On an adjusted basis, Smartsheet amassed a loss of roughly 7 cents per share, which is half the loss amount that analysts were calling for. The Wall Street guidance predicted that the company’s adjusted loss would be 14 cents per share, according to FactSet data.
The business saw its revenue surge nearly $20 million to $52.2 million from the $33 million in the year-ago period. Wall Street projected Smartsheet to bring in sales of $49.7 million, according to data compiled by FactSet.
The company added that it calls for a loss of 19 cents to 18 cents for its first quarter of 2019, wider than the Wall Street loss of 14 cents per share. It sees revenue for the same three months as being $54 million to $55 million, ahead of the $52.6 million that analysts predict.
