Last month, Constellation Software Inc. announced strong third quarter results despite dynamic shifts and challenges in markets worldwide. As global markets continue to recover and rally on the heels of the pandemic, Constellation’s success can be attributed to its business units’ and employees’ commitment to support each other, their customers, respective industries, and considerable ability to adapt to remote processes and integrations.
Constellation announced growth in total revenue to $1,003 million for the quarter ending on September 30th, 2020 – an increase of 15% over the same quarter in 2019. Overall growth was driven primarily through acquisitions completed for an aggregate cash consideration of $122 million, while organic growth was negative 1% for the quarter.
Constellation continued to acquire new businesses with $148M of acquisitions completed in the quarter and another $47M completed or committed to acquire. Cash flows from operations increased to $831 million in the nine months of the year and the company ended the quarter with $534M in cash on the balance sheet – an increase of $57 million for the same period in 2019, providing substantial cash flow to consider additional acquisitions as we close out the year and head into 2021.
The Constellation Real Estate Group contributed to the figures described above, acquiring Paradym Marketing, an industry leader in virtual marketing software – a strategic investment as the world continues to adopt digital and virtual technologies.
