
First,
you begin w/

Annual Recurring Revenue

Editor's Notes

  1. Many of you may have read the report since we sort of set up the registration as a “twofer” It’s a pretty good report despite the fact that it’s been out there for a few months – there were five things I found interesting
  2. We were really interested when Adobe made this move.
  3. But everyone (Wired Businessweek)pig piled on Adobe and said the hardcore creatives are mad.
  4. Thank you Yahoo Finance. Way better than Google finance.
  5. This is easier to read than Salesforce’s earnings releases.
  6. But really, marketing and engineering did a lot of the heavy lifting here. But they didn’t build some science fiction SaaS architecture
  7. All of Adobe’s software is installed. They have a cloud that enables you to share stuff, collaborate on stuff and view stuff, but you still install photoshop on your local machine. People are always confusing SaaS with Subscription and recurring revenue.
  8. Predictability!Collaboration 20GB Storage Cross device / Mobile Run any version of the software
  9. http://www.zdnet.com/adobes-q3-q4-outlook-fall-short-but-creative-cloud-surges-7000020800/
  10. Mental Detour – Let’s talk about Wall Street – Mad Money
  11. Predictability!
  12. There is a bunch of stuff about “Diluted EPS”
  13. I decided to throw Nuance under the bus again.
