Hybrid Software Group Goodwill impairments offset profitability improvements for FY24

HYSG reported top-line growth for FY24, but below our expectations. 6.2m of goodwill impairments, mainly on the Labels & Packaging business, results in a net loss for the year. HYSG has made profitability improvements, which will continue into FY25. Although our gross profit expectations going forward seem too ambitious, increased profitability could compensate. HYSG now also has a 3m net cash position that could be leveraged further to generation additional value, beyond the ongoing 1m SBB. We cautiously reiterate our €5 TP and Buy recommendation.
