DATAGROUP posts revenue growth in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024/2025

Pliezhausen, 12 August 2025. DATAGROUP SE (WKN: A0JC8S) today publishes the financial results of the third quarter 2024/2025 and the first nine months of 2024/2025. Both in the third quarter of 2024/2025 and the first nine months of 2024/2025 DATAGROUP has continued to grow in a market environment that remains challenging. Development in earnings reflects the ongoing investments in the future fields of artificial intelligence, cyber security and cloud technologies, and is in line with expectations at an EBIT margin of 8.0 %. In the first nine months of 2024/2025, orders from new customers added up to roughly EUR 23m, while cross- and upselling contracts worth approximately EUR 15m were secured. The outlook for the full year 2024/2025 is confirmed.

Revenue was up slightly by 3.4 % to EUR 136.3m in the third quarter of 2024/2025 (PY EUR 131.8m) and 9.3 % to EUR 416.1m in the first nine months of 2024/2025 (PY EUR 380.5m). Accordingly, gross profit was up 9.2 % to EUR 296.1m (PY EUR 271.3m).

EBITDA came to EUR 60.9m (PY EUR 58.3m) and EBIT to EUR 33.5m (PY EUR 32.2m). The EBIT margin thus stood at 8.0 % after the first nine months of 2024/2025 versus 8.5 % in the prior-year period. “Our growth demonstrates that our solid business model differentiates us from the competition and secures sustainable development. Customer projects, such as supporting Degussa Goldhandel on their growth path or the digitalization of student finance in the federal state of Hesse, illustrate that we convince in both highly productive, standardized CORBOX services and customized, individual IT solutions tailored to our clients’ specific needs”, says DATAGROUP’s CEO Andreas Baresel, commenting on the results.

Balance Sheet Development and Cashflow

The balance sheet total increased to EUR 569.9m (30.09.2024: EUR 537.4m) in comparison to the end of the fiscal year. The equity ratio of 28.9 % slightly exceeds the level at the end of the fiscal year (30.09.2024: 28.6 %). Liquid funds amounted to EUR 28.5m (30.09.2024: EUR 36.6m).
Total net debt was EUR 175.9m on 30.06.2025 compared to EUR 139.1m at the end of the fiscal year on 30.09.2024. This increase is mainly attributable to the acquisition of Tarador (EUR 8.3m), earn-out payments (EUR 5.2m), the dividend payment of EUR 8.3m and the share buyback of EUR 2.1m. Accordingly, the net debt to EBITDA ratio is 2.2 (30.09.2024: 1.7). Cash inflow from operating activities was EUR 13.8m (PY EUR 29.0m).
