an improvement of 23 percent (18 percent in constant currency
Message from the CEO
Despite the economic headwinds presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, license revenue grew 39% compared to Q1 2019. Recurring revenues were also steady as customers depend on their IFS solutions to run their most mission critical business processes. On the back of this strong revenue development in Q1, EBITDA remains stable and is underpinned by ongoing initiatives to improve the IFS cost base. These initiatives support the short-term EBITDA performance while enabling our business to quickly rebound once the global lockdowns are eased. By taking prudent cost-control measures, we are building further resilience into the business, which we believe could see downward pressure through the next two quarters. Our ongoing focus remains fixed on taking precautions not only to protect our staff and community, but to ensure our customers continue to receive the stellar product, service and support they deserve.

Message from the CEO
The success of our business transformation is apparent as Q3 now marks our sixth straight quarter of growth above 20 percent. Over the last 18 months, we’ve gone from being a fragmented global business to a fast-growing organization operating globally at scale. All the while, we’ve never lost sight of our commitment to providing the best experience for our customers, which remains our guiding principle.
Our topline growth does not come from extracting revenue from our installed base through tactics like compliance audits. On the contrary, we are winning half of our license revenues from new customers. I believe this speaks volumes about our ability to beat the larger legacy vendors with a proposition that offers what the others don’t: choice and a focus on real customer value.
