2013 First Quarter Revenue: +33%
Strong Growth in SaaS Revenue: +76%
Chicago, IL, USA and Toulouse, France, April 24, 2013
Cameleon Software (FR0000074247), the global leader in multi-channel, multi-device product configurator, quotes, proposals and eCommerce software, today announced its provisional revenue for Q1 2013.
| (? Millions) | Q1 2013 | Q1 2012 | % |
| Software revenue | 1.29 | 1.27 | 2% |
| Services revenue | 1.27 | 0.66 | 92% |
| Total Q1 Revenue | 2.56 | 1.93 | 33% |
| (Provisional - unaudited) |
Provisional consolidated revenue totals ?2.56M for Q1 2013, vs. ?1.93M for Q1 2012, representing +33% growth. Activity is on a positive trend in the US, with a 41% growth rate over the period. The order book (perpetual licenses + SaaS) amounted to ?6.44M at March 31, 2013, vs. ?5.61M at March 31, 2012.
Note that over the quarter there was strong sales activity in SaaS projects, driven by European and US key accounts.
There was strong momentum in the Services business, buoyed up by the contracts signed at the start of this year and in 2012: the SaaS model is generating more services revenue than the traditional OnPremises, as customers are looking to outsource implementation services to suppliers.
The provisional breakeven for fiscal 2013 is around ?11M.
Jacques Soumeillan, CEO of Cameleon Software, has explained that "2013 is starting off well. As expected, the transitioning of the business model towards Software as a Service (SaaS) picked up pace in Europe and most new contracts are now based on this model. This shift will generate medium-term value as it will very much improve revenue visibility and our earnings outlook will be more secure. The current requests for quotations are also showing that our position as a leading provider of CPQ (Configure Price Quote) solutions to key accounts is being confirmed in Europe and the US. The strength of our financial and cash positions also ensures that we have the necessary resources to roll out our business development strategy to these customers".
