Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call highlighted significant growth in Gen AI engagements and increased gross margins, driven by the differentiated AI platforms. However, challenges remain in the Oracle Solutions segment and certain practices, alongside increased SG&A expenses and a notable decrease in GAAP net income.Company Guidance
In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, The Hackett Group reported revenues of $77.9 million, a 1% increase from the previous year, with revenues before reimbursements reaching $76.2 million, aligning with their quarterly guidance. The company's Global S&BT segment grew by 6%, driven by strong performance in their Gen AI consulting and implementation services, although this was offset by weaknesses in their OneStream and e-procurement practices. Excluding these practices, the segment's growth would have been 13%. The adjusted gross margin improved to 43.4% compared to 41.4% the previous year, largely due to higher-margin Gen AI engagements. The company anticipates continued demand for Gen AI solutions, expecting the segment to play a significant role in their strategic growth. However, both the Oracle and SAP Solutions segments saw revenue declines of 3% and 8%, respectively, due to winding down large engagements and strong prior year comparisons. For the second quarter, Hackett projects revenue before reimbursements to be between $76 million and $77.5 million, with adjusted net income per share estimated to fall within $0.37 to $0.39. The firm continues to invest in Gen AI capabilities, and plans to repurchase shares and maintain a dividend payout, despite an increase in days sales outstanding to 73 days due to extended terms on large client engagements.Strong Revenue Growth Driven by Gen AI
Revenues before reimbursements were $76.2 million, at the high end of quarterly guidance, driven by strong performance in the DSBT segment, particularly due to Gen AI engagements which resulted in a 6% increase in the GSBT segment.
Gen AI Platform Differentiation
The Gen AI engagements favorably impacted gross margin, which increased to 43.4% due to higher margin Gen AI consulting and implementation revenue. The AI Explorer and ZBrain platforms are highlighted as key differentiators in the market.
Increasing Demand for SAP Solutions
Despite a decrease in the SAP Solutions segment by 8%, there is increasing demand for the market-leading life sciences group, which bodes well for future revenue growth.
Expansion of Gen AI Capabilities
The company expanded its Gen AI practices with a 60-70% increase in implementation capacity and strategic partnerships, including a joint venture with ZBrain.
