Financial Outlook
AvePoint is providing guidance for its second quarter and full year 2022 as follows:
- Second Quarter 2022 Guidance : Total revenue is expected to be in the range of 54.0 million to 56.0 million USD or approximately 21% year-over-year growth. Non-GAAP operating loss is expected to be in the range of (1.5) to (2.5) million USD.
- Full Year 2022 Guidance : Total revenue is expected to be in the range of 238.0 million to 244.0 million USD or approximately 26 % year-over-year growth. Non-GAAP operating income/loss is expected to be in the range of a loss of (3.5) million USD to income of 1.0 million USD . ARR is expected to be in the range of 212 million to 216 million USD or approximately 34% year-over-year growth.
Edit:
Q&A:sta poiminta kassavirran osalta:
Similar to how we think about our revenue, cash flow follows a similar trend where our first two quarters of the year, we’re definitely consuming cash. And then generally, the second two quarters of the year, we will be producing cash. And again, we’re forecasting to be free cash flow positive for the full year. So the way I would look at that is, again, we’re expecting negative for Q2 and then positive Q3 important.

Q2 ulkona, toistaiseksi menee hyvin annettuun ohjeistukseen. FY2022 tosin hieman laskettu viime vuoden puolella annetusta liikevaihtoennusteesta. Näkyvyys siis kokonaisuutena hyvä ja jatkuva laskutus kasvaa koko ajan.
- Q2 EPS -0,05$
- Valuutoista kasvuun pientä iskua
- Kassassa edelleen varaa rahoittaa kasvua

We continue to see a powerful snowball effect from our growing channel business, launched just over one year ago, which provides small and midsized businesses with the same enterprise-grade technology available to Fortune 500 businesses.
During the quarter, we experienced a strong foreign exchange headwind due to the strength of the dollar, which affected revenue by approximately 3%. This headwind is primarily against our revenue and ARR metrics and not our profitability metrics due to the global nature of our operations.
Gross profit in the quarter was $41 million, representing a gross margin of 73.6% compared to 74.8% in the year-ago period. The slight margin decline is the result of our business mix and the impact of FX
The R&D Hub investment will see AvePoint hire and train over 500 digital professionals by 2026, nearly tripling its existing team of product and technology professionals in roles such as business analysts, data scientists, software architects and Microsoft-certified engineers in Singapore. The company will provide robust professional development opportunities, empower local leadership, and invest in collaborative recruitment with local education institutions. With the growth of a vibrant R&D community in Singapore, AvePoint intends to continue product innovation to address modern digital challenges including hybrid work collaboration, security, responsible use of artificial intelligence, blended learning, and well-being.

Yritysostot on myös strategiassa, osuvia kohteita edullisella valuaatiolla löytyy ainakin Innofactorin tai Digian suunnalta 
The main argument for AvePoint is its relatively cheap valuation for a software business. It is currently generating about $220 million per year in revenues. Meanwhile, the market cap is just $750 million, putting the stock at less than 4x sales.
Furthermore, the company has $250 million of cash and short-term investments and no debt, putting its enterprise value at just $500 million. This works out to an EV/Sales ratio of just 2.4x. That’s getting pretty cheap, not just for software, but for a variety of higher gross margin businesses.
The issue, like with so many software companies, is profitability, or the lack thereof. However, AvePoint is not particularly bloated as far as expenses go, it is only losing about $40 million per year. That gives it at least a six year burn rate as things stand today.
And, looking at the income statement, there’s a lot to like. Gross margins are already in the 70s and trending higher. And with 80% of revenues being recurring, there shouldn’t be much volatility in results either.
“only losing about $40 million per year”
Aihiot on kyllä hyvälle kannattavuudelle, jos kasvu- ja kehityspanoksista vähennetään. Artikkelin mukaan menisi 6 vuotta tällä käteisen polttamisella kasvua rakentaessa. Tosin M&A strategiana on edelleen työn alla, josta kuluja tullee vielä lisää
Valuutat kurittaa, kasvu jatkuu odotetun mukaisena. Vahvaa tekemistä ja jos USD yhtään nyt kääntää suuntaa, niin EPS kääntyy nopeasti.
Koko vuoden ennustetta kavennettu, ikävästi vain sieltä yläpäästä tulosrivien osalta. Tässäkin ilmeisesti lähinnä USD-kurssi syö kannattavuutta. Liikevaihto- ja ARR -ennusteet ennallaan.
