Total operating expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2024, were $236.0 million, compared to $219.6 million in the prior year. For the six months, operating expenses increased to $456.8 million from $422.4 million. The company reported a loss from operations of $76.8 million for the three months, slightly higher than the $73.4 million loss in the same period last year. The six-month loss from operations was $143.0 million, compared to $138.6 million in 2023.

Net losses for the three months ended July 31, 2024, were $72.2 million, compared to $71.4 million in the same period of 2023. For the six months, the net loss was $135.9 million, up from $132.9 million year-over-year. The company’s accumulated deficit as of July 31, 2024, stood at $1.65 billion.

The company’s additional paid-in capital rose to $1.94 billion, while total stockholders' equity decreased to $291.9 million.

In terms of strategic developments, Asana authorized a stock repurchase program in June 2024, allowing for the repurchase of up to $150 million of Class A common stock, with $130.3 million remaining available for future repurchases as of July 31, 2024. The company also reported a significant increase in its customer base, with 22,948 Core customers contributing approximately 75% of revenues, up from 20,782 Core customers a year earlier.

Asana continues to face challenges, including global macroeconomic conditions that may impact IT spending and customer retention. The company does not expect to achieve profitability in the near future, focusing instead on long-term growth through strategic investments in sales, marketing, and research and development.
