TeamViewer Surpasses Q3 Expectations, Boosted by Reduced Manchester United Deal
The enhanced operating margin can be partially explained by lowered sponsorship expenditure after TeamViewer shrank its partnership deal with Manchester United. By cutting back its role as the company’s major shirt sponsor, the company has expanded its existing margins.
:This shift in strategy is expected to a provide additional boost to the company’s performance during the fourth quarter of this year. The organisation expects the change in their sponsorship relationship to keep on increasing their profitability for the rest of the year.
Even so, TeamViewer has downgraded its revenue outlook for 2024. The new prediction is 662 to 668 million euros with the earlier estimate of 660 to 685 million euros Wenger said.
The downward adjustment made on the revenue is mainly explained by foreign exchange risks. However, TeamViewer continues to be upbeat on the near-term trajectory for its profitability, which has been underpinned by sound operational controls supported by cost containment efforts.
TeamViewer Sees 30% Growth in Enterprise Segment, but SMB Billings Dip 3%
TeamViewer noted the varying trends in its segments with minoring details: the organization’s SMB segment’s billings fell by 3 % year-on-year and reached 118.8 million euros. This segment that focused on the SMEs encountered some challenges during this period.
However, the company’s enterprise segment showed some good improvement; where the billings stood at 35.3 million euros, which was 30% above the corresponding period of the previous year. This is evident on how TeamViewer has achieved its goal of targeting and providing services to big ticket clients.
According to Oliver Steil, the CEO, increasing market share in the enterprise segment has been a result of years of investment. He said that although the growth was gradual it is now as they predicted the result of their sustained planning.
Investing in the enterprise segment is therefore in line with TeamViewer’s objectives, according to Steil. ”What we see now coming through is more normal,” he said, that means at the company level it is right on target in terms of its expansion plan.
However, the increasing number of enterprises proves to be a big advantage for the company since the SMB segment came up with some challenges. This corresponds to the belief that targeting the many big clients may actually be helping the firm to have a more diversified revenue stream.

However, Steil believes that conditions could get better hence continues to hint at the possiblity in the US market especially he saw some hurdles to its operations that had to do with the. Structural uncertainties specifically, those arising out of political and economic changes will remain critical challenges for the company.
