Q2-22 highlights

Q2-22 financial summary (non-IFRS)

Commenting on the results, Temenos CEO Max Chuard said:

“I was pleased with the demand for subscription this quarter, having only introduced this new pricing model at the start of the year. Demand was ahead of our expectations and, along with our strong SaaS revenue, drove 16% growth in our Annual Recurring Revenue, up from 14% in Q1-22. I expect this trend to continue, and we are guiding for ARR growth of 18-20% for the full year.
We had a large European deal move from Q2-22 into Q3-22 which was a headwind on our total software licensing revenue this quarter. We are seeing increased activity with large tier 1 and 2 banks across all regions which, whilst it can be hard to time the closing of these deals, is clearly a positive and indicative of overall market activity which remains robust. This is particularly true in the Wealth space, where we are engaged in discussions with a number of global tier 1 private banks around transformational IT renovation.
We see strong levels of activity in the US and reached a significant milestone in the quarter as we won a top 20 US bank for core banking replacement. This builds on the Commerce Bank go-live which is opening up opportunities for us in the US market. We also had a good number of deals signed with partners, which is a channel we are increasingly focused on and expect to drive more sales through this channel going forward. With accelerating demand for subscription, we are well on our way to building a robust and more predictable recurring revenue business model.”

Commenting on the results, Temenos CFO Takis Spiliopoulos said:

“We had strong demand for subscription this quarter, with USD31m of subscription licenses signed, significantly ahead of our expectations. Our total software licensing was impacted by one large deal that we expect to close shortly.
SaaS continues to perform well, with USD11m of SaaS ACV almost entirely won from new customers, and SaaS revenue accelerating to 36% growth year-on-year. This strong growth in subscription and SaaS is driving an acceleration in ARR, which grew 16% this quarter and which we expect to continue to accelerate. Overall, the demand environment remained robust with USD182m of total bookings in the quarter, up 12%.
Our cost base grew 11% in the quarter through a combination of H1-22 investments and post-Covid normalization. We remain very focused on our costs, with strong cost control in place whilst making investments in the right areas of our business to deliver our growth plans. The growth in costs and lower total software licensing impacted our EBIT, which declined 9% in the quarter. I remain confident that, with a strong pipeline supporting our revenue growth in the second half of the year, our EBIT growth will recover.
In terms of cash, we generated USD87m of operating cash flow, a decline of 22%, and USD50m of Free Cash Flow, a decline of 42% due to the shift to subscription.
We reiterate our guidance for 2022, with ARR growth of 18-20%, Total Software Licensing growth of 16-18% and Total Revenue growth of at least 10%. Lastly, we expect EBIT to grow 9-11% for the year. We expect to continue converting 100%+ of EBITDA into operating cash, and we expect our FY-22 tax rate to be between 18-20%.”

USD 49.9m of Free Cash Flow was generated in Q2-22, a decrease of 42% vs. Q2-21 due to the accelerating move to subscription and lower term licenses.

Move to subscription revenue and impact on future reporting

Temenos will sell five-year subscription contracts for on-premise license and maintenance as standard from 2022, including for renewals. This will accelerate growth by capturing greater contract value and accelerate the shift to more financial performance driven by a much higher proportion of recurring revenues. To reflect this change, on the P&L the License revenue is split into either Subscription license or Term license, depending on the nature of contract.

The impact of the move to a subscription model on P&L, cash and ARR is shown for illustrative purposes below:
