The report sent Zoom shares down 3% in late trading.
CEO and founder Eric Yuan called it “a very strong first quarter,” noting 191% year-over-year revenue growth and “strong profitability and cash flow.”
Added Yuan, “We have also opened our technology portfolio to developers through our powerful video SDK and to businesses to expand their reach through Zoom Events.
“Work is no longer a place, it’s a space where Zoom serves to empower your teams to connect and bring their best ideas to life. We are energized to help lead the evolution to hybrid work that allows greater flexibility, productivity, and happiness to both in-person and virtual connections.”
Revenue in the three months ended in April rose 191%, year over year, to $956 million, yielding a net profit of $1.32 a share, excluding some costs.
