(1) Revenue for Q1 2015/2016: including €140 K from buying GMI Connectivity on April 30, 2015 (please refer to the financial press release on April 30, 2015)
With revenues of €13.2 million, the Group recorded revenue growth of 8% during the past quarter, driven primarily by the SaaS business that continues to grow at a rate of close to 20%, following the same trend as during the previous quarters.
MORE THAN €13 M IN NEW SAAS CONTRACTS SIGNED DURING Q1 / THE SAAS BACKLOG WAS DOUBLED
| Quarter ended June 30 | Var. Q1 2015 vs Q1 2014 | |||
| Unaudited | 2015 | 2014 | 2013 | |
| New SaaS contract signing | 13 164 | 2 202 | 1 385 | 498% |
The first quarter of financial year 2015/2016 was marked by a set of very important signings, so much so that during the first three months of the financial year, the Group signed more new business than during the entire 2014/2015 financial year.
Once of these significant signings relates to the Supply Chain (GCS) business in logistics and transportation management, retained by a player in media distribution aiming to rationalize and pool their logistics IT system handling volumes of around one million lines of order preparation every day, and this at very short notice.
Another major signature during the past quarter was in the B2B (GCI) exchanges business and especially the Generix Collaborative Integration On Demand solution retained by a leading worldwide retailer to manage their exchanges with all of their suppliers, representing many million messages a month.
These new SaaS contracts signed run for an average of 5.2 years, so that the signatures recorded over the first quarter of fiscal 2015/2016 will, once the various deployments are completed, allow us to generate additional annual revenues of over 2.5 million euros, which is an increase of almost 20% in our annual SaaS revenues.
After already growing by more than 50% during fiscal 2014/2015, the SaaS backlog has more than doubled during the past quarter. This growth is the result of the signings made during the past quarter and an extension of the commitments made by customers.
BUYING GMI CONNECTIVITY / SHORT TERM FINANCING
The quarter was also marked by buying GMI Connectivity on April 30, 2015. A software vendor active in the market for dematerializing exchanges between companies, it represents revenues worth close to a million euros.
Lastly, during the past quarter, the Group secured short term financing instruments from its banking partners worth 6.5 million euros repayable on March 31, 2016, so that the Group can cover the seasonal aspect of its cashflow needs.
*SaaS backlog: Firm orders received in SaaS spread over several years which are not recognized in revenue yet
