2015 Q2 sales update



WANdisco Fusion brings record quarterly Big Data customer wins



Steps taken to improve sales focus



WANdisco (LSE: WAND), the leading provider of non-stop Big Data, reports on second quarter sales.





Highlights

· Revenue up 7% to $2.7m (Q2 2014: $2.5m)



· Sales bookings of $2.4m (Q2 2014: $3.4m)



· New Big Data product WANdisco Fusion brings eight Big Data customer wins and sales bookings of $1.0m



· Big Data sales integrated with key Hadoop platforms including Hortonworks, Cloudera and Oracle





Revenues were $2.7m (Q2 2014: $2.5m), up 7% on last year's second quarter, benefitting from the roll-out of deferred revenue from prior period sales bookings.



Sales bookings were $2.4m (Q2 2014: $3.4m). Big Data bookings increased compared with the previous quarter. During a period of rapid evolution in our products, partnerships and sales organisation we continue to expect volatility in quarterly bookings.



Costs were tightly controlled and were lower in the second quarter than in the first. Cost control will continue to be a focus throughout the rest of the year.





Big Data

Eight new Big Data customers - our highest ever - were added in the quarter, attracted by WANdisco Fusion in its first full quarter of sales. Big Data sales bookings were $1.0m (Q2 2014: $0.1m). Revenues rose to $0.5m (Q2 2014: $0.1m), reflecting the first significant revenues from previously booked sales.



Customer wins resulted from collaborations with Oracle, with partners from the Hadoop Open Data Platform including Hortonworks, and also from integrations with Cloudera customers.



New Big Data customers in the period, all of them large, global corporations, were drawn from all of our regions - EMEA, Americas and Asia-Pacific - and from a range of industries, most commonly financial services. All new customers from the quarter have intentions to scale up their subscriptions over time.



We continued the evolution of our new Big Data product, WANdisco Fusion, expanding its addressable market by enabling common data access across mixed Hadoop-compatible data storage providers, and adding support for more Hadoop analytics applications. During July we launched a free evaluation download version, and already prospective customers are evaluating the product by this means. Our first WANdisco Fusion customer went live during July, underlining the growing recognition of this product as essential for live production in mixed and evolving data storage environments.





Application Lifecycle Management ("ALM")

$1.4m of sales bookings in the quarter came from our ALM products, (Q2 2014: $3.3m). Renewals were strong, confirming that our products continue to meet the needs of today's distributed software development teams. Sales to new customers are taking time to regain momentum after the steps taken to sharpen our focus on the ALM market and increase the productivity of our sales operations.



ALM revenue was $2.2m (Q2 2014: $2.5m), benefitting from the roll-out of deferred revenue from prior period sales bookings.





David Richards, WANdisco Chief Executive Officer, comments:

"Our penetration of the Big Data market took a big step forward this quarter with a record eight contract wins and our first WANdisco Fusion customers starting to go into live production.



The recently launched WANdisco Fusion is gaining significant traction in the Big Data market. Our partners are increasingly viewing this product as crucial for their customers to go into production with new Big Data applications. We are working increasingly closely on go to market activities with selected partners such as Oracle and Hortonworks.



In ALM, the transition in our sales organisation impacted sales during the quarter. In this market, our offering remains highly relevant to today's increasingly distributed software development operations, and our live customer base of over 200 corporations offers ample sales opportunities."

This is just one of those shares that will perish to nothing.

Keep going WAN ........
... but you are going the wrong way



hlyeo98

re - perish

just be very careful on your comments " dreamer " is going to put you on the black list
100p is coming by the look of it, not only on the charting front but on the over valuation from the start
power to the people not the rampers say the "Tories" what?

what a stinker!
holds hands with BLUR

Back on early January 2015 valuation of over £300M when sales were £7.5M tells you all
33 times revenues was a bit over the top

now is only ( did I say only ) over 4 times ( historic ) and still big losses

One look at the chart in the OP above shows you just how 'hyped up' these stocks can become.

The story was all very mysterious and the technology seemed very necessary and about the only way all those big companies out there could manage 'Big Data'.

ie. The SP circa Dec 2013 was around £15 - and it's now around £1.

that is right if 500p was expensive imaging £15, but at that time there was not much revenues to go about to compare.

WANdisco (LON:WAND), up 15.3%. The Big Data software company is up 53.7% over the last five days and rose again this morning, despite no news emerging; however, earlier this week it was announced that OppenheimerFunds had upped its stake from 4mln shares to 4.64mln, equivalent to 15.68% of the company.

but from the bottom of the pit and on minuscule volume

Another 10% today. :-))

What down again?

Up Stan.
