Nine Entertainment Co., one of Australia’s largest media conglomerates, announced that it has chosen Domo’s AI‑enabled data platform to consolidate its analytics tools and modernize its data stack. The announcement was made on March 12, 2026, and positions Domo as the single governed platform for Nine’s diverse portfolio of television, streaming, publishing and digital assets, creating a shared data foundation that supports faster decision‑making and consistent metrics across the company’s operations.
Domo’s recent quarterly results provide context for the significance of the win. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the company reported revenue of $79.6 million, up 1 % year‑over‑year, and record billings of $111.2 million, an 8 % increase. Operating margin improved to a non‑GAAP 10 % from 6 % in the prior year, while gross retention rose to over 88 % and net retention above 96 %. The earnings beat—EPS of $0.03 versus an expected loss of $0.03—was driven by disciplined cost control and a favorable mix of high‑margin subscription and professional services contracts.
Domo is also exploring strategic alternatives, a development that adds upside potential for investors while introducing some uncertainty. The company’s board has initiated a formal review of options that could include a sale or merger, reflecting the broader market dynamics and the company’s desire to maximize shareholder value.
Nine Entertainment’s media portfolio spans broadcast television, streaming services such as 9Now and Stan, and publishing brands including The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and the Australian Financial Review. The consolidation of analytics tools into a single platform is expected to streamline data workflows across these segments, reduce operational friction, and enable consistent reporting, which is critical for a company that has grown through multiple mergers and now faces a fragmented data environment.
Management commentary underscores the strategic fit. Josh James, Domo’s founder and CEO, said the partnership “demonstrates strong demand from customers and the growing role Domo plays in their AI strategies.” Barry Quinn, Nine’s head of analytics insights, noted that “consolidating onto a single analytics platform became essential” to eliminate friction and improve reporting consistency. Peter Steggall, Domo’s vice‑president of APAC, added that Nine “wanted fewer tools, faster delivery, and something their teams could actually use.”
The earnings beat was a key driver of market reaction, with investors responding positively to Domo’s record billings, improved margins and high retention rates. The new client win adds to the company’s momentum and reinforces its positioning as a leading AI‑enabled analytics platform for large enterprises.
