Third Quarter and Full Year 2024 Outlook:

Based on information as of today, August 8, 2024, Datadog is providing the following guidance:

Third Quarter 2024 Outlook:Revenue between $660 million and $664 million.Non-GAAP operating income between $146 million and $150 million.Non-GAAP net income per share between $0.38 and $0.40, assuming approximately 360 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding.Full Year 2024 Outlook:Revenue between $2.62 billion and $2.63 billion.Non-GAAP operating income between $620 million and $630 million.Non-GAAP net income per share between $1.62 and $1.66, assuming approximately 360 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Datadog has not reconciled its expectations as to non-GAAP operating income, or as to non-GAAP net income per share, to their most directly comparable GAAP measure as a result of uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as stock-based compensation and employer payroll taxes on equity incentive plans. Accordingly, reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort, although it is important to note that these factors could be material to Datadog’s results computed in accordance with GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release and the earnings call referencing this press release contain “forward-looking” statements, as that term is defined under the federal securities laws, including but not limited to statements regarding Datadog’s strategy, product and platform capabilities, the growth in and ability to capitalize on long-term market opportunities including the pace and scope of cloud migration and digital transformation, gross margins and operating margins including with respect to sales and marketing, research and development expenses, net interest and other income, cash taxes, investments and capital expenditures, and Datadog’s future financial performance, including its outlook for the third quarter and the full year 2024 and related notes and assumptions. These forward-looking statements are based on Datadog’s current assumptions, expectations and beliefs and are subject to substantial risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause Datadog’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement.

The risks and uncertainties referred to above include, but are not limited to (1) our recent rapid growth may not be indicative of our future growth; (2) our history of operating losses; (3) our limited operating history; (4) our dependence on existing customers purchasing additional subscriptions and products from us and renewing their subscriptions; (5) our ability to attract new customers; (6) our ability to effectively develop and expand our sales and marketing capabilities; (7) risk of a security breach; (8) risk of interruptions or performance problems associated with our products and platform capabilities; (9) our ability to adapt and respond to rapidly changing technology or customer needs; (10) the competitive markets in which we participate; (11) risks associated with successfully managing our growth; and (12) general market, political, economic, and business conditions including concerns about reduced economic growth and associated decreases in information technology spending.

Additional information will be made available in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and other filings and reports that we may file from time to time with the SEC. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time.

Forward-looking statements represent our beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this press release. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Datadog discloses the following non-GAAP financial measures in this release and the earnings call referencing this press release: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses (research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative), non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share, non-GAAP net income (loss) per basic share, free cash flow and free cash flow margin. Datadog uses each of these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, for short- and long-term operating plans, and to evaluate Datadog’s financial performance. Datadog believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating its operational performance, as further discussed below. Datadog’s non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in its industry, as other companies in its industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring and unusual items. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on Datadog’s reported financial results.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release.

Datadog defines non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses (research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative), non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP net income (loss) as the respective GAAP balances, adjusted for, as applicable: (1) stock-based compensation expense; (2) the amortization of acquired intangibles; (3) employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions; (4) amortization of issuance costs; and (5) an assumed provision for income taxes based on our long-term projected tax rate. Our estimated long-term projected tax rate is subject to change for a variety of reasons, including the rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant changes in Datadog’s geographic earnings mix, or other changes to our strategy or business operations. We will re-evaluate our long-term projected tax rate as appropriate. Datadog defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, minus capital expenditures and minus capitalized software development costs, if any. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these historical non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and others in assessing Datadog’s operating performance due to the following factors:

Stock-based compensation. Datadog utilizes stock-based compensation to attract and retain employees. It is principally aimed at aligning their interests with those of its stockholders and at long-term retention, rather than to address operational performance for any particular period. As a result, stock-based compensation expenses vary for reasons that are generally unrelated to financial and operational performance in any particular period.

Amortization of acquired intangibles. Datadog views amortization of acquired intangible assets as items arising from pre-acquisition activities determined at the time of an acquisition. While these intangible assets are evaluated for impairment regularly, amortization of the cost of acquired intangibles is an expense that is not typically affected by operations during any particular period.

Employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions. Datadog excludes employer payroll tax expense on equity incentive plans as these expenses are tied to the exercise or vesting of underlying equity awards and the price of Datadog’s common stock at the time of vesting or exercise. As a result, these taxes may vary in any particular period independent of the financial and operating performance of Datadog’s business.

Amortization of issuance costs. In June 2020, Datadog issued $747.5 million of convertible senior notes due 2025, which bear interest at an annual fixed rate of 0.125%. Debt issuance costs, which reduce the carrying value of the convertible debt instrument, are amortized as interest expense over the term. The expense for the amortization of debt issuance costs is a non-cash item, and we believe the exclusion of this interest expense will provide for a more useful comparison of our operational performance in different periods.

Additionally, Datadog’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure free cash flow is meaningful to investors because it is a measure of liquidity that provides useful information in understanding and evaluating the strength of our liquidity and future ability to generate cash that can be used for strategic opportunities or investing in our business. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities, reduced by capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs, if any. The reduction of capital expenditures and amounts capitalized for software development facilitates comparisons of Datadog’s liquidity on a period-to-period basis and excludes items that management does not consider to be indicative of our liquidity.

Operating Metrics

Datadog’s number of customers with ARR of $100,000 or more is based on the ARR of each customer, as of the last month of the quarter.

We define the number of customers as the number of accounts with a unique account identifier for which we have an active subscription in the period indicated. Users of our free trials or tier are not included in our customer count. A single organization with multiple divisions, segments or subsidiaries is generally counted as a single customer. However, in some cases where they have separate billing terms, we may count separate divisions, segments or subsidiaries as multiple customers.

We define ARR as the annualized revenue run-rate of subscription agreements from all customers at a point in time. We calculate ARR by taking the monthly recurring revenue, or MRR, and multiplying it by 12. MRR for each month is calculated by aggregating, for all customers during that month, monthly revenue from committed contractual amounts, additional usage, usage from subscriptions for a committed contractual amount of usage that is delivered as used, and monthly subscriptions. ARR and MRR should be viewed independently of revenue, and do not represent our revenue under GAAP on a monthly or annualized basis, as they are operating metrics that can be impacted by contract start and end dates and renewal rates. ARR and MRR are not intended to be replacements or forecasts of revenue.

Ridero Raises $2.7 Million to Tackle Vehicle Affordability Through AI-Powered Financial Infrastructure

Published

on

By

Backed by RiverPark Ventures, NY Ventures, Green Egg Ventures, Blackpoint Capital, and Potamkin Ventures, Ridero is expanding access to flexible vehicle financing.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ridero, an AI-powered automotive financial infrastructure company, today announced $2.7 million in total pre-seed funding, with backing from RiverPark Ventures, NY Ventures, Green Egg Ventures, Blackpoint Capital, and Potamkin Ventures.

The funding will accelerate Ridero’s mission to address the growing vehicle affordability crisis by enabling financial institutions and automotive retailers to offer more flexible financing options at scale.

As vehicle prices and financing costs continue to pressure American households, traditional automotive financing products have struggled to keep pace with changing consumer needs. Ridero is building the technology infrastructure to expand access to alternatives to conventional auto loans, including new- and used-vehicle leasing and balloon financing.

“Millions of vehicles have historically been difficult to lease because the financial infrastructure needed to support them at scale hasn’t existed,” said Brock Thompson, Co-Founder and CEO of Ridero. “We’re building that infrastructure to give lenders and dealers more ways to make vehicles affordable and accessible,” said Natalie Williams, Co-Founder and CTO of Ridero.

Ridero’s platform combines AI-powered deal structuring, risk analytics, and automated lender connectivity to help financial institutions launch, distribute, and manage residual-based financing products.

The company’s technology is already in use at dealerships across the Northeast and Southern United States. Ridero has also established a strategic partnership with Auto Financial Group (AFG) to expand access to residual-based financing products and integrated with Tekion to bring its financing capabilities into existing dealership workflows.

Ridero is advancing additional strategic partnerships and technology integrations with financial institutions and automotive technology providers.

The funding will support continued product development, expansion of institutional partnerships, and growth of Ridero’s team.

About Ridero

Ridero is an AI-powered financial infrastructure company modernizing automotive finance. Its platform connects financial institutions and automotive retailers, enabling the launch, distribution, and management of flexible vehicle financing products, including new- and used-vehicle leasing and balloon financing.

Ridero was founded by Brock Thompson and Natalie Williams, who bring complementary backgrounds in institutional investing and artificial intelligence. Thompson previously worked at The Carlyle Group and The Amherst Group, while Williams came from Capstone Investment Advisors and UBS. Both founders attended Columbia University together.

Bankers Expect Higher Funding Costs as Outlook for Loan Demand Softens

Published

on

By

ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bank executives expect a tougher operating environment over the next year, with continued pressure on funding and little improvement in loan demand, according to a survey by fintech IntraFi.

Eighty-seven percent of respondents expect funding costs to increase in the next 12 months, up 84 points from the third quarter of 2025.

“Bankers are facing pressure on both sides of the balance sheet,” said Mark Jacobsen, CEO and cofounder of IntraFi. “The challenge is how to pursue growth without sacrificing profitability or stretching balance sheets. That puts a premium on disciplined pricing, strong customer relationships, and flexibility in how banks fund their business.”

IntraFi’s third quarter Bank Executive Business Outlook Survey was conducted online from October 5 to October 19, 2026, and includes responses from 411 bank CEOs, presidents, CFOs, and COOs nationwide.

Bond market volatility is also shaping bankers’ outlook. Over the next 12 months, 58% said the most significant potential effect of current long-term interest rates and bond market volatility on their securities portfolios would be higher funding costs or pressure on net interest margins. Another 16% cited further unrealized losses that could limit capital flexibility.

Other key findings

Balance sheet strategy: 47% are maintaining their current strategies, while 22% are accepting lower securities balances to make room for loans or cash and liquidity.Economy: 83% expect economic conditions to worsen or remain unchanged over the next 12 months.Access to capital: 78% expect access to capital to remain unchanged.Mortgages: 74% are not pursuing products or programs to help homeowners locked into low mortgage rates move or upgrade their homes.
