Insights

Market Research Analyst

The recent financial results announced by e2open indicate a slight contraction in revenue, with GAAP subscription revenue for the third quarter of 2024 down by 1.5% year-over-year and total GAAP revenue also decreasing by 4.5%. This decline is noteworthy as subscription models are typically seen as stable revenue generators. The decrease on a constant currency basis suggests that currency fluctuations are not the sole cause of the decline, pointing towards potential underlying issues in sales or market demand. The fact that the subscription revenue still hit the high end of the company's guidance could imply that the management has an accurate understanding of the current business climate and is setting realistic expectations.

Furthermore, the adjusted EBITDA margin increase from 34.1% to 35.1% year-over-year, despite a decrease in adjusted EBITDA, indicates improved operational efficiency or cost management. However, investors should consider whether these margin improvements can be sustained in the long term, especially if revenue continues to decline. The net loss of $740.0 million is a significant deviation from the net income reported in the previous year and warrants a closer examination of the one-time charges or strategic decisions that led to this outcome.

Financial Analyst

From a financial perspective, the increase in GAAP operating cash flow year-to-date is a positive sign, suggesting that e2open is effectively managing its cash despite the downturn in revenue. The cash flow figures, particularly the adjusted operating cash flow, which represents 47.8% of year-to-date adjusted EBITDA, indicate a strong conversion of earnings into cash, which is critical for sustaining operations and investing in growth initiatives. However, the substantial GAAP net loss reported may raise concerns among investors about the company's profitability and future financial health.

Looking at the updated full-year guidance, the narrowed revenue range and the modest organic growth rate projection may reflect management's cautious optimism about the company's ability to stabilize and grow in the current fiscal year. Investors should monitor whether the company's efforts to improve sales execution and client engagement translate into a tangible improvement in financial performance in the subsequent quarters.

Supply Chain Industry Analyst

e2open's position as a connected supply chain SaaS platform places it in a critical industry, especially given the recent disruptions in global supply chains. The company's focus on improving sales execution and client engagement is essential in a sector where customer retention and expansion are key drivers of growth. The large deal closings and new logo business reported are indicators of competitive strength and the potential for market share expansion.

The role of e2open's solutions in optimizing operations for clients like Scan Global Logistics and the new projects implemented with NORTERA and Vertiv underscore the strategic importance of supply chain visibility and efficiency. These implementations reflect a growing industry trend towards digital transformation in supply chain management, which is likely to continue as companies seek to mitigate risks and improve resilience. The company's ability to secure new business and expand relationships with major clients suggests a strong product-market fit, which could be a positive signal for its long-term growth prospects.

GAAP subscription revenue of $132.8 million at the high end of Q3 guidance

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- E2open Parent Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ETWO) (“e2open” or the “Company”), the connected supply chain SaaS platform with the largest multi-enterprise network, today announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended November 30, 2023.

“In my first three months leading e2open, I have seen first-hand the unique capabilities of our product offering and the significant value that our solutions are delivering for some of the world’s largest and best-known companies,” said Andrew Appel, e2open’s interim chief executive officer. “Although our revenue growth has been below our potential, we are intently focused on returning to sustainable growth by implementing specific action plans to improve sales execution, deepen client engagement, and deliver flawless implementations. While this change process will take several quarters to materially impact our top line, our teams are excited by the client-centric approach, the early signs of progress we saw during the fiscal third quarter, and the tremendous opportunity we have in front of us to create value for our clients and shareholders.”

“In the third fiscal quarter, e2open delivered subscription revenue near the high end of our guidance and maintained strong adjusted EBITDA margins,” said Marje Armstrong, chief financial officer of e2open. “We exited the quarter with better sales execution in both subscription and professional services as evidenced by large deal closings with major new and existing clients across a range of industry sectors. Although we still have work to do to transform our go-to-market and client engagement model, and conditions in some end-markets remain uncertain, our improved third quarter execution gives us confidence in the steps we are taking to re-accelerate e2open’s growth.”

As of January 9, 2024, e2open is updating full year 2024 guidance previously provided on October 10, 2023, and providing fourth quarter 2024 guidance as follows:

Fiscal 2024 Subscription GAAP Revenue

• GAAP subscription revenue for fiscal 2024 is expected to be in the range of $533 million to $536 million (versus prior guidance of $530 million to $538 million), reflecting a 0.3% organic growth rate at the mid-point.

Fiscal 2024 Total GAAP Revenue

• Total GAAP revenue for fiscal 2024 is expected to be in the range of $628 million to $633 million (versus prior guidance of $625 million to $635 million), reflecting a 3.3% year-over-year decrease at the mid-point.

(1) Constant Currency refers to pro-forma amounts excluding the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. To calculate foreign currency translation on a constant currency basis, operating results for the current year period for entities reporting in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect during the comparable period of the prior year (rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the current year period)

(2) Constant Currency refers to pro forma amounts excluding translation and transactional impacts from foreign currency exchange rates.

(3) Reflects non-cash, long-term share-based compensation expense.

(4) Primarily includes other non-recurring expenses such as systems integrations and consulting, advisory fees and certain severance costs.
