Hybrid Software Group Tough comps continue, but positive outlook for 2...

1H25 is seeing tough comps from a large Printing Software contract signing in 1Q24 and the uptick in business in 2Q24 triggered by the Drupa trading fair. The gap to our estimates seen in 1Q25 continues in todays half-year results. Management is confident on the sales pipeline going forward, with comps significantly more benign in 2H25. We expect the second half of the year to be much stronger for Hybrid Software Group, reiterating out Buy recommendation.

Hybrid Software Group 1Q25 trading update: Weak Printing Software reve...

Printing Software saw a tough reference period with a large 5-year contract signed in 1Q24. However a 55% revenue decline is significantly worse than we expected. Printing Software revenues are lumpy, so potential for a catch up in the remainder of the year. In the other segments strong Printhead Solutions compensates for slightly weaker Enterprise Software. Management remains positive on 2025, highlighting healthy sales funnels across all segments.

Hybrid Software Group Goodwill impairments offset profitability improv...

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 now also has a 3m net cash position that could be leveraged further to generation additional value, beyond the ongoing 1m SBB. We...

Hybrid Software Group A €1 million share buyback announced

Hybrid Software Group announced a €1m share buyback as it believes the current share price is not reflecting the intrinsic value of the company. We fully follow this reasoning, given the 33% upside to our target price.

Hybrid Software Group's 3Q24 results are weaker than expected both in top & bottom line. Coming from a strong 1H24 combined with an expected order uptick from the Drupa exhibition, flat revenues YoY are a surprise. We maintain our recommendation and TP for now, though do see some additional downside risk to our case.
