- Customer Default Investigation: ZoomInfo is under investigation by Kahn Swick & Foti due to $33 million in losses from customer non-payments, indicating significant financial strain that could undermine shareholder confidence.
- New Risk Model Implementation: The company has adopted a new business risk model requiring upfront payments from small business customers, reflecting a decline in the payment capacity of its client base, which may lead to customer attrition.
- Revenue Guidance Cut: ZoomInfo has reduced its annual revenue guidance by $65 million, from a range of $1.255 billion to $1.27 billion down to $1.19 billion to $1.205 billion, signaling a pessimistic outlook for future performance.
- Legal Action Progress: The company and its executives are facing a securities class action lawsuit for failing to disclose material information, with the court partially denying the company's motion to dismiss, allowing the case to proceed, which may further impact the company's reputation and stock price.
