A Year of Record Performance and Strategic Expansion
Salesforce’s journey through fiscal 2024 has been nothing short of phenomenal. With a total remaining performance obligation closing the fourth quarter at an impressive $56.9 billion, up 17% year-over-year, the company’s growth trajectory is clear. This surge is a testament to Salesforce’s robust strategy and its ability to deliver unmatched value to its customers.
The initiation of Salesforce’s first-ever dividend and a $10 billion increase in its share buyback plan further underscore the company’s financial health and commitment to shareholder value.
Fiscal 2024: A Snapshot of Success
The fiscal fourth quarter saw Salesforce achieving a total revenue of $9.29 billion, marking an 11% increase year-over-year.

Despite a slight decrease in professional services and other revenues, the overall fiscal 2024 revenue stood at a robust $34.86 billion, up 11% year-over-year.
Operating margins and earnings per share (EPS) also reflected strong performance, with the fourth quarter GAAP operating margin at 17.5% and non-GAAP operating margin at 31.4%. The fiscal year echoed this strength, with GAAP and non-GAAP operating margins at 14.4% and 30.5%, respectively.
