- Mix of Cloud revenue up 55% YoY and ARR up 55% YoY signal robust forward performance.
- Software revenue up 44% YoY as IFS continues to lead in ERP, EAM, FSM and ESM.
LONDON, July 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — IFS, the global cloud enterprise software company, today announced its financial results for the first half of 2023 ending June 30th, with annual recurring revenue up a significant 55 percent year on year, cloud revenue up 55 percent and software revenue up 44 percent representing a 79 percent share of total revenue.
Despite the continued challenges posed by high inflation and monetary policy tightening, companies are further investing in technology. That said, with cloud, VR, RPA and IoT technology capabilities now seen as staple, the AI capability which IFS brings, embedded, natively to our customers is becoming a significant differentiator. This was confirmed in a recent IDC Info Brief* that indicated that capabilities that improve employee and asset productivity, build business resilience, and deliver faster time to value are more likely to secure the CFO’s share of wallet.
IFS’s roadmap remains firmly aligned to these trends with technology that accelerates intelligent insights and automation and optimizes people and assets. With AI well established throughout its automation, prediction, and optimization capabilities the company has seen a sharp increase in demand in H1 by both existing and new customers. As the new generation of AI matures, the company is set to accelerate innovation in this area and continue to deliver these capabilities in every new release.
Adding to the company’s H1 success, in June, IFS acquired Poka, extending its capabilities with connected worker technology to empower factory and field workers to work smarter, safer and drive productivity and efficiency. Poka’s customer base includes global brands such as Nestlé, Tetra Pak, Mars, Bosch and RioTinto. The acquisition positions IFS as the only vendor with leading ERP, EAM and FSM capabilities now able to digitally connect workers across the end-to-end value chain.
During his 5 years tenure at IFS, CEO Darren Roos’ north star has been to deliver what customers asked for. From exponentially growing the ecosystem to provide choice, to successfully integrating multiple acquisitions to add new capabilities. In that time, the company’s also completed its own transformation and shifted its products and services business model to now being fully subscription-based. The company’s H1 results show the dividends of this focus, with consistently high renewal rates across its products and services, combined with a notable increase in new customers.
IFS CEO Darren Roos commented: “These results are the culmination of 5 years of hard work in establishing our business as a thought leader and as a partner that has the agility to respond to the needs of its customers. Roos added: “We have consistently been able to adapt faster to market dynamics than much larger competitors. Our 37 percent, 5-year ARR CAGR, is a validation of our customer intimacy and focus,”. He concluded: “I am proud of the ongoing commitment from our employees and partners and of the trust customers have shown us. The success of our organic and inorganic growth strategies is evidenced by our results and by our rankings as leaders year after year by customers and analysts.”
IFS Chief Financial Officer, Matthias Heiden, commented: “The ongoing macro-economic challenges mean companies are thinking carefully about their technology investments and focus on what will help build business resilience. We see this reflected in the number of customers moving to IFS Cloud and in how customers are prioritizing when and where they extend their IFS footprint”. Heiden continued: “With annual recurring revenue up 55 percent year on year, software revenue up 44 percent Year on Year and our success services up 68 percent year on year, our H1 results are signals of a robust outlook.” Heiden concluded: “The traction we have seen in the US in the first half of the year points to solid market penetration and that the value IFS is delivering is resonating”.
Through its software and success services, IFS is making it possible for customers to buy and consume technology in the way that creates the most value for them, so they can deliver amazing Moments of Service™.
