Finalisation of revenue recognition for contract extension
Alfa Financial Software Holdings PLC ("Alfa" or the "Company"),
a leading developer of mission-critical software for the asset
finance industry provides this update on revenue recognition for a
recently won contract.
We previously announced that we had won a five year extension to
the maintenance and licence subscription for an existing client.
The contract is different to our usual contracts in that there was
no associated implementation project, therefore a number of
judgements were needed which affected the period in which the
revenues should be recognised. At the time of the announcement, we
assumed that we would recognise at least c15% of the contract value
in 2020, which was in line with the initial cash receipt.
We have now completed our analysis of the contract in accordance
with accounting standards and have concluded that some of this
revenue will need to be accelerated because there is no further
work required to deliver the licence. That component (representing
just under 40% of the total contract value) will therefore be
recognised as a one-off amount on signing the contract in October
2020. The balance which represents the maintenance component will
be recognised over the five year life of the contract.
As a consequence, our expectations for revenue recognition in
2020 from this contract will be GBP4m ahead of our previous
expectations. There have been no changes to the contract itself. In
addition to the positive changes set out in this update, trading
has performed in line with our expectations.
Our audited results for the year to 31 December 2020 will be
published on 23 March 2021.
Andrew Denton, Chief Executive Officer of Alfa, said:
"I am delighted to announce another increase in our expectations
for 2020, and I continue to be excited about the prospects for our
business."
