After a 1st quarter 2016 slightly up by 0.7% (+2.6% on a comparable basis), Prodware posted €41.9m in revenues in the 2nd quarter, down 14.3% compared with a particularly dynamic 2nd quarter 2015, presenting a high basis of comparison. On a comparable basis, the decline in business over the quarter was 12.3%.

Over the period, the Group saw sharp growth in sales in SaaS mode, which reflects the transformation of the Group's sales model. Although SaaS sales are seeing reduced revenues for the time being, they ensure recurring business activity over three to five years, thus offering excellent visibility on the Group's revenues.

Over the 1st half of 2016, Prodware's consolidated revenues totaled €84.4m, down 7.3% in terms of reported figures and 5.5% on a comparable basis. This trend was mainly related to:

  • a 31% increase in SaaS sales
  • a 33% decrease in infrastructure sales, or €6m. This decrease in business, is directly related to its growing integration into SaaS, which is much more profitable in the medium/long term.
  • In 2nd quarter 2016, a difficult envcontext in France (repeated strikes, floods…) which impacted the effectiveness of the operations teams and delay projects and/or the signing of new significant contracts (around 5% of revenues for the 1st half of 2016).

The Publishing business, which provides strong added value, generated €29.1m in revenues (34.5% of Group revenues) compared with €30.2m in the 1st half of 2015.

Revenues generated abroad in the 1st half of 2016 thus represented 47.5% of total revenues compared with 50.2% in the 1st half of last year.

Spain, Israel, and Great Britain continued their momentum supported in particular by the experts of entities in Germany and Benelux, two regions that saw a decrease in their revenues also because of the acceleration of their SaaS sales.

Outlook

The order book remained strong over the second half of the year, in a rather uncertain global environment.

For 2016 overall, Prodware should continue the acceleration of its recurring sales on marginproducing business activities in order to ensure improved profitability at long term.
