• VISIATIV PLATFORM up 3%

• 3DEXPERIENCE VAR down 12%

• Recurring revenue up 6%

Lyon, 21 October 2020 – 6.00 pm. The Visiativ group, which creates digital platforms for corporate transformation, is listed on Euronext Growth in Paris (FR0004029478, ALVIV).

In the third quarter of 2020, Visiativ had consolidated revenue of €36.2M, down 14% (down 15% on a like-for-like basis and with constant exchange rate). The Covid-19 health crisis continues to have an impact on companies, which are delaying investment decisions. During the first nine months of its 2020 financial year, Visiativ recorded consolidated revenue of €118.7M€, down 6% (down 8% in terms of organic revenue).

Recurring revenue rose by 6%, and now accounts for 68% of total revenue over the first nine months of 2020. International activity grew by 4%, making up 25% of business as of the end of September. These increases have dampened the effects of the crisis and show the Group's resilience.

Performance by division

• 3DEXPERIENCE VAR (value-added reseller), which combines activities linked to the integration of the Dassault Systèmes solutions, recorded a fall of 12% over the nine months (down 13% on a like-for-like basis and with constant exchange rate).
  In the wake of the previous quarter, the Group recorded a fall in new licence sales, as a result of companies delaying investment decisions. Maintenance renewals continued to grow, a sign of continued activity in design offices.

• VISIATIV PLATFORM, which posted nine-month revenue up 3% (down 1% in terms of organic revenue) confirmed its resilience in the third quarter.
  Although the applications business (Moovapps) fell by 5% during the third quarter, business was more sustained than in the second quarter (down 12%). Business development activities (cloud, IT outsourcing, rapid manufacturing) were down 5% at the end of September.
  Conversely, consulting (innovation, operational excellence and transformation) continued to grow in the third quarter (up 10%), boosted by "tax credit management" activities.
  The increasing number of consulting assignments ("GRAND R") shows how company leaders want to speed up their digital transformation projects.

Recurring revenue, up 6% (or 3% in terms of organic revenue) during the first nine months, continues to grow and accounts for 68% of the Group's activity at the end of September (compared with 60% at the end of September 2019).

Internationally, Visiativ's nine-month revenue rose by 4% (down 1% for organic revenue), with the United States and the United Kingdom both doing well. Business outside France accounts for 25% of the Group's total activity (compared with 23% a year earlier).
