Read MoreHide Full Article
Veeva Systems Inc. (VEEV - Free Report) is scheduled to release second-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Aug 28, after the closing bell.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 13.79%. Further, its beat estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 10.3%.
Q2 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s fiscal second-quarter earnings is pegged at 64 cents, suggesting an improvement of 16.4% from the year-ago quarter. The same for revenues stands at $339.7 million, indicating growth of 27.3% from the prior-year reported figure.
Factors to Note
Veeva Systems unique product portfolio, comprising Veeva Vault, Veeva CRM, Veeva Network and Veeva OpenData, might have driven the fiscal second-quarter performance.
Veeva Systems’ first cloud-based content management system, built specifically for life sciences — Veeva Vault — is likely to have added new Vault customers in the fiscal second quarter.
Strength across each Vault application area, including continued momentum in more established products and early success for new products, may have benefited the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.
Further, Veeva Commercial Cloud and Veeva Vault are likely to have contributed to Professional Service and Other segment’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter. Additionally, Veeva Systems’ subscription revenues might have benefited from increase in bookings in the fiscal second quarter.
Strong performance across Veeva Systems’ segments — Subscription Service and Professional Service and Others — is likely to get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter’s revenues. Notably, the company expects revenues between $339 million and $341 million in second-quarter fiscal 2021.
In March, Veeva Systems announced that Veeva Data Cloud will provide support to the industry by bringing greater innovation and choice to the data market. Furthermore, the company signed a multi-product deal with a top 20 pharma in Europe for Vault in the clinical and regulatory areas.
Further, in May 2020, the company announced MyVeeva for clinical trials. Notably, it is a software designed to enable clinical research sites to interact more remotely with their patients when required so that they can have a mix of in-office and virtual visits.
Management anticipates significant contribution from the Crossix and Physicians World buyouts in fiscal 2021 with the estimate between $90 million and $95 million.
These positive developments are likely to have impacted the fiscal second-quarter performance.
However, escalating expenses on the operational side might have weighed on Veeva Systems’ margins.
