GRAND-LANCY, Switzerland, April 21st, 2026 – Temenos AG (SIX: TEMN), a global leader in banking technology, today announces its first quarter 2026 results.
Commenting on the results, Temenos CEO and interim Chief Financial Officer, Takis Spiliopoulos said:
“Temenos delivered a strong first quarter, with product revenue growth of 14% and ARR growth of 13%, continuing the momentum we built through 2025 and reflecting the early benefits from strategic investments in product, technology and go-to-market.
We saw good traction across geographies and client segments. Tier 1 wins in Japan and APAC, alongside expansion of relationships with banks in the Middle East, Switzerland and the UK, further demonstrates that we are making good progress against our strategy. In the US, we are making good progress on several deals in our pipeline and we expect to announce further signings this year, and we continue to roll out our AI strategy at pace across the organization.
I am also delighted to announce the appointment of Daniel Schmucki as CFO of Temenos, joining us from August 3rd, 2026. Daniel brings extensive financial and operating experience, most recently as CFO of SIX Group. He has a proven track record in developing and leading high performance teams in global and multicultural environments, and I am confident he will be a strong partner for the business and enable us to accelerate the delivery of our strategic roadmap.
We enter the rest of the year with reconfirmed FY-26 guidance and FY-28 targets, a growing pipeline, and a well-funded investment plan. Our product roadmap is on track, with targeted announcements this quarter. The strategy we laid out at the 2026 February Capital Markets Day is being executed with discipline, and I am confident in our ability to deliver on our vision of Leading Banking Forward.”
