E2open Announces Business Update and Provides Preliminary Financial Results

E2open (NYSE: ETWO), a leading network-based provider of 100% cloud-based, mission-critical, end-to-end supply chain management software, today updates guidance for fiscal year 2022, provides preliminary financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended February 28, 2021 and announces significant progress building new distribution channels through partnerships and expanding the enterprise sales team.

“We are proud of our strong execution throughout this challenging year, and we are pleased to report that we ended fiscal year 2021 with a solid quarter that positions us well for fiscal year 2022,” said Michael Farlekas, president and chief executive officer of E2open. “Our customers are increasingly recognizing the benefits of E2open’s supply chain operating platform, and we are thrilled to continue adding value to our existing and future customers with new strategic partnerships and an expanded salesforce.”

Mr. Farlekas continued, “Since closing our go-public transaction, we are encouraged by our ability to execute our organic growth plan and have continued confidence that the long-term revenue growth will be in excess of our 10% organic revenue growth target.”

Preliminary Fiscal Year 2021 Financial Results and Fiscal Year 2022 Revenue Guidance Update

E2open announces preliminary results for the fiscal year 2021, which ended on February 28, 2021. E2open expects fiscal year 2021 revenue to meet or exceed guidance of $335 million and expects Adjusted EBITDA to be modestly above the guidance provided during the Company's combination with CC Neuberger Principal Holdings I through an investor presentation filed with the SEC on January 8, 2021 and later updated and filed with the SEC on March 9, 2021.

For the fiscal year 2022 which began on March 1, 2021, we anticipate approximately 10% organic revenue growth within a range of $367 to $371 million, above the guidance provided in the investor presentation on January 8, 2021, given the Company’s continued business momentum.

The unaudited preliminary financial results represent the most current information available to the Company and are based on calculations or figures prepared internally, which have not been reviewed or audited by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from these unaudited preliminary financial results and non-GAAP adjustments due to the completion of its financial closing procedures and reviews.

New Strategic Partnership Additions

• Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. (NYSE: DNB), a leading global provider of business decisioning data and analytics, and E2open are collaborating on new data-driven solutions that will help businesses gain the real-time shipping and supply chain insights they need to better manage operational, compliance and credit risks. New initiatives include the use of D&B Analytics Studio, a cloud-based analytics platform that will combine Dun & Bradstreet’s Data Cloud of over 420 million global businesses and data science resources with E2open’s vast shipping and supply chain data to discover the ripple effect that global incidents such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic, Suez Canal blockage and semiconductor shortage can have on downstream production and global commerce.

• Maersk®, the largest container shipping line and vessel operator in the world and a long term E2open client, joined forces to create a new service offering, NeoNav. E2open solutions help power Maersk NeoNav™, which has already attracted multiple global manufacturers over a short time in market, further supporting the expansion of E2open’s market opportunity.

Maersk NeoNav is designed to integrate a wide range of information from various sources across customers’ supply chains, including their platforms and service providers, across both the digital and physical worlds. The platform will leverage Maersk’s entire portfolio of services to provide customers with actionable insights and a world class team to operate their complex global supply chains.

“E2open has also made great progress with our recently established new logo salesforce,” said Mr. Farlekas. “We have created a separate go-to-market organization that will focus solely on the development of new logos so that we can further expand the upsell and cross-sell motion which has been so successful to a growing number of logos each year. We expect the uptick in performance from this group to begin late in our 2022 fiscal year.”
