Geneva, Switzerland, 27 October 2010 – Temenos Group AG (SIX: TEMN), the market leading provider of core banking solutions, today reports third quarter 2010 results showing outstanding growth in license revenues on the back of market share gains and strong software demand.

Q3 Financial and Operating highlights
  • Like-for-like licence growth +38%, reported licence growth +41%
  • Proportion of Tier 1-2 licenses return to pre-crisis levels
  • Completed largest acquisition to date – Odyssey transaction creates PWM leader
  • Increasing contribution from partner-sourced deals
Commenting on the results, Temenos CEO Andreas Andreades said, “This is an excellent set of results. The trends we saw in Q2 continue to materialize. Deal size has been supported by the return of Tier1-2 banks, particularly within Europe. In addition, we are seeing larger projects as the increased urgency of legacy replacement combines with greater confidence in implementation capability to drive customers to initiate multi-site projects.

We are also very happy that our partner strategy is developing at a faster pace than we initially anticipated. We observe partners beginning to function as an additional sales channel, sourcing deals which closed in the quarter at an increasing pace. Furthermore, partners are also taking an increasing share of our implementation business and this will help us to scale our business and grow profits faster in the future.

Our leadership allows us to play the role of consolidator and we are very happy to have made our largest acquisition to date – one that will elevate us into the position of clear leader in the private wealth management market. Our success with our recent integration of Viveo has given us the experience and confidence to undertake larger acquisitions. As part of the Temenos organization, we believe that Odyssey will enjoy faster growth and bring enhanced value to all stakeholders.

Given our excellent performance year to date, we are well on track to meet our full year outlook, which we reiterate at this time.”
