In the first quarter of 2016, Prodware generated consolidated revenues of €42.5m compared with €42.2m for the same period in 2015, or a slight increase of 0.7%. On a comparable basis, the activity shows an increase of 2.6%.
The quarter was marked by an increase in sales of Edition licences via the Cloud and direct sales of Edition solutions. Though this mode of marketing, which is pushed by publishers like Microsoft, has no impact on the level of margin, it stretches these sales over 3 years on average, impacting the immediate level of activity accordingly.
In accordance with the Group's strategy, activity in Edition direct sales, representing a significant value add, continued its growth with a turnover of €15.1m compared with €14.3m in Q1 2015. It now represents 35.5% of overall turnover compared with 33.8% in the previous year. At the same time, Saas sales remain fairly stable at 7.5% of overall turnover.
While activity in the French-speaking region is in slight decline (-2.3%) due to the rise in sales of Cloud licences, international sales grew 3.6% thanks to performance in Spain and Israel. The strategy of concentrating activities in the Benelux and Germany is starting to bear fruit with the first encouraging signs of reversal.
As such, in Q1 2016, revenue generated abroad represents 50.5% of total turnover compared with 49.1% in Q1 last year.
Prodware will continue to focus on margin growth activities to ensure improved profitability.
