Vertex, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERX), a prominent global provider of indirect tax solutions, has reported its financial performance for the third quarter ending September 30, 2024. The company’s President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairperson of the Board, David DeStefano, highlighted robust quarterly results, with revenues surpassing expectations and showing mid-teens organic growth.
During the quarter, Vertex completed the acquisition of Austrian e-invoicing and EDI company, ecosio, unveiling a global cloud platform enabling end-to-end workflow for determination, calculation, reporting, and compliance. Vertex anticipates a positive trajectory propelled by upcoming e-invoicing regulations and an anticipated supercycle of ERP conversions, fostering sustainable growth.
– Total revenues reaching $170.4 million, up by 17.5% year-over-year.
– Software subscription revenues climbing to $146.3 million, a 20.6% increase year-over-year.
– Cloud revenues surged to $71.0 million, reflecting a 29.9% rise year-over-year.
– Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) hit $576.8 million, up by 19.0% year-over-year, with notable contributions from Systax and ecosio acquisitions.

The company’s future outlook for the fourth quarter of 2024 includes estimated revenues of $175 million to $178 million and an anticipated Adjusted EBITDA ranging from $33 million to $37 million. For the full year 2024, Vertex expects revenues between $663.3 million and $666.3 million, aiming for a Cloud revenue growth of 29%, and targets an Adjusted EBITDA of $146.9 million to $150.9 million.
