Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
The earnings call reflects a mixed sentiment with notable achievements in cash flow, multi-year contracts, and AI leadership, yet significant challenges with revenue decline, government sector issues, and an impairment charge. The prolonged sales cycles also indicate ongoing external pressures.Company Guidance
During Forrester's first quarter 2025 earnings call, several key metrics and guidance were discussed. Despite challenges, the company reported positive free cash flow of $26.1 million and an operating margin that exceeded consensus, although total revenue decreased by 10% to $89.9 million. Forrester's contract value (CV) declined by 7%, with expectations for it to be flat or slightly down for the year. The company maintained guidance for 2025, projecting revenue between $400 million and $415 million, or a decline of 4% to 8% from 2024, and operating margins between 8% and 9%. Earnings per share (EPS) for the full year are expected to range from $1.20 to $1.35. The company highlighted ongoing economic volatility and government efficiency efforts as factors impacting performance, especially in the government sector, which constitutes less than 6% of total contract value. Despite these challenges, the sales pipeline has increased by 33% on a per-account executive basis, and the company is focusing on optimizing its go-to-market strategies and expanding its research capabilities, particularly in AI and cybersecurity.Healthy Cash Flow and Earnings Exceed Consensus
