On May 2, 2024, after the markets closed, Sprout Social announced the Company's operating results for the first fiscal quarter of 2024, disclosing that the Company had missed its revenue guidance for the quarter. The company also revised its full year 2024 revenue guidance downward $20 million. The Company's Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") Joe Del Preto ("Del Preto") stated the Company had "underestimated the magnitude of enterprise seasonality" and that the Company had also been "self-inducing sales execution headwinds." During the earnings call held on the same day, the Company's Present and incoming Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Ryan Barretto ("Barretto") disclosed that the Company "made several important strategic decisions heading into Q1" which the Company "thought [it] could manage [] without disruption, but they collectively set us back." Barretto stated these decisions "happened in Q4 and the execution of it happened in Q1." Barretto further disclosed the Company's shift in business had "changed materially" and "affect[ed] revenue recognition and planning" which would now be "heavily weighted to traditional enterprise buying cycles." Justyn Howard ("Howard"), the Company's current CEO, also disclosed that the Company had to spend "energy and calorie" in the first quarter on "tactical decisions" including "spending time with the team on Tagger enablement." Barretto explained further, stating "[f]rom a sales team perspective, the maturity of the sales team, we did a lot of enablement in Q1 across our entire customer-facing or to make sure that we are up to speed with all of the elements of influencer and our Tagger platform."

On this news, Sprout Social's stock price fell $19.33, or 40.1%, to close at $28.82 per share on May 3, 2024, on unusually heavy trading volume.
