The share of recurring revenues continued to increase (+€ 3.9m), reaching € 95.0m, that is 83% of total sales. This demonstrates the robustness of Linedata's business model, which promotes long-term revenue.

Performance analysis by segment:
ASSET MANAGEMENT (Q1: € 28.4M, +2.8%; Q2: € 27.0M, -7.3%; Q3: € 25.6M, -5.0%)
The Asset Management segment saw a slide of 3.2% over the first nine months of the year due to the health crisis.
Software sales came in at € 68.3m (-3.7%). The front office division is still performing well with a noticeable increase in order intake stemming from the first migrations of the installed base to the new AMP platform. Conversely, there was a decline in professional services revenues for back-office software with the postponement of some clients’ projects, particularly in Europe.
Services revenues were stable at € 12.6m with a favourable sales trend for middle and back-office outsourcing for asset managers. Order intake over the first three quarters was thus up 16.6%.
LENDING & LEASING (Q1: € 11.9M, - 4.2%; Q2: € 11.2M, -28.4%; Q3: € 11.1M, -16.2%)
Revenues of the Lending & Leasing segment to end September 2020 were down 17.2% vs. the same period in 2019, hit hard by the wait-and-see attitude caused by the crisis. This has mainly resulted in a fall in consulting and perpetual licenses.
With clients’ sites gradually reopening in Q3, sales discussions put on hold during the previous quarter were able to resume.
Outlook
The group expects business to pick up towards the end of the year with an increase in Q4 2020 revenues compared to the previous quarter.
Next announcement: Full-year 2020 sales on 9 February 2021, after trading.
