Coupa Software Inc. reported third-quarter fiscal 2021 non-GAAP earnings of 18 cents per share that topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 350%. However, earnings deteriorated 10% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Revenues of $133 million outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.4%. Further, the top line increased 30.6% from the prior-year quarter’s figure.
Subscription revenues (88.8% of total revenues) surged 31% year over year to $118.1 million. Meanwhile, Professional services & other revenues (11.2%) climbed 28.2% year over year to $14.9 million.
Coupa Software, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
The top line benefitted from strong uptake of the company’s Business Spend Management (BSM) and Coupa Pay offerings. The company is witnessing robust adoption of spend management offerings amid coronavirus crisis-triggered macroeconomic weakness and work-from-home wave.
Apart from United States and Europe, Coupa Software witnessed improvement in emerging markets. The company added that sales doubled in the last 12 months across Asia-Pacific, Japan, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa.
Major Highlights
Coupa Software continued to add new clients to its customer base in the reported quarter. Some of the notable new deal wins in the quarter include Casey's General Stores (CASY - Free Report) , Immunovant (IMVT - Free Report) , GIS International, GlobalLogic, Downer EDI Services, Elevate Textiles, Flender, Ibstock Brick, LKAB, miR Scientific, Mayne Pharma, OES Equipment, Ovid Therapeutics, SafetyCulture, Sam's Mart, Welbilt and ZoomInfo.
To help customers with deployments, Coupa Software has been organizing Smarter Together webinar virtual events to engage the entire customer community.
Increasing customer base is expected to boost investors’ optimism in the company’s stock. Notably, shares of Coupa Software have returned 121.5% year to date, compared with the industry’s rally of 102.6%.
The company also extended collaboration with American Express to enable clients in the United States to use American Express virtual card payment option with Coupa Pay.
In the current quarter, Coupa Software’s Coupa Source to Pay solution was leveraged by Walmart (WMT - Free Report) to modernize its source-to-pay operations. Also, Coupa solutions are being deployed by United States House of Representatives to upgrade its administrative systems.
We believe that innovation and product enhancements will enable Coupa Software to capitalize on the opportunity in the BSM market presented by ongoing digital transformation triggered by coronavirus crisis.
However, stiff competition in Peer to Peer Lending (P2P) market along with weak adoption of Coupa Travel Sabre due to Covid-19 crisis induced lower spend on travel remain concerns for Coupa Software, which carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).

A select few stocks could skyrocket the most as rollout accelerates for this new tech. Early investors could see gains similar to buying Microsoft in the 1990s. Zacks’ just-released special report reveals 8 stocks to watch. The report is only available for a limited time.
