Zoom Video Communications (ZM) serves customers of all sizes, from sole businesses to Fortune 50 organizations. Zoom provides video chat services for companies, and its paid plans start at $15 per month.
In regulatory filings just before its IPO this month, Zoom named some of its largest customers across a variety of industries. The list included Wells Fargo (WFC), a banking giant that boasts close to 270,000 team members around the world. Zoom’s other major customers include VMware (VMW), which has over 20,000 employees, Uber with ~16,000 employees, and Workday (WDAY) with over 8,000 employees. Some others are ServiceNow (NOW), which has over 6,000 employees, and Splunk (SPLK) with ~5,000 employees.
Zoom’s plans have limits on the number of people that can participate in a video conference, so the larger the number of participants, the more a customer will pay for a plan.
Loss of a single major customer won’t put Zoom out of business
Zoom generated revenue of $330.5 million in fiscal 2019, doubling its revenue from the previous year. The company generated revenues of $151.5 million in fiscal 2018 and $60.8 million in fiscal 2017.
It revealed in its IPO documents filed with regulators that no single customer had represented more than 5.0% of its revenue in fiscal 2019, meaning that the loss of a single major customer won’t lead to a material loss in its revenue. This situation contrasts sharply with that of semiconductor company Broadcom (AVGO), which disclosed in its latest annual regulatory filing that Apple alone had contributed 25% of its total revenue in fiscal 2018.
