* At current exchange rate NEW YORK and PARIS, May 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First quarter revenue amounted to €8.8 million, nearly same as in 2021, reflecting unfavorable comparison to Q1 2021, which was marked by a major transaction with a System Integrator amounting to nearly 20% of Q1 2021 software revenue. In addition, more than 90% of new business in the quarter was conducted on annual subscription or short-term license basis, in order to gradually increase the share of recurring revenue and thereby fuel future revenue growth. SaaS revenue continues to accelerate, up 53% compared to Q1 2021. Services revenue grew by 11%. It should be noted that recurring revenue from existing clients, meaning renewals of short-term licenses and 12-month SaaS subscriptions plus software upgrades related to existing licenses, represents 39% of the total first quarter revenue. Software sales (SaaS subscription orders and software licenses) for the quarter represent €4.2 million, of which nearly €1 million are expected as additional recurring revenue, 60% coming from partners. The United States represents 65% of the total, Europe represents 26% and Asia represents 9%. CAST re-iterates its 15% revenue growth target for the full year 2022.
