Enterprise collaboration solutions provider Atlassian (Nasdaq: TEAM) announced its results yesterday that outpaced market expectations. However, a weaker outlook did not please the market.
 

Atlassian’s Financials

Revenues for the fourth quarter grew 23% to $1.39 billion, ahead of the market’s forecast of $1.35 billion. Adjusted EPS of $0.98 was also ahead of the market’s forecast of $0.83.

By segment, Subscription revenues grew 23% to $1.31 billion compared. Other revenues grew 14% to $71.8 million compared with $66.7 million estimated for the quarter.

Atlassian ended the year with revenues of $5.215 billion compared with $4.358 billion a year ago.

For the first quarter, Atlassian expects total revenue of $1.395-$1.403 billion compared with the market’s estimates of $1.41 billion.
 

Atlassian’s Enterprise Focus

Atlassian is focusing its efforts on its goal to reach $10 billion annual revenue run rate by focusing on large enterprises. It wants to transform from a company known for its developer collaboration tools to one known for its enterprise offerings. Instead of building a new tool for managing tasks, Atlassian is creating a framework that links organization goals to execution capabilities. 

It is already bundling Rovo AI, its AI offering, as an intelligent layer across all products. Rovo AI leverages the underlying Teamwork Graph to understand relationships between people, projects, and priorities. Its Strategy Collection offering delivers tools for goal management, workforce planning, and execution tracking, so organizations have visibility into how resources align with strategic priorities.

The Customer Service Management tool helps connect customer-facing support and technical delivery teams to create seamless handoffs. Finally, the Teamwork Collection integrates Jira, Confluence, Loom, and AI-powered agents into a collaboration suite that has been designed for cross-functional teams. 

Unlike legacy enterprise systems that have been built to cater to rigid hierarchies, Atlassian’s platform has been built for more modern matrixed organizations which support project-based work to connect business strategies to tactical execution. Atlassian believes that its strong IT customer base will help it make fast inroads to other stakeholders within the organization, including leaders like human resources officers, chief strategy officers, and CFOs directly.

The company also entered into a new multi-year partnership with Alphabet’s Google Cloud. As part of the agreement, Atlassian’s Jira, Confluence, and other platforms and apps will be integrated into Google Cloud’s AI-optimized infrastructure.

Its stock is trading at $171 with a market capitalization of $44.9 billion. It touched a 3-year high of $326 in February and had fallen to a 52-week low of $135.29 in August last year.
