We have invested in our products and made significant operational changes in several key areas, to be ever closer and more responsive to our customers. We have strengthened the environment of mutual trust with our employees through transparent dialogue. We have delivered against our planned roadmap; we have regularly achieved our financial objectives and our products have gained market support. In other words, we have built a solid foundation for the future of our company! In 2021, we will concentrate on refining our customer-focused strategy and will continue to invest in our offerings to meet customers’ expectations. We will also continue to rigorously manage our product portfolio to maximize growth and returns according to our markets’ different maturity levels.”

Success of the transformation and new business model

In 2020, against the backdrop of a global pandemic, Axway finalized its 3-year transformation plan launched in 2018. Thanks to a focused API-based approach, Axway is now widely regarded as a market leader in hybrid integration. In a severely disrupted environment, the company continued to transform its business model towards subscription-based offerings to respond more effectively to the needs of its 11,000 customers.

Thanks to its action plan to address the COVID-19 global crisis, Axway was able to focus on providing the mission critical solutions and services necessary to its customers. Operationally, Axway rapidly adapted its sales, marketing, and customer engagement practices to succeed in the face of the restrictions imposed by the pandemic. Due to travel restrictions and the inability to bring together the various market stakeholders, all commercial events that usually pace the year were held virtually. The “Open Everything” campaign contributed successfully to the new business pipeline. In addition, Axway’s reputation has been reinforced by the recognition of its global leadership status and expertise in API management by the most influential independent research firms in the market.

Demonstrating an unprecedented level of satisfaction, customers continued to rely on Axway to modernize their systems and accelerate their digital transformation despite the highly disrupted environment. The flexibility of Amplify offers and overall, the resilience of the new business model and the robustness of Axway’s client portfolio enabled the company to maintain organic revenue growth over the year. Through active management, Axway also exceeded its profitability target by improving its operating margin on business activity by 19% over the period.

Axway has built its Amplify offering by leveraging the proven capabilities of its API Management Platform, enhanced with powerful integration tooling, support for complex organizational structures and integrations with its market leading MFT and B2B solutions. This differentiating expertise is at the heart of Axway’s strategy and will be an important growth driver in the next chapter of its history.

Comments on 2020 business activity and operating performance

In 2020, Axway generated revenue of €297.2 million, up 0.5% organically and down 0.9% in total. While the consolidation scope did not evolve, currency fluctuations had a negative impact of €4.1 million on annual company revenue, mainly due to the depreciation of the U.S. dollar and the Brazilian real against the euro. Profit on operating activities was €30.8 million, representing 10.4% of revenue compared to 8.6% in 2019.

Axway Software: Revenue by business line

Full-year 2020 (€m)	2020	2019 Restated*	2019 Reported	Total Growth	Organic Growth
License	25.8	52.2	52.8	– 51.2%	– 50.6%
Subscription	97.3	58.7	59.6	+ 63.2%	+ 65.8%
Maintenance	138.2	144.7	146.7	– 5.8%	– 4.5%
Services	36.0	40.2	40.8	– 11.9%	– 10.6%
Axway Software	297.2	295.8	300.0	– 0.9%	+ 0.5%

License revenue was €25.8 million in 2020 (9% of total revenue), an organic decrease of 50.6%. As anticipated and communicated in previous announcements, the License activity remained under strong pressure throughout 2020. While for more than 24-months the market trend has been very favourable for subscription models, the COVID-19 pandemic and the extremely limited visibility that has resulted from it have accelerated the adoption of the most flexible contractualization models by customers.

For the second consecutive year, Subscription activity was buoyant. Revenue grew organically by 65.8% in 2020, reaching €97.3 million. Total growth was 63.2%. Now accounting for one-third of company revenue, Subscription has, as expected, been Axway’s primary source of growth over the period. Despite the challenging market environment, Axway’s large and robust customer base has relied heavily on the agility of the company’s solutions to continue accelerating their digital transformation.

Over 2020, the Annual Contract Value (ACV) of new subscription contracts signed was €31.9 million, an increase of 79.7% compared to the previous year. While Axway enjoys its position as a leader in the full lifecycle API management market, the company has made its Amplify API offering the preferred route to benefit from hybrid integration. This trend was notably materialized by the signature of two major Amplify’s API contracts, worth several million euros each, by existing customers.

During the year, the Signature Metric² was up 15.2%, while the Net Signature Metric, restated for Maintenance attrition, grew 10.2%.

Maintenance revenue was €138.2 million in 2020, representing 46% of total revenue. The organic decrease was limited to 4.5% year-on-year. During the year, the acceleration in the adoption of the most flexible contractual models by customers led to a migration of the value of certain Maintenance activities to the Subscription revenue line.

Axway’s recurring revenue, which includes Subscription and Maintenance activities, represented 79% of total revenue, or €235.5 million. This includes €44.3m of upfront revenues recognized on the signature of subscription contracts.

Services saw revenue decline by 10.6% organically in 2020 to €36.0 million (12% of total revenue). Directly impacted by travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 crisis in certain regions where services are provided on-site at clients’ facilities, the activity grew slightly in the US where remote services are common practice.

Axway Software: Revenue by geographic area

Full-year 2020 (€m)	2020	2019 Restated*	2019 Reported	Total Growth	Organic Growth
France	93.5	86.4	86.4	+ 8.2%	+ 8.2%
Rest of Europe	62.3	67.1	67.3	– 7.3%	– 7.1%
Americas	125.3	126.2	129.8	– 3.5%	– 0.7%
Asia/Pacific	16.1	16.1	16.5	– 2.3%	+ 0.3%
Axway Software	297.2	295.8	300.0	– 0.9%	+ 0.5%

France generated revenue of €93.5 million over the year (32% of total revenue), representing organic growth of 8.2%. The sharp decline in license sales was largely offset by the exponential growth in the country’s Subscription business, which grew by more than 264% in 2020. This excellent performance was made possible by the signature of five subscription contracts with a value of over one million euros each over the year.

Rest of Europe, with revenue of €62.3 million (21% of total revenue), declined 7.1% organically in 2020. In all countries in the region, the very good momentum in Subscription activity (+75.8%) was not enough to stabilize revenue for the year. Axway has been impacted by the paralysis of several key sectors of the economy where large clients are major players. On the positive side, in 2020, the company regained position in the United Kingdom with the establishment of a new team that has been instrumental in several key wins against direct competitors on the API market.

The Americas (USA & Latin America) generated revenue of €125.3 million (42% of total revenue) in 2020, almost stable organically (-0.7%) compared to the previous year. Although license sales were down in the region over the year, they were more resilient than in the rest of the world. As in the other geographic areas, Subscription was the fastest growing activity over the year.

In Asia/Pacific, Axway posted yearly revenue of €16.1 million (5% of total revenue), representing organic growth of 0.3%. Despite significant disparities in the level of activity over the different quarters, sales finally improved slightly over the year.

Comments on 2020 net profit

Profit from recurring operations as well as Operating profit reached €17.6 million in 2020, 5.9% of revenue, including allocated intangible asset amortization expense of €8.2 million and non-cash stock expense of €5.1 million.

Income tax expense for the year totalled €5.1 million, an effective tax rate of 37.5%.

Axway’s net profit amounted to €8.5 million for the year, or 2.9% of revenue, an increase of 57% compared to 2019.

Finally, basic earnings per share was €0.40 in 2020 compared to €0.25 a year earlier.

Financial position at December 31, 2020

At December 31, 2020, Axway had a solid financial position, with cash of €16.2 million and bank debt of €40.2 million.

Free cash flow was stable over the year and amounted to €-0.7 million in 2020 compared to €0.6 million in 2019.

At December 31, 2020, shareholders’ equity amounted to €355.5 million compared to €362.6 million a year earlier.

As a reminder, at the beginning of 2019, Axway renegotiated its bank lines until 2026, thereby securing financing of up to €125.0 million.

Change in the workforce

At December 31, 2020, Axway had 1,888 employees, a stable headcount compared to the previous year.

Proposed dividend for financial year 2020

At its upcoming Annual General Meeting scheduled for May 25, 2021, Axway will ask shareholders to approve the distribution of a dividend with a value of €0.40 per share.

2021 Targets & Outlook

For 2021, Axway’s objective is to achieve organic growth of its revenue of between 2 and 4%. The company also aims to improve its profitability and has a target of achieving an operating margin on business activity rate between 11 and 13% of revenues in 2021.

Axway confirms its previously announced mid-term ambitions:

→ to achieve revenue of €500 million through organic growth in sales and acquisitions

→ to return to operating margin on business activity rates above 15% and gradually move towards 20%

→ to sustainably increase earnings per share to above €1

The company will detail its 2021-2023 strategic plan on its first Capital Market Meeting, scheduled to take place by the end of the first half of 2021.

Disclaimer

This press release contains forward-looking statements that may be subject to various risks and uncertainties concerning the Axway’s growth and profitability, notably in the event of future acquisitions. Axway highlights that signatures of license contracts, which often represent investments for customers, are more significant in the second half of the year and may therefore have a more or less favourable impact on full-year performance. In addition, Axway notes that potential acquisition(s) could also impact this financial data. Furthermore, activity during the year and/or actual results may differ from those described in this document as a result of a number of risks and uncertainties set out in the 2019 Universal registration document filed with the French Financial Markets Authority (Autorité des Marchés Financiers, AMF) on April 14, 2020 under number D.20-0289. The distribution of this document in certain countries may be subject to prevailing laws and regulations.

The 32-room and suite property maintains the welcoming feel of a private residence, and each accommodation offers a private outdoor space. The interior and exterior displays a natural color palate, in contrast with the pinks and greens synonymous with Palm Beach.

Designed by Oscar Garcia in tandem with visionary architectural firm Currie Sowards Aguila Architects, the fast-tracked plan entails first framing out the “shell” that will house all aspects of the expansion, giving priority to completing the stage, production support facilities and lobby to ensure that the theater can move seamlessly into its 2021-2022 season as planned. The Broadway-scale stage and production facilities will help it join the ranks of theaters such as La Jolla Playhouse and the Goodman Theatre.

APA BREAKING NEWS: ROSEN, A TOP RANKED LAW FIRM, Encourages Apache Corporation Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline – APA

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces the filing of a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of the securities of Apache Corporation (NASDAQ: APA) between September 7, 2016 and March 13, 2020, inclusive (the “Class Period”). A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 26, 2021.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Apache securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Apache class action, go to http://www.rosenlegal.com/cases-register-2040.html or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] or [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 26, 2021. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience or resources. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 3 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020 founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Apache intentionally used unrealistic assumptions regarding the amount and composition of available oil and gas in Alpine High; (2) Apache did not have the proper infrastructure in place to safely and/or economically drill and/or transport those resources even if they existed in the amounts purported; (3) these misleading statements and omissions artificially inflated the value of the Company’s operations in the Permian Basin; and (4) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Apache class action, go to http://www.rosenlegal.com/cases-register-2040.html or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] or [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Duke Energy provides $40,000 to aid Texans during recovery from historic winter weather events

PR Newswire

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Duke Energy Foundation has awarded two Duke Energy Renewables grants in the amount of $20,000 each to Feeding Texas and the American Red Cross of Central and South Texas.

These funds will provide support services, including food, water, shelter and other necessary resources to Texans who have experienced rolling blackouts, drinking water advisories and historically low temperatures caused by the recent polar vortex that impacted the state.

“Texans have endured many challenges over the last several weeks, from gas shortages, water advisories, access to food and rolling blackouts,” said Chris Fallon, president of Duke Energy Renewables. “We value our community partners and are comforted to know that our contributions are helping improve access to community resources and services for the citizens of Texas, particularly during this time of need.”

Thousands of Texans sought relief at local shelters and obtained services, including water, ready-to-eat meals and emergency supplies supported through the American Red Cross of Central and South Texas, and will continue to do so as recovery efforts from the winter storms continue.

“Duke Energy and the American Red Cross have been partnering to serve communities for over a century. The American Red Cross of Central and South Texas is very grateful to Duke Energy for their gift. Through their support much needed supplies, including blankets, cots and meals will be provided to those in need,” said Sunny Howard, Regional Chief Development Officer, The American Red Cross of Central and South Texas.

Feeding Texas is also playing a key role in supporting the needs of Texans, particularly as the area and its citizens recover from the recent winter storm blast. The funds provided by Duke Energy to Feeding Texas will provide over 200,000 meals to Texas citizens.

“The pandemic already pushed more Texans than ever to access food assistance from food banks. But the need is even higher as we strive to help Texas families recover from the impact of the recent winter storms,” said Celia Cole, chief executive officer at Feeding Texas. “We are grateful for Duke Energy’s support in helping Texas food banks keep their communities nourished through this crisis.”

The Feeding Texas network consists of 21 food banks serving all 254 counties in the state.

Texas is home to over 50% of Duke Energy Renewables’ solar, wind and storage assets. Currently, it operates nearly 1,500 MW of wind, 500 MW of solar and a 36 MW battery storage facility, which are managed by nearly 100 employees based in the state.

Great Dane Selects IntelliChief as Strategic Partner for Accounts Payable Automation

Seamless Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne integration and “touchless” processing will drive productivity to new highs for the transportation solutions leader of today.

Tampa, FL, Feb. 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Great Dane has selected IntelliChief, the emerging leader in Enterprise Content Management (ECM), for Accounts Payable Automation. Leveraging IntelliChief’s seamless integration with Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, this new strategic partnership will provide Great Dane with the tools to streamline, standardize, and automate invoice processing across its nine manufacturing plants and twenty sales branches.

Since 1900, Great Dane has worked tirelessly to establish itself as the transportation solutions leader of today. Great Dane’s success is a product of their unrivaled commitment to the success of customers and employees. Although their fleets of durable and high-quality trailers are beyond compare, Great Dane is equally vested in fostering relationships that last a lifetime.

Today, with the announcement of a strategic partnership with IntelliChief, Great Dane will establish another relationship; one that will become the driving force for faster, more accurate business processes and help Great Dane serve the needs of customers and vendors more efficiently.

Great Dane engaged IntelliChief to help them streamline the procure-to-pay cycle, eliminate paper documents, and automate the approval process of invoices.

“We spent a lot of time on the 4-way match due to our utilization of the catalog,” said Karen Savino, Controller at Great Dane. “We also wanted to secure all discounts available, and sometimes found it difficult when invoices were received at one location and paid at another location.”

In order to address these problems, several web presentations and demos were conducted during the sales process, including a reference call with a customer that dealt with similar invoice volume and had already used one of the competitors on Great Dane’s shortlist.

The customer reference Great Dane spoke with explained their reason for switching to IntelliChief, which involved IntelliChief’s superior 3- and 4-way matching, unit of measure conversions, parts number cross-references, GL coding, and ability to deal with a high volume of invoices.

“IntelliChief proved through demos and discussions that they truly listened to what our needs are,” noted Savino. “We were very pleased with the catalog verification process demoed by IntelliChief, which we knew would be a large hurdle for most AP automation suppliers. IntelliChief realizes one size does not fit all.”

IntelliChief edged out the competition by offering the most feature-rich AP automation solution available, one that could maximize Great Dane’s “straight-through” or “touchless” invoice processing rate so their AP team could focus solely on exceptions.

“We chose IntelliChief over several other vendors because of their seamless automation between their software and the integration with JD Edwards. More importantly to our team, was the extent that IntelliChief learned our business and what our goals were for an automated AP system.”

Great Dane’s Accounts Payable Automation solution features several IntelliChief products, including:

IntelliChief Capture Enterprise for AP Invoices
IntelliChief Analytics
IntelliChief Mobile Access Server
IntelliChief Retention Manager

These integrated technologies will allow Great Dane to automate Accounts Payable while opening the door for future expansion into other departments.

“We are pleased to welcome Great Dane to the IntelliChief customer family,” said Ken Anderson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at IntelliChief. “We look forward to serving Great Dane as they leverage the JD Edwards AP automation capabilities of our Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform.”

About IntelliChief

IntelliChief is the emerging leader in Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and Workflow Automation solutions. Leveraging advanced OCR, powerful workflows, document management, and analytics, IntelliChief eliminates manual processes and automates repetitive, time-consuming tasks to help businesses secure a decisive competitive advantage.

As a trusted Oracle Gold Partner and Infor Solution Partner, IntelliChief is recognized for its robust, configurable solutions and secure integrations with all ERP systems and applications. Hundreds of customers in every industry depend on IntelliChief as a strategic partner to help them digitize documents, standardize business processes, and automate Accounts Payable, Sales Orders, Human Resources, and more.
