The robust Q3 growth was due to the excellent performance in Licenses (+15.2%), particularly in the Americas region. By type of offering, sales of digital solutions were particularly strong, with growth exceeding 40%.

Q3 growth by geographical area was driven by the Americas, Germany and the United Kingdom. France is continuing its transformation and expects its operations to stabilize during Q4 2016.

Revenue by geographical zone (€M)

(1) At constant exchange rates and scope of consolidation

Over the first cumulative nine months of 2016, the Americas region represented 43% of the Group's business and recorded growth in excess of 16% compared to the first three quarters of 2015. Growth in Maintenance (49% of the Group's operations over the first nine months of the year) increased during Q3 compared with H1. The same held true for Services, which showed strong growth in Cloud operations (more than 35% over the course of Q3).

Financial position

Axway's financial position remains robust. The company's cash position at the end of 2016 is forecast to be between €45 million and €50 million, with bank borrowing at approximately €30 million at the same date, excluding the impact of any changes in scope.

Prospects

The strong overall performance since the beginning of the year (and even more so during this period) bears witness to the successful execution of Axway's strategy to support its customers in their digital transformation. Q4 remains very important in terms of Licenses. At this stage, current commercial portfolio activity is encouraging and allows a positive outlook.
