PRESS RELEASE – REGULATED INFORMATION
HYBRID SOFTWARE GROUP RESULTS CONTINUE GROWTH TRAJECTORY
Cambridge (UK) 30 April 2026 (18.00 CEST) – Hybrid Software Group PLC (Euronext: HYSG) provides a trading update for the three months ended 31 March 2026.
CEO Mike Rottenborn comments, “We have started 2026 with consistent performance in the first quarter, delivering continued revenue growth alongside improved profitability at the EBITDA level.
“Group revenue for the three months ended 31 March 2026 increased to €12.96 million, up 7% compared to €12.14 million in the prior year period. This growth was primarily driven by strong performance in our Enterprise Software segment, which delivered revenue of €7.01 million, representing a 22% year-on-year increase and reflecting continued demand for our solutions.
“Our Printhead Solutions segment delivered a resilient performance, generating €3.16 million in revenue and maintaining strong profitability with an EBITDA margin of 28%, up from 21% in the first quarter of 2025. Meanwhile, our Printing Software segment reported revenue of €2.79 million, broadly stable year-on-year, with profitability impacted by targeted investments to support future growth.
“At the operating level, the Group reported a result of negative €0.13 million, compared to a positive €0.15 million in the same period last year. This reflects increased amortisation at Group level stemming from recent acquisitions. Adjusted operating result increased to €0.94 million from €0.92 million over the first quarter of 2025, demonstrating the underlying strength of the business.
“We continue to invest in product innovation, platform development, and go-to-market capabilities, particularly within Enterprise Software, where we see significant long-term growth opportunities. While these investments impact short-term operating results, they are critical to sustaining our competitive position and driving future value creation.
“Looking ahead, despite the ever changing macroeconomic environment we remain confident in our strategy and expect continued progress over the remainder of the year, supported by a strong pipeline, recurring revenue growth, and disciplined cost management.”
