Business operations

QPR Software´s mission is to make customers agile and efficient in their operations. We innovate, develop, and sell software aimed at analyzing, monitoring, and modeling operations in organizations. Furthermore, we offer customers a variety of consulting services.

OUTLOOK

Operating environment and market outlook

In recent years, QPR Software has made significant investments in developing the Company´s process mining software, as well as in renewing the user interfaces of its software products. The Company estimates that the demand for process mining software and related services will continue to grow rapidly over the course of 2020.

In developed markets, we expect the competition for process and enterprise architecture modeling software, as well as for performance management software to remain tight. However, there is still growth potential for these products in emerging markets, especially for performance management software.

Outlook for 2020

Customers postponed software purchase decisions in the second quarter due to uncertainties related to the coronavirus pandemic, which led to a 77% reduction in new software license sales. Several significant software license deals were postponed to the second half of the year.

Outlook published on February 27, 2020 remains intact

Based on actual sales performance in early 2020 and current sales funnel, QPR expects net sales to grow in 2020 (2019: EUR 9,513 thousand). The most significant sources of growth are international process mining and performance management software sales and deliveries. Operating result (EBIT) is estimated to be negative (2019: -213 thousand) due to planned increase in European sales personnel and growth investments in software products. EBITDA is expected to be positive (2019: EUR 1,036 thousand).

Mid-term financial targets

The Company´s mid-term target in 2020 – 2022 is to grow net sales by an average of 15 – 20% per annum. The target is mainly based on international net sales growth in process mining, where we target an annual growth of over 50%.

REVIEW BY THE CEO

The most important target for us this year is to grow our international software business. After investments in recent years into our software products, we now focus on growing of our international direct sales and building new strategic partnerships. Although the coronavirus pandemic will continue to have negative effects on our international software business in the short term, current outlays into growth are justified and will create long term value.

In the second quarter, we recruited new sales resources in European key markets, such as the United Kingdom and France. We continue to strengthen also our product development resources this year. Great user experience, high performance and excellent cloud service scalability remain our priorities.

In March, our personnel was moved almost fully into remote work due to coronavirus pandemic, and this transition was very smooth. The results of our product development are excellent and we have been able to proceed as planned. The biggest negative effects from the lock-down caused by the pandemic were in new software sales. Many customers decided to postpone their software purchases to the autumn, due to uncertainties related to the pandemic. This weakened significantly the results of the second quarter. Consulting projects and software deliveries, however, proceeded as planned and net sales in this business area increased by 14%.

As lock-down restrictions are being eased, we plan to come back to our workplaces in the offices in August and September. However, this will be done gradually, and with the necessary precautionary measures.

April - June 2020

Net sales in the second quarter were EUR 2,041 thousand (2,285). The share of recurring revenue was 48% of net sales (47).

New software license net sales amounted to EUR 79 thousand (341) and decreased by 77% as customers postponed software purchase decisions to the autumn, due to uncertainties related to the coronavirus pandemic. Renewable software license net sales were EUR 121 thousand (190), due to lower sales in Finland and in international channel sales.

Software maintenance net sales were EUR 587 thousand (639) and decreased by 8% mainly due to a decrease in international channel maintenance net sales.

Cloud services net sales increased to EUR 273 thousand (254), despite temporary service pauses that were agreed with some customers that had to cope with the hardest negative impacts from the coronavirus pandemic. Consulting net sales, including software deliveries, amounted to EUR 981 thousand (861) and increased by 14%. Consulting projects and agreed software deliveries proceeded in the second quarter thus mainly as planned, despite the pandemic.

Net sales in Finland decreased by 2% and international net sales by 20%. The decrease in international net sales was due to a decline in new software as described earlier in this report. Of the Group net sales, 57% (52) derived from Finland, 27% (33) from the rest of Europe (including Russia and Turkey) and 16% (15) from the rest of the world.

January - June 2020

Net sales in January – June were EUR 4,830 thousand (5,033) and decreased by 4%. The share of recurring revenue was 48% of net sales (50).

Net sales in Finland decreased by 5%, which was due to lower new software license sales. International net sales were close to last year´s level (-2%) and were impacted by the strong software license sales increase in the first quarter, and on the other hand by the decline in license sales caused by the pandemic in the second quarter.

Of the Group net sales, 53% (54) derived from Finland, 26% (33) from the rest of Europe (including Russia and Turkey) and 21% (13) from the rest of the world.

April - June 2020

The Group´s earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were EUR -60 thousand (153) and operating result (EBIT) was EUR -384 thousand (-158).

QPR decided to start in June a new Digital delivery project that focuses on planning and developing a new digital business model. In this project, we are researching new models to fully deliver and deploy on-premise software digitally and remotely. This new digital business model is developed in the Middle Eastern market by creating a strategy monitoring software pilot. The pilot will include, among other things, digital workflows and approvals of strategy and performance management measures. Business Finland decided to grant this project EUR 100 thousand direct funding from their Covid-19 related program for business development in disruptive circumstances.

For incentive purposes, the Company has a bonus program that covers all employees. Short term remuneration of the top management consists of salary, fringe benefits, and a possible annual bonus based mainly on the Group and business unit net sales performance. Furthermore, the Company launched a key employee stock option plan in 2019.

STRATEGY

Our target is to grow our net sales by an average of 15 – 20% per annum over the next three years. The target is mainly based on growth in international software sales. We foresee significant growth potential especially in the process mining business, where we aim for an annual growth of more than 50%.

We innovate, develop and sell software and related services aimed at analyzing, measuring and modeling operations in organizations. Furthermore, we offer customers consulting services in operational development and digital business optimization.

We will further accelerate product development by increasing our resources in a controlled manner. In software development, we place special focus on excellent user experience. We focus our product development to meet the challenges our client organizations face, especially in leading and developing their operations in a digitalizing world. A special focus area for development is process mining.

In the next few years, we seek growth especially in our international software sales. To reach this target, we will continue to increase our resources and investments in international marketing and sales.

We also actively seek strategic partnerships to strengthen our international software sales and product development.

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

This report complies with requirements of IAS 34 ”Interim Financial Reporting”. Starting from the beginning of 2020, the Group has applied certain new or revised IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations, as described in the Consolidated Financial Statements 2019. The implementation of these new and revised requirements has not impacted the reported figures. For all other parts, the accounting principles and methods are the same as they were in the 2019 financial statements.

When preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions regarding the future and to consider the appropriate application of accounting principles, which means that actual results may differ from those estimated.

All amounts presented in this report are consolidated figures, unless otherwise noted. The amounts presented in the report are rounded, so the sum of individual figures may differ from the sum reported. This report is unaudited.
