"We see variability across the different segments served, but the broad industry vertical mix of our customer base, combined with our geographic spread, continues to afford protection against economic uncertainty."
The firm added that it was positive about its progress in integrating analytics firm Alterian.
SDL bought the firm for £69.7m - or 110p per share - at the end of January.
Alterian's software allows clients to monitor what their customers are interested in by analysing what they are looking at, and for how long.
At the time SDL hailed the deal as "an excellent strategic fit", combining Alertian's marketing analytics, campaign management and social media capabilities with its own web content management, e-commerce and structured content products.
