Zuora: Now Is The Time To Sell

Summary Zuora, Inc. stock is recommended as a SELL due to its $10 per share acquisition price, offering no upside potential. Significant insider selling suggests limited future value, raising concerns about the stock's prospects even with the acquisition in progress. The acquisition price matches the current market price, providing no additional gains and making holding the stock pointless. If the acquisition fails, investor confidence will plummet, and weak billings growth indicates softening demand, increasing the risk of holding the stock. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Zuora: Cheap Valuation Trumps The Mixed Outlook Messaging

Summary Zuora's stock has underperformed despite a strong market, but its low valuation and profit expansion make it a prudent investment opportunity. The company raised its full-year revenue outlook and significantly boosted its profit outlook, despite lowering ARR growth expectations due to expected macro softness. Zuora's unique subscription-focused solutions, expanding profitability, and potential as an acquisition target bolster its long-term investment appeal. With steady revenue growth, expanding profit margins, and a bargain valuation, Zuora is a great buy-and-hold opportunity for patient investors. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Zuora: A Company With Potential, Issues, And A Takeover Ready Valuation

Summary ZUO’s revenue growth has been strong during the last decade (+22%), although there appears to be a slowdown to low single-digits in recent peers. Despite consistently upselling its existing customer base, we feel ZUO is struggling with competitive pressures, restricting its ability to acquire customers at a considerable rate. This has restricted its ability to progress margins to the level expected by investors. We believe ZUO can reach an adj. EBITDA-M of ~15%. ZUO’s financial performance is underwhelming relative to its peers, although the business should be able to close the gap over time. It is critical that it maintain its upselling momentum. ZUO’s valuation is heavily depressed, with a >150% discount to its peers. We believe this, alongside its NTM FCF yield of 5%, makes it an attractive takeover target, protecting downside risk.

Zuora: Valuation To Rerate As Growth Reaccelerates

Summary I expect growth acceleration driven by a sales strategy pivot and the potential for reversion to higher valuation multiples. Zuora offers a product that supports subscription and usage-based businesses in managing their order-to-cash cycles, filling a gap in the market. ZUO's shift to targeting smaller markets with a single product is expected to help mitigate near-term weaknesses and provide long-term growth opportunities. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Zuora: Perfect Rebound Play

Summary Shares of Zuora have slipped nearly 60% over the past year. Despite pessimism surrounding this name, Zuora has maintained high-teens growth on a constant-currency basis. Its niche aspect of providing revenue management software specifically for subscription businesses makes it a nice potential acquisition target. Trading below 2x forward revenue, Zuora is one of the cheapest SaaS stocks on the market. To me, the markets seem ready for a tear after a year of disappointing news. In my view, the best way to play the upcoming rebound is to focus our portfolio on "growth at a reasonable price" stocks - in particular in the small and mid-cap space, which have seen giant corrections over the past year. Zuora (ZUO) is a name worth watching, and I've continued to slowly add to my position in this stock as it trades sideways. A SaaS company that provides revenue management software specifically for other subscription and recurring-revenue businesses, Zuora is still exhibiting steady growth and has hit above-breakeven operating margins on a pro forma basis. These are all the ingredients that can help the stock reverse from a -60% decline over the past twelve months. Data by YCharts Revisiting the bull case for Zuora I am very bullish on Zuora in this market. Even though this company is an off-the-radar play that isn't getting much mainstream attention, I think there are plenty of fundamental qualities in this stock that can unlock tremendous value. Here is my full bullish thesis on Zuora: Subscription-based business models are becoming dominant. Given the fact that more and more businesses are adopting this type of model, Zuora's base of potential customers has widened significantly. Zuora's uniqueness in this regard is also important to point out: companies can choose a regular ERP, but Zuora's subscription-focused solutions help to address common pain points. Innovation track record is strong; the product portfolio is expanding. There's virtually no other company that markets itself as a purpose-built platform for subscription companies. Zuora has also done a good job at fleshing out its portfolio of solutions, ranging from revenue management to billing tools to CPQ (configure, price and quote) applications. Zuora grows along with its customers. As Zuora's clients grow their subscriber bases, so does Zuora's opportunity to monetize and grow alongside its customers. The company has noted that upsells have hit a "record pace", and highlighted several key milestones like GoPro's (GPRO) subscription-based storage and insurance program (a key feature of the company's planned turnaround) hitting one million subscribers. Offloading services work to partners. As Zuora has scaled, it has also been able to ramp up its third-party vendors and resellers to take on more of the unprofitable services/onboarding work that typically acts as a drag on software-company margins. Zuora's mix of subscription versus services revenue has grown over the past several quarters, helping boost gross margins and illustrating where Zuora would prefer to be at scale. Acquisition possibility, especially after the company hit breakeven. While I never like to base any investment decision based on high hopes that the stock will get acquired, Zuora checks off a lot of boxes for being acquired: it's small with just a ~$1 billion market cap; it offers a very unique product that many larger software companies may want to get their hands on, especially during times when organic growth is fading; and it has positive pro forma operating margins. Valuation check-up The most compelling reason to be long on Zuora, however, is its valuation. At current share prices just under $7, Zuora trades at a market cap of $899.1 million. After we net off the $400.6 million of cash and $208.4 million of debt on Zora's most recent balance sheet, the company's resulting enterprise value is $706.9 million. For the next fiscal year FY24 (which for Zuora is the fiscal year ending in January 2024), Wall Street analysts have a consensus revenue target of $432.4 million for the company, representing 10% y/y growth (data from Yahoo Finance). This puts Zuora's valuation at just 1.6x EV/FY24 revenue. Needless to say, this is one of the cheapest multiples in the enterprise software sector. Post-earnings malaise Now, Zuora is up about ~20% from its December lows in the mid-$5s, but the company is still under the cloud of a poorly received earnings release in early December. The main issue here was Zuora's outlook. Zuora outlook (Zuora Q3 earnings release) As shown above, the company guided to $99.5-$101.5 million in total revenue for Q4, and $87.5-$88.5 million in subscription revenue, which represents midpoint growth rates of 11% y/y and 14% y/y, respectively. This represents deceleration from 14% y/y total growth and 17% y/y subscription growth in Q3. Further, Zuora posted an initial growth outlook for FY24 as well that calls for subscription revenue growth to fall to the low teens in a range of 11-14% y/y. The company is baking in recent trends and sales cycle elongations in posting this outlook. Per CFO Todd McElhatton's remarks on the Q3 earnings call: As many other software companies have reported, we are also experiencing pressure from the current economic trends. During Q3, we encountered some elongated sales cycles and some deals requiring additional levels of approval. As I speak with customers engagement and demand for our solutions continues to be high. In fact, top of funnel generation has grown by double digits. As a result, we are directing our sales efforts in the areas we saw the most success over the past couple of years. We are directing resources towards our alliance partners versus internal demand generation. Similarly, we are focused on areas to help our customers reduce costs as they navigate the current environment."

Zuora: Solid Subscription Revenue Despite Headwinds

Summary Zuora is a software company that has developed a subscription solution for large organizations. The company reported solid financial results for Q3 FY23, as it beat revenue expectations and non-GAAP earnings. Zuora recently acquired subscription experience platform Zephr for $44 million in cash. Zuora hopes this will help its expansion into the media and publishing industry. Zuora (ZUO) is a software company that helps other companies set up their own subscription business. The company was a pioneer in the industry and its founder Tien Tzuo, even wrote a book on the subscription industry called "Subscribed". Zuora effectively became a thought leader in the industry and then used its clout to win major clients. Subscription models are my favorite type of business model as they generate consistent revenue, are easy to upsell, and are also a low-friction payment method for the customer. Zuora effectively offers an enterprise-grade subscription and revenue management solution to companies. Companies can build their own subscription service with various software tools but of course, it's easier to just use Zuora. In my previous post on Zuora, I discussed its product and business model in detail. But in this post I'm going to break down its recent financials and valuation, let's dive in. Data by YCharts Third Quarter Financials Zuora reported strong financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year 2023. Revenue was $101.1 million which beat analyst expectations by $861,000 year over year and increased by 13% year over year. This revenue was slightly impacted by unfavorable foreign exchange headwinds, as it increased by 17% year over year on a constant currency basis. Zuora makes the majority (86%) of its revenue from subscription services... as you would expect. In this case, Subscription revenue was $86.6 million which increased by 17% year over year or 20% on a constant currency basis, which is solid. Data by YCharts Zuora also reported $359.7 million in Annual Recurring Revenue [ARR] which increased by 19% year over year and is consistent with the prior year despite economic challenges. A key metric to analyze is "transaction volume" which is an indicator of its customer's usage of Zuora solutions. In this case, the company reported $21.5 billion in transaction volume which increased by 15% year over year or 17% on a constant currency basis. The company has also continued to grow "upmarket" increasing its customers with at or above $100,000 in average contract value [ACV], by 6.9% year over year to 770 customers. These larger customers represent 95% of the company's business which is substantial. Overall, this is positive as a fewer number of larger customers tends to be easier to manage. In addition, large enterprises tend to have high contract value. In the third quarter alone, the company closed six deals with an average contract value [ACV] of $500,000 or more, with two deals over $1 million. Its new customer wins include a range of companies across many industries. From camera manufacturer Canon to Michelin the tire company, and Suzuki Motor Corporation. Another notable customer win was Enercare which is one of Canada's largest energy solutions companies. Zuora replaced Enercare's existing billing system and offered new features such as product subscriptions, rental and maintenance plans for its products. Zuora continues to offer strong value to its customers with a dollar-based retention rate of 109%, which means buyers are staying with the platform and spending more. Acquisition of Zephr Zuora has recently acquired the subscription experience company Zephr for $44 million in cash. Zephr specializes in subscription solutions for the digital publishing and media industry. For example, one of its clients is News Corp Australia which reported a 13% year-over-year increase in subscriber growth thanks to the usage of Zephr. Zuora plans to use Zephr as a cross-sell tool and a foothold with a greater number of media and publishing clients. Overall I see the synergies, but given the macroeconomic environment, I think it would have made more sense to delay acquisitions unless the business got a really good deal, which is hard to calculate. Profitability and Expenses Zuora reported a non-GAAP subscription gross margin of 79%, which was high but it did decline by 90 basis points year over year. A positive is this was driven by infrastructure investments and thus will likely not be a negative long term. Its non-GAAP operating income was $0.6 million, which was better than the $1.2 million operating loss in the prior year. This improvement was driven by revenue growth and more disciplined investments. The company has recently announced the layoff of 11% of its employees, in order to match the current macroeconomic climate. An issue with this is in the short term, the company needs to pay out $9.5 million for its employee severance package and transition-related costs. Moving forward, the company expects to save ~$29 million from a combination of actions, which should improve the bottom line substantially. Data by YCharts Zuora has a strong balance sheet with $401 million in cash and cash equivalents. In addition to total debt of $258 million, of which just $600,000 is current debt and thus manageable. Advanced Valuation In order to value Zuora, I have plugged the latest financials into my advanced valuation model which uses the discounted cash flow method of valuation. I have forecasted 10% revenue growth for next year, which I expect to be muted due to the uncertain macroeconomic environment. However, in years 2 to 5, I have forecasted a rebound to 15% per year over the next 2 to 5 years. Zuora stock valuation 1 (created by author Ben at Motivation 2 Invest) To increase the accuracy of the valuation, I have capitalized R&D expenses which have lifted net income. In addition, I have forecasted its pre-tax operating margin to increase to 24% over the next 8 years, which is the average for the software industry.
