Shares of DevOps platform provider JFrog Ltd. (FROG) rose about 7% during the extended trading session on Monday, after the company delivered a better-than-expected first-quarter performance on its top-line front.
Revenue jumped 41.2% year-over-year to $63.7 million, outperforming estimates by $2.55 million. This growth came on the back of a 63% jump in cloud revenues driven by the adoption of the JFrog platform and its security capabilities. Additionally, the number of customers with annual recurring revenue (ARR) of over $100,000 jumped 52% over the prior-year period to 599.
Management Weighs In
The Co-Founder and CEO of JFrog, Shlomi Ben Haim, commented, “We are excited to see the growing number of customers transitioning to the cloud, securing their software supply chain, and powering their DevOps pipelines with the JFrog Platform.”
He added, “Our consistent investment in an end-to-end DevOps platform, that includes advanced security and distribution capabilities, answers the market demand. Our focus on multi-cloud, hybrid, and self-hosted offerings continues to bear fruit.”
Additionally, the company has recently released the Dart programming language and pub repository support in the JFrog Artifactory to support the fast-growing developer community driven by Google. It has also partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for games to propel cloud DevOps processes targeted at the gaming industry.
Looking ahead, for fiscal 2022, the company expects to garner revenue in the range of $276.5 million and $278.5 million.
