Shares of Anaplan (NYSE: PLAN) dropped by 23% on Wednesday morning after the company reported its fiscal third-quarter results. The cloud platform for worker connectivity and performance was down around 17.5% as of 12:16 .m. ET.
This cloud-based business performance software platform provider Anaplan saw its stock plummet more than 20% in premarket trading. The company’s third-quarter financial results showed further losses amid steady growth in sales.
Anaplan’s numbers told a similar story to what we’ve seen from many companies in the cloud computing space. Total revenue jumped 35% year over year to $155.3 million, with subscription-based revenue climbing at a slightly slower 33% annual pace. An adjusted loss of $0.05 per share was flat compared to year-ago levels.
Yet even though Anaplan boosted its revenue guidance for the full year, investors seemed more worried about disappearing sequential growth. The company now believes it will see sales come in between $583.5 million and $584.5 million, up from its previous range of $571.5 million to $573.5 million. However, total revenue projections for the fourth quarter of $154 million to $155 million would actually be down slightly from third-quarter levels.
