As the company continued transitioning into its new business model, revenues compared to Q1 2012 showed a decline. Note, however, that the Q1 2012 comparison was before major competitive consolidation announced in our industry in Q2 2012.
This picture is mitigated with a comparison to Q4 2012, when the level of SaaS, excluding positive one-offs and year-end adjustments related to customer spend, had already reached current level. As stated in previous communications, the level of services revenue has also dropped to a lower level than prior to those competitive market consolidations. While the revenue figure of Q1 2013 shows a comparative decrease, the Company expects improvement in the next quarter.
Revenue from net new customers has been low during this transformative phase, but the Company continues to experience a solid level of enhancement and growth from the existing customer base.
2. Q1 2013 major events:
