“PROS is a leading provider of artificial intelligence-powered solutions that help companies price, configure and sell their products within the digital economy. During the second quarter, PROS continued to be negatively impacted by the pandemic, including some lengthening of sales cycles as enterprise buyers increased their scrutiny of potential new product acquisitions. PROS’ high exposure to the travel segment has made this impact more acute compared to other software companies, and PROS has provided some forms of financial relief for its most-impacted customers. More positively. PROS has noted that its pipeline for its B2B offerings remains strong as the pandemic is accelerating modernization of B2B ecommerce. We believe that the headwinds to the travel segment are transitory and PROS’ ability to drive long-term customer value in multiple end markets is attractive.”
