The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of all those who purchased Zendesk common stock between February 6, 2019 and October 1, 2019 (the "Class Period"). The case, Reidinger v. Zendesk, Inc. et al., No. 3:19-cv-06968 was filed on October 24, 2019 and has been assigned to Judge Charles R. Breyer.
The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) Zendesk's clients had been subject to data breaches dating back to 2016; (2) Zendesk was experiencing slowing demand for its SaaS offerings, particularly in Germany, the U.K. and Australia, due in large part to political uncertainty and China trade issues there; (3) for the forgoing reasons, Zendesk's business metrics and financial prospects were not as strong as represented during the Class Period; and (4) as a result, Zendesk's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
On July 30, 2019, Zendesk issued a press release and conducted a conference call to announce its second quarter 2019 ("2Q19") financial results for the period ended June 30, 2019. Zendesk reported net losses that had grown to $54.5 million, or $0.50 per share, which was significantly larger than the $34.4 million, or $0.33 per share, reported in 2Q18, despite the fact that 2Q19 revenues had increased from $141.9 million in 2Q18 to $194.6 million in 2Q19. The Company also reported revenue growth of 37%, which was below the 38%-41% range the Company had reported over the prior eight quarters.
