REVENUE UP 7% IN Q1 2023


  • Organic growth in ARR doubled to €30.0m

  • +20% growth in the CONSULTING business

  • Continued momentum in international business: +25%

 

Lyon, 25 April 2023 – 6:00 p.m. Visiativ, a digital transformation and innovation expert for small and medium-sized businesses, is listed on Euronext Growth in Paris (FR0004029478, ALVIV).

 

Visiativ achieved consolidated revenue of €59.4m in Q1 2023, up 7%. At constant scope and exchange rates, organic growth was -4%. As a reminder, Q1 2022 was characterised by growth of 27% (+21% organic), notably for the SOFTWARE business (+35% of growth o/w +30% organic), representing a high basis for comparison at the start of the 2023 financial year.

The stability of the SOFTWARE business in Q1 2023 masks the strong increase in SaaS subscriptions – more than doubling (+125%) and now accounting for +20% of SOFTWARE sales versus less than 10% in Q1 2022.

At end-March 2023, ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) totalled €30.0m, up 130% from end-March 2022 (+100% organic) and representing sequential growth of 9% compared to the previous quarter.

The CONSULTING business posted sustained growth, up 20% in Q1 2023 (+4% in organic terms), driven by the dynamics of innovation.

Recurring business, which represented 67% of revenue, was up 11% in Q1 2023 (+1% in organic terms).

In line with FY 2022, international business continued to propel the Visiativ's growth with €21.5m of revenue now achieved outside France, i.e. growth of 25% (+5% organic) which accounted for 36% of total revenue.

 

 €m – Unaudited data as of 31/03 Q1 2022 Q1 2023 Change Organic change[1]
SOFTWARE 34.5 34.1 -1% -9%
o/w SaaS subscriptions 3.2 7.2 +125% +52%
CONSULTING 21.1 25.3 +20% +4%
TOTAL REVENUE 55.6 59.4 +7% -4%
o/w International revenue 17.2 21.5 +25% +5%
As a % 31% 36%    
o/w Recurring revenue 35.9 39.7 +11% +1%
As a % 65% 67%    

 

The SOFTWARE business reported stable revenue in Q1 2023 (-1% in reported terms, -9% in organic terms). As a reminder, sales to industry were particularly buoyant in Q1 2022 (notably licence sales).

During the period, SaaS (Software as a Service) revenues surged +125% (+52% organic) – accounting for 21% of the SOFTWARE division's total revenue versus 13% on a full-year basis in 2022 – which reflects the robust growth in subscriptions, in line with Visiativ's strategic ambitions and the company's shift in focus to a SaaS sales model.

At end-March 2023, ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) totalled €30.0m versus slightly in excess of €13m at end-March 2022, i.e. an increase of 130% (+100% organic) and €27.4m at end-December 2022 which equates to sequential organic growth of 9%.

The CONSULTING business achieved growth of 20% in Q1 2023 (+4% organic), benefitting from the consolidation since 1st October 2022 of Absiskey, a strategy and innovation financing consultancy firm based in France and Poland.

In Q1 2023, recurring revenue (multi-year contracts, software maintenance, SaaS contracts and subscriptions) amounted to €39.7m, up 11% (+1% in organic terms) and representing 67% of Visiativ's total billings.

For Visiativ, international business remained a strategic growth driver in Q1 2023, with sales outside France up 25% (+5% at constant scope and exchange rates), thereby increasing the share of billings issued internationally to 36% of the company's total for the period, versus 30% in Q1 2022.

 

OUTLOOK

In an uncertain economic environment, for 2023, Visiativ will seek to strengthen the pillars of its development, namely to:

  • Strengthen the value proposition through the Visiativ Innovation Platform;
  • Consolidate the Visiativ Agora technology platform;
  • Develop the subscription model by capitalising on the software platform;
  • Continue the growth momentum in international business;
  • Accelerate growth by making further accretive acquisitions.
