For the third quarter, EverCommerce saw earnings per share of $0.03 -- which was in line with Wall Street's forecast. Meanwhile, sales for the period came in at $147.5 million -- coming up roughly $0.45 million short compared to the average analyst estimate. With sales declining roughly 16% year over year and arriving weaker than already soft expectations, the stock is seeing a big pullback today.
On the heels of its Q3 report, EverCommerce is guiding for full-year sales to be between $584 million and $592 million. Meanwhile, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) is projected to come in between $174.5 million and $179 million.
While the company's adjusted EBITDA guidance represents an improvement over its previous target for adjusted EBITDA to be between $171 million and $177 million, the new sales guidance is a step down from its previous forecast for annual revenue to be between $581 million and $601 million. EverCommerce's sales outlook has continued to weaken, and improvements for adjusted EBITDA won't mean much over the long term unless the business can reenergize its sales engine.
