“Cornerstone OnDemand (CSOD): Posted better than expected Q2 results. While COVID-19 is lengthening the sales cycle, CSOD is focused on things within its control, such as the successful integration of Saba. CSOD now expects to exit 2020 with $65mm in run-rate synergies vs. initial expectations for $35mm within 24 months. CSOD plans to drive efficient growth by leveraging analytics to exclusively focus on highest probability win of success. Net debt/EBITDA is elevated at 4.3X after the acquisition, but CSOD has ample liquidity with $136mm in cash and $50mm available on its revolver.”
