Commenting on the results, Temenos CEO David Arnott said:

"This was an outstanding quarter for Temenos. We saw great momentum across the whole business, in all geographies and market segments with both new and existing customers. On top of this, the Nordea deal is a landmark for the company. It demonstrates the superiority of our business model, including our packaged software solutions and local presence, as well as the traction we are building with our global partners and a growing appetite for large banks to replace their core systems.

Our key initiatives in the US, partnering for Tier 1 accounts and disruptive and very compelling product roadmap, coupled with a clear recovery in our end markets leaves us very well positioned for the coming quarters and years."

Commenting on the results, Temenos CFO Max Chuard said:

"We had very strong top line growth in Q3, with total non-IFRS software license revenues up 95%, of which software licensing was up 69%. The strength of our business model with leading, upgradeable packaged software solutions is enabling us to capitalise on improving market conditions. With the license growth and pipeline generation in Q3, our revenue visibility in 2016 and the medium term has substantially increased. Our cash flow generation remains consistently above our target of 100% of EBITDA."
