Cloud-based solutions provider Brightcove
Inc.’s (BCOV) second quarter 2012 non-GAAP loss of 10
cents per share improved from a loss of 91 cents reported in the
previous-year quarter and was narrower than the Zacks Consensus
Estimate of a loss of 13 cents. However, including stock-based
compensation of 5 cents, the loss per share came in at 14
cents.
Quarter Details
Revenue increased 41.2% from the year-ago quarter to $21.6
million, primarily driven by Subscription and support revenue
(42.8% increase year-over-year) and Professional services and other
revenue (12.5% increase year-over-year). Reported revenue also beat
the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $20.0 million.
Gross profit (including stock based compensation) increased
46.7% from the previous-year quarter to 15.2 million, while gross
margin increased 250 basis points boosted by the prudent revenue
mix.
Operating expenses increased 23.7% from the previous-year
quarter to $19.1 million due to 21.0% year-over-year increase in
the Research & development expenses, 15.5% year-on-year rise in
Sales & Marketing expenses and 30.3% jump in General &
Administrative expenses.
Loss from operations (including stock based compensation)
improved from $5.07 million reported in the previous-year quarter
to $3.41 million on higher revenue base.
Net loss (including stock-based compensation) of $3.86 million
improved from loss of $5.46 million in the previous-year
quarter.
Exiting the second quarter, Brightcove had cash, cash
equivalents and investments of $58.6 million, down $2.0 million
from the previous quarter. The company does not have any long-term
debt.
Outlook
For the third quarter, the company expects revenues in the range
of $21.1 million to $21.6 million. Non-GAAP net loss is expected in
the range of 12 cents to 11 cents. The Zacks Consensus Estimate is
pinned at a loss of 10 cents.
For fiscal 2012, management expects revenue to be in the range
of $85.3 million to $86.0 million, and non-GAAP net loss per share
is expected in the range of 47 cents to 44 cents.
Recommendation
We believe that strong demand for cloud-based solutions,
security and mobile products, and online video along with strategic
acquisitions are the positives for the stock over the long
term.
However, intense competition from Akamai Technologies
Inc. (AKAM) and Limelight Networks, Inc.
(LLNW) coupled with sluggish macro-economic environment are the
near-term headwinds.
We maintain our Neutral recommendation on a long-term basis
(6-12 months). Currently, Brightcove has a Zacks #3 Rank, which
implies a Hold rating on a short-term basis.
