Quotient Announces Certain Preliminary Unaudited Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2018 Financial Results

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.”
