E2open Announces Business Update and Executive Transition

Company Expects Preliminary Q2 F2015 Non-GAAP Revenues Between $20.6 and $20.7 million

Rob Schoenthaler, Chief Customer Officer, Assumes Responsibility for Sales Organization

Foster City, Calif. (September 10, 2014) – E2open, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOPN), the leading provider of strategic, cloud-based software solutions for collaborative planning and execution across global trading networks, today provided preliminary results for the second fiscal quarter ended August 31st and updated expectations for the full year fiscal 2015. In addition, the Company reported Rob Schoenthaler, E2open’s Chief Customer Officer, has assumed responsibility for the sales organization.

“Our new business activity remains strong, as evidenced by our preliminary results for the second quarter with top-line results within our prior guidance range and earnings better than our prior guidance range, along with our continued confidence in our new and upsell subscription bookings targets for fiscal 2015. We are seeing strength across our product portfolio and signed seven new customers in the quarter,” said Mark Woodward, E2open’s President and CEO. “However, we have recently learned that three significant customers will not be renewing their contracts with E2open as a result of their having been acquired. In addition, one other client is delaying the rollout of their E2open solutions into the next year. This unexpected reduction in our business has caused us to lower our revenue expectations for the balance of the year.”

“We are also announcing today that Rob Schoenthaler, our Chief Customer Officer, has assumed responsibility for the sales organization and will drive the continued evolution of our go-to-market efforts. Rob has been with E2open for seven years now and has been instrumental in spearheading our move to a more partner-centric model through his extensive relationships with both our customers and SI partners. Prior to his tenure at E2open, Rob led a supply chain practice at KPMG. As part of this transition, David Packer, our Chief Sales Officer, has resigned and will be transitioning out of the Company. We wish him the very best in his next endeavor.”

Preliminary Results/Guidance:

 

    For the second quarter fiscal 2015 ended August 31, 2014, E2open now expects:

 

    Total non-GAAP revenue to be in the range of $20.6 to $20.7 million and non-GAAP net loss per share to be in the range of ($0.13) to ($0.12). This compares to prior guidance of total non-GAAP revenue in the range of $20.2 million to $21.0 million and non-GAAP net loss per share in the range of ($0.20) to ($0.18).

 

    For the full year fiscal 2015 ending February 28, 2015, E2open now expects:

 

    Total non-GAAP revenue to be in the range of $83.0 to $85.5 million. This compares to prior guidance of total non-GAAP revenue in the range of $89.0 million to $91.5 million.

 

    New and upsell subscriptions and support bookings in the range of $91.5 million to $96.5 million, representing growth of approximately 29% to 36% compared to fiscal 2014. This is unchanged from prior guidance.

Reconciliations of second quarter fiscal 2015 non-GAAP revenue to GAAP revenue, and non-GAAP net loss per share to GAAP net loss per share is presented in Appendix I.


With respect to the Company’s full year 2015 expectations under “Preliminary Results/Guidance” above, the Company has not reconciled non-GAAP revenue to GAAP revenue because this item cannot be reasonably predicted.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our reported results include certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP net loss, weighted-average shares outstanding, and non-GAAP net loss per share. Non-GAAP net loss excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles, acquisition-related expenses, and non-cash income taxes, as they are often excluded by other companies to help investors understand the operational performance of their business and, in the case of stock-based compensation, can be difficult to predict. In addition, stock-based compensation expense varies from period to period and company to company due to such things as differing valuation methodologies and changes in stock price. Non-GAAP revenue and non-GAAP net loss also exclude the impact of certain accelerated revenue recognized in connection with a contract amendment in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and the impact of purchase accounting adjustments to deferred revenue related to acquisitions. Management believes that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability with our past financial performance, facilitates period to period comparisons of results of operations, and also facilitates comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding our operating results. The non-GAAP results should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
