On Friday, shares of customer relationship management (CRM) platform HubSpot (NYSE:HUBS) traded sharply higher, surging as much as 11.5%, driven by relatively healthy fourth-quarter 2021 results.
â
Quarterly revenues for the company increased 46.5% year-over-year to $369.3 million, surpassing consensus estimates of $357.47 million.
â
Some investors have feared that the influx of customers that HubSpot has seen might slow as the rush of traffic created by the COVID-19 pandemic started to ebb. However, the company's most recent metrics didn't confirm those fears as Non-GAAP net income rose to $92.5 million while HubSpot's customer metrics climbed to 135,442, up 30% year over year.
â
Subscription revenues were up 46.8% year-over-year and accounted for over 97% of the total quarterly revenue, with quarterly operating margin improving from 9.8% in the previous year to 10.3%.
â
GUIDANCE
â
Investors were also pleased with HubSpot's guidance which called for first-quarter 2022 revenues in the range of $381 million to $383 million and revenues between $1.72 billion and $1.73 billion for the full year.
â
Adjusted earnings of $2.34 to $2.42 per share would confirm that HubSpot still has the power to keep expanding over the coming year and beyond.
â
"I am incredibly proud of how the HubSpot team was able to adapt and execute in 2021 to deliver a truly exceptional year... 2022 will be a year of sustained focus and consistency as we continue to invest in those priorities." - CEO Yamini Rangan, HubSpot
