Company to report Q4 and full year 2018 financial results and host
conference call on February 12, 2019
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Quotient
Technology Inc. (NYSE: QUOT) today announced certain preliminary
unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended
December 31, 2018.
Based upon preliminary unaudited financial information, Quotient expects
to report revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018 in the range of
approximately $106.5 million to $107.5 million, compared to the
company’s previously announced guidance range of $115.0 million to
$120.0 million provided on November 7, 2018. The Company anticipates
that a portion of the revenue shortfall will flow through our net loss.
For the full year of 2018, Quotient expects to report revenue in the
range of approximately $386.5 million to $387.5 million, compared to the
company’s previously announced guidance range of $395.0 million to
$400.0 million provided on November 7, 2018.
“Promotion revenue in the fourth quarter was impacted by unexpected
softness as a number of CPG customers cut their spend significantly in
December. Revenue from media in the fourth quarter, continued to grow
significantly year over year but was also impacted by the CPG spending
cuts. These preliminary results imply a revenue growth rate of
approximately 20% for the full year 2018 over 2017, an increase over the
17% growth rate for the full year 2017 over 2016,” said Mir Aamir,
President and CEO of Quotient. “As CPGs approach their end of quarter or
fiscal year, advertising and promotion spending is typically regarded as
flexible, and one of the easiest expenses to cut at the end of a
financial period. We remain confident in our business and expect revenue
growth to accelerate for the full year 2019. We look forward to
providing more color on our February earnings call.”
