Commenting on the results, Temenos CEO Jean-Pierre Brulard said:

“I am particularly pleased with the consistent execution across the business in the fourth quarter, which has been a key area of focus for our leadership team. After presenting our new strategic plan in November, the critical first step was to deliver a good Q4 which was comparing to a strong Q4 last year and to meet guidance for the full year 2024. We benefited from a stable sales environment, which was particularly visible in deal signings for subscription licenses and SaaS ACV. These are both essential to driving ARR growth and give us visibility on our future cash flow.”
