Factors Likely to Influence Fourth-Quarter Results

Docebo’s fourth-quarter top line is expected to have benefited from steady demand for its cloud-based enterprise learning solution with AI superpowers. More than 50% of the company’s customer base is using three or more use cases.

In the third quarter, strong growth in average contract value (ACV), calculated as total annual recurring revenue divided by the number of active customers, drove the top line. Company-wide ACV was up 13% to approximately $45,000 from $39,000 at the end of the third quarter of 2021. This trend is expected to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.

Docebo has been expanding its platform by introducing new capabilities, which is likely to have been a major customer growth driver in the fourth quarter. As of Sep 30, 2022, 3,245 customers have used Docebo platform, an increase from 2,636 customers at the end of Sep 30, 2021.

Furthermore, contributions from a broad partner base, including Sonos (the world’s leading sound experience company), Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (a leading automotive aftermarket parts provider), Holland and Barrett (Europe’s largest health and wellness company) and Deliveroo (a pioneer in on-demand food delivery) among others, are anticipated to have been conducive to Docebo’s top-line growth in the quarter under review.
