With €81.1 million in revenue, the group recorded 6% organic growth over the past fiscal year driven mainly by its dynamic strategic SaaS business (up 14%). Leading growth areas for the financial year were Russia (+60%) and the Iberian Peninsula (+15%), in line with the company’s international deployment strategy. The share of recurring revenue (SaaS & Maintenance) came to 64% over the past financial year. It is also worth noting that non-contractual recurring business in most of part of Consulting Services contributes also to the revenue resilience in the current context.
While January and February were in line with the dynamics of the third quarter of the financial year, March was impacted by the COVID-19 induced crisis. Hence growth for the fourth quarter of the year came in at 2% supported by the positive trend in Consulting Services (up 14%), especially internationally. The Consulting Services business grew significantly in North America, Portugal, the Benelux and in Russia. The SaaS business grew by 1% given an unfavorable baseline effect (growth of 28% over the same quarter last year). The license business (down 34%) was marked by delayed signings in North America, mainly late in the quarter due to the changing public health context in this region.
New SaaS contracts for Q4: €1.2 million

- Delayed signings late in the quarter, especially in Europe, due to COVID-19.
Over the financial year, the Group recorded €3.5 million in new contracts won, ensuring that CMRR* was up by 7.4%.
The Generix Group benefits from its very loyal customer base ensuring that the attrition rate always remains a very low one.
Prospects
In line with our announcement on March 31, 2020, the public health crisis does not impact our financial targets for financial year 2019/2020. On the strength of savings made in variable costs and thanks to closely controlling its cost structure, the Group can confirm the improvement in its Ebitda rate, excluding the impact of the IFRS 16 standard for the financial year 2019/2020.
The Group also maintained on March 31, 2020 and to date, a reassuring cash flow situation and has, for example, triggered the measures made available by its banks to suspend loan repayments so as to be able to face any uncertainties relating to the public health crisis over the next two quarters.
* Monthly recurring revenue after taking into account contracts that are signed but which have not started yet and cancel-lations that have not yet taken effect.
