Yext Named on the Financial Times' Americas' Fastest Growing Companies List

NEW YORK, April 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Yext, Inc. (NYSE: YEXT), the Answers Search Company, today announced its placement on the second annual Americas' Fastest Growing Companies list by the Financial Times.

Compiled in collaboration with global leading research company Statista, the Financial Times list ranks companies from North and South America by compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in revenue between 2016 and 2019. Out of millions of active companies in the region, only 500 make the final cut.

According to a writeup by the Financial Times, this year's ranking "offers a snapshot of the relative strength of companies as they entered the Covid pandemic — and points to those likely to have the resilience to emerge from the crisis in good health."

"It's an honor for Yext to be recognized again as one of the fastest growing companies by one of the world's most respected business publications," said Howard Lerman, Founder and CEO of Yext. "We've only scratched the surface of what we can do with our powerful, answers-led search platform. We're embarking on our most exciting chapter of growth as we continue to deliver new and diverse search experiences to businesses around the world."
