RingCentral Exceeds Q2 Estimates with $379m Revenue

RingCentral published their Q2 financial results - and they’ve beat market expectations, with CEO Vlad Shmunis citing contributions from their partners for the strong quarter.  

The cloud communications firm's non-GAAP net income per diluted share was 32 cents on revenue of $379 million, an increase of 36 percent year-over-year. This comes after analysts had expected earnings of 28 cents per share on revenue of $359.51 million. 

Shmunis said: "Second quarter results were outstanding, as contributions from our upmarket momentum and key partners including Avaya, Atos, AT&T, BT, and Telus continued to increase. 

"As businesses embrace hybrid workforces, they require next generation mobile-first platforms that support team messaging, video meetings, and phone system capabilities. RingCentral, with its unparalleled track record of trust, innovation, and partnerships, and its differentiated MVP platform, now seamlessly integrated with an industry leading cloud contact centre solution, is uniquely positioned to meet these communication and collaboration needs." 

Subscriptions revenue increased 37% year-over-year to $351 million and accounted for 93 percent of total revenue.  

Total Annualized Exit Monthly Recurring Subscriptions (ARR) increased 37% year-over-year to $1.5 billion. RingCentral Office ARR (UCaaS + CCaaS) increased 41 percent year-over-year to $1.4 billion. 

In the second quarter, RingCentral announced new and extended partnerships with a number of companies, including Avaya, Verizon Business, Deutsche Telekom and Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, among others.  

RingCentral is raising its full year 2021 guidance, predicting revenue in the range of $1.539 billion to $1.545 billion. For the third quarter, the company expects revenue in the range of $390.5 million to $393.5 million.
