Cloudera Accused of Misleading Shareholders
According to the derivative complaint, from 2015-2017, Cloudera touted its 140% revenue increase and earned recognition as one of the largest global enterprises. Due to this positive growth, Cloudera raised over $258 million in gross proceeds when it went public in its initial public offering ("IPO") in April 2017. Following the IPO, Cloudera's officers and directors highlighted Cloudera's "land-and-expand" business model for growing its customer base, assuring investors of its viability and stating "the benefits…are evident in [its] improving margins and cash flow." However, these misleading positive statements were materially false and, in reality, Cloudera's "land-and-expand" strategy was a ploy to grow revenues while Cloudera's technology grew increasingly outdated, causing pricing and servicing disadvantages compared to its competitors. As a result, Cloudera had diminished sales opportunities that prevented it from generating annual positive cash flow for the future. Cloudera's adverse situation was revealed on April 3, 2018, when Cloudera provided a disappointing outlook for fiscal 2019, demonstrating a sharp deceleration in growth. On this news, Cloudera's stock price fell 40% to $13.29 per share, which is 11% less than its IPO price.
