We’re extremely proud to announce that once again Xero has placed top on the Forbes 100 Most Innovative Growth Companies list. This is our second straight year in the number one spot.
The Forbes list recognises firms that investors expect to be innovative both now and in the future. It’s wonderful for Xero’s current innovation and growth to be acknowledged but the really awesome story is what comes next, as we help millions of small businesses thrive while creating shareholder value.
FY2015 was a year of significant growth in a number of areas. We’ve become one of the fastest growing Software-as-a-Service companies on earth, increasing our subscription revenue 81 percent to $120.9m and operating revenue 77 percent to $123.9m. Seeing such high growth rates nine years in shows that as SaaS businesses get moving they can continue to grow much faster than traditional businesses, maintaining those high growth levels for many years if there are winning in large Total Addressable Market (TAM).
This year we are sharing the Forbes top 10 spotlight with other global brands such as fellow SaaS standout Netsuite (No. 2) and Asos online fashion (No. 4). Previous standouts include Dropbox and Concur, putting us in very good company.
What does this mean for Xero? It’s awesome to be recognised. More importantly, it’s yet another acknowledgement that we are building a truly innovative, competitive, global company with a strategy that will disrupt the incumbents and create enormous value.
I’d like to extend a special thanks to all of our customers, partners, Xeros, and investors who are on this journey with us. We continue to accelerate towards our vision, of enabling millions of small businesses to thrive through beautiful software, advice, and connections.
