- Sales environment remained stable, no disruption from US bank credit concerns in the quarter
- Good number of new logos signed and strong traction with existing customers
- AI-powered product launches gaining traction with clients, in particular FCM AI agent and Money Movement & Management
- Continued executing targeted investments across the business
- Sales hiring continued at pace, on track to increase sales headcount 50% by year-end
- Growth in profitability driven by sales momentum, with investments largely self-funded by ongoing savings from cost efficiency programs
- FY-25 guidance raised; FY-28 targets reconfirmed
Commenting on the results, Temenos Interim CEO and Chief Financial Officer, Takis Spiliopoulos said:
“We had a strong third quarter, driven by broad based demand from new logos as well as existing customers. We continued to invest in the business in line with our strategic plan and are on track to increase sales headcount 50% by year end. We have also continued to hire in our product and technology organization and we are rolling out a substantial number of AI initiatives across the business.
Looking at our financial performance, ARR grew 11% in the quarter in constant currency, with strong subscription and SaaS signings and particularly strong momentum in maintenance revenue which was up 14%, driven largely by premium maintenance. We now expect maintenance to grow around 11% constant currency for the full year.
From an overall cost perspective, the investments we are executing have been largely self-funded by ongoing cost efficiencies and good cost control. Our non-IFRS EBIT grew 36% in constant currency in Q3-25, driven by strong revenue growth and operating leverage.
We generated USD 29m of free cash flow in the quarter, up 30% year-on-year and 13% YTD, and we ended the quarter with leverage at 1.4x net debt to non-IFRS EBITDA, within our target operating leverage of 1.0x to 1.5x.
We completed our CHF 250m share buyback in the quarter, repurchasing shares representing 5.5% of the company’s registered share capital which will be proposed for cancellation at the 2026 AGM.
We remain prudent in our outlook, given there are a number of large deals expected in Q4-25. However, based on our Q3-25 performance and the stable sales environment, we are raising our guidance for FY-25 and reconfirming our FY-28 targets.”
CEO search update
Commenting on the CEO search, Thibault de Tersant, Chairman of the Board, said:
