Hubwoo announces Q2 2014 Revenues

PARIS, July 31, 2014

Gregory A. Mark, Hubwoo Chairman and CEO commented: "We have made good progress this quarter in kicking off new customer engagements, continuing the global rollout and expansion of our solution footprint at existing customers, and increasing our global sales team organization by attracting and training world-class talent. We are currently living through a planned season of declining SaaS revenue whilst maintaining a close eye on earnings. Our expectations are that we will experience a turnaround on our top line performance in the not too distant future."

Q2 2014 total revenue was EUR 6.9 million, stable in comparison to Q1 2014. The recurring SaaS component of revenue was EUR 5.6 million, down from the same quarter of 2013 as a consequence of the end of customer contracts as part of the technology transition that the company has been experiencing over the last seven quarters.

The level of order intake of the first half, however, showed upward trending, and the company envisages to progressively offset these revenue losses in the next coming quarters. This is visible from the positive evolution of Services in Q2 in comparison to Q1 2014.

Advanced indicators show that, in spite of the revenue decline, the company will maintain over the first semester satisfactory levels of profitability, on Gross Margin, EBITDA (***) and EBIT. The full set of accounts for the first semester will be issued on August 28^th 2014.
