Working with SAAS companies, I often see confusion around these two crucial metrics. Let's break them down: Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR): The predictable revenue your business generates each month from all active subscriptions Includes monthly plans + normalized annual plans (divided by 12) Fluctuates monthly based on upgrades, downgrades, and churn Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR): Simply put: MRR × 12 Provides a yearly perspective of your recurring revenue Often used by investors and for company valuations Best for businesses with primarily annual contracts 🔑 Key Differences: Time Frame: MRR is monthly snapshot; ARR is yearly outlook Usage: MRR for operational decisions; ARR for strategic planning Reporting: MRR for month-over-month growth; ARR for year-over-year trends 💡 Pro Tip: Don't include one-time fees or non-recurring charges in either metric. Keep it clean!

Best-in-class SaaS businesses are doubling their revenue each year. The top 10% of SaaS companies with Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) between $1-3 million experience an astounding 183% annual growth. Those in the $3-8 million ARR range grow at a remarkable 119% per year. Achieve similar success by leveraging strategic growth initiatives and market expansion. #SaaSGrowth #RevenueGrowth #SaaSDoubling #ARRGrowth

👋 Calling all Vertical SaaS operators! Have you checked out our VSaaS benchmarking effort with Stripe and Gusto Embedded yet? While the SaaS world is flooded with a litany of great benchmark reports, Vertical SaaS operators have been left without the industry-specific metrics that they use for everything from strategic planning to day-to-day operations. For years, Tidemark has been working to rectify this dearth of benchmarks by packaging and publishing the available public data. In 2024, we’re looking to take this a step further with a private market-specific Vertical SaaS Benchmarks Report. We encourage any Vertical SaaS operators to fill out this survey. By participating, you’ll get access to data across your specific peer set and gain an understanding of what it takes to become a standout Vertical SaaS business (survey responses are anonymous and confidential). https://lnkd.in/gXPesZCw

SaaS companies looking to engage with prospective buyers should take a second look at how they calculate gross margin—because buyers certainly will during due diligence. Something we commonly advise our clients to do is to ensure they've appropriately classified any cost to deliver software as a Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), which factors into the calculation of gross margin. Incorrectly classified costs often result in under-burdened gross margins that get corrected during the diligence phase. Our team put together an article covering common mistakes SaaS companies make when calculating and reporting their gross margin to interested buyers.
