Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 56.179.272 von cash_is_king am 14.11.17 14:24:38SimCorp reports 2017 revenue growth of 11% and EBIT margin of 26%
SimCorp generated total revenue of EUR 343.4m in 2017 compared with restated* revenue of EUR 309.2m and reported revenue of EUR 295.9m in 2016. The increase was driven by strong growth in both professional services and license sales to existing clients, while licenses to new customers were lower than in 2016.
Revenue increased by 11.0% compared with restated 2016 revenue. In local currencies, revenue increased by 12.5%, of which EUR 5.8m, equal to 1.9%, came from the acquisition of SimCorp Italiana. Consequently, organic revenue growth was 10.6%.
SimCorp generated EBIT of EUR 88.9m compared with EUR 81.5m in restated and EUR 68.2m in reported EBIT in 2016. This was an increase of 30% compared with reported 2016 EBIT and 9% compared with restated 2016 EBIT. The profit for the year was EUR 66.5m compared with EUR 61.0m in restated and EUR 51.0m in reported profit in 2016.
EBIT margin was 25.9% compared with 26.4% in restated and 23.1% in reported EBIT margin in 2016. Measured in local currencies, the EBIT margin was 26.0%. Excluding the impact of the acquisition of SimCorp Italiana, the 2017 EBIT margin was 26.4%, the same as the restated 2016 EBIT margin. This, despite a higher proportion of the 2017 revenue deriving from professional services, which carries a higher relative cost.
Annual order inflow was EUR 81.8m compared with EUR 85.1m last year. The order book increased by EUR 8.8m from restated end-2016 order book value of EUR 16.0m, and amounted to EUR 24.8m at December 31, 2017. The order book increased as income recognition for a few orders was deferred until certain predefined contractual conditions are met.
Eight new SimCorp Dimension license contracts were signed in 2017, including four in the strategic North American market.
Free cash flow was EUR 51.3m compared with EUR 60.8m in 2016, and SimCorp had a positive net cash position of EUR 1.4m at December 31, 2017.
SimCorp enters 2018 with EUR 215.8m of the full year’s revenue secured on contract – an improvement of EUR 8.5m compared with last year.
The Board of Directors intends to recommend to shareholders at the Annual General Meeting 2018 that dividends be declared at the rate of DKK 6.50 per share compared with DKK 6.25 last year, equivalent to 52% of profit for the year and 67% of free cash flow in 2017.
For 2018, SimCorp expects revenue to grow between 10% and 15% and EBIT margin to be between 24.5% and 27.5% measured in local currencies. SimCorp Italiana is expected to account for 3%-points of the revenue growth. Based on the exchange rates prevailing at the end of January 2018, SimCorp estimates reported revenue to be negatively impacted from currency fluctuations by around 3%. The impact from currency fluctuations on reported EBIT margin is expected to be negative by around 0.5%-points.
SimCorp CEO, Klaus Holse comments: “2017 was another good year for SimCorp driven mainly by increased sales to existing clients and a significant uptick in professional services. With organic growth of more than 10%, we continue to deliver against our aspirations of being a growth company driven by innovation. We welcomed eight new SimCorp Dimension clients and extended the relationship with many of our existing customers proving the value of the integrated system.”

SimCorp grows revenue by 10% in the first nine months of 2017 and adds three new clients in Q3
In the first three quarters of 2017, SimCorp generated revenue of EUR 229.2m, an increase of 10.4% (10.9% measured in local currencies) compared with restated* figures for the first nine months last year.
EBIT for the nine months was EUR 43.0m compared with EUR 43.3m in restated 2016 figures, a decrease of 0.5%. Currency fluctuations impacted EBIT positively by EUR 0.8m.
EBIT margin was 18.8% (18.3% measured in local currencies) compared with 20.8% in the first nine months of 2016 (restated).
The revenue mix for the first nine months of the year has been skewed towards Professional Services that grew 28.2%. License sales to existing customers also showed healthy growth with 11.4% and maintenance income grew 6.6%. However, new subscription licenses decreased 36.2%. The changed business mix compared to the year before led to a lower EBIT margin due to higher costs of delivering Professional Services.
Net profit for the first nine months was EUR 31.1m compared with EUR 32.7m in restated 2016 figures.
Free cash flow was EUR 36.1m compared with EUR 51.8m in the first nine months of 2016. The lower free cash flow of EUR 15.7m was primarily related to the gradual change from perpetual license sales to subscription based contracts, increased current assets related to the growth in Professional Services, and higher payment of income taxes.
Total order intake from new licenses and add-on licenses for the first nine months was EUR 32.1m compared with EUR 44.4m in 2016. Three new SimCorp Dimension clients in APAC, Denmark and North America were added in Q3.
At 30 September 2017, EUR 291m of the 2017 revenue had been contractually secured, 11% higher than at the same time last year.
SimCorp maintains its expectations for reported revenue growth between 9% and 14% measured in local currency for 2017, whereas expectations for EBIT margin measured in local currencies is narrowed to be between 24% and 26% (previously 24%-27%), reflecting an increased share of revenue from Professional Services.
Klaus Holse, SimCorp CEO comments: “We continue to see strong demand for Professional Services from customers added in the last two years as well as from long term customers. Further, I am pleased that we have welcomed three new customers in Q3 and another two so far in Q4. We have a solid pipeline of potential customers and demand for additional licenses from existing customers.”

SimCorp grows revenue by 12.9% in H1 2017 driven by a strong performance in Professional Services
H1 2017 reported revenue was EUR 148.2m, an increase of 12.9% when compared with restated H1 2016*, and an increase of 12.8% when measured in local currencies.
EBIT for H1 2017 was EUR 23.4m compared with EUR 22.6m in restated H1 2016. Currency fluctuations impacted EBIT positively by EUR 1.2m during first half year.
Net profit for H1 2017 was EUR 16.9m compared with EUR 16.9m in restated H1 2016.
At 30 June 2017, EUR 268m of the 2017 revenue had been contractually secured, EUR 33m more than at the same time last year.
SimCorp maintains its expectations for reported revenue growth between 9% and 14% measured in local currency for 2017, including 2% growth from the acquisition of APL Italiana (previously, before the acquisition, revenue growth was expected to be between 7% and 12%). As Professional Services are now expected to constitute a larger part of total revenue, the expectations for EBIT margin measured in local currencies is expected to be between 24% and 27% (previously 25% and 28%). The acquisition of APL Italiana is not expected to have a material impact on the EBIT margin.

“Following the closing of the books for the first six month, we have welcomed two new SimCorp Dimension clients: one in Denmark and one in APAC.”
Other highlights of the interim report for the first six months of 2017 are:
Total order intake from new licenses and add-on licenses for the first six months was EUR 16.5m compared with EUR 24.8m in H1 2016. Q2 order intake was EUR 10.9m compared with EUR 13.9m in Q2 2016. Income recognized from new subscription licenses and add-on licenses including renewal of subscriptions was EUR 19.9m, an increase of 4.7% compared with restated H1 2016.
The sale of professional services continued to be strong and grew 21.7% to EUR 56.0m when compared with same period last year.
Maintenance income was EUR 68.5m, an increase of 8.3% from H1 2016.
Total operating cost for the six months was EUR 124.9m, an increase of 14.8% compared with the same period in 2016. Currency fluctuations reduced costs by EUR 1.0m (0.9%-points). The cost increase primarily reflects additional resources to meet the demand for professional services.
The lower cash flow from operating activities was EUR 25.6m compared with EUR 32.3m in H1 2016. The lower cash flow of EUR 6.7m is related to the change from perpetual license agreement to subscription based agreement and higher payment of income taxes.
SimCorp has from 2017 chosen to make an early adoption of IFRS15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ by recognizing a cumulative effect of EUR 20.9m as an opening balance increase to equity at 1 January 2017. Q2, H1 and full year 2016 results have been restated to IFRS15 for illustrative purposes and to improve transparency. The early adoption of IFRS15 will reduce the financial reporting impact of whether customers choose to acquire SimCorp’s Dimension on a perpetual license basis or on a subscription basis. In the opinion of the Board of Directors this reporting approach provides an improved basis for assessing the ongoing performance of the company.
SimCorp will initiate a new share buyback program of EUR 7.5m to be executed in the period from 24 August 2017 to 31 December 2017.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 54.400.690 von R-BgO am 24.02.17 09:18:32SimCorp grows revenue 19.3% in Q1 2017 and wins a new client in North America
Summary
Q1 reported revenue was in accordance with early adoption of IFRS15 EUR 73.1m, an increase of 19.3% when compared with restated Q1 2016*, and an increase of 18.5% when measured in local currencies.
EBIT for the three-month period was EUR 10.2m, compared with EUR 7.5m in restated Q1 2016. Currency fluctuations impacted EBIT positively by EUR 0.8m during the quarter.
Net profit for Q1 2017 was EUR 7.5m compared with EUR 5.8m in restated Q1 2016.
At 31 March 2017, contracts equaling EUR 237m of the projected 2017 revenue had been secured compared with EUR 202m at the same time in 2016. The Group’s pipeline of potential license contracts supports the expected growth in revenue.
SimCorp maintains its expectations for revenue growth and EBIT margin measured in local currencies for 2017. Revenue growth measured in local currencies is still expected to be between 7% and 12%, and the expectation for EBIT margin measured in local currencies remains between 25% and 28%.
Klaus Holse, SimCorp CEO, comments: “The first quarter was a solid quarter for SimCorp. We are pleased to welcome a new client in the important North American market, and we are satisfied with our growing business with existing clients. Professional services are seeing substantial increases as the number of new implementations grows, and we continue to see clients successfully going live, which drives the significant growth in maintenance.”

SimCorp’s Board of Directors today reviewed and approved the Group’s interim report for the three months ended 31 March 2017. Highlights of the report are:
Total order intake from new SimCorp Dimension licenses and add-on licenses for the first three months of the year was EUR 5.6m. This is EUR 5.3m lower than in the same period last year, which had an unusually strong order intake as a number of contracts were delayed from Q4 2015. At 31 March 2017, the order book amounted to EUR 12.8m, a decrease of EUR 3.2m when comparing with restated order book at 31 December 2016.
Income recognized from new licenses and add-on licenses was EUR 9.3m for the first three months, an increase of 27.9% compared with restated Q1 2016.
Sales of professional services continue to develop positively and grew 30.9% to EUR 27.9m when compared with the same period last year.
Maintenance income was EUR 34.4m, an increase of 9.7% from Q1 2016.
Total cost for the three months ending 31 March 2017, was EUR 63.0m, an increase of 17.0% compared with Q1 2016. The cost increase related primarily to building capacity for meeting the growth in business activities.
Cash flow from operating activities was EUR 25.6m compared with EUR 21.5m in Q1 2016.
SimCorp has chosen to make an early adoption of IFRS15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ by recognizing the cumulative effect of EUR 20.9m as an opening balance increase to equity at 1 January 2017. Q1 and full year 2016 results have been restated to IFRS15 for illustrative purposes and to improve transparency. The early adoption of IFRS15 will reduce the financial impact of whether customers choose to acquire SimCorp’s Dimension on a perpetual license basis or on a subscription basis. In the eyes of the board of directors this reporting approach will provide an improved basis for assessing the ongoing performance of the company.
