Item Definition

Initial Licence FeeInitial Licence Fee (ILF) - users are charged an initial licence fee per seat together with an obligatory annual

fee.

Annual FeeCharged in association with an ILF providing customer support and maintenance, which includes core

updates. Users must pay the annual fee in order to maintain the right to use the software.

Rental licence modelAn alternative to the ILF plus annual fee model, there are three different types of rental licence: Monthly

invoicing, contractual period (typically one year, invoiced up front) or token licensing.

Token-based licensingThe user pays for a 'basket of tokens' representing licences to use different software products over a

defined period of time. The customer can draw down on these licences as required.

Revenue recognition

ILFs – recognised upfront after usual delivery and acceptance conditions are met. Annual fees – recognised

ratably over the period (typically 12 months). Rental licences - an estimated licence element is recognised

up front, and the remaining maintenance element is recognised ratably over the contracted period. Services

are recognised on a percentage complete basis.

Revenue by geography

The sales force is organised into three geographic regions. Revenue is allocated based on where the

contracting entity of the customer is based. AVEVA's Global Accounts often choose to purchase software in

one geography for use in another.

Recurring revenue Annual fees plus rental fees.

Adjusted PBTProfit Before Tax adjusted to exclude the effects of amortisation of intangibles (excluding software), share-

based payments, gain/loss on fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts and exceptional items.

Constant currencyThe period’s reported result restated to reflect the previous year’s average exchange rates, for the purpose

of a constant currency comparison.

Adjusted EPSAdjusted PBT is used to calculate the adjusted earnings per share, after an adjustment for the tax effect of

the items adjusted.

Cash conversion Cash flow from operations divided by the operating profit for the period, measured as a percentage.

BacklogContracted revenue that has not yet been recognised but which is expected to be recognised in the next 12

months. Revenue backlog also includes 12 months of annual fees.
