BOX Gears Up to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Box, Inc. (BOX - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter fiscal 2023 results on May 25.
For the fiscal first quarter, BOX expects revenues between $233 million and $235 million, suggesting a 16% year over year rise at the high-end of the range. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at $234.2 million, indicating growth of 15.7% from the last fiscal year’s quarterly reported value.
Further, Box anticipates non-GAAP earnings per share of 24-25 cents. The consensus mark for earnings per share is pegged at 25 cents, suggesting an improvement of 38.9% from the previous fiscal year’s reported figure. Also, the figure has been unchanged for the past 30 days.
Earnings of BOX surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average being 9.6%.
Box’s performance for the fiscal first quarter is likely to have benefited from the growing adoption of its content cloud solutions by the new and existing customers. Also, growth in the net retention rate is expected to have remained a tailwind.
Increasing demand for hybrid working and online learning methods is anticipated to have driven the quarterly performance.
Rising demand for digital transformation, data security, compliance and privacy in businesses is expected to have benefited the to-be-reported quarter.
During the fiscal first quarter, Box was selected by Japan Post to securely share critical information with both internal and external users. This might have supported its quarterly performance.
Further, BOX’s growing efforts toward product innovation are expected to have aided the quarter under review.
In the fiscal first quarter, Box unveiled a virtual whiteboarding and visual collaboration experience solution named Box Canvas to offer a secure collaboration platform to hybrid teams. Also, Box made its integration with Slack generally available so that customers can use Box as the single file storage system in the Slack environment. These initiatives are likely to have benefited its performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
This apart, go-to-market strategies, including price optimization and packaging, might have aided Box’s performance in the quarter under discussion.
However, rising cloud competition from players like Google and Dropbox is expected to have remained a concern in the quarter to be reported.
Further, mounting expenses related to research & development and sales & marketing might have dented margins and profits in the first quarter.
