REPORT NAMETYPEDESCRIPTIONCALCULATION
Today's ARR

KPI

Today's ARR refers to the total Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) generated by a subscription-based business as of the current date. It represents the sum of all subscription charges collected from customers over a 12-month period, taking into account any changes in subscription plans, upgrades, downgrades, cancellations, and new sign-ups up to that day.

 

ARR provides a snapshot of the company's revenue run rate and is a key indicator of its financial health and growth trajectory. Tracking daily ARR allows businesses to monitor revenue trends in real-time and make informed decisions to drive growth and profitability.

The aggregate of today's Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) across all customers.

 

A customer is defined as an account that possesses at least one subscription, with the current date falling within the period defined by its Start Date and End Date.  

 

 

# of Customers

KPI

The "Number of Customers" metric refers to the count of unique accounts that currently hold active subscriptions. It includes both new and existing customers who are currently paying for the services or products offered by the company as of today.

The unique count of all customers.

 

A customer is defined as an account that possesses at least one subscription, with the current date falling within the period defined by its Start Date and End Date.  

ARPA (Average Revenue Per Account) 

KPI

ARPA represents the average total amount of revenue generated by each individual customer today. ARPA is derived by dividing the total revenue generated from all customers by the total number of customers.

 

This metric provides valuable insights into the average spending behavior of customers and is useful for understanding revenue trends, identifying high-value customers, and evaluating the effectiveness of pricing strategies and upselling efforts.

(Total TCV from All Customers) / (# of Customers)
Total Booked ARR (Quarter)

KPI

"Total Booked ARR" refers to the aggregate sum of Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) that has been formally booked within a specific timeframe.

 

This metric is calculated based on opportunities where the Close Date falls within the designated quarter, and the Order Activation Date occurs within the same calendar year. Essentially, it encapsulates all the recurring revenue commitments secured through closed deals during the specified period, providing insight into the revenue growth and performance of the business over that time frame.

 

Additionally, the chart offers a quarter-over-quarter trend analysis, which allows for the comparison of Total Booked ARR across consecutive quarters

Total booked ARR with Opportunity Close Date in the quarter, and Order Activation Date in the year.
# of New Logos (Quarter)

KPI

The number of new customers acquired this quarter.  

 

The chart offers a quarter-over-quarter trend analysis.  

New customers with at least one subscriptions having Subscription Start Date occuring within the current quarter.

 

Note: If a deal is closed for an account, but the subscription start date falls outside of the current quarter, that account will not be counted in this figure.

ARR Growth (Quarter)

KPI

"ARR Growth" is a key metric used in subscription-based businesses to measure the rate of change in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) from one period to another.

 

ARR Growth provides valuable insights into the business's performance and trajectory by indicating whether the total revenue generated from subscriptions has increased or decreased over time.

 

By comparing the ARR of the current month to that of the previous month, companies can assess their growth momentum and make informed decisions to drive sustainable business growth. This metric is crucial for monitoring the health of subscription revenue streams and evaluating the effectiveness of strategies aimed at acquiring, retaining, and upselling customers.

Net Revenue Retention (Month)

KPI

The "Net Revenue Retention (Month)" chart provides insight into the Net Revenue Retention (NRR) data specific to the current month.

 

NRR is a vital metric for subscription-based businesses, indicating the revenue retained from existing customers over a given period, considering upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations. By focusing on the NRR of the current month, businesses can gauge their ability to maintain and grow revenue from their existing customer base.

 

This chart offers a snapshot of how effectively the company is retaining revenue from its subscribers within the current month, helping stakeholders understand the dynamics of customer retention and the overall health of the business.

 

The chart offers a month-over-month trend analysis.   

(Opening ARR + SUM(ARR from Up-sell, Cross-sell, Down-sell and Churn)) / Opening ARR
ARR Growth % (Month)

KPI

The ARR Growth % represents the percentage change in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) during the current month, calculated by dividing the difference between the closing ARR and the opening ARR of the month by the opening ARR.

 

This metric provides insight into the month-over-month revenue performance, indicating whether ARR has increased or decreased relative to the beginning of the month. Positive values signify revenue growth, while negative values indicate a decline in ARR.

 

The chart offers a month-over-month trend analysis.   

The ARR Growth % is the Change in ARR in the current month divided by the opening ARR of the current month.

Pie

The pie chart "Customer Lifecycle Value by Customer" visualizes the distribution of Total Contract Value (TCV) across all active customers as of today.

 

Each segment of the pie represents the proportion of TCV attributed to individual customers, showcasing their relative contribution to the overall revenue generated by the business.

 

This visualization offers a snapshot of the distribution of customer value, highlighting the significance of key customers in driving revenue growth. By examining the pie chart, stakeholders can quickly identify the most valuable customers and prioritize efforts to nurture and retain these relationships for sustained business success.

Customer Lifecycle Value is calculated as the aggregation of Total Contractual Value (TCV) of all active orders of a customer.

The "Churns and Contractions" chart is a bar chart that provides a comprehensive overview of key revenue changes within the last and current years, specifically focusing on downsell activities resulting from quality or term reductions, cancellations, and churns.

 

The chart is segmented into distinct categories representing various types of changes, including Churn, Downsell, and Cancellations. Each bar within these categories reflects the associated Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) values, offering a visual representation of the financial impact of these different changes on the business.

 

Churn represents customers who have chosen not to renew their subscriptions, resulting in a loss of revenue. Downsell reflects instances where customers have opted for reduced subscription levels, often due to quality adjustments or changes in the subscription term. Cancellations denote cases where customers have terminated their subscriptions altogether.

 

This bar chart shows the trending of Churns and Contractions in the last and current year.  Note: ARR values displayed beyond today's dates may suggest potential churn instances, possibly due to subscription renewals not being processed.
