→ Annual revenue expected at €285.5 million
→ Operating margin on business activity of at least 11.0% of
revenue confirmed
Regulatory News:
In compliance with Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014, Axway
(Euronext: AXW.PA) is adjusting its annual revenue forecast for the
2021 financial year. Although Axway is able to confirm its annual
profitability target of an operating margin on business activity of
at least 11.0% of its revenue, the company announced today that the
total revenue will not meet the expected organic growth.
While the company was anticipating organic revenue growth of
between 2.0 and 4.0% in 2021, preliminary estimates, which have not
yet been finalized or audited, suggest that annual revenues will be
in the order of €285.5 million, representing an organic decline of
approximately 2.7%.
After growing by 2.0% over the first nine months of the year,
Axway's activity declined by 13.5% in Q4 2021. Over the period,
several deals have seen their schedules postponed or their budgets
reallocated. Some major clients and prospects, exposed to
significant recruitment difficulties in their IT and administrative
teams, did not launch the expected projects. These labour shortages
could continue through fiscal year 2022.
Patrick Donovan, Axway's Chief Executive Officer, said:
“Over the past year, our teams have worked extremely hard in
challenging conditions to best serve our customer’s needs. While
all regions started Q4 with visibility to achieve our forecast, we
faced similar challenges in our different markets due to budget
cuts or staffing difficulties at several important clients. I
remain confident in our ability to deliver significant value to our
customers through our solutions and we will continue to do so in
these tough times, while preparing for their return to normal
business levels."
As planned, the details of the 2021 annual results will be
published on February 22, 2022, after the stock market close and
will be commented on the same evening during a presentation to
analysts scheduled at 6:30pm (UTC +1).
However, to provide early analysis of the company's performance
in Q4 2021, Axway's management team will hold
a conference call tomorrow morning, Thursday, January 20, 2022, at
8:00 a.m. (UTC+1).
