Dropbox (NASDAQ: DBX) reported an 18% jump in revenues to $401.5 million in the second quarter, as the number of paying users increased 14%. The top-line was in line with analysts’ estimate.
Meanwhile, average revenue per user improved just 3.2% to $120.48, disappointing investors who sent the stock down over 7% in the aftermarket hours.
Shares of Dropbox, which went public last year, have been mostly trading sidewise this year.
Adjusted net income for Q2 came in at 10 cents per share, lower than 11 cents per share in the year-ago period, but better than the street consensus of 8 cents per share.
CEO Drew Houston said,
“We continue to balance growth and profitability while delivering product
updates our users find valuable. We’re making great progress on our mission of
designing a more enlightened way of working and are excited about the remainder
of 2019 and beyond.”
