Toronto, CanadaLearning NewsDocebo

Docebo has reported record revenues for the last quarter adding over $10 Million in annual recurring revenue for the three months ending 30 June.

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Docebo Inc. (NASDAQ: DCBO; TSX:DCBO) (“Docebo” or the “Company”), a leading artificial intelligence (AI)-powered learning suite, today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. All amounts are expressed in US dollars unless otherwise stated.

“Growth in the second quarter continued to accelerate as we added $10 million in net ARR from the first quarter resulting in our second consecutive quarter of ARR growth in excess of 60% and revenue growth in excess of 70%,” said Claudio Erba CEO and Founder of Docebo. “We are seeing balanced growth across the board from new logo sales, OEM partners, and upsell and cross sell activity. Although still early, we are also pleased with the customer reception of the launch of the Docebo Learning Suite as we expand our coverage across the entire enterprise learning lifecycle.”

Added Mr. Erba, “While the traditional LMS market has been focused on HR skills training and compliance, our customers use Docebo as a productivity enablement tool to address learning challenges enterprises have across operating departments and with their external customers and partners. This dynamic is not pandemic driven, rather it’s ROI driven, and that is why we believe the tailwinds we are seeing are both consistent and sustainable.”
