                Four consecutive years of double-digit growth is something the entire organization is hugely proud of, particularly in view of the challenging circumstances we’ve experienced since 2020. In 2021, our goal to help companies deliver their greatest Moment of Service™ also became a reality through our M&A strategy. We successfully integrated two companies into IFS and, since our acquisiton of Axios systems in June, have increased subscription bookings for IFS assyst by 236 percent compared to the same period in 2020. The numbers paint the picture of a strong and healthy business and I am particularly delighted that we are not compromising on any other metrics to achieve this level of sustained growth.

I am also really proud to see that a significant part our license revenue has come from new logos, customers who have moved away from their legacy vendor; this combined with our performance in recurring revenue points the performance of a very strong business. 2021 will be a hugely important year for IFS as we launch IFS Cloud on March 10th.

                Despite the economic headwinds presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, license revenue grew 39% compared to Q1 2019. Recurring revenues were also steady as customers depend on their IFS solutions to run their most mission critical business processes. On the back of this strong revenue development in Q1, EBITDA remains stable and is underpinned by ongoing initiatives to improve the IFS cost base. These initiatives support the short-term EBITDA performance while enabling our business to quickly rebound once the global lockdowns are eased. By taking prudent cost-control measures, we are building further resilience into the business, which we believe could see downward pressure through the next two quarters. Our ongoing focus remains fixed on taking precautions not only to protect our staff and community, but to ensure our customers continue to receive the stellar product, service and support they deserve.

                I am incredibly proud to lead the team that has delivered this impressive performance. Our employees clearly understand our focus, feel ownership of our progress, and stand united in a passion for our customers. Our differentiator is not that we talk about customer centricity, but that we commit to delivering customer value. The investments made last year into our product and partner enablement will benefit the company in the long-term and will have a positive impact for our customers – and our own business – in 2020 and beyond.

                The success of our business transformation is apparent as Q3 now marks our sixth straight quarter of growth above 20 percent. Over the last 18 months, we’ve gone from being a fragmented global business to a fast-growing organization operating globally at scale. All the while, we’ve never lost sight of our commitment to providing the best experience for our customers, which remains our guiding principle.

                Our topline growth does not come from extracting revenue from our installed base through tactics like compliance audits. On the contrary, we are winning half of our license revenues from new customers. I believe this speaks volumes about our ability to beat the larger legacy vendors with a proposition that offers what the others don’t: choice and a focus on real customer value.

                Reflecting on Q2 of this year, I’m simply blown away by what we accomplished together as we focused on delivering sensible solutions to our customers. IFS is the only vendor of scale in our sector that stands on a principle of choice, providing an experience free from ultimatums. Now that we see what this IFS is truly capable of, expectations for the second half of the year remain high and I am pleased to have increased our guidance for the remainder of the year to deliver 2019 revenues of $711 million, or 6.35 billion SEK, an increase that represents a 21% increase year-on-year.

                Our customer obsession continues to drive our financial results as we once more massively outpace the market, and our numbers speak for themselves. As the fastest growing ERP company of scale, we are well positioned to capture a much bigger piece of the market in 2019 and beyond. Customers no longer accept the annual audits, the made-up compliance tricks, or the upgrade ultimatums, which have become the new normal. Quite simply, customers are realizing IFS is a better alternative.
