Update on financial reporting
8 December 2022
As announced in Sage's FY22 results on 16 November 2022, Sage
intends to evolve its financial reporting by giving greater
emphasis to underlying revenue and profit measures, and by amending
the presentation of its regional reporting. These changes will be
introduced in Sage's Q1 23 trading update, and will apply to Sage's
future financial reporting. Further details are set out below.
To facilitate comparison with prior periods, the appendix to
this announcement sets out key reporting figures for FY22
reflecting these changes. Sage's primary annual and interim
financial statements and notes to the accounts will not be
impacted.
Focus on underlying measures
In addition to statutory financial reporting measures, Sage also
provides non-GAAP Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) including
underlying and organic measures, to help assess financial
performance. Underlying measures allow management and investors to
understand the performance of the Group on a constant currency
basis excluding recurring and non-recurring items, while organic
measures also adjust for the impact of acquisitions and disposals
[1] .
Going forward, Sage will provide financial metrics and analysis
including the breakdown of revenue by category, by strategic
product portfolio and by region, together with Annualised Recurring
Revenue (ARR), on an underlying basis alongside organic growth
rates. Sage Business Cloud penetration and subscription penetration
will also be provided on an underlying basis. Previously this
information was provided primarily on an organic basis. Certain
organic revenue and profit measures including recurring and total
revenue by region will continue to be provided in the interim and
full year results.
Sage believes that these changes will enable a clearer
understanding of both the organic and inorganic performance of the
Group.
Change to regional reporting
Sage also intends to amend the presentation of its regional
reporting, to reflect recent changes to the way in which the Group
manages its operations. Going forward, Sage will report performance
across the following regions: North America, comprising the US,
Sage Intacct and Canada; UKIA, comprising Northern Europe (UK &
Ireland) and Africa & APAC; and Europe, comprising France,
Central Europe and Iberia.

announcement, dated 16 November 2022.
