Here’s a link to the 8K report (file) that Textura filed
with the SEC yesterday afternoon – this file contains the Press Release Textura
issued as well as its financial results for its last quarter and full fiscal
year)
Textura’s Press Release calls out
these highlights:
 
Revenue increased 72% year over year to $10.9 million
 
Accelerating revenue growth from 65% in prior quarter
 
Construction value added of $23.7 billion, up 158% year over year & up
74% from the third quarter
 
Recently announced an agreement to acquire LATISTA, the leading provider
of mobile-enabled, cloud-based field 
management solutions in the industry
  In September launched
BidOrganizerTM, a new solution designed to help contractors with a central,
online location to
prioritize,
track, and schedule all bid invitations
Here’s a “snapshot” of TXTR shares at
close of market Nov 21 2013, just before TXTR releases its financial results:
Blog Publisher’s comments:
Well,
interestingly, Textura’s shares soared by nearly 10% yesterday, and that was
before Textura released its financial results. 
Investors betting that the financial results would look good, be great,
be a surprise to the up-side?
Textura’s
sales did increased from $6.319 mil to $10.533 (Sep 30 2012 to Sep 30 2013) –
an increase of around $4.2 mil, but if that’s something for the company (or
analysts) to crow about, I’m as mystified as I normally am.  Especially since approximately $1.5 mil of
that sales growth came from revenues acquired when Textura purchased
PlanSwift.  Keep in mind that, at
yesterday’s market close, Textura’s market cap was $883 mil.  And, also keep in mind that between the time
Textura went public in June and now, Textura did, at a few points, have a
market cap exceeding $1 billion.
Uh, that’s
correct.  To me, this sort of valuation
for a company that, in my mind, is growing slowly and whose losses are growing,
not slowing, is ridiculous.  But, that
just shows you how well I understand the stock market.

The person
who writes Textura’s financial Press Releases 
is an excellent wordsmith (or perhaps it’s a team that does that)  The latest press release provided all sorts
of interesting numbers and statistics and percentages, etc – in an effort to
show you how wonderful the company is doing and how amazing its growth
prospects are. 
It will be
interesting to see if Textura will become profitable, bottom-line profitable,
in 2014.  I’ll bet you that won’t
happen.  Nevertheless, its stock may
continue to do very well.  There’s been a
lot of hype about Textura.
