- Management lowered full‑year total revenue guidance to $101–$105M but maintained recurring revenue ($87–$89M) and adjusted EBITDA ($15.0–$16.4M), citing delayed start dates and slower services activity; secular mix continues to shift toward SaaS subscriptions .
- Mix improvements supported gross margin stability at 65% and operating profit of $1.0M, but services utilization and maintenance attrition weighed on growth; EBITDA was $2.2M and adjusted EBITDA was $3.8M for the quarter .
- Strategic narrative centers on AI‑first supply chain planning, rebranding to Logility Supply Chain Solutions, and leadership recognitions (Gartner, IDC) positioning for subscription growth despite macro evaluation cycles and outsourcing of services to SIs .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Subscription revenue growth: “Subscription revenues continued to grow, up nine percent year over year… we remain confident in our ability to grow subscription fees and maintain strong margins.” — Allan Dow, President & CEO .
- Gross margin resilience: Total gross margin held at 65% YoY, supported by higher margins on license and stable maintenance margin, despite lower services revenue .
- Adjusted profitability improved: Adjusted net earnings rose to $3.8M ($0.11 per diluted share), and adjusted EBITDA was $3.8M, with recurring revenue representing 85% of Q2 revenue, underscoring mix stability .
What Went Wrong
- Services and maintenance softness: Professional services decreased 10% YoY and maintenance declined 13% YoY due to outsourcing to systems integrators, lower project work, and client conversions from on‑premise to cloud .
- Guidance cut on total revenue: Full‑year total revenue guidance was revised lower to $101–$105M, reflecting reduced professional services activity and delayed project starts, even as recurring revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance were maintained .
- Cash generation pressure: Six‑month operating cash flow was negative $7.3M (vs +$8.1M prior year), driven by higher securities purchases, lower deferred revenue, and timing effects; deferred revenue fell to $38.1M from $47.6M at fiscal‑year start .

Earnings Call Themes & Trends
(Company did not file a transcript in the document catalog; a webcast link was provided. We synthesized themes using the Q2 press release and 10‑Q commentary.)
Management Commentary
- “Subscription revenues continued to grow, up nine percent year over year… we are revising our revenue guidance to reflect the impact of lower professional services revenue. Our prior guidance for recurring revenue and adjusted EBITDA is unchanged…” — Allan Dow, President & CEO .
- Strategic rebrand: The company aligned corporate identity with its core product brand, changing the ticker to LGTY, reinforcing AI‑first supply chain planning positioning .
- Mix and margin: Gross margins remained solid (65%), supported by margin improvements in license and stable maintenance margins, even as services margin declined on lower utilization .
Q&A Highlights
- The company hosted a webcast for Q2 results (Nov 21, 2024) with replay access, but no transcript was filed in the catalog; key clarifications focused on delayed project starts, professional services outsourcing, and confidence in subscriptions/margins based on management remarks in the press release .
Estimates Context
- We attempted to fetch S&P Global consensus revenue and EPS for Q2 FY2025 but could not due to missing SPGI mapping for LGTY; therefore, consensus comparisons are unavailable (estimates N/A).
- Implication: Without consensus, market reaction hinges on the guidance reset (total revenue lowered) versus stable recurring and adjusted EBITDA ranges .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Recurring revenue durability and 65% GM provide a buffer against near‑term services softness; adjusted EBITDA guidance maintained suggests margin resilience despite lower services and maintenance .
- The revised total revenue guide to $101–$105M sets a lower bar; execution against delayed starts and SI‑outsourced services is the near‑term swing factor for top‑line trajectory .
- Subscription growth (+9% YoY) and 85% recurring mix reinforce the compounding effect of SaaS, with RPO at ~$120M and ~52% recognized within 12 months supporting forward revenue visibility .
- Watch utilization/PS margin recovery and maintenance attrition from on‑prem to cloud; improvements here drive incremental operating leverage beyond subscription growth .
- Liquidity remains strong ($84.2M cash & investments) with no debt; DSO improved to 61 days, offering flexibility through macro cycles and project timing variability .
- Brand strategy and AI differentiation (Demand AI+, Decision Command Center) plus industry recognitions may aid pipeline conversion as evaluation cycles normalize .
