Q3 2021
Highlights and Guidance
- Product revenue grew 10 percent in the Digital Business reflecting the continued impact of our subscription shift. Total product revenue grew 7 percent year-on-year in the third quarter.
- Lead transformation indicators continued to show strength, with 88 percent of third-quarter Digital Business bookings from subscription and Software as a Service (SaaS), annual recurring revenue (ARR) growing 9 percent year-on-year and recurring revenue reached 94 percent of our product revenue total.
- Digital Business bookings grew 6 percent in the third quarter, affected by deal timing as new opportunities took longer to mature than expected.
- Adabas & Natural (A&N) bookings grew 2 percent as customers continued to modernize their A&N landscapes using Software AG’s innovative A&N 2050+ program.
- Operating margin (EBITA, non-IFRS) of 16.8 percent for the quarter despite ongoing investment into Helix transformation. Operating EBITA (non-IRFS) declined 1 percent year-on-year in the third quarter.
- Full-year guidance updated: A&N bookings growth expected between -8 percent and -12 percent (previously: -30 to -20 percent). Digital Business bookings growth expected between 13 percent and 17 percent (previously: 15 to 25 percent). Product revenue growth expectation of 0 percent to 5 percent unchanged. Operating profit margin (EBITA, non-IFRS) expected to be between 17 percent and 19 percent (previously: 16 to 18 percent). The Group reiterates its commitment to its 2023 ambitions: €1 billion group revenue, 25 percent to 30 percent operating profit margin (EBITA, non-IFRS), 85 percent to 90 percent recurring product revenue and roughly 15 percent Digital Business CAGR as of 2023.
