Salesforce closes $27.7 billion acquisition of slack.

Software giant Salesforce ( CRM ) officially closed on its $27.7 billion record acquisition of messaging app Slack Technologies ( WORK ) on Wednesday, as the company bets big on a digital work-from-anywhere future.

"Together we'll define the future of enterprise software, creating the digital HQ that enables every organization to deliver customer and employee success from anywhere," Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said in a statement.

Slack's co-founder and CEO Stewart Butterfield, who will continue to lead the company, called the deal "a once-in-a-generation opportunity to rethink and reshape how and where we work."

"Salesforce and Slack are uniquely positioned to lead this historic shift to a digital-first world. I could not be more excited for what's to come," Butterfield added.

In December, Salesforce signed a definitive agreement to acquire the popular messaging software platform Slack Technologies in a cash and stock deal worth $27.7 billion , making it Salesforce's largest-ever acquisition. Last week, the Department of Justice told the company it closed its antitrust investigation of the deal, giving the green light for the transaction's close.

As companies debate the future of work post-COVID, Salesforce said companies learned last year that "if you don't have a digital way to connect with your employees, customers, and partners, you don't have much of a chance of surviving."

"Headquarters are no longer on Madison Avenue or Main Street—they are in the cloud. Every business—in every industry—has to optimize for a digital-first customer, employee, and partner experience," the company said in its announcement.

Shares of Salesforce were last trading up 0.14%, or 34 cents, near $240.45 in the pre-market. Shares of Salesforce are up 7.9% year-to-date.

Salesforce beats growth expectations as investors digest the Slack acquisition

Today after the bell, Salesforce reported its third-quarter earnings for its fiscal 2021, a period that ended October 31, 2020. The CRM giant reported top-line revenue of $5.42 billion, up 20% from the year-ago period. Salesforce also had net income of $1.08 billion and earnings per share of $1.15.

Analysts had expected the company to earn $0.75 per share off revenues of $5.25 billion, according to Yahoo Finance .

Shares of Salesforce were off after-hours, falling around 3.6% at the time of writing. It was not clear if the company’s share price performance was due to its Q3 results, or its raised Q4 guidance, or its new fiscal 2022 expectations, or the newly announced Slack deal.

Salesforce buys Slack in a $27.7B megadeal

As TechCrunch reported moments ago , Salesforce will buy Slack for $27.7 billion in a cash and stock deal that was fully priced into shares of the smaller company, which dropped a little over a point on the news, having risen by nearly 50% since the deal’s existence first leaked.

Holders of Slack will be rewarded for their patience. Now it’s up to Salesforce leadership to prove that the huge buy will help boost the company’s growth.

Salesforce told investors today that it anticipates Q4 fiscal 2021 revenues of $5.665 billion to $5.675 billion, which works out to growth of around 17% from the year-ago period. The company also anticipates that it will grow around 17% in Q1 of its fiscal 2022.

But Salesforce expects to grow 21% in all of its fiscal 2022. How does it intend to accelerate? Its projections include Slack:

Full Year FY22 revenue guidance includes contributions from Slack Technologies, Inc. of approximately $600 million, net of purchase accounting, and assumes a closing date in late Q2 and Acumen Solutions, Inc. of approximately $150 million, net of purchase accounting, and assumes a closing date within Q2.

So, Salesforce investors, after two anticipated quarters of 17% growth coming up, your company will accelerate up to 21% growth for the next fiscal year. Is that worth $27.7 billion?

Slack is our 'most strategic' acquisition to-date – salesforce CFO

Salesforce.com inc. President and CFO Mark Hawkins on Dec. 2 defended the company's nearly $28 billion pending purchase of Slack Technologies Inc. — salesforce's largest acquisition to date — as necessary to keep pace with the rapidly evolving business landscape.

Speaking at an industry event, Hawkins said the acquisition of business communications platform Slack would provide a new growth engine for salesforce, bolstering its competitive position by allowing it to offer more-advanced digital tools to its customers. Salesforce on Dec. 1 announced an agreement to buy Slack in a $27.7 billion stock-and-cash transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, Slack shareholders will receive $26.79 in cash and 0.0776 share of Salesforce common stock for each Slack share.

"I don't know how many people play hockey, but you don't follow where the puck is, you go to where the puck is going to be, if you want to be great," Hawkins said at the Dec. 2 event. "That's what we want to do [with the Slack acquisition]. And in some ways, we think that this is arguably the most strategic acquisition we've ever done."

Salesforce has made several other large acquisitions in recent years — including its $17.38 billion acquisition for data-visualization platform Tableau Software Inc. in 2019 and its $6.81 billion buy of open-source firm MuleSoft Inc. in 2018.

The Slack transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of salesforce's fiscal year 2022, which ends in July 2021. The closing is subject to approval by Slack stockholders, as well as required regulatory approvals and other customary conditions. Upon the close of the transaction, Slack will become an operating unit of salesforce and will continue to be led by CEO Stewart Butterfield.

Hawkins is slated to retire from his role, effective Jan. 31, 2021, and will be replaced by Amy Weaver, salesforce's president and chief legal officer, on Feb. 1.

Salesforce Stock in Focus After Reports Company in Advanced Talks to Acquire Informatica

Monitor This Key Chart Level

Key Takeaways

• Salesforce shares will be in focus Monday after The Wall Street Journal reported the customer management software maker is in advanced talks to buy data-management software provider Informatica.
• The discussed deal price is below Informatica’s Friday closing price of $38.48, potentially complicating a transaction, people familiar with the matter told the Journal .
• The Salesforce share price finds support around $252 from a multi-month trendline and the rising 200-day moving average.

Shares in Salesforce ( CRM ) will be in focus Monday after a report late Friday that the customer relationship management software maker is in advanced discussions to acquire data-management software provider Informatica ( INFA ).

One potential roadblock to a transaction getting across the line surrounds the price being discussed, which is below Informatica’s Friday closing price of $38.48, people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal , which first reported the story Friday evening. Informatica’s shares have gained 43% so far this year, valuing the company at around $11.36 billion.

A tie-up between the two companies would allow Salesforce to incorporate Informatica’s range of recently launched artificial intelligence (AI) tools into its suit of client relationship products and gain access to its 5,000 active customers that include consumer goods giant Unilever ( UL ), leading automaker Toyota ( TM ), and Big Four accounting firm Deloitte.

If a deal takes place, it would be Salesforce’s largest since it acquired workplace collaboration app Slack Technologies for $28 billion during the pandemic work-from-home boom in 2021. Prior to that transaction, the cloud software maker purchased data analytics platform Tableau Software in 2019 for $15.7 billion in an all-stock deal.

The company’s penchant for dealmaking came under scrutiny last year from activist investors, including ValueAct Capital and Elliot Management, leading it to disband its mergers and acquisitions (M&A) committee, introduce cost-cutting measures, and focus on profitability.

Technology deals accounted for the lion’s share of M&A activity in the first quarter, with transactions in the group jumping 42% from a year earlier to around $154 billion, fuelled by widespread enterprise AI adoption.

Since climbing to its record close in late February, the Salesforce share price has consolidated within a descending triangle —a chart pattern that technical analysts often interpret as preceding a move lower. If a breakdown from the triangle eventuates, investors should keep an eye on the $252 level, an area where the stock is likely to find buying support from a multi-month trendline and the rising 200-day moving average . However, a breakout above the pattern to a new all-time high (ATH) on above-average volume would likely see a continuation of the longer-term uptrend.

Salesforce shares finished last week at $294.32 and have gained about 50% over the past 12 months.

• Over 950,000 connected endpoints on Slack Connect, up over 265% year-over-year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

This press release and the accompanying tables contain the following non-GAAP financial measures: Calculated Billings, Free Cash Flow, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP research and development expenses, non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share. Certain of these non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation and related employer payroll taxes, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, and amortization of intangible assets.

Slack believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Slack’s financial condition and results of operations. Slack’s management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare Slack’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analysis, and for budgeting and planning purposes. Slack 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 and in comparing Slack’s financial measures with other software companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Slack’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Slack urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which it includes in press releases announcing quarterly financial results, including this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Slack’s business.

Reconciliation tables of the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are included with the financial tables at the end of this release.

Forward-Looking Statements: This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to, statements regarding our product development, business strategy and plans, market trends, and positioning. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date they were first issued and were based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections as well as the beliefs and assumptions of management.

Salesforce's stock sinks as report of talks to buy Informatica raises concerns

By Tomi Kilgore

Bernstein analyst says buying Informatica would mark a pivot for Salesforce away from focus on margins

Shares of Salesforce Inc. were having their worst day in 16 months on Monday, as a report that the business software giant was in advanced talks to buy data-management-software company Informatica Inc. raised margin concerns.

The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the deal, that a potential sticking point to the talks was that the price being discussed was below Friday's closing price for Informatica's stock (INFA) of $38.48, after it ran up more than 30% in the past few months in anticipation of a deal.

Informatica's stock shed 7.7% in morning trades. Based on the number of shares outstanding as of Feb. 14, the company's market capitalization was about $10.5 billion.

While the WSJ report didn't indicate whether the deal would be for cash, stock, or a combination of both, Salesforce's stock (CRM) took a 5.4% hit, to be the S&P 500 index's SPX biggest decliner. It was also headed for the biggest one-day selloff since it shed 7.4% on Dec. 5, 2022.

The deal would mark Salesforce's biggest since its deal to buy Slack Technologies for $27.7 billion closed in July 2021.

Bernstein analyst Mark Moerdler expressed some concern about the deal, given it would mean Salesforce would be pivoting away from what has propelled the stock over the past year.

Read: Salesforce's stock led the Dow last year. Why more gains could be in store.

"That does not mean the acquisition would necessarily be bad, but it would likely be both a departure from the company's focus on margins and a continuing transition away from the company's core in sales force automation," Moerdler wrote in a note to clients.

He noted that Informatica's gross margin of about 79% last year would present a big issue, "but their operating margin of 5.9% would."

CFRA's Angelo Zino reiterated his strong buy rating on Salesforce's stock, but said he had "mixed thoughts" on the potential deal as it would mean Salesforce has shifted its emphasis to growing revenue, and away from maximizing profitability.

"Overall, the speculation of a deal does add uncertainty about strategic motives and could frustrate investors who saw CRM overpay for prior deals (e.g., Slack in 2021), weighing on shares near term," Zino said.

Salesforce's stock has run up 43% over the past 12 months, while Informatica shares have soared 124% and the S&P 500 has gained 24%.

Salesforce stock sinks 7% because investors don't like a deal to buy Informatica

It would be salesforce's largest deal since it acquired slack.

Cloud-based software company Salesforce is in advanced discussions to acquire the data-management software maker Informatica, according to a new report. The news sent both Salesforce stock and Informatica shares down Monday.

Salesforce stock closed down 7.3%. Informatica stock lost 6.5%.

There is a possibility of a deal at a price below Informatica’s Friday closing of $38.48 per share, The Wall Street Journal reports. Salesforce has acquired more than 70 companies since 2006. If Salesforce acquires Informatica, which has a market capitalization of about $11 billion, it would be its biggest acquisition since its $28 billion purchase of Slack Technologies in 2021, The Journal reports.

As a cloud-based software company, Salesforce helps sales staff manage customer relationships, while Informatica allows companies to manage their data across cloud and on-premises systems for better analysis.

Like a lot of big tech companies, Salesforce also wants to bet on artificial intelligence. Earlier this year, Salesforce delivered two major releases: Einstein Copilot , a generative AI assistant for CRM released in February, and Einstein 1 Studio , a set of tools that allow developers to customize Einstein Copilot released in March.

Likewise, Informatica launched new tools last year that allow companies to manage their data using artificial intelligence.
