Expanded Scope of Allegations
The new suit, City of Fort Lauderdale Police and Firefighters’ Retirement System v. Commvault Systems, Inc., et al., extends the start of the alleged fraud period from April 29, 2025, back to January 28, 2025. This expansion captures a broader range of investor activity and expands the claims brought against the company and its senior executives regarding their business disclosures.
Focus of CVLT Securities Class Action Litigation:
The litigation alleges that Defendants misrepresented and failed to disclose that:
- Commvault’s competitive positioning was materially weaker than Defendants had represented to investors;
- Due to the undisclosed increase in competition, Commvault was forced to make significant concessions on price and contract duration for its software licenses;
- As these concessions became unsustainable, SaaS became a larger portion of the Company’s sales mix;
- The increasing mix of SaaS sales, which carry shorter term durations and lower ASPs, negatively impacted the Company’s margin and NNARR; and
- As a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
The truth allegedly emerged before markets opened on January 27, 2026, when Commvault announced its third-quarter fiscal year 2026 financial results. Commvault disclosed NNARR in constant currency of $39 million, missing analysts’ expectations of approximately $45 million. Chief Accounting Officer Danielle Abrahamsen (“CAO Abrahamsen”) revealed that the mix of SaaS deals increased to “70%” during the quarter and highlighted that “landing these customers at a 2 to 3x smaller ASP than software . . . does have a significant impact on ARR.”
On this news, the price of Commvault common stock fell $40.23 per share, or about 31%, to close at a price of $89.13 per share on January 27, 2026.
