Talend is a software company
producing products to integrate mass data, and information from the
cloud. Founded in 2005, the international company went public
7/29/2016. Talend is valued based on expectations, as it is not yet
profitable, and the company is growing at a fast rate.
In the most recent quarter,
Talend increased its revenue by 45% on a year-over-year basis. The
company substantially reduced the net loss per share with its IPO, as
there has been a large increase in the amount of shares outstanding.
Adjusted for the increase in shares, the company reduced their losses
$.16 per share, or 50%, in the last quarter. With the IPO, the
company increased its cash pile by 13 times the amount they had previously. The company reported its “borrowings”
decreased to an almost negligible level, and they announced a
substantial increase in their cash used to repay "borrowings". It
appears the company utilized cash acquired in the IPO to repay debt,
and has paid off almost all of their debt, and the company still has a large amount of cash remaining. The company also received
a tax credit in the last quarter, boosting their income from the
comparable quarter of last year. Gross margins decreased by 2% on a
year-over-year basis, and the company increased its spending in sales
and marketing more than its increases in R&D and administrative
costs. The company is predicting
revenue of $143.5 million for FY 2017, up from 105.7 million in 2016.
The company's CEO, Mike
Tuchen, assumed office in 2013, and had previously served as a CEO
and executive at rapid7 and Microsoft, respectively. On March 7.
2017, the company filed for a second offering, presumably to raise
more cash. With 617 employees in 2016, the company is a small force
attempting to expand its business and pay off debt with aggressive
marketing and accrual of cash.
Valued based on expectations
rather than profits, TLND has risen approximately 21% since going
public. Between 2015 and 2016, the company increased earnings 29%,
compared to 19% between 2014 and 2015. If the company holds true to
its guidance, the FY 2017 revenue gain will be 26% over 2016. Investors do not
yet have a timetable for when the company will become profitable.
