Factors to Note

Asana’s fourth-quarter fiscal 2022 results are likely to reflect an expanded enterprise customer base as Asana’s Work Graph data model has been gaining traction.

The number of customers spending $5,000 or more on an annualized basis grew to 14,143, an increase of 96% year over year in the fiscal third quarter. The number of customers spending $50,000 or more on an annualized basis grew to 739, suggesting an increase of 132% year over year.

The company witnessed high retention rates in the fiscal third quarter, which translated into continued strong net new paying customer growth and strong seed expansion for its SaaS-based work management platform.

This momentum is expected to have sustained in the to-be-reported quarter.

The expansion of Asana’s Channel Partner network across 75 countries is might have acted as a key growth driver in the fiscal fourth quarter.
