Positive
  • None.
Negative
  • Revenues decreased 4% to $222.8M.
  • Net income dropped 34% to $17.4M.
  • GAAP EPS decreased by 33% to $0.49.
  • Adjusted EPS fell 8% to $0.92.
  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 10% to $43.3M.

Insights

Perficient's Q2 2024 results show a concerning trend with declines across key financial metrics. Revenues decreased by 4% to $222.8 million, while net income saw a significant drop of 34% to $17.4 million. The GAAP EPS fell 33% to $0.49 and adjusted EPS decreased by 8% to $0.92.

These figures indicate challenges in maintaining growth and profitability. The substantial decline in net income compared to revenue suggests margin pressure, possibly due to increased costs or pricing challenges. The company's ability to generate profits from its revenue has weakened, which is a red flag for investors.

However, it's worth noting that Perficient is in the process of being acquired by EQT, which could explain some of the performance issues as the company navigates this transition. Investors should closely monitor how this acquisition might impact future financial performance and strategic direction.

Despite the financial downturn, Perficient's strategic positioning remains strong. The company's recognition as a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Cloud Professional Services underscores its competitive standing in the cloud services market. This accolade, combined with specializations in Adobe Customer Journey Analytics and Salesforce Data Cloud, demonstrates Perficient's commitment to staying at the forefront of digital transformation technologies.

The launch of Scarlett, an AI-powered virtual assistant, showcases Perficient's innovation in AI and its application to improve internal efficiency. This move aligns with the growing trend of AI adoption in enterprise operations and could potentially lead to cost savings and productivity gains in the long term.

While the financial results are concerning, Perficient's continued investment in cutting-edge technologies and industry recognitions suggest that the company is well-positioned to capitalize on the ongoing digital transformation trend once market conditions improve.

The pending acquisition by EQT is a pivotal moment for Perficient. This transaction could provide the company with additional resources and strategic support to navigate current market challenges and fuel future growth. EQT's expertise in scaling technology companies could be instrumental in helping Perficient expand its global footprint and enhance its service offerings.

However, the acquisition also introduces uncertainties. It's important to consider potential changes in corporate strategy, management and company culture that may follow. The lack of financial guidance and earnings call due to the pending transaction limits visibility into future performance and strategy, which may concern some investors.

The launch of the PRISM Employee Resource Group demonstrates Perficient's commitment to diversity and inclusion, which can enhance employee satisfaction and attract top talent. This initiative, along with the company's technological advancements, suggests a forward-thinking approach to both internal operations and market positioning, which could be beneficial in the long term.

About Non-GAAP Financial Information

This news release includes non-GAAP financial measures. For a description of these non-GAAP financial measures, including the reasons management uses each measure, and reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), please see the section entitled “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the accompanying tables entitled “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures.”

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Perficient provides non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted EBITDA (earnings before income taxes, interest, depreciation, amortization, acquisition costs, adjustment to fair value of contingent consideration, stock compensation and the impact of other infrequent or unusual transactions), adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per share data as supplemental information regarding Perficient’s business performance. Perficient believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide investors with a better understanding of Perficient’s past financial performance and future results. Perficient’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when it internally evaluates the performance of Perficient’s business and makes operating decisions, including internal operating budgeting, performance measurement, and the calculation of bonuses and discretionary compensation. Management excludes stock-based compensation related to restricted stock awards, the amortization of intangible assets, amortization of debt issuance costs related to convertible senior notes, acquisition costs, transaction expenses, adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration, net other income and expense, the impact of other infrequent or unusual transactions, and income tax effects of the foregoing, when making operational decisions.

Perficient believes that providing the non-GAAP financial measures to its investors is useful because it allows investors to evaluate Perficient’s performance using the same methodology and information used by Perficient’s management. Specifically, adjusted net income is used by management primarily to review business performance and determine performance-based incentive compensation for executives and other employees. Management uses adjusted EBITDA to measure operating profitability, evaluate trends, and make strategic business decisions.

Non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations because they do not include all of the expenses included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of discretionary judgment as to which charges are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measure. However, Perficient’s management compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per share. In addition, some items that are excluded from adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share can have a material impact on cash. Management compensates for these limitations by evaluating the non-GAAP measure together with the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Perficient has historically provided non-GAAP financial measures to the investment community as a supplement to its GAAP results to enable investors to evaluate Perficient’s business performance in the way that management does. Perficient’s definition may be different from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and/or analysts.

The non-GAAP adjustments, and the basis for excluding them, are outlined below:

Amortization

Perficient has incurred expense on amortization of intangible assets primarily related to various acquisitions. Management excludes these items for the purposes of calculating adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per share. Perficient believes that eliminating this expense from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because the amortization of intangible assets can be inconsistent in amount and frequency, and is significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of Perficient’s acquisition transactions, which also vary substantially in frequency from period to period.

Acquisition Costs

Perficient incurs transaction costs related to merger and acquisition-related activities which are expensed in its GAAP financial statements. Management excludes these items for the purposes of calculating adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per share. Perficient believes that excluding these expenses from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because these are expenses associated with each transaction and are inconsistent in amount and frequency causing comparison of current and historical financial results to be difficult.

Transaction Expenses

Perficient has incurred a variety of expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement with EQT. Management excludes these items for the purposes of calculating adjusted EBITDA. Perficient believes that excluding these expenses from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because these are one-time expenses that are not reflective of the underlying operations of the business.

Adjustment to Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

Perficient is required to remeasure its contingent consideration liability related to acquisitions each reporting period until the contingency is settled. Any changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. Management excludes these items for the purposes of calculating adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per share. Perficient believes that excluding these adjustments from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because they are related to acquisitions and are inconsistent in amount and frequency from period to period.

Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs

On November 9, 2021, Perficient issued $380.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026, and on August 14, 2020, Perficient issued $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.250% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2026 Notes,” and “2025 Notes,” respectively, and collectively, the “Notes”) in private placements to qualified institutional purchasers. Issuance costs attributable to the Notes, in addition to issuance costs related to Perficient’s credit agreement, are being amortized to interest expense over their respective terms. Perficient believes that excluding these non-cash expenses from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because the expenses are not reflective of Perficient’s business performance.

Foreign Exchange Loss (Gain)

Non-operating foreign currency exchange gains and losses, inclusive of gains and losses on related foreign exchange forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes, are reported in net other (income) expense in our consolidated statements of operations. As our operations expand into countries outside of the United States, foreign exchange gains and losses have and will become increasingly material. Perficient believes that excluding these gains and losses from its non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because foreign exchange gains and losses will vary as the underlying currencies fluctuate, which makes it difficult to compare current and historical results.

Stock Compensation

Perficient incurs stock-based compensation expense under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Perficient excludes stock-based compensation expense and the related tax effects for the purposes of calculating adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per share because stock-based compensation is a non-cash expense, which Perficient believes is not reflective of its business performance. The nature of stock-based compensation expense also makes it very difficult to estimate prospectively, since the expense will vary with changes in the stock price and market conditions at the time of new grants, varying valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and different award types, making the comparison of current results with forward-looking guidance potentially difficult for investors to interpret. The tax effects of stock-based compensation expense may also vary significantly from period to period, without any change in underlying operational performance, thereby obscuring the underlying profitability of operations relative to prior periods. Perficient believes that non-GAAP measures of profitability, which exclude stock-based compensation, are widely used by analysts and investors.

Dilution Offset from Convertible Note Hedge Transactions

It is Perficient’s current intent to settle conversions of the Notes through combination settlement, which involves repayment of the principal portion in cash and any excess of the conversion value over the principal amount in shares of our common stock. Perficient excludes the shares that are issuable upon conversions of the Notes because Perficient expects that the dilution from such shares will be offset by the convertible note hedge transactions entered into in November 2021 and August 2020 in connection with the issuance of the Notes.
