EQS-News: Unbroken record series with high revenue momentum for cloud and subscriptions – 20th record year in a row for revenue and earnings

According to provisional figures, ATOSS Software SE is once again reporting a strong financial year with new records for revenue and earnings. In total, revenue increased by 11 percent over the prior year, climbing to EUR 189.3 million (previous year: EUR 170.6 million) in connection with an EBIT margin of 36 percent (previous year: 37 percent). The Management Board expects the ATOSS success story to continue in financial year 2026 as well - and beyond.

 

 

Munich, January 30, 2026

Following a vibrant fourth quarter, ATOSS Software SE has consistently maintained its growth course in the 2025 financial year. For the twentieth time in a row, the Munich-based workforce management specialist has once again succeeded in surpassing the already high record figures of previous years in terms of revenue and earnings. The company has thereby continued and expanded its strategic expansion trajectory at a high level, despite the persistently weak economic environment. From the viewpoint of the year as whole, Group revenue was up by 11 percent to EUR 189.3 million (previous year: EUR 170.6 million). Of this amount, software revenue contributed a 13 percent revenue gain, totaling EUR 140.7 million (previous year: EUR 124.9 million). Once again, revenue from cloud & subscriptions proved the main drivers of software revenue, which enjoyed a 28 percent boost to EUR 92.7 million (previous year: EUR 72.4 million) and are now accounting for a total revenue share of 49 percent (previous year: 42 percent). Together with the 1 percent rise in software maintenance revenue amounting to EUR 39.2 million (previous year: EUR 39.0 million), recurring revenue advanced year-on-year by 18 percent, reaching EUR 131.9 million (previous year: EUR 111.3 million). Recurring revenue from cloud & subscriptions, as well as maintenance accounted for 70 percent of total revenue in the 2025 financial year (previous year: 65 percent). One-off revenue from software licenses developed in the opposite direction, down by 35 percent to EUR 8.8 million (previous year: EUR 13.5 million). Revenue with consulting services expanded in the same period to EUR 39.6 million (previous year: EUR 35.9 million). Hardware revenue amounted to EUR 3.7 million (previous year: EUR 5.8 million) due to customer investment reticence.

Demand for software solutions from new and existing customers improved significantly in the second half of the year compared to the first half and, overall, is at the level of the previous year. The marked rise in the order intake for cloud & subscriptions compared to the previous year is particularly noteworthy in this context. The key cloud & subscriptions KPIs relating to the order situation also developed positively. The cloud & subscriptions order backlog, which indicates the revenue from contractually committed cloud usage fees within the next 12 months, advanced by 27 percent to EUR 109.1 million in the 2025 business year (31.12.2024: EUR 85.8 million). This cloud & subscriptions key figure also includes the cloud & subscriptions Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) from current cloud & subscriptions fees, which was up by 28 percent to a total of EUR 101.3 million compared to the year-end figure on December 31, 2024 (EUR 79.3 million). The total ARR order backlog (consisting of cloud & subscriptions fees and maintenance revenue including the contractually committed revenue over the next 12 months) rose by 18 percent to EUR 146.5 million as of December 31, 2025.

The return on revenue based on operating earnings at 36 percent (previous year: 37 percent) is once again above the level of 34 percent forecast by the Management Board for the full year 2025 and already raised as of the third quarter. This development is primarily due to sustainable cost management within the Group.

The liquidity of the Group, as another key financial indicator, also reflects the consistently strong performance and ongoing stability of the ATOSS business model. As a result of the successful business development, liquidity increased by 10 percent year-on-year to a total of EUR 123.2 million (previous year: EUR 112.2 million).

Based on its long-term dividend policy that provides for a distribution rate of 75 percent relative to earnings per share, the Management Board will propose to the Supervisory Board a dividend of EUR 2.28 per share (previous year: EUR 2.13 per share) as part of its profit appropriation resolution. The recommendations for the appropriation of net income put forward by the Management and Supervisory Boards will be resolved upon at the Annual General Meeting on April 30, 2026.

The new revenue and earnings records as well as the strong growth in the cloud & subscriptions business as drivers of business development underline the high performance and competitive position of ATOSS. In addition, the ongoing digitalization of the global economy is opening up new opportunities for growth and investments for the Munich-based workforce management specialist. In line with the advancing integration of artificial intelligence in forecasting, planning and automation processes, ATOSS is increasingly expanding the scalability of its solution portfolio and boosting efficiency with data-driven decision models. Thanks to a technologically strong portfolio of solutions combined with a very sound financial base, ATOSS is well positioned to also exploit these opportunities sustainably in the future.

Against this backdrop, the Group is planning revenue of around EUR 215 million with an EBIT margin of at least 32 percent for the 2026 financial year. With a look to 2027, the Group anticipates revenue of around EUR 245 million.
