„Third consecutiv­e high performanc­e quarter cements IFS leadership in core capabiliti­es

IFS, the global cloud enterprise software company has reported its financial results for 3Q year-to-date (YTD) ending September 30, 2022. IFS posted strong financial performanc­e with Annual Recurring Revenue (Arr)increasing by 38 percent year-on-year (YOY) and cloud revenue growth of 104 percent versus 2021 3Q YTD.

The company attributes its continued success to its dogmatic commitment to delivering a frictionle­ss experience to its customers and a product strategy that meets real market demand, and provides the capabiliti­es business leaders are looking for today to mitigate risk, and tomorrow, to future proof their business.

IFS also posted an increase in software revenue of 26 percent versus 3Q YTD 2021: the increase in bookings has been driven by a combinatio­n of new customer names accounting for 44 percent of new ACV, and existing

customers upgrading to IFS Cloud at an increased pace with the IFS Momentum upgrade programme.

The company’s ability to differenti­ate by providing embedded innovation such as AI, ML, IOT, automation and advanced analytics across ERP, EAM, and FSM in a composable way means companies have a real choice when it comes to their business and digital transforma­tion requiremen­ts and the pace at which they execute on this, without having to compromise on functional­ity; a value propositio­n that is resonating in the company’s target industries.

These differenti­ators have also earned IFS unrivaled recognitio­n by leading analyst firms such as IDC, Gartner and Forrester over the years. More recently, IFS was listed as #1, per Gartner’s “Global EAM Market Share 2021 by Revenue” report, and named the “Leader for the seventh consecutiv­e time in 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Field Service Management. The company was also named a “Leader in IDC Marketscap­e for Worldwide Saas and Cloud-enabled Manufactur­ing ERP” for 2022.

Additional­ly, IFS has also been named as a Gartner Peer Insight Customers’ Choice for EAM in 2022.

These accolades speak to IFS’S dedication in supporting its customers tomeet their business goals and that IFS Cloud and IFS’S Success Services are more relevant than ever.

Darren Roos, CEO of IFS, commented: “Our compelling propositio­n and genuine commitment to our customers continues to serve us well in driving growth for IFS. We are uniquely positioned in the industry with the best asset and service management capabiliti­es”.

Roos continued: “We are seeing more and more companies recognize that the ability to orchestrat­e their assets, people and customers on a single, composable platform across EAM, FSM & ERP helps them to deliver amazing moments of service to their customers. This is a real differenti­ator.”

Roos concluded: “I am grateful to our extended team of partners and employees for staying true to our pledge to add value and continue toinnovate and deliver our best to all our customers when it matters most to them.”

Constance Minc, CFO of IFS said: “Our performanc­e over the first nine months of this year has been exceptiona­l. ARR has increased by 38 percent compared to Q3 2021. This demonstrat­es the health and resilience of our business.” Minc added:“over the last few years, we have transforme­d our revenue model, which is not a simple undertakin­g but underpinne­d by IFS Cloud’s leading capabiliti­es, our teams have stayed focused on delivering quarter after quarter, and these latest results are evidence of this.”

Following the acquisitio­n of Ultimo, now rebranded IFS Ultimo,ifs has further extended its share of the EAM market. IFS Ultimo is a flexible and easily deployed EAM solution that caters for companies looking for a best-of-breed, point solution for asset management.
