SUSE Regional TCV and ACV Performance

  • North America had solid performance of TCV growing by 0.9% and ACV

growing by 5.5%. Delayed renewal transactions, including substantial new contract elements, now forecasted to close in Q3FY17.

  • International had a very successful first half, with TCV growing by 39.6%

and ACV growing by 21.8%.

  • APJ had a successful first half with TCV growing at 23.9% and ACV

growing by 33.6%. Leveraging global agreements in place with key independent hardware vendors and cloud service providers is attributable to some of the growth. Investment in SUSE dedicated and aligned field sales teams in APJ region creates opportunity.

SUSE ACV by Route to Market

  • Growth in Indirect and Global Service Partners routes of 11.5%, 32.9% respectively.
  • Large enterprise customers, who traditionally procure direct, purchased through a preferred partner, who acted as

a fulfillment agent, is primary reason for the Direct route showing a decline.

  • OEM (Embedded Systems) transactions tend to be large, custom, specialized and binary in nature, and thus year
  • n year fluctuations in ACV generated is expected and evens out over time
