ASX-listed company is targeting 30 per cent growth in annual recurring revenues

Irish insurance software company Fineos is on track to achieve full-year revenue in the range of €125 to €130 million, its chief executive has said.

Addressing the company's annual general meeting, Michael Kelly said the company also forecast it will meet its target of 30 per cent growth in subscription revenues for 2022.

Annual recurring revenues – an important metric for software-as-a-service (Saas) companies – totalled €45.7 million last year.

“We are well positioned both operationally and financially to execute on our growth strategy into full-year 2022 and beyond,” Mr Kelly told shareholders.
