"Growing like a weed
For the fiscal second quarter, which ended Dec. 31, Atlassian reported revenue of $299 million, up 39% from the prior-year quarter. This soared past the company's forecast and analysts' consensus estimates, which came in at $289 million and $288 million, respectively. This was also particularly impressive in light of the fact that it came on top of a 43% year-over-year jump in Q2 18. The most significant gains came from subscription revenue, which grew to $153 million, up 56% from the year-ago quarter, while maintenance revenue increased 21% to $97 million.
It wasn't just revenue that posted remarkable growth. Net income of $62 million increased by 93% year over year, resulting in adjusted earnings per share of $0.25, nearly double the $0.13 achieved in the year-ago quarter. This performance got a boost from a 25% adjusted operating margin, a 300-basis-point increase from this time last year.
Operational metrics were robust as well, as the company added 6,551 new customers, bringing the running total to 138,235.
