Anaplan is set to report second-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Aug 26.
Anaplan expects second-quarter revenues between $103 million and $104 million. The consensus mark for revenues currently stands at $103.8 million, suggesting growth of 22.8% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
For the quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for loss has been steady at 12 cents per share over the past 30 days.
Notably, the company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate over the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 32.1%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement.
Key Factors to Consider
Expansion of Anaplan’s user base is expected to have benefited its second-quarter performance. Solid demand for the company’s connected-planning solution, owing to the ongoing digital transformation among global enterprises, is expected to have aided the dollar-based network-expansion rate, which was 117% in the last-reported quarter.
Notably, at the end of the fiscal first quarter, the company served 367 customers with more than $250K in annual recurring revenues, which reflected impressive year-over-year growth of 32%.
However, the coronavirus-led disruption is expected to have hurt the momentum in the to-be-reported quarter. Moreover, operating costs are expected to have increased due to the company’s go-to-market and technology-platform investments, thereby negatively impacting profitability.
