E2open CEO Michael Farlekas said, “Due to our strong performance and accelerating momentum in the first half of our fiscal 2022, we are reaffirming our revenue guidance which we raised on September 1^st. We also acquired BluJay Solutions and we are excited to share our combined capabilities with our customers and welcome BluJay’s talented team to E2open.”

Total adjusted revenue in Fiscal 2022 is expected to be in the range of $470 million to $474 million, reflecting a more than 10% growth rate. Also, adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be between $161 million and $163 million, up from the prior guidance of $158 million provided during the BluJay transaction announcement.

Notably, total synergies related to the recent BluJay combination are likely to be $25 million compared to the $20 million announced previously. The company expects to achieve between 50 to 60% run-rate savings by the end of Fiscal 2022. (See Insiders’ Hot Stocks on TipRanks)
