Revenues for the year come in below expectations, mainly due to the subdued start to the year. Bottom-line numbers also below expectations, but to a significant extend explained by negative FX impact, which should largely normalize going forward. While overall 2025 was a record year for HYSG, we expect solid growth into 2026 with potentially some further upside from M&A when the large cash balance is put to work. We reiterate our Buy recommendation and the €5.5 TP.
As of 2Q25-3Q25 HYSG saw a significantly improved environment, resulting in an uptick of organic growth. Expecting solid 4Q25 results and a positive short term pipeline, we increased our FY26 expected revenues by 6%, with continued growth going forward. Operational leverage is increasingly evident, with cost efficiencies driving broadbased EBITDA strength and supporting sustainable margins above 25%, trending toward 28% longer term. Limited macro risks, a selective bolton M&A strategy backed by ...
Hybrid Software Group published their limited 3Q trading update. After a tough 1H25, the company has turned the page with a significant uptick in sales and, more importantly, very strong margins. At these levels HYSG is well on track to beat our FY operating & net result estimates. We keep our TP on €5.0 for now and comfortably reiterate our Buy recommendation.
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.
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.
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...
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.
Hybrid Software Group published its FY23 results and here are the main highlights:Sales in 2023 lands at EUR 48.0m (+2.8% YoY)EBITDA slightly down (-4% excluding one-off), but profit from continuing operations is up 18% YoYCEO guides for operating profit to double in 2024More details in our Note published this morning
We expect the Drupa exhibition to be a key catalyst for Hybrid Software Group this year. Although we do expect a sales lag leading up to the event, this should be more than compensated by a strong boost to sales over 2H24. This will put HYSG solidly on track for their €100m revenue target at 35% margin and will return some confidence in the stock after a more subdued 2023. We lower our TP slightly to €5.0 from €5.3, mainly from shifting that €100m target to the later end of the guided range. How...
