The language translation services group said it is starting to see increased cash inflow in the business as Alterian re-structuring and process unification is completed.
"We continued our investments into technology innovation and feel confident this will deliver long-term growth to the business," SDL said.
The group added that the Alterian business has integrated well into SDL and is performing ahead of company expectations.
"We are excited about the future marketing analytics product solutions, particularly how well they fit into SDL's software platform," it added.
