Third-quarter revenue:
VERIMATRIX posted revenue growth of 1% to $14.1m in Q3 2024,
compared to the same period last year.
Recurring revenue
Recurring revenue increased by 4% in Q3 2024, coming out at
$8.4m, up from $8.0m for the same period in 2023. Recurring revenue
accounted for 59.5% of total revenue in the third quarter, moving
towards VERIMATRIX’s previously announced target of nearly 70% by
the end of the 2025 financial year. Recurring revenue generated by
subscriptions continued to grow, rising 18% to $4.2m, compared with
$3.6m in Q3 2023. Recurring revenue generated by maintenance was
relatively stable at $4.2m in Q3 2024, versus $4.4m in Q3 2023
(-6%).
Non-recurring revenue
Non-recurring revenue slightly decrease by 4% to $5.7m. This
result is coming from strong resilience in license sales, driven by
the Group’s success with major operators in the Indian and Latin
American markets, and negatively (and similar to previous quarters)
from a steady decline in royalties on the deliveries of new set-top
boxes, in line with market trends. During the quarter, the Group
began implementing the project with Airtel, India’s number-two
telecom operator.
9-month revenue
In the first 9 months of the year, VERIMATRIX grew revenue by 1%
to $44.9m, vs $44.6m in the first 9 months last year.
Recurring revenue
The increase in recurring revenue is being fuelled by
subscription-based revenue, which rose 26% in the first 9 months to
$12.8m. Recurring revenue increased 11.0% to $25.4m despite a
slight decrease in maintenance-based revenue, down 1.5% to
$12.7m.
Non-recurring revenue
Non-recurring revenue for the first 9 months fell 10% to $19.5m.
License sales were stable in the first three quarters of the year
on solid momentum in Latin America and Asia. However, fees related
to the supply of new set-top boxes were down, consistent with the
Group’s forecasts.
Annual recurring revenue (ARR)
Total ARR at 30 September 2024 was $32.9m, up 10.4% compared
with 30 September 2023, and compared with $32.0m at 30 June 2024.
Subscription-based ARR continued to grow significantly, up 27% to
$17.5m, compared with $13.9m at 30 September 2023, and up 5% from
Q2 2024 ($16.8m). Sales momentum was extremely strong in the Middle
East and Latin America regions, with the signing of new contracts
that will drive recurring revenue growth in the coming years.
In 2024, VERIMATRIX is confirming that it expects its
Anti-Piracy activity (video content protection software) to
stabilize and its Extended Threat Defense (XTD) activity to post
strong growth. The Group expects subscription-based ARR to grow by
more than 20%. It aims to continuously improve EBITDA, through
growth in recurring revenue in the Group’s two activities, and to
control an essentially fixed expense structure.
