A Record Second Quarter with 41% Growth
Provisional consolidated revenue stands at EUR3.24 million ($3.97 million USD) for the second quarter of 2012, compared with EUR2.29 million ($2.80 million USD) for the same period last year, an increase of 41%.

In Europe, this is the result of several significant new contracts, including The Sage Group plc, the world's third-largest business management software provider. At the same time, Cameleon Software's SaaS offering continues to gain momentum, as witnessed by the company signing a contract with a large U.S. cable operator covering 19 U.S. states.

First Half of 2012: +17%
At EUR5.17 million ($6.33 million USD), revenue for the first half-year is up by 17%, compared with the same period last year. These figures are even more encouraging because the first half of 2011 was itself a dynamic period, with growth of 9% over the first half of 2010. In the U.S., activity is up by 37% for the first half of the year.

Outlook: 28% Growth in the order backlog
The order backlog (perpetual licensing and SaaS business, excluding maintenance) remains very healthy for the period at EUR5.54 million ($6.78 million USD), up by 28% compared with June 30th 2011 at EUR4.31 million ($5.28 million USD). Over the entire 2012 financial year, the company's break-even point should be situated at around EUR9.6 million ($11.75 million USD).

Jacques Soumeillan, Cameleon Software's President/CEO, stated: "This quarter is a record one for the Cameleon Software Group. Although we are still operating in a difficult economic environment, our sales revenue is growing rapidly and we should generate a net profit result over the first half of the year. The new clients acquired in the last quarter will raise our profile in our preferred vertical markets in Europe and the U.S. It has now been established that the Configure Price Quote (CPQ) market, is growing fast, a trend reinforced by the rise in mobility and SaaS solutions. Now more than ever, we hold a prime position on this rising wave. We are the European leader on this market and every day we reinforce our position in the U.S. and the rest of the world."
