The report sent ZoomInfo shares higher by 11% in late trading.
CEO and founder Henry Schuck said the company "ended the year strong, delivering another quarter of record results, highlighted by an industry-leading combination of growth and profitability."
Added Schuck, "Our success is driven by the success of our customers, as we continue to help companies of all sizes, across all industries modernize their go-to-market efforts with our expanding data, insights, and automation platform."

ZoomInfo said it had over 20,000 customers at year's end, of which 850 were bringing in more than $100,000 in annual contract value. The company said its annual revenue retention rate was 108%.
