Cloudera Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2021 Financial Results

PALO ALTO, Calif., June 4, 2020 — Cloudera, Inc. reported results for its first quarter of fiscal 2021, ended April 30, 2020. Total revenue for the first quarter was $210.5 million, an increase of 12% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Subscription revenue was $187.1 million, an increase of 21% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Annualized Recurring Revenue grew 11% year-over-year.

“We executed extremely well in Q1, particularly as the pandemic was in full effect for more than half of our fiscal quarter,” said Rob Bearden, chief executive officer, Cloudera. “We believe that remote working environments have placed heightened importance on data, data analysis and data security, which has increased the value of data architecture design and the criticality of hybrid cloud solutions. In addition, CDP Public Cloud is accomplishing exactly what we had hoped in that it has enabled a hybrid multi-cloud architecture for our customers and enhanced our value proposition with customers who plan to take advantage of public cloud infrastructure for certain types of workloads.”
