ManH Reports 17 Percent Revenue Increase

October 29, 2013 Alex Woodie

Manhattan Associates brought in a total of nearly $108 million in revenue during the third quarter ended September 30, a 17 percent increase over the same quarter a year ago. The provider of supply chain and warehouse management software for IBM i and other platforms also recorded a 43 percent increase in net income, with more than $19 million profit.

“We’re pleased with our third quarter performance in a generally tepid macro environment,” Eddie Capel, Manhattan Associates’ president and CEO, said in a statement. “The financial results and operating metrics were solid and our competitive win rate remains strong.”

While total revenue increased substantially and set a new record for the developer of a preeminent IBM i-based WMS application, software license revenue actually declined from about $16.1 million to about $14.8 million. Revenue from services more than offset that decrease, as it went up from about $71.9 million during the third quarter of 2012 to $85 million this year.

Earnings increased substantially, from $.69 diluted EPS to $1.02. The publicly traded company was rewarded by traders who rushed into the stock, pushing its value up from about $95 before the earnings release last Tuesday to nearly $110, an all-time high for ManH. That is a substantial increase from early 2010, when ManH was trading around $25. Today the company’s market capitalization is more than $2 billion.

The company recorded several new software license deals during the quarter, which was marred by a slowdown in anticipation of the weeks-long federal government shutdown that began October 1. Among the new customers is Lululemon Athletica, which runs an IBM i-based merchandise management system (MMS). Manhattan Associates was unable to provide a breakdown of sales on IBM i versus those on other platforms.

CYBER-ATTACKS ON THE RISE. PROTECT WITH THE TRIPLE PLAY.

COVID-19 has not only caused a global pandemic, but has sparked a “cyber pandemic” as well.

“Cybersecurity experts predict that in 2021, there will be a cyber-attack incident every 11 seconds. This is nearly twice what it was in 2019 (every 19 seconds), and four times the rate five years ago (every 40 seconds in 2016). It is expected that cybercrime will cost the global economy $6.1 trillion annually, making it the third-largest economy in the world, right behind those of the United States and China.”1

Protecting an organization’s data is not a single-faceted approach, and companies need to do everything they can to both proactively prevent an attempted attack and reactively respond to a successful attack.

UCG Technologies’ VAULT400 subscription defends IBM i and Intel systems against cyber-attacks through comprehensive protection with the Triple Play Protection – Cloud Backup, DRaaS, & Enterprise Cybersecurity Training.

Cyber-attacks become more sophisticated every day. The dramatic rise of the remote workforce has accelerated this trend as cyber criminals aggressively target company employees with online social engineering attacks. It is crucial that employees have proper training on what NOT to click on. Cyber threats and social engineering are constantly evolving and UCG’s Enterprise Cybersecurity Training (powered by KnowBe4) is designed to educate employees on the current cutting-edge cyber-attacks and how to reduce and eliminate them.

A company is only as strong as its weakest link and prevention is just part of the story. Organizations need to have a quick response and actionable plan to implement should their data become compromised. This is the role of cloud backup and disaster-recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS).

Data is a company’s most valuable asset. UCG’s VAULT400 Cloud Backup provides 256-bit encrypted backups to two (2) remote locations for safe retrieval should a cyber-attack occur. This is a necessary component of any protection strategy. Whether a single click on a malicious link brings down the Windows environment or an infected SQL server feeds the IBM i, once the data is compromised, there is no going back unless you have your data readily available.

Recovery is not a trivial task, especially when you factor in the time sensitive nature of restoring from an active attack. This leads to the third play of the Triple Play Protection – DRaaS. Companies have myriad concerns once an attack is realized and a managed service disaster recovery allows employees to keep focus on running the business in a crisis state.

The combination of training employees with secure backup and disaster recovery offers companies the best chance at avoiding financial disruption in an age of stronger, more frequent cyber-attacks.
