Revenues reached $136.83 million, up 20% from the same period last year, and net income increased $30.6 million to $441.54 million, up from $144.15 million the previous year.
Subscription services, which accounted for about 95% of sales, were the main growth driver. In particular, the Marketing Solutions division saw a 22% increase in average revenue due to the acquisition of new clients and expansion of existing clients, with subscription revenue increasing by approximately $230,000 to $129.63 million year over year. The Hiring Solutions division also showed solid growth and contributed significantly to total revenue.
Cost of sales increased 7% y/y, but gross profit increased 22% to $123.15 million due to higher sales. Gross margin remained at 90%. The main cost increases were due to higher stock-based compensation and third-party software costs.
R&D expenses increased 16% YoY to $23.24 million, primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation for new employees. Sales and marketing expenses also increased 14% to $34.36 million, also due to an increase in stock-based compensation. General and administrative expenses increased 13% to $10.1 million, driven by higher legal expenses.
An impairment charge of $2.3 million was recorded for the sublease of office space. In addition, a one-time charge of $2.9 million was incurred for expenses related to the restructuring plan implemented in August 2023.
Cash flow from operating activities increased to $195.89 million. In addition to the increase in net income, non-cash items such as stock-based compensation and impairment charges contributed to the increase. Cash flow from investing activities decreased to $54.099 million, mainly due to purchases of marketable securities. Financing activities used cash of $76.225 million, a significant decrease from the use of $186.94 million in the same period last year. This was mainly due to stock repurchases.
Doximity approved a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $500 million of Class A common stock on May 1, 2024; as of September 30, 2024, 1,021,233 shares had been repurchased for $30 million, with the remaining $470 million still available.
