Zoom Video Communications Inc. witnessed a steady rise in its shares during after-hours trading today, reflecting the company's robust performance in its fiscal third quarter, surpassing market expectations. The online communications giant reported an adjusted net income of $401.2 million, marking a significant increase from the previous year's $332.2 million. Revenue saw a 3% surge from the previous year, amounting to $1.137 billion, outperforming analysts' projections of $1.12 billion in revenue and $1.09 per share in earnings.
The quarter revealed notable financial milestones, with a 67% increase in net cash flow from operating activities, totalling $493.2 million. Zoom boasted a substantial reserve of $6.5 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities by the quarter's end.
The surge in figures was primarily fuelled by an uptick in customer base, recording approximately 219,700 enterprise customers, a 5% increase from the previous year. Impressively, the trailing-12-month net dollar expansion rate for enterprise customers stood at an impressive 105%. The company also observed a 13.5% rise in customers contributing more than $100,000 in trailing 12 months revenue.
Zoom's success wasn't solely in attracting new customers; it demonstrated strong customer retention. The average online customer monthly churn rate decreased to 3%, a noticeable improvement from the previous year. Moreover, the total monthly recurring revenue from online customers spiked to 73.2%, a remarkable 25 percentage points surge from the previous year.
The company's strategic initiatives, particularly the launch of its artificial intelligence companion and the Zoom Revenue Accelerator in September, played a pivotal role in its remarkable performance. The AI companion provides comprehensive assistance to users, while the Revenue Accelerator, equipped with AI features such as meeting summaries and sentiment analysis, added substantial value to Zoom's offerings.

Looking ahead, the company anticipates adjusted earnings per share in the range of $1.13 to $1.15 for the fiscal fourth quarter, surpassing analysts' expectations. Additionally, Zoom foresees adjusted earnings for its full fiscal year 2024 to range between $4.93 and $4.95 per share, on revenue reaching $4.506 billion to $4.511 billion.
Zoom's successful integration of AI features underscores its commitment to technological innovation. The AI companion and Revenue Accelerator have not only enhanced user experience but also contributed significantly to the company's growth trajectory. The improved customer retention rates and increased revenue from online customers underscore the profound impact of these AI-driven enhancements on Zoom's business growth.
