Enfusion, Inc. (ENFN)·Q3 2024 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Q3 delivered solid execution: revenue $51.2M (+15.4% YoY), adjusted EBITDA $11.1M (21.8% margin), adjusted EPS $0.05; client count reached a record 894 and ARR crossed $200M to $202.7M .
  • Full-year 2024 guidance narrowed: revenue to $202–$205M (from $200–$210M) and adjusted EBITDA to $41–$45M (from $40–$45M); medium‑term 2025–2027 targets unchanged (20–22% annual revenue growth; 200–400 bps annual adjusted EBITDA margin expansion) .
  • Growth mix skewed to new logos: front book contributed 14% growth while back book contributed 1%, with back book softness tied to APAC geopolitical headwinds and domestic hedge fund OpEx scrutiny ahead of the election; management expects back book to normalize to 3–5% contribution over time .
  • Potential stock catalysts: record EMEA bookings, rising ACV, broader up‑market wins (e.g., TT International) driven by Portfolio Workbench, and FY guidance tightening; watch for Q4 implied revenue needed to meet guidance and back book recovery signals .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

  • What Went Well

    • “We delivered $51.2 million in revenue in Q3 2024, representing 15% year-over-year growth” as adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 21.8%; 38 new clients brought total clients to a record 894 .
    • Up‑market momentum: marquee wins such as TT International replacing multiple systems with Enfusion’s front‑to‑back solution; Portfolio Workbench central to landing larger, more profitable relationships .
    • EMEA had its highest quarterly new client bookings ever with average deal size in EMEA ~2x vs early 2023; Americas launches on track to be best since 2021; 32% of new clients now from outside US/UK/HK .
  • What Went Wrong

    • Back book growth slowed to 1% YoY in Q3 (vs historical 3–5%), pressured by APAC geopolitical headwinds and domestic hedge fund OpEx scrutiny ahead of the election .
    • APAC revenue growth moderated to 6% YoY (from 10% in Q2) amid capital outflows and geopolitics affecting hedge funds, despite share gains with traditional/hybrid asset managers .
    • Net dollar retention dipped to ~102% (down ~1pt QoQ), partly due to consolidation of two large broker-dealer customers (~60 bps headwind; rolls off in Q4) .

Q&A Highlights

  • Back book recovery and profitability: Management cited multiple 2025 “levers” (pricing actions, product deployments, more up‑market whitespace) and expects margin expansion into 2025 via pass‑through discipline .
  • NDR trajectory: NDR around 102–103% appears to have bottomed; ~60 bps headwind from UBS‑CS rolls off in Q4; aim to improve into 2025 as upsells stabilize and downgrades ease .
  • Managed services upgrades: Enhancements address client demand for more visual/interactive workflows and internal productivity to improve MS margins (offense and defense rationale) .
  • Up‑market pipeline and conversions: 30–40% conversion on qualified up‑market opportunities; Workbench features are unlocking wins; steady cadence of weekly feature releases supports ongoing momentum .
  • Strategic alternatives: Management declined to comment on market rumors; reiterated focus on long‑term shareholder value .

Estimates Context

  • S&P Global consensus data for ENFN was unavailable through our data connection during this analysis; therefore beat/miss vs consensus cannot be determined at this time. We will update when access is restored.
  • Guidance implications: FY24 revenue narrowed to $202–$205M; with 9M revenue of $148.673M, implied Q4 revenue to achieve guidance is ≈$53.3–$56.3M (our calculation) .
  • Given raised low‑end revenue and EBITDA ranges, Street models may need to shift FY24 higher on the low end, with particular focus on Q4 execution and back book indicators .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Execution remains strong: ARR topped $200M, adjusted margins expanded, and ACV set a record as up‑market strategy and Portfolio Workbench drive mix improvement .
  • Growth mix is skewed to new logos (front book 14%) while back book (1%) is expected to recover as pricing actions and cross‑sell/upsell features roll out into 2025; monitor NDR and back book commentary .
  • Regional dynamics create a balanced growth setup: EMEA bookings records and Americas launches offset APAC macro pressure; watch early‑stage Dubai build‑out and institutional wins .
  • FY24 guidance narrowed with higher low ends; focus shifts to Q4 delivery (implied $53–$56M revenue) and the 2025 re‑acceleration narrative underpinning 20–22% medium‑term growth .
  • Product catalysts: Workbench premium features, managed services platform upgrades, AI‑enabled documentation (Violet), data warehouse analytics (GCP), and marketplace partnerships provide 2025 monetization vectors .
  • Liquidity supports organic and inorganic options (≈$48M cash; $100M revolver); no debt reduces risk into macro uncertainty .
  • Watch list: back book recovery, pricing traction, APAC stabilization, system integrator channel productivity, and large up‑market conversions translating from bookings to ARR/Revenue in 2025 .
