Temenos reports 16% revenue growth in Q3 and guides to full-year revenue growth of 5-14% - despite challenging environment
Geneva, Switzerland, 13 October, 2011 – Temenos Group AG (SIX: TEMN), the market leading provider of core banking solutions, today reports third quarter 2011 results demonstrating robust performance.
Q3 Financial and Operating highlights
 Total revenue growth +16%
 Licence revenue flat despite tough comparative
 Services revenue +15% y/y, loss continues to narrow; recovery on track
 11 new banks signed for T24, including 2 Tier 1 banks
 15 Go-lives, including 9 T24 and the first full Java T24 deployment

Commenting on the results, Temenos CEO Guy Dubois said, “I am encouraged by these results, given our very strong comparative base and the deterioration that we witnessed in the environment. In the face of macroeconomic headwinds, the company performed across all metrics. Licence revenues were broadly diversified across geographies, with a noticeable acceleration from Asia. While the services business remains a challenge, we continue to grow revenues and close the gap to profitability.

The lengthening of the decision making process which we witnessed in Q2 has deteriorated in the third quarter. As a result of this heightened uncertainty, we feel it appropriate to no longer guide on licence revenue and to revise our outlook range for total revenues for the full year 2011.

After my first quarter at the helm, I am convinced that the company has the foundations and the strengths to be the software solution of choice for the transformation of the banking industry.”

Revenue
Revenue for the third quarter was USD 120.9m, up from USD 104.0 m in the same period last year, representing an increase of 16%. Licence revenue for the quarter was USD 37.7m, flat vs Q3 2010. For the LTM 2011, total revenue was USD 496.3m, up 19% on LTM 2010, with LTM licence revenue at USD 165.9m, 16% higher than the same period last year.

Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT (EBIT before one-off restructuring charges of USD1m and amortisation of acquired intangibles of USD4.6m) was USD 23.8m, 19% lower than in Q3 2010 – a quarter characterized by unseasonably high comparables. Adjusted EBIT for the last twelve months was USD 106.3m compared to USD 102.6m in the prior period, representing a 4% increase. The adjusted EBIT margin was 20%, an decrease of 8 percentage points on the prior year, with LTM 2011 adjusted EBIT margin at 21%, 3 percentage points lower than in the prior 12 months.

Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Adjusted EPS, which excludes amortization of acquired intangibles and restructuring charges, was USD 0.26 in the quarter, a decline of 35% vs the same quarter of the previous year in which we achieved USD 0.40. The LTM adjusted EPS was 1.26, a decline of 9% on the previous 12 months.

Cash
Operating cash was an inflow of 2.3m in the quarter, reflecting the seasonal low in our cash flow cycle. On a twelve month basis, operating cashflow was USD 79.8m, 1% lower than in the comparative period and representing a 104% operating cashflow into EBITDA conversion.

Revised Outlook
Given the increased level of uncertainty in the macroeconomy, our visibility has decreased and we feel it is no longer appropriate to guide on licence revenues. For total revenues, the company now anticipates a growth range of 5-14% growth vs our previous outlook of 13.5-17.5%, which would now imply approximately USD 470 – 510m in total revenues. We have also revised the expected range of adjusted EBIT margins to 18-26% from 24.5-25.5%.

We maintain our guidance for 100% conversion of operating cashflow into EBITDA and believe that our tax rate will be 10-12% for the full year 2011. In addition, in Q4 2011 we expect to incur a one-off charge for our cost efficiency programme that may fall within the range of USD 15-25m.
