On FY basis, the company forecasts adjusted earnings of between $1.38 per share to about $1.40 per share on $780.5 to $782.5 million revenue. Again, this topped the $1.23 per share on a $770.2 million revenue analyst estimate.

Analyst comments and estimates 

Matt VanVlient, an analyst at BTIG, wrote:

While management again provided “very prudent” guidance of 28% growth in 3Q and FY22 given the macro uncertainty, this was coupled with very positive pipeline commentary and assurance of >30% enterprise growth for the next several years.

VanVlient claimed that they remain confident Five9 will continue to beat analyst expectations and continue to provide excellent fundamentals in the industry.

Mr McGinnis, an analyst at UBS, said the company provided in-line financial results, which somewhat translates into a win in this type of market environment.

McGinnis said:

While this appeared more in-line with expectations heading into earnings season, we view these results as relatively strong since many others in software have disappointed with weaker performances/guides. This is consistent with recent checks, who were more constructive on CCaaS demand than others in the front-office/communications space.
