SaaS Company Renewal/Retention Rates LegendPublic SaaS Company Disclosure Metrics for Retention and Renewal RatesMuch has been written about how to manage SaaS business performance and what metrics to measure. Among the biggest challenges is theavailability of good benchmarking data. Our annual Private SaaS Company Survey attempts to address part of this challenge, providingbenchmarking information for private companies participating in our surveys.Another useful set of data to observe is disclosures of public SaaS companies. Through the work we’ve done with our SaaS IPO clients, we’vecompiled a comprehensive database of publicly reported SaaS metrics.Just as no two SaaS businesses are exactly the same, retention metrics reflect a wide variety of approaches–some focusing on customer count,while others reflecting changes in dollar value of recurring revenue (ARR or GAAP) from existing customers. Some report gross churn, reflectingonly the lost business, while others report net retention/expansion, offsetting losses with the benefit of upsells and expansions.We’ve compiled this material for many of the public SaaS companies in the following slides, including definitions from the companies, ourinterpretation of the definitions, and the value stated by each company at the time of IPO. At first glance, it’s pretty clear that “apples-to-apples”comparisons aren’t going to be easy. Nonetheless, the data assembled here is the only publicly available information for some of the mostsuccessful SaaS businesses in the world. With a little work and ingenuity, you’ll find that comparisons are possible, and the data is actuallyextremely useful.Which customers / usersWhoorItem measuredIn which periodWhatWhen1

To calculate our dollar-based net revenue retention rate, we firstidentify a cohort of customers, or the Base Customers, in a particular quarter, or the BaseQuarter. A customer will not be considered a Base Customer unless such customer has anactive subscription for the entirety of the Base Quarter. We then divide the revenue in thesame quarter of the subsequent year attributable to the Base Customers, or theComparison Quarter, including Base Customers from which we no longer derive revenuein the Comparison Quarter, by the revenue attributable to that Base Customers in theBase Quarter. Our dollar-based net revenue retention rate in a particular quarter is thenobtained by averaging the result from that particular quarter by the corresponding resultfrom each of the prior three quarters.
