Management had expected the result and “we expect a continued decline in the second quarter,” CEO Thomas Honoré said in this week’s earnings webcast. “The United States is a hindrance to our financial performance,” he added. Columbus is looking for a new general manager for the continent. First-quarter revenue for the North American was about $11.6 million while EBIDTA dropped to about $255, 000. Revenue for Columbus software licenses, the company’s own line, dropped 47.6 percent to approximately $347,000. Columbus software subscription income dropped 12.6 percent to about $2.2 million. However, Honoré noted, “We are convinced our software sales will come back to positive growth in 2019.” External cloud revenue rose 58.4 percent to roughly $1.1 million. The biggest source of revenue, service revenue rose by 3 percent to $57 million and was up organically by 8.5 percent. The main factor is improvement in revenue from the Columbus Care program.
