Revenue reduction by 7.8% to 64,900 million rubles
At the end of 2022, 1C's revenue decreased by 7.8% to 64,900 million rubles (according to TAdviser). In the ranking " TAdviser100: The largest IT companies in Russia 2023," such an indicator allowed the company to take 11th place.
1C has a decline in sales. Boris Nuraliev explained the reasons
In 2022, the volume of sales in rubles of the 1C group of companies with subsidiaries, joint ventures and retail enterprises (with the elimination of intra-group turnover) shows a decrease. This follows from the presentation of the founder of "1C" Boris Nuraliev at the business forum on October 28. Sales will fall by 7.8%, he predicted. Judging by the graphics given in the presentation, this situation is developing for the first time in the entire time of operation of "1C" on the market.
Absolute business indicators in the company traditionally do not disclose. According to the TAdviser100 ranking: The largest IT companies in Russia, at the end of 2021, the revenue of the 1C group (excluding 1C-Bitrix indicators) amounted to 67,905 million rubles (according to TAdviser), an increase of 8.1% compared to 2020.
The direction of business in 1C: Enterprise, including licenses and services, instead of growth, also demonstrate negative dynamics - minus 8.1%. Sales are coming out at about 2020 levels.
At the same time, says Boris Nuraliev, the result is not bad: "slightly less than last year, but much more than it could have been, so far everything is quite positive." And if you look not in rubles, but in "unfriendly currency," then growth comes out altogether. In addition, at the end of October 2022, 1C expects sales of 1C: Enterprises to grow in rubles.
The company cited data that now the system of applied management and accounting solutions built on 1C: Enterprise includes more than 1,000 replicated products. The platform has more than 6 million users in more than 1.5 million commercial enterprises and government agencies. At the same time, in 2021, more than 1.32 million jobs were formed at 1C: Enterprise.
In explaining the dynamics of sales of the entire group for 2022, the founder of 1C chose not to go into it, noting only that the 1C business includes different areas. A significant part of it, for example, falls on foreign games. At the same time, Boris Nuraliev explained to TAdviser the situation with the 1C: Enterprise business, where the dynamics are comparable to the general group. The given indicator is an extrapolation: what dynamics will be in a year if there are no dramatic changes from October.
Boris Nuraliev explained to TAdviser the emerging dynamics in 1C: Enterprise by the fact that the economy in Russia is on a certain decline. "1C" makes the most money in the mass market, and it falls, there is a decrease in business activity. So, according to the Federal Tax Service, from June to October 2022, the number of small and medium-sized businesses (legal entities and individual entrepreneurs) in Russia decreased by almost 5[1].
People are engaged in automation when there are prospects, when it is necessary to develop. And if businesses have concerns, should they develop, then how will they spend money on automation and digitalization? Boris Nuraliev said in a conversation with TAdviser. |
It should be borne in mind that some decline in 1C: Enterprise sales occurs after dynamic growth, he added. In 2021, in particular, sales of services and licenses "1C: Enterprise" increased in rubles by 17.3%, in 2020 - by 15.8%.
This was largely facilitated by the situation with the coronavirus: COVID-19 it required a restructuring of business processes. For example, at that time, the retailer "" Dixy urgently needed to organize delivery in much larger volumes and roll it out to about 600 stores. Also, many people switched to remote work, which increased the demand for IT.
During the covid, the economy as a whole died down, but the restructuring of business processes led to the fact that IT became more in demand, - said Boris Nuraliev in a conversation with TAdviser. - Against the background of the special operation, someone also has such an effect when the business is growing or rebuilding, but in general the economy is getting somewhat worse. |
In 2021, they also tightened the screws in the field of combating piracy. And due to the fact that some used unlicensed 1C software, in 2021 there was some part of the purchase of licensed products. This is also one of the additional factors that contributed to the growth, said Boris Nuraliev.
Against the background of the current difficult economic situation, some areas of 1C business in 2022 demonstrate high positive dynamics, 1C said. For example, cloud services "1C" - "1C: Fresh" - show an increase of 33% in the number of paid customers. Growth is also observed in 1C joint ventures providing cloud services.
The growth of customers and revenue goes both in the direction of 1C:Accounting service network - outsourcing of accounting, and in Smartway - an online travel service. This is facilitated, among other things, by the focus of company leaders on reducing costs.
As for expectations in the market in 2023, Boris Nuraliev says he does not know what to expect.
We work, we are here, we have not left anywhere, we are investing in development. And what will happen? As they say, "do what you have to do, and be what it will be," the 1C founder said. |

Sales of the key product "1C" in 2016 increased by 15.5%, Nuraliev said. At the same time, sales of licenses increased by 13%, and subscriptions and services - by 18%.
The director of the company also said that in 2016, the volume of sales of services and subscriptions for the first time in the history of 1C exceeded the volume of sales of 1C: Enterprise software licenses, although the advantage was insignificant. The bias towards services and the subscription model is also a global trend.
About 200 companies from 2015 to 2017 chose the ERP-solution "1C" instead of the "heavy" Western systems of the same class, cited data in "1C." The chart below shows that 1C: Enterprise is receiving more and more implementations in large organizations with a large number of jobs.

"Previously, we offered customers to automate their accounting, now we can automate their main activities (trading, production) and outsource fiscal accounting: accounting, taxes, salaries," - this is how Boris Nuraliev formulated a fundamentally new vector of his company's movement.
He recalled that 1C today is not only a leading developer, but also a recognized expert in the most substantive field of accounting, including by developing a standard for the provision of accounting services. For several years now, the company has been developing two such outsourcing projects: 1C:Accounting service (for small businesses) and 1C: Outsourcing, while developing a new partner network based on a well-developed networking model.
Accounting Function Outsourcing Sales Dynamics
According to Boris Nuraliev, the accounting functions outsourcing market in the United States is 0.35% of the country's GDP, and in Russia it is less than 0.01%, such a lag indicates a significant potential for the growth of this sector of the economy. At the same time, in Russia it is growing at an average rate of about 25% per year, even despite the opacity of Russian companies and the low qualifications of many market players that restrain it.
"We still occupy several percent of this market, but we can increase our share by an order of magnitude, and at the same time the market can also grow by an order of magnitude. Just as we created the industry of mass IT automation of enterprises, we are now starting to form the industry of mass outsourcing of accounting functions, "said Boris Nuraliev.
Share in the market of ERP systems in Russia
According to IDC, over the years 1C has been steadily increasing its market share in terms of revenue in the Russian ERP systems market.
In 2016, among the leading suppliers of enterprise management information systems (ERP, etc.) in the Russian market, 1C ranks second with a share of 32.9%. Compared to 2015, it added 0.2%.

Commenting partly on the modest increase in the share of the 1C market, despite the rate of import substitution announced by the state, the head of 1C Boris Nuraliev emphasized that the study took into account money in Russian currency.
"We have ruble prices, and in order to even just maintain our share, we have to significantly increase sales in pieces," he says.
