Dynatrace celebrates five years as public company, growth in revenue

Dynatrace has commemorated the fifth anniversary of its initial public offering (IPO) on the New York Stock Exchange, celebrating sustained growth and a leading position in end-to-end observability and security.

Since the IPO, Dynatrace has remained focused on innovation and customer success, enabling some of the world’s largest organisations to ensure flawless and secure digital interactions.

Among its key achievements over the last five years, Dynatrace has joined an elite group of software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies by surpassing USD $1 billion in annual revenue - a milestone achieved by only 8% of public software companies in North America and Europe.

The company has also empowered over 4,000 organisations with comprehensive observability capabilities, indicating significant customer success in the industry.

Financially, Dynatrace has demonstrated durable growth and cash flow generation, achieving a 28% compound annual revenue growth rate.

This resulted in cumulative revenue of nearly USD $5 billion and more than USD $1 billion in cumulative operating cash flow over the past five fiscal years ending 31 March 2024. Additionally, Dynatrace's stock performance shows a return of nearly 180% since its IPO, outperforming its 2019 IPO cohort by more than three times.

Rick McConnell, Dynatrace CEO, expressed pride in the company's journey, describing the transformation from a carve-out to a leading public software company.

"We are immensely proud of our journey over the past five years, and we celebrate all customers, partners, and Dynatracers who have contributed to our success," McConnell stated.

He emphasised the importance of continuous innovation and customer focus, saying, "Now more than ever, software is expected to work perfectly, and this motivates us to continue delivering the unparalleled value to our customers that has helped us reach this milestone."

Bernd Greifeneder, Dynatrace CTO and Founder, highlighted the company's evolution and commitment to addressing customer challenges in digital transformation.

"Since our IPO in 2019, we've transformed into an industry leader in end-to-end observability and security, driven by our dedication to helping our customers anticipate and navigate change," Greifeneder commented. He acknowledged the difficulties clients face, such as ensuring secure software delivery and extracting insights from large data volumes.

"We are committed to delivering a platform differentiated by causal, generative, and predictive AI-powered observability, analytics, and automation to help our customers thrive in this new wave of change," he added.

Dynatrace's platform stands out by integrating broad and deep observability and continuous runtime application security with Davis hypermodal AI. This combination aims to modernise and automate cloud operations, expedite secure software delivery, and ensure seamless digital experiences for users.
