\n Informatica
\n \u2018s second-quarter financial results edged guidance, but the company took a somewhat conservative approach by keeping its full-year revenue forecast in place.<\/p>\n

In late trading Wednesday, Informatica shares were 4.5% higher, trading at $19.20 each. <\/p>\n

\n

Informatica (ticker: INFA), which provides cloud data management software, reported second-quarter revenue of $376 million, up 1% from the year earlier quarter. Its top line surpassed both the company\u2019s guidance range of $355 million to $365 million and the Wall Street consensus forecast at $360.6 million. On an adjusted basis, Informatica earned 17 cents a share in the quarter, a nickel above Street consensus. Under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the company lost 53 cents a share in the quarter.<\/p>\n

\u201cQ2 was a clean beat,\u201d CEO Amit Walia said in an interview with Barron\u2019s.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Looking forward, Walia sees Informatica as a significant beneficiary of the generative artificial intelligence trend. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no AI without data,\u201d he says. Walia notes that the company\u2019s business\u2014creating a holistic view of corporate data, while ensuring data quality and adding data privacy controls\u2014is crucial to companies building out large language models. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe stuff we do becomes more important,\u201d he says. \u201cWe could not be more excited. For us, it\u2019s a tailwind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Informatica\u2019s results can be a little messy: The company is going through a business model transition, moving to a cloud-focused approach and away from its traditional on-premise approach. That shift always results in slower top-line growth because of the accounting rules on revenue recognition\u2014Walia says that\u2019s why analysts and investors tend to focus more on the growth of annualized recurring revenue, or ARR.<\/p>\n

Informatica said subscription-based ARR was $1.04 billion, up 16% from a year ago, and slightly above its forecast of $1.02 billion to $1.03 billion. Cloud subscription ARR was $513 million, up 37%, and above the company\u2019s forecast of $501 million to $507 million.<\/p>\n

For the September quarter, Informatica sees overall revenue of $395 million to $405 million. At the midpoint, that\u2019s a little below the Street consensus of $403.3 million, but still represents growth of 8%. The company sees subscription ARR of $1.05 billion to $1.06 billion for the period, up 13%, with cloud subscription ARR of $537 million to $543 million, a 35% increase.<\/p>\n

For all of 2023, the company continues to see revenue of $1.57 billion to $1.59 billion, a 5% increase at the midpoint of the range. But Informatica increased its forecast for full-year non-GAAP operating income to a range of $420 million to $440 million, from a previous estimate of $400 million to $420 million. The company also raised its adjusted free cash flow forecast to between $370 million and $390 million, from $340 million to $360 million previously.<\/p>\n

No doubt some investors will be disappointed that the company isn\u2019t increasing its full-year revenue forecast. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to make sure we are not getting ahead of ourselves,\u201d Walia said. \u201cEnterprise spending still remains cautious. This allows us to de-risk the guidance for the second half.\u201d<\/p>\n

Informatica shares are 13% higher so far this year. <\/p>\n
