Upland Software (UPLD) Adjusts 2015 Guidance Following 3Q; Needham & Company Reiterates Buy

Needham & Company reiterated a Buy rating and $12.00 price target on Upland Software (NASDAQ: UPLD) following the company's 3Q earnings report. Management was relatively upbeat on the call, especially around EBITDA outperformance and the health of the M&A pipeline. Management tightened F15 revenue guidance to $68.9-69.9 million (from $68.6-71.6 million) and adjusted EBITDA guidance to $3.5-4.1 million (from $3.4-4.4 million).

Analyst Michael Huang commented, "Upland Software delivered a decent albeit nonspectacular quarter, highlighted by solid customer acquisition (added 120 customers and 8 major accounts vs. 81 and 10 in 2Q vs. 102 and 13 in 1Q), expanding EBITDA margins (up 240 bps), raised FY15 EBITDA guidance (by $600K at the midpoint), continued product innovations, ramping expansion/cross-sell activity, and pipeline strength. On the unimpressive side, revenue was slightly below expectations and guidance was lowered at the midpoint of the range (by $700K), likely reflecting management’s focus on optimizing EBITDA at the expense of organic growth."
