What's in the Offing for Nutanix (NTNX) This Earnings Season?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Nutanix (NTNX - Free Report) is slated to report second-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Mar 2.
The company expects revenues to be $400-$410 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Nutanix’s second-quarter revenues is pegged at $407.9 million, suggesting growth of 17.8% from the year-ago reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the bottom line stands at a loss of 21 cents per share, which indicates a significant improvement from the year-ago quarter’s loss of 37 cents per share.
The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 27.2%.
Nutanix’s fiscal second-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from robust growth in its hyper-converged solutions and automation services. The ongoing shift to cloud solutions due to the remote-working trend might have acted as a key catalyst in the quarter to be reported.
Nutanix anticipates Annual Contract Value (“ACV”) billings between $195 million and $200 million in the fiscal second quarter, suggesting year-over-year growth of 23-26%. The company is likely to have witnessed significant sequential growth in emerging products ACV bookings in the to-be-reported quarter.
The company expects the average contract term length to have risen in the quarter under review primarily due to lower federal business. Note that the average contract term length declined to 3.1 year in the previous quarter from the year-ago quarter’s figure of 3.5 year.
Nutanix expects non-GAAP gross margin to be approximately 82-82.5%. The company manages expenses with several cost-reduction methods. This may have contributed to margins.
Non-GAAP operating expenses are projected in the range of $360 million to $365 million.
In its last reported quarterly conference call, Nutanix management stated that they would implement a revised incentive program in the fiscal second quarter to expand opportunities across all the solution portfolios. This is likely to have driven sales in the to-be-reported quarter.
Expansion in the company’s customer base as a consequence of the strategic partnership with Red Hat is likely to have contributed to the company’s second-quarter performance. Specifically, an increase in Acropolis Hypervisor Virtualization (“AHV”) adoption rate might get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter’s top line.
Nutanix’s continued focus on enhancing its go-to-market productivity levels through efficient digital marketing spending, optimizing headcounts and leveraging its channel partners might have positively impacted the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.
In the quarter under review, Nutanix estimates utilization of free cash flow worth approximately $25 million.
Nonetheless, the ongoing transition to a subscription-based business model might have weighed on the fiscal second-quarter top line.
