European companies generally do not provide revenue and net income figures in trading updates

Overall; revenue was up 5 percent, but 2 percentage points stemmed from the favorable impact of currency with organic revenue up 4 percent.

The Internal Revenue Service’s extension of the filing season deadline from April 15 to July 15 is also impacting results. The company said its expects efiling revenue will extend into the third quarter.

In general, WK says, “Market conditions for new sales of subscription products and for non-recurring categories such as training, software licenses, and implementation services are proving challenging.”
