Q3 2018 revenues showed sharp growth, with consolidated third quarter revenues amounting to €31.2 million, up 40% including 8% like-for-like growth versus Q3 2017 (2% like-for-like growth in H1 2018). Both existing consolidated companies and recent acquisitions made a strong contribution to this growth surge.

  • The Integration division reverted to more sustained growth, posting Q3 revenues up 15% from the previous year, including 4% like-for-like growth (1% growth in H1 2018).
    The SOLIDWORKS division, which achieved modest growth of 3% (down 3% at constant consolidation), continues to suffer from the decline in 3-year contract renewals, despite an improvement versus H1. Commercial conquest in France posted double-digit growth.
    3DEXPERIENCE sales continued to accelerate, with marked like-for-like Q3 growth of 21%.
  • The Software division recorded another quarter of strong growth, with revenues up 43% including 27% like-for-like growth (versus 14% H1 growth after adjustment for the major insurance licence contract signed in Q1 2017).
    This robust performance was driven by strong growth in the licensing business (49% growth in SaaS), reflecting the complementary and appropriate positioning of the offers marketed via the Moovapps platform. 
  • The Consulting division formed from the ABGI Group business lines continued to enhance the business mix and posted Q3 revenues of €4.4 million, up 42% versus Q3 2017 when it was not yet consolidated in the Visiativ Group.
    These figures vindicate the merits of Visiativ's acquisition, illustrating the sales synergies generated with the rest of the Group which augur well for this business line in France and abroad.

9-month recurring revenues (maintenance, SaaS and subscriptions) totalled €54.3 million, up 24%. These business lines' share of total revenues is growing steadily, now standing at 57% at the end of September, compared with 56% a year earlier.

2018 outlook

This strong third quarter performance allows the Group to confirm its target of 2018 consolidated full-year revenues of over €155 million, including nearly €30 million generated by the Software division (up 38%) and entailing total Group year-on-year growth of over 25%.

Visiativ remains confident that 2018 will turn out to be yet another year of profitable growth.
