EverCommerce Inc. (NASDAQ:EVCM) is possibly approaching a major achievement in its business, so we would like to shine some light on the company. EverCommerce Inc., together with its subsidiaries, provides integrated software-as-a-service solutions for service-based small and medium sized businesses in the United States and internationally. The US$1.9b market-cap company posted a loss in its most recent financial year of US$46m and a latest trailing-twelve-month loss of US$44m shrinking the gap between loss and breakeven. The most pressing concern for investors is EverCommerce's path to profitability – when will it breakeven? In this article, we will touch on the expectations for the company's growth and when analysts expect it to become profitable.

According to the 11 industry analysts covering EverCommerce, the consensus is that breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2024, before generating positive profits of US$21m in 2025. So, the company is predicted to breakeven just over a year from now. In order to meet this breakeven date, we calculated the rate at which the company must grow year-on-year. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 116% is expected, which signals high confidence from analysts. If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.

Underlying developments driving EverCommerce's growth isn't the focus of this broad overview, but, keep in mind that typically a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.

One thing we would like to bring into light with EverCommerce is its relatively high level of debt. Typically, debt shouldn't exceed 40% of your equity, which in EverCommerce's case is 68%. A higher level of debt requires more stringent capital management which increases the risk around investing in the loss-making company.
