Forward guidance
Q2-FY25 guidance anticipates continuing the solid start to the fiscal year, with the mid-point of guidance reflecting year-over-year growth in each of our key financial metrics and across our segments.
Tailwinds
- Expanded purchase programs in our RSCG segment are expected to increase its GMV and revenue, with revenue growing at a higher rate than GMV.
- Higher overall mix of lower-touch product flows improving RSCG's overall results.
- CAG project pipeline continues to be strong, especially in the heavy equipment and energy categories.
- GovDeals and Machinio segments are expected to continue their steady expansion of their client bases and service offerings to grow their revenues year-over-year.
- Consignment GMV is expected to continue to be approximately eighty percent of total GMV.
Headwinds
- CAG prior year comparable period reflected the completion of several international sales events that had been previously delayed last year.
- Consolidated revenues as a percentage of GMV is expected to be in the low thirty percent range.
- The total of our segment direct profits as a percentage of consolidated revenues is expected to be in the low forty percent range.
- These ratios can vary based on our overall business mix, including asset categories in any given period.
- The acquisition of Auction Software is not expected to have a significant impact on our results for the second fiscal quarter of 2025.
