Forward guidance

Zoom is providing the following guidance for its fourth quarter fiscal year 2021 and its full fiscal year 2021. Zoom's revenue outlook takes into consideration the demand for remote work solutions for businesses. It also assumes increased churn in the fourth quarter when compared to historic churn levels due to a higher percentage of customers who purchased monthly subscriptions.

Tailwinds

  • Total revenue is expected to be between $806.0 million and $811.0 million for Q4 2021.
  • Non-GAAP income from operations is expected to be between $243.0 million and $248.0 million for Q4 2021.
  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be between $0.77 and $0.79 for Q4 2021.
  • Total revenue is expected to be between $2.575 billion and $2.580 billion for fiscal year 2021.
  • Non-GAAP income from operations is expected to be between $865.0 million and $870.0 million for fiscal year 2021.

Headwinds

  • Increased churn in the fourth quarter when compared to historic churn levels due to a higher percentage of customers who purchased monthly subscriptions.
  • A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of expenses that may be incurred in the future.
  • These factors could be material to Zoom's results computed in accordance with GAAP.
  • Uncertainty regarding the extent and duration of the impact of COVID-19 and the responses of government and private industry.
  • Any or all of which will have an impact on demand for remote work solutions for businesses as well as overall distributed, face-to-face interactions and collaboration using Zoom
