GENEVA, Switzerland, 23 April 2013 – Temenos Group AG (SIX: TEMN), the market leading provider of mission-critical software to financial institutions globally, today reports its first quarter 2013 results.
§ Solid Q1 results across all key performance indicators
§ Like-for-like licence growth of 5% (4% reported), the second consecutive quarter of growth
§ Non-IFRS costs down 4% (IFRS costs down 10%) with non-IFRS EBIT margin up 7% pts
§ Non-IFRS EBIT more than doubled with IFRS EBIT moving from a loss of USD 5.3m to a profit of USD 8.2m
§ Cash conversion** of 111% in the twelve months ending March 2013
§ Acquisition of TriNovus to accelerate US growth and enter US SaaS market
§ American Depository Receipt commenced trading today under the symbol TMSNY
§ Refinancing and bond issue completed to lock-in flexible, low cost, long term funding
§ On track to deliver reaffirmed 2013 guidance
Commenting on the results, Temenos CEO David Arnott said:
“The actions we took in the second half of 2012, in particular refocusing the organisation around a new strategic plan and reducing costs, are paying off. Licence revenues are growing again thanks to our multi-product approach, which is not only resulting in higher sales in Private Wealth Management, Channels and Business Analytics, but is also making our core banking proposition more attractive and helping to underpin further market share gains.
The combination of a rising top line with a materially and sustainably lower cost base is enabling us to deliver very significant growth in profitability, with profits doubling in the quarter on a non-IFRS basis. What is more, with the acquisition of TriNovus we have established a platform to accelerate growth in the US, the world’s largest market for financial services software spend. Taking all of these things together, I am confident that we have the strategy and team to deliver on our financial commitments for the full year and beyond.”
Revenue
Both IFRS and non-IFRS revenue for the quarter was USD 103.6m, up from USD 100.3m in Q1 last year, representing an increase of 3%. Licence revenue for the quarter was USD 24.5m, 4% higher than in the same period in 2012.
EBIT
Non-IFRS EBIT was USD 13.5m in Q1, 115% higher than in Q1 2012, with a non-IFRS EBIT margin in Q1 of 13%, up 7% points on 2012. IFRS EBIT moved from a loss of USD 5.3m in Q1 2012 to a profit of USD 8.2m in Q1 2013.
