E2open Parent Holdings’ shares jumped close to 15% in Wednesday premarket trading after the connected supply chain software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform reported third-quarter revenue that beat expectations and refined its full-year guidance.
Revenue for the quarter declined 5.2% to $156.4 million but came in above analysts’ consensus of $154.7 million. Adjusted earnings per share were in line with expectations at $0.04.
“Although our revenue growth has been below our potential, we are intently focused on returning to sustainable growth by implementing specific action plans to improve sales execution, deepen client engagement, and deliver flawless implementations,” interim CEO Andrew Appel commented in a statement.
“While this change process will take several quarters to materially impact our top line, our teams are excited by the client-centric approach, the early signs of progress we saw during the fiscal third quarter and the tremendous opportunity we have in front of us to create value for our clients and shareholders.”
The company now expects full-year GAAP revenue of between $628 million and $633 million versus its prior guidance of $625 million and $635 million, reflecting a 3.3% year-over-year decrease at the midpoint.
Ahead of the opening bell, the company’s shares were up 14.6% at $4.40.
