Revenue guidance

Category 2
  • LatentView aims to grow revenue from about $120 million currently to $200 million by FY '28, requiring close to 30% growth annually.
  • Growth will be driven by organic expansion and M&A, especially investments in AI/agentic technology companies and partnerships.
  • Financial services and consumer goods verticals are expected to grow faster, becoming larger shares of revenue.
  • Technology vertical may see slight contraction due to client-specific consolidation and reprioritization but expected to recover with AI infrastructure investments.
  • Renewals remain strong with price increases in key accounts, despite one large client consolidating work leading to a $5-6 million annualized revenue shortfall.
  • Databricks-related revenue is expected to grow from $16-17 million towards $50 million in a few years.
  • Investment in innovation, senior roles, and go-to-market efforts is planned to support growth.

Margin guidance

Category 4
  • LatentView targets achieving $200 million revenue by FY '28, up from about $120 million currently, implying strong growth.
  • The growth trajectory aimed is close to 30% annually to meet this $200 million goal.
  • EBITDA margins are expected to remain around 24%, with potential short-term pressure due to front-loaded investments.
  • EPS growth is anticipated to be strong, outpacing revenue growth due to operational leverage and tax benefits such as the ESOP exercise.
  • FY '26 adjusted EBITDA margin targeted near 24%, with Q4 margins expected around 24.5%-25%, aided by severance tailwinds and lower visa costs.
  • Renewals are generally strong, with pricing increases secured in key accounts, supporting stable future earnings.
  • Investments in AI, R&D, and M&A are expected to support sustainable long-term profit growth despite some margin expansion constraints.
