The level of activity in Q1 demonstrates that financial institutions continue to embark on transformational IT renovation, with the digitisation trend and focus on costs putting ever more pressure on banks to upgrade their IT platforms.
In this environment, our value proposition of packaged, upgradeable software is resonating with our clients. We saw good growth across all regions and our pipeline for 2016 remains very strong. The significant number of implementations in the quarter are also a testament to our ability to deliver customer success. We continue to take market share and are proud once again to be recognised as the leading provider of software to financial institutions by the independent industry analysts in 2016.”
Commenting on the results, Temenos CFO and COO Max Chuard said:
“Our growth in revenue, profitability and cash generation has been excellent in Q1, reflecting the strength of our business model and the momentum we have in the market. We continue to make good progress with larger financial institutions embarking on progressive renovation, which has helped to maintain our high levels of revenue visibility for the coming quarters and the medium term. The refinancing we carried out in Q1 2016 has also increased our balance sheet flexibility for future growth opportunities. Given the strong start to 2016 and our healthy pipeline, we are confident in reconfirming our guidance for 2016.”
