Kinaxis Inc.
Q1 mixed, FY23 guidance slightly raised

TSX: KXS | CAD 176.80 | Outperform | Price Target CAD 210.00

Sentiment: Neutral

Q1 mixed. Q1 revenue was $101MM, in line with RBC/consensus at $101MM. SaaS revenue was $63MM (+28% Y/Y), slightly above RBC/consensus at $62MM. On higher opex, adj. EBITDA of $17MM was below RBC/consensus at $22MM/$18MM. Similarly, adj. EPS of $0.40 fell short of our estimate for $0.46 (consensus at $0.37).

FY23 guidance slightly raised. Kinaxis raised FY23 total revenue guidance from $420-430MM (16% Y/Y mid-point) to $425-435MM (17% Y/Y mid-point). SaaS revenue growth guidance was unchanged at 25-27% Y/Y. The upside to guidance was largely driven by Term License, which Kinaxis now sees at $16-18MM, up from $12-14MM previously. Also, Kinaxis raised FY23 adj. EBITDA margin guidance to 14-16% (vs. 13-15% prior), which implies $65MM at the mid-point, up from $60MM prior.

ARR and RPO growth slows. ARR rose 24% Y/Y constant currency, which slowed from 26% Q4. SaaS backlog (RPO) increased 19% Y/Y to $528MM, which was down 4% sequentially. SaaS RPO growth slowed from 30% Y/Y Q4. The slowdown in ARR and RPO growth appears to reflect “an uncertain economic backdrop” which is driving “extra rigor in purchasing processes”.

Conference call tomorrow at 8:30am ET. Link to the webcast registration here.
