Management's Assessment of Third-Quarter Results

The end of this quarter marks eight months into Helix, our multi-year transformation strategy to return Software AG to sustainable, profitable growth. We are seeing the emergence of the first operational and financial benefits of the Helix transformation, helping us win with pace and power in the market and delivering strong Group-level performance in both revenue and profit. As a result, the Management Board has confirmed its financial guidance for the full year 2019.

For the third quarter, Group revenue was €224.2 million, 5 percent (acc) higher than Q3 last year. Within that, total product revenue grew 5 percent (acc) to reach €179.2 million; and total license revenue was above the previous year at €64.1 million (Q3 2018: €56.7 million), up 9 percent (acc). Q3 Group EBIT was €59.0 million (Q3 2018: €54.5 million), an increase of 8 percent. The non-IFRS EBITA margin was 30.5 percent, consistent with the prior year and in line with our guidance for the year as a whole.

The Group's Adabas & Natural (A&N) business continued its recent run of strong performance supported by good momentum in North America. Our Adabas & Natural 2050+ program continues to resonate with customers, including our new zIIP and rehosting technologies, evidenced by wins such as the University of Texas, Austin. Adabas & Natural's positive performance was reflected in 15 percent growth at constant currency in product revenue, driven in part by early closing of deals which were originally expected for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

The Group's Digital Business Platform (DBP, excluding Cloud & IoT) saw a slight recovery in performance during Q3. License sales were consistent with previous-year levels, with positive developments in North America and continued strength in the EMEA region. This led to an overall 1 percent revenue increase to €108.7 million

Cloud & IoT showed weak performance against a strong prior year because of the absence of large deals which are now expected for Q4. Importantly, momentum in new logo acquisition continued to build in the quarter, and maintenance and SaaS showed strong double-digit growth. Overall, business line revenue declined by 6 percent (acc) to €8.6 million, compared to €9.1 million in Q3 2018.

If we look at DBP including Cloud and IoT, in line with our Helix commitment to improve the quality of our revenue and earnings over time, SaaS and Subscription commitments now account for 63 percent of all bookings. Our Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) is now €334.0 million which is 6 percent higher than in Q2 and 12 percent higher year on year.

Our An Helix, eight months of tough decisions, disciplined focus and sharper execution are starting to make an impact and deliver early results. With ongoing work around our three strategic pillars—Focus, Execution and Team—we have started to deliver against our initial Helix commitments, around quality of earnings, product strength, focus in R&D, sales and marketing execution, the shift to subscription sales and the build-out of our partner ecosystem.

  • In focus, we continue to build our reputation for having the very best products in the market. Our focused R&D has driven our product innovation and development velocity, resulting in recognition from major industry analysts and the launch of two new products, webMethods.io B2B platform and ARIS Cloud. In addition, Software AG now has a cloud offering available for each major product.
  • In execution, we have steadied our business in North America, and we have made excellent progress with our subscription sales model roll-out. We also won 83 new logos in the period including: Ernst & Young, Dubai Smart City Government and the U.S. Navy.
  • In team: A significant element of our transformation efforts is being invested in evolving and deepening our partner ecosystem, the strategic OEM relationship we announced with Adobe company, Marketo is a solid proof point of this achievement. Investing in our own team remains of paramount importance. We are delighted that our new Chief HR Officer, Dr. Elke Frank, is now in place, driving further evolutions in our culture and development opportunities for our teams.

As we enter the final quarter of the year, the Management Board feels that with these results we have taken an important step towards our transformation. In Q4, we look forward to fulfill our committed guidance (see section Outlook on p. 6) and to continue the transformation of our business in the years to come.

"Eight months into our Helix transformation program, I am encouraged to see the first benefits of our tough decisions, disciplined focus and sharper execution showing through. There is much still to do—but strong growth in recurring revenue, a full cloud suite for all of our major products, strong momentum in new logo wins and a steadying of our business in North America all show that we are pointing in the right direction. I am delighted to see us extend our partnership ecosystem further today, with our new Marketo OEM relationship extending the deep bonds we have already built with Adobe. Our position in the key 'hybrid integration' market is getting stronger, and we remain focused as a team on the initiatives that will see us deliver on our long-term growth ambitions," said Sanjay Brahmawar, CEO of Software AG.

"We have made great progress with our subscription model conversion program and we remain on solid financial footing to support this and our other Helix priorities moving forward," commented Arnd Zinnhardt, CFO of Software AG.

Business Line Development

Software AG's A&N business performed well for the quarter, generating revenue of €62.0 million (Q3 2018: €52.3 million) as a result of good momentum in North America. In A&N, customers are responding to our Adabas & Natural 2050+ program. A&N license sales increased by 48 percent net of currency compared to the prior year, to €25.0 million (Q3 2018: €16.1 million). A&N maintenance reached €36.8 million in Q3 2019, consistent to €36.0 million in Q3 2018.

Software AG's DBP excluding Cloud & IoT, delivered revenue growth of 1 percent (acc) to €108.7 million (Q3 2018: €104.7 million). License revenues were flat with €37.9 million from €37.1 million. The performance in this segment was driven by strong, licence growth in EMEA and first positive developments in North America in the quarter.

Professional Services revenue was €44.8 million (Q3 2018: €42.7 million) in Q3 2019.

Total Revenue and Earnings Development

In the quarter under review, Software AG reported €224.2 million (Q3 2018: €208.8 million) in total revenue in the period, an increase of 5 percent net of currency. Group license revenue grew 9 percent (acc) to €64.1 million (Q3 2018: €56.7 million). Group maintenance revenue totalled €109.3 million (Q3 2018: €104.7 million), or 2 percent growth (acc). Accordingly, Software AG's total third-quarter product revenue (licenses and maintenance) was €179.2 million (Q3 2018: €165.9 million), which reflects 5 percent growth (acc).

The company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), amounted to €59.0 million (Q3 2018: €54.5 million) in the quarter under review. This reflects an EBIT margin of 26.3 percent (Q3 2018: 26.1 percent). At €68.4 million (Q3 2018: €63.8 million), operating EBITA (non-IFRS) also performed well in the quarter. Subsequently, the operating profit margin (non-IFRS) was 30.5 percent (Q3 2018: 30.5 percent).

Employees

As of September 30, 2019, Software AG had 4,883 (2018: 4,714) employees worldwide (full-time equivalents). Of that total, 1,890 (2018: 1,903) worked in Professional Services.

2019 Outlook

As the business embarks on its long-term strategy to deliver sustainable growth, Software AG reiterates its outlook for the 2019 fiscal year and in the Helix strategy.

The Management Board continues to anticipate for the 2019 fiscal year:

  • An operating profit margin (EBITA, non-IFRS) between 28 and 30 percent
  • DBP (excl. Cloud & IoT) revenue growth between –6 and 0 percent
