Software AG (Frankfurt MDAX: SOW) today pre-announced its financial figures (IFRS, preliminary) for Q2 2019 per ad hoc release. In the first full quarter since the announcement of the Helix transformation strategy, the business delivered strong Group-level performance, with overall revenue and profit in line with expectations for the second Quarter. The Group made strong progress in its strategic Helix pillars of Focus, Execution and Team during the period, allocating R&D resources to the areas of greatest opportunity, transitioning the business towards subscription sales, growing the Groups partner ecosystem and delivering strong new logo success. These activities led to strong growth in important strategic area of Cloud and IoT, up 144% at constant currency year-on-year, while the Group’s Adabas and Natural (A&N) segment continued its strong performance trend from Q1. Performance in the Digital Business Platform (DBP) excluding IoT was not as strong as expected as a result of the ongoing reorganization of the Group’s North American business which is taking longer than first thought to implement. This has impacted performance however positive steps taken during the first half to address historic underinvestment, resolve disruption to customer relationships, manage attrition and refocus our approach on long-term customer relationships are now taking hold. With IoT and A&N performing as expected, the slower than anticipated DBP progress in H1 has led the Group to revise its full year DBP guidance, with the expectation that it will now deliver year-on-year revenue growth of between -6% to 0% within DBP in FY 2019. All other guidance ranges remain unchanged.

In the first quarter since the announcement of the Helix transformation strategy, the business delivered strong Group-level performance, slightly ahead of expectations for Revenue and comfortably ahead of expectations for EBIT. Software AG’s revenue mix continues to reflect trends seen in Q4 2018, with a higher proportion of revenue than expected in the Adabas & Natural (A&N) segment. The Group’s Digital Business Platform (DBP, excluding Cloud & IoT) and Cloud & IoT segments performed less well than expected, as certain deals slipped beyond the end of the quarter and due to a reorganization of the salesforce in North America. The benefit of these actions is expected to show in the remainder of 2019 and beyond. During Q1, Adabas & Natural (A&N) outperformed market expectations, growing 22 percent to €54.7 million. DBP (excluding Cloud & IoT) delivered revenue of €90.5 million, while IoT and Cloud delivered revenue of €9.5 million. The outperformance of A&N has led the Group to modify its 2019 guidance for that segment, with the expectation that it will now deliver -3 to +3 percent revenue growth at constant currency (previously -5 to 0 percent).
