Allegations

The Snowflake lawsuit alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants failed to disclose the following adverse facts about Snowflake's business, operations, and prospects: (a) that Snowflake had systematically oversold capacity to customers to create a misleading appearance of the demand for Snowflake's products and services; (b) that Snowflake had provided significant and unsustainable discounts to its customers to temporarily boost sales in advance of the Company's Initial Public Offering, and such discounting would require platform efficiency adjustments that negatively impacted client consumption and Snowflake's revenue and profit margins; (c) that, as a result of the above, Snowflake's customers were rolling over a material amount of unused credits (and thereby cannibalize future sales) at the end of their contracts' terms or refusing to renew their contracts at prior consumption levels or at all; (d) that, as a result of the above, Snowflake's product revenue and remaining performance obligations had been artificially inflated throughout the Class Period; and (e) that, as a result, Defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about Snowflake's business, financials, and growth trajectory.

On March 2, 2022, Snowflake reported fourth quarter results for 2022, and announced disappointing fiscal 2023 guidance, slashing its projected product revenue growth rate for fiscal 2023 to a range of 65% to 67%, far below the rates and trends Defendants highlighted during the Class Period. On this news the price of Snowflake common stock plummeted from $264.69 per share on March 2, 2022, to close at $224.02 per share on March 3, 2022.
