Move to subscription revenue and impact on future reporting

Temenos moved to selling 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 below for illustrative purposes:
