Varonis Systems, Inc. reports results for the quarter ended September 30 - Earnings Summary

What happened

Varonis Systems reported adjusted earnings of 9 cents per share for the quarter ended September 30, up from 6 cents a year earlier and above analysts’ 3-cent expectation. Revenue increased 17.3% to $189.46 million, also exceeding expectations, although the company reported a net loss of $41.65 million.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Higher-than-expected adjusted earnings and revenue indicate stronger performance on those measures, which may support investor confidence in the company’s sales and cost control. However, the reported net loss shows that adjusted earnings do not represent the company’s full bottom-line result, leaving profitability a concern.

Analyst inference

Analysts’ average rating was hold, while the software peer group’s average was buy. The shares had gained 48.6% so far this year, and the median 12-month price target was about 2% above the last closing price, suggesting limited implied upside in that consensus measure.

Confirmed

What to watch

1. Watch whether revenue growth continues and whether it translates into improved reported profit, since the quarter combined 17.3% revenue growth with a $41.65 million net loss. Analyst inference
2. Check future results for the gap between adjusted earnings and reported earnings; the quarter showed 9 cents adjusted earnings per share but a reported loss of 36 cents per share. Confirmed
