Customers looking for greater collaboration and hybrid working is fuelling rising interest in unified communications (UC), which should put the technology at the top of the channel agenda.

TelcoSwitch is urging more partners to join the dots and recognise that there is strong demand for unified comms as a service (UCaaS).

Now is the time for the channel to get a firm grip on UCaaS and position themselves to be seen by customers as the source of expertise on the technology and hybrid working strategy.

Sam Giggle, head of sales at TelcoSwitch, said the channel needed to take advantage of current market conditions.

“The channel is experiencing a unique period and the opportunities for growth are immense. The demand for UCaaS solutions is clear to see, with TrustRadius research reporting that 67% of companies increased spending on communications in 2021 to ensure video conferencing was included,” he said.

“The UK collaboration software market is expected to grow from £691m to almost £1bn over the next five years. This growth represents a significant opportunity to join a UCaaS marketplace where cloud-based collaboration solutions continue to gain popularity,” he added.

Giggle said those with the right knowledge could develop a customer relationship that would last through the sales cycle.

“The ability to act as consultants from pre-sales through to implementation and in-life service management is priceless, especially when combined with other managed services. We have seen over 30% growth in our partner base for back-to-back years since the start of 2020, so clearly this fact is not lost on UK channel businesses,” he said.

Those in the channel looking for a good return on investment in skills and UCaaS should note the analyst numbers around the market. The expectations are that demand will only grow further, with Global Market Insights reporting that the video conferencing market will break through the $50bn mark by 2026.

“Understanding your customers is critical to choosing your solutions and how you approach the market. Simple questions such as, ‘Does your business have a single site or do you have offices in multiple locations across the UK, or even internationally?’ can be a great way to start building a comprehensive picture of the complexities of that customer’s operations, including their existing technology investments and day-to-day service expectations. This helps foster that relationship by building confidence in your understanding of their needs,” said Giggle.

“Collaboration tools and video conferencing software are very much front of mind for business leaders looking to enhance efficiency. Now is a great time for channel organisations to embrace UCaaS and see the benefits in the months and years to come,” he added.

Most also expect hybrid working to remain a permanent feature, with firms and staff unlikely to go back to a Monday to Friday, nine to five operation.

Speaking at the latest launch of its partnership with RingCentral to boost video meeting experiences, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprises’ head of the Rainbow Office business unit, Laure Timperman, stated: “It’s clear that remote and hybrid working is here to stay.”

Sahil Rekhi, vice-president of global srategic partnerships at RingCentral, said: “Our focus is on helping organisations to support their people working from anywhere.”

Microsoft is introducing the Microsoft Digital Contact Center Platform, an open, extensible, and collaborative contact center solution designed to deliver seamless customer journeys.

With the Microsoft Digital Contact Center Platform, contact centers are equipped with modern digital tools to engage customers across voice, video, and other digital engagement channels—powered by Microsoft Dynamics 365, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Power Platform, and the existing member of the Microsoft family, Nuance.

Companies and Suppliers Mentioned

Three swoop like eagles, two float like butterflies and four are loyal and hard-working like dogs.

We are of course referring to the beasts picked by the 34 top UK channel leaders featured in the latest CRN Vendor Power list when we asked them to nominate their spirit animal.

Of the 32 who were game enough to answer the question, the highest number - four - picked the faithful dog, closely followed by the lion and eagle with three picks each.

Juniper's Dale Smith was among the channel leaders and who felt they are the human embodiment of the latter, pointing to the networking vendors channel programme for evidence.

"Interestingly from a Juniper point of view, our Champions programme has four animals that illustrate the four types of partner roles: the Lion is the technical champion; the wolf is the sales hunter, the fox is the marketing champion, and the eagle is the channel champion. With that in mind, I would put myself as an eagle," he said.

Avaya's Ali Hastings (pictured above) made one of the quirkier choices, likening herself to the chameleon.

"Somebody once told me I can change my persona to mirror the moment/individual etc…not sure if this a compliment," she confessed.

Fujitsu's Paul McLean was one of three spiritual lions, meanwhile

"The lion represents courage in the face of difficulties and strength in overcoming challenges," he explained.

Adding in the choices of their EMEA counterparts featured in the Channel Partner Insight Vendor Power list, horse came out on top with seven picks, with lion (six), dolphin (four) and dog (four) rounding out the top four.

Westcon-Comstor is shuffling its senior UK management team, ushering in a fresh managing director as part of the changes.

The distributor’s existing UK boss Anthony Byford is moving into a role as vice-president in a newly formed clouded collaboration business division, leaving a UK and Ireland managing director vacancy that is being filled by John Nolan.

Nolan is a veteran at the distie, with a career that spans more than 17 years (see box), with spells in various parts of the business.

“I’ve witnessed major shifts in technology adoption and the impacts on the channel during my 17-year tenure at Westcon-Comstor. The single constant throughout this time has been the difference an experienced distributor like Westcon can make when helping partners navigate those market shifts while maintaining high service levels,” he said.

“Today, the role of a distributor is even more critical, as we help our partners identify growth opportunities, expand their skills, and ultimately build revenues for success. The beauty of distribution is when you build close relationships with your partners and get to watch our enablement make real, positive impact in that partner’s business.

“We have a unique view of the market, and I look forward to utilising that to help our UK and Ireland partner community. I’m certain that the next five years is set to bring about even more success,” he added.

Nolan was seen as an ideal choice given his extensive experience with the company, its vendors and partners. His promotion was also seen as evidence that the business rewarded those that worked hard to develop their skills.

“John has been part of our UK&I team since 2005, working his way up the ladder in impressive fashion,” said David Grant, CEO of Westcon-Comstor. “He’s been a great support to Antony and they’ve worked brilliantly together, growing the Westcon UK&I business over 50% in the past four years.

“I have complete confidence in John, his understanding of the market and ability to act accordingly is second to none. I’m very optimistic about the outlook for the UK&I in his hands. It’s a very competitive and demanding market, but John is absolutely the right leader to continue to drive our success,” he added.

Second Quarter Results

The Company reports revenues of $861 million for the second quarter of 2022, a 4% increase as reported and 6.5% organically, driven by Companion Animal Group ("CAG") Diagnostics recurring revenue growth of 4% reported and 7% organic compared to strong prior year performance. Continued solid companion animal sector demand and benefits from IDEXX execution drove premium instrument placements 18% higher than the prior year period, supporting CAG Diagnostics capital instrument revenue growth of 3% as reported and 8% organic. Continued strong momentum in cloud-based software placements supported veterinary software, services and diagnostic imaging systems revenue growth of 27% as reported and 14% organically. Overall revenue gains in the quarter were also supported by Water revenue growth of 5% reported and 9% organic.

Second quarter earnings per diluted share ("EPS") were $1.56, decreasing 33% as reported and 30% on a comparable basis compared to strong prior year profit levels, reflecting impacts from $80 million of discrete R&D investment in the quarter and operating expense growth related to investments in commercial capabilities. EPS results included $0.06 per share negative impact from currency changes and $0.03 per share in tax benefits from share-based compensation.

"Building on strong prior year gains, IDEXX drove continued solid organic growth in the second quarter," said Jay Mazelsky, President and Chief Executive Officer. "I am especially pleased with the strong execution of our global teams resulting in record premium instrument placements and cloud- based practice management software adoption. IDEXX innovations have never been more important in helping veterinary clinics manage through capacity challenges and to achieve outstanding care for their patients."

Companion Animal Diagnostics Trends Update

Continued growth in demand for companion animal healthcare supported solid gains in CAG diagnostic products and services, compared to strong prior year demand levels. Average diagnostics revenues grew 6% at U.S. veterinary practices on a same-store basis in the second quarter, ahead of 3% growth in overall clinic revenues, reflecting continued expansion of demand for pet healthcare services. U.S. same-store clinical visits at veterinary practices declined 3% in the second quarter compared to prior year period clinical visit growth of 13%, which included benefits from increases in new pet ownership during the COVID-19 pandemic. Growth for pet healthcare including diagnostics has increased significantly from pre-pandemic levels reflecting compound annual growth of 2% in clinical visits and 10% in same-store diagnostics revenues for the U.S. compared to the second quarter of 2019.

Additional U.S. companion animal practice key metrics are available in the Q2 2022 Earnings Snapshot accessible on the IDEXX website, www.idexx.com/investors.

Second Quarter Performance Highlights

Companion Animal Group

The Companion Animal Group generated revenue growth of 5% reported and 7% organically for the quarter, supported by CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue growth of 4% on a reported basis and 7% organically. Solid growth was achieved across IDEXX's major modalities, building off high gains in the prior year period. Overall CAG revenue growth included CAG Diagnostics capital instrument revenue growth of 3% reported and 8% organic, reflecting record second quarter premium instrument placements.

• IDEXX VetLab^® consumables generated 4% reported and 8% organic revenue growth, with gains across U.S. and international regions supported by expansion of our global premium instrument installed base, benefits from net price gains and high customer retention levels.

• Reference laboratory diagnostic and consulting services generated 4% reported and 6% organic revenue growth driven by strong gains in the U.S., offset by flat organic revenue growth in international regions compared to strong prior year levels. Revenue growth reflects benefits from strong customer retention, new business gains and net price improvement.

• Rapid assay products revenues grew 4% as reported and 6% organically, supported by continued solid volume growth in the U.S. and net price gains.

Veterinary software, services and diagnostic imaging systems revenues grew 27% as reported and 14% organically, supported by double-digit organic gains in recurring software and digital imaging revenues. Reported growth includes benefits from ezyVet^®, acquired during the second quarter of 2021, which continues to show strong momentum in customer gains.

Water

Water revenues grew 5% on a reported basis and 9% on an organic basis for the quarter, reflecting solid volume growth across U.S. and international regions and benefits from net price gains.

Livestock, Poultry and Dairy ("LPD")

LPD revenues declined 11% as reported and 5% on an organic basis for the quarter, reflecting comparisons to high prior year revenue levels of African Swine Fever and core Swine testing in China. This impact was partially offset by moderate overall organic revenue gains in other areas of the LPD business. Comparisons to high revenue levels for African Swine Fever testing are expected to Boost in the second half of 2022.

Gross Profit and Operating Profit

Gross profits increased 5% as reported and 7% on a comparable basis. Gross margin of 59.7% increased 50 basis points as reported and was flat on a comparable basis. Benefits from net price gains, lab productivity initiatives and improvement in software service gross margins offset select inflationary effects and impacts from lower LPD revenues.

Operating margin was 20.8% in the quarter, 1,060 basis points lower than the prior year as reported and 1,050 basis points lower on a comparable basis, driven by year-over-year operating expense growth of 46% as reported and 48% on a comparable basis. Operating expense includes a 35% growth impact and a 900 basis point operating margin impact related to $80 million in discrete R&D investments and reflects increased investments supporting global commercial capabilities, higher travel costs and inflationary impacts.

2022 Growth and Financial Performance Outlook

The Company is updating its full year revenue growth outlook to 3% - 5.5% as reported and 5.5% - 8% organically, a reduction in the projected full year revenue growth range of 250 basis points and 200 basis points, respectively. This outlook range includes projected full year CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue growth of 4% - 6% as reported and 6.5% - 9% organic, supported by continued benefits from strong IDEXX execution including additional second half price gains. The updated outlook also incorporates expectations for continued near-term pressure on veterinary clinical visits from factors including constraints on vet clinic capacity, lapping of new patient step-up benefits, as well as additional potential growth impacts related to macroeconomic risk.

The Company now projects full year operating margins of 26.4% - 26.9%, reflecting ~50 basis points of net operating margin impact related to updated revenue growth estimates.

The Company's EPS outlook of $7.77 - $8.05 reflects an adjustment of $0.32 at midpoint, including $0.05 of negative impact from higher projected interest rates and $0.03 of negative impact related to the strengthening U.S. dollar.

We estimated the net impacts of currency on our revenue, gross profit, operating profit, and EPS results by restating results to the average exchange rates or exchange rate assumptions for the comparative period, which includes adjusting for the estimated impacts of foreign currency hedging transactions and certain impacts on our effective tax rates. These estimated currency changes impacted second quarter 2022 results as follows: decreased gross profit growth by 2%, increased gross margin growth by 50 basis points, decreased operating expense growth by 2%, decreased operating profit growth by 2%, decreased operating profit margin growth by 10 basis points, and decreased EPS growth by 2%. Constant currency revenue growth represents the percentage change in revenue during the applicable period, as compared to the prior year period, excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. See the supplementary analysis of results below for revenue percentage change from currency for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and refer to the 2022 Growth and Financial Performance Outlook section of this earnings release for estimated foreign currency exchange rate impacts on 2022 projections and estimates.

Growth and organic revenue growth - All references to growth and organic growth refer to growth compared to the equivalent prior year period unless specifically noted. Organic revenue growth is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, certain business acquisitions, and divestitures. Management believes that reporting organic revenue growth provides useful information to investors by facilitating easier comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to the performance of our peers. Organic revenue growth should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement of or a superior measure to, revenue growth reported in accordance with GAAP. See the supplementary analysis of results below for a reconciliation of reported revenue growth to organic revenue growth for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022. Please refer to the 2022 Growth and Financial Performance Outlook section of this earnings release for estimated full year 2022 organic revenue growth for the Company and CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue. The percentage change in revenue resulting from acquisitions represents revenues during the current year period, limited to the initial 12 months from the date of the acquisition, that are directly attributable to business acquisitions. Revenue from acquisitions is expected to increase projected full year 2022 revenue growth by 50 basis points and to have no impact to projected full year 2022 CAG Diagnostics recurring revenue growth.

Comparable growth metrics - Comparable gross profit growth, comparable gross margin gain (or growth), comparable operating expense growth, comparable operating profit growth and comparable operating margin gain (or growth) are non-GAAP financial measures and exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and non-recurring or unusual items (if any). Please refer to the constant currency note above for a summary of foreign currency exchange rate impacts. Management believes that reporting comparable gross profit growth, comparable gross margin gain (or growth), comparable operating expense growth, comparable operating profit growth and comparable operating margin gain (or growth) provides useful information to investors because it enables better period-over-period comparisons of the fundamental financial results by excluding items that vary independent of performance and provides greater transparency to investors regarding key metrics used by management. Comparable gross profit growth, comparable gross margin gain (or growth), comparable operating expense growth, comparable operating profit growth and comparable operating margin gain (or growth) should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements of or superior measures to, gross profit growth, gross margin gain, operating expense growth, operating profit growth and operating margin gain reported in accordance with GAAP.

The reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is as follows:

Projected 2022 comparable operating margin expansion outlined in the 2022 Growth and Financial Performance Outlook section of this earnings release reflects projected full year 2022 reported operating margin adjusted for estimated positive year-over-year foreign currency exchange rate change impact of approximately 20 basis points.

This impact and those described in the constant currency note above reconcile reported gross profit growth, gross margin gain, operating expense growth, operating profit growth and operating margin gain (including projected 2022 operating margin expansion) to comparable gross profit growth, comparable gross margin gain, comparable operating expense growth, comparable operating profit growth and comparable operating margin gain for the Company.

Comparable EPS growth -  Comparable EPS growth is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents the percentage change in earnings per share (diluted) ("EPS") for a measurement period, as compared to the prior base period, net of the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates from the prior base period and excluding the tax benefits of share-based compensation activity under ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, and non-recurring or unusual items (if any). Management believes comparable EPS growth is a more useful way to measure the Company's business performance than EPS growth because it enables better period-over-period comparisons of the fundamental financial results by excluding items that vary independent of performance and provides greater transparency to investors regarding a key metric used by management. Comparable EPS growth should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement of or a superior measure to, EPS growth reported in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to the constant currency note above for a summary of foreign currency exchange rate impacts.

The reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure is as follows:

Projected 2022 comparable EPS growth outlined in the 2022 Growth and Financial Performance Outlook section of this earnings release reflects adjustments including estimated positive share-based compensation activity of $0.12 and estimated negative year-over-year foreign currency exchange rate change impact of $0.21.

These impacts and those described in the constant currency note above reconcile reported EPS growth (including projected 2022 reported EPS growth) to comparable EPS growth for the Company.

Free cash flow - Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and means, with respect to a measurement period, the cash generated from operations during that period, reduced by the Company's investments in property and equipment. Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure because it indicates the cash the operations of the business are generating after appropriate reinvestment for recurring investments in property and equipment that are required to operate the business. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement of or a superior measure to, net cash provided by operating activities. See the supplementary analysis of results below for our calculation of free cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. To estimate projected 2022 free cash flow, we have deducted projected purchases of property and equipment (also referred to as capital expenditures) of approximately $180 million. To calculate trailing twelve-month net income to free cash flow ratio for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022, we have deducted purchases of property and equipment of approximately $139 million from net cash provided from operating activities of approximately $578 million, divided by net income of approximately $664 million.

Debt to Adjusted EBITDA (Leverage Ratios) - Adjusted EBITDA, gross debt, and net debt are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-recurring transaction expenses incurred in connection with acquisitions, share-based compensation expense, and certain other non-cash losses and charges.  Management believes that reporting Adjusted EBITDA, gross debt and net debt in the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratios provides supplemental analysis to help investors further evaluate the Company's business performance and available borrowing capacity under the Company's credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA, gross debt, and net debt should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements of or superior measures to, net income or total debt reported in accordance with GAAP. For further information on how Adjusted EBITDA and the Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratios are calculated, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
