E2open Announces Fiscal 2026 First Quarter Financial Results
Q1-FY26 GAAP subscription revenue of $132.9 million, above high end of Q1 guidance range
Continued strong cash generation in Q1-FY26
DALLAS – July 10, 2025 – E2open Parent Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ETWO) (“e2open” or the “Company”), the connected supply chain SaaS platform with the largest multi-enterprise network, today announced financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended May 31, 2025.
“Our first quarter results demonstrate that our core business continues to strengthen and underscore the progress we have made in putting e2open back on a sustainable growth path,” said Andrew Appel, e2open chief executive officer. “Our entire e2open team remains focused on client satisfaction and retention, flawless delivery of our products, and value-added innovation. These efforts came to fruition in Q1 as we returned to year-over-year subscription revenue growth. I believe e2open is well positioned for the next chapter in the company’s development, which is our pending acquisition by WiseTech Global as announced in late May. Our e2open team is excited by the opportunity to partner with WiseTech in bringing industry-leading supply chain management capabilities to our many clients.”
“In Q1 FY26, e2open delivered subscription revenue above the high end of our guidance, marking our first year-over-year subscription revenue growth since mid-FY24. We also continued our trend of strong adjusted EBITDA and cash flow,” said Marje Armstrong, chief financial officer of e2open. “We are confirming all elements of our full-year guidance issued last quarter and want to thank all our employees for their support and dedication as we move forward with the WiseTech transaction, which we expect to close by the end of this calendar year.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) including non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP subscription revenue, non-GAAP professional services and other revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP gross profit, adjusted net income, non-GAAP gross margin, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted earnings per share. These non-GAAP financial measures are not a measure of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to revenue, net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity, or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures.
NOTE: E2open is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for non-GAAP gross profit margin, adjusted EBITD, or adjusted EBITDA margin without unreasonable effort, and therefore no reconciliation of certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures for non-GAAP gross profit margin, adjusted EBITDA, or adjusted EBITDA margin is included.
