Paris, July 23, 2026 — 74Software (Euronext Paris: 74SW) reported organic revenue growth of 8.6% in H1 2026, together with significant improvements in operating profitability and net profit. This performance was driven by the continued transition of maintenance revenue toward subscriptions, solid demand from new customers and disciplined execution across both brands. Based on these strong results, 74Software is raising its full-year revenue growth and margin guidance.
At its meeting held today, 74Software’s Board of Directors, chaired by Pierre Pasquier, approved the consolidated financial statements for the first half of 2026, which were subject to a limited review by the Statutory Auditors. The Group announces the following results:

Business Highlights
74Software delivered strong growth across both brands in H1 2026, together with a significant improvement in profitability, underpinned by growth in subscriptions and licenses. The Group continued to strengthen its capabilities while maintaining disciplined capital allocation and preserving flexibility for selective M&A.
Axway delivered a strong first half, supported by Managed File Transfer, sustained momentum in the Americas and continued progress on its offer roadmap. Within MFT, the new Axway Workbench offer strengthened the portfolio by providing unified visibility and operational control across complex file-transfer environments. API Management also gained traction, notably through Amplify Fusion, Axway’s unified integration offering combining API management, iPaaS and B2B/MFT capabilities, which recorded 48 wins year-to-date across modernization and extension use cases. The AI Gateway also strengthened the API Management business line by addressing the secure governance of enterprise AI usage.
SBS maintained solid momentum as banks continued to modernize core platforms, lending operations and digital channels. Amplitude, one of SBS’s integrated core banking offerings, recorded 11 signatures in H1, with particularly strong activity in Africa. Modular Products also gained further traction, including three new digital engagement signatures, while Financing Products benefited from sustained activity in the UK. SBS AI Foundation was officially launched in early July, with its first client already live. The new offering combines a governed data layer connected to SBS’s product portfolio with an AI platform supporting use cases designed to augment bankers’ day-to-day operations. AI-enriched versions of all key solutions are expected from early 2027.
Across both brands, artificial intelligence is being embedded where 74Software has durable advantages: governed connectivity, trusted data, domain-specific workflows and production-grade control. Axway enables enterprises to connect models and agents securely to existing systems while maintaining control over their interactions. SBS, meanwhile, is embedding AI into regulated banking processes built on structured data and established business logic. The Group’s opportunity lies in enabling the industrialization of AI usage through integration, governance, observability and auditable workflows. This positioning is becoming increasingly relevant as customers move from isolated pilots toward scaled production deployments.
The Group enters the second half of 2026 with greater visibility, supported by strong first-half execution and a structurally higher recurring revenue base. Quarterly performance will continue to reflect renewal cycles and contract phasing inherent to the software model, while the continued expansion of subscription revenue is enhancing predictability, as reflected in ARR growth across both brands.
Patrick Donovan, Chief Executive Officer, stated:
“74Software delivered a strong first half of 2026, combining sustained organic growth with significant margin expansion. This performance reflects the resilience of our installed base, the enduring importance of our mission-critical software and disciplined execution across both Axway and SBS.
As AI adoption moves from experimentation to industrialization, the ability to connect, govern and secure critical systems and data becomes increasingly important. This reinforces the strategic relevance of our portfolio and creates further expansion opportunities within our customer base. Based on our H1 execution and improved full-year visibility, we are raising our 2026 objectives while maintaining our focus on disciplined delivery and our 2028 ambitions.”

In H1 2026, profit on operating activities increased by 34.8% to €55.7 million, lifting the margin by 3.2 points to 15.2%, compared with €41.3 million and 12.0% in H1 2025. This strong operating leverage was supported by revenue growth, a more favorable product mix and disciplined cost and resource management.
Gross profit increased by 8.2% to €246.8 million, with the gross margin expanding to 67.2%, compared with 66.3% in H1 2025. Research & Development decreased by €2.7 million while Sales & Marketing expenses grew marginally, resulting in a strong increase in brand contribution to €92.5 million, representing 25.2% of revenue, compared with €72.1 million and 20.9% in H1 2025.
Centrally managed G&A expenses increased to €36.9 million, compared with €30.8 million in the prior year period. This increase to 10.0% of revenue was driven by investments in Group capabilities, increased bonus accruals based on higher H1 profitability, as well as timing effects expected to normalize over the full year.
H1 2026 Net Profit
Net profit more than quadrupled year-on-year, driven by higher profit on operating activities, lower other operating charges and an improved financial result.

Profit from recurring operations reached €45.2 million, representing 12.3% of revenue, compared with €28.4 million and 8.3% in H1 2025. Share-based expenses decreased to €4.5 million from €6.7 million, reflecting the absence of the one-off adjustment to social-security provisions that affected the prior-year period following the change in French law.
Other operating income and expenses represented a net charge of €1.2 million, compared with a net charge of €8.9 million in H1 2025. The charge for H1 2026 is mainly related to integration expenses, while the prior year included significant restructuring charges. As a result, operating profit reached €43.9 million, or 12.0% of revenue, compared with €19.5 million and 5.7% in the prior-year period.
After a net financial expense of €9.4 million and an income tax charge of €7.1 million, net profit increased to
€27.4 million, representing 7.5% of revenue, compared with €5.8 million and 1.7% in H1 2025. Earnings per share reached €0.94, compared with €0.20 in the prior year period.
Financial position on June 30, 2026
As of June 30, 2026, 74Software maintained a strong financial position, using its cash generation to further reduce net debt while repurchasing shares.
Unlevered free cash flow amounted to €32.8 million, representing 8.9% of revenue, compared with €76.4 million and 22.2% in H1 2025. The year-on-year decrease mainly reflected the swing from a €55.0 million working-capital inflow in H1 2025 to a €7.8 million outflow in H1 2026, driven by strong growth in customer-managed subscriptions, an unfavorable year-on-year factoring effect and a more balanced seasonal pattern of revenue and collections, resulting in a shift in cash generation from H1 to H2. Excluding working-capital movements, operating cash flow increased to €61.8 million from €34.6 million, reflecting stronger underlying operating performance.
Net debt was reduced to €181.3 million, from €193.0 million on December 31, 2025. The Group’s leverage ratio improved to 1.39x on June 30, 2026, compared with 1.71x on December 31, 2025, on a comparable basis under the revised definition introduced following the April 2026 refinancing. Equity increased to €577.1 million and net debt declined to 23.9% of total capital from 27.2% on June 30, 2025.
Together with the Group’s growing recurring revenue base and improving profitability, the Group’s stronger financial profile supports greater visibility in international capital markets. 74Software continues to explore alternatives to improve trading liquidity in its shares. Over the first six months of 2026, average daily trading volumes on Euronext Paris more than doubled compared with the same period in 2025.
Share buy-back
As announced with its FY 2025 results, 74Software intends to repurchase up to 800,000 shares during 2026 to cover its employee long-term incentive plans. On June 30, 2026, the Group had repurchased 421,052 shares for €14.1 million, at a weighted average price of €33.43 per share, leaving up to 378,948 additional shares available for potential repurchase during the remainder of the year.
Change in the workforce
On June 30, 2026, the Group employed 4,527 full-time equivalents, compared with 4,679 on June 30, 2025 and 4,571 on December 31, 2025. This evolution reflects continued resource discipline across both brands, while preserving the capabilities required for customer delivery, product development and strategic execution. Investment remained focused on cloud, automation, AI-related initiatives and selected customer-facing expertise.
Targets & Ambitions
Considering the strong H1 revenue growth, significant margin expansion and increased visibility provided by its recurring revenue base, 74Software is raising its 2026 guidance.
| 2026 Guidance and Medium-term ambition | |
| FY 2026 Updated Guidance at constant exchange rates |
– Organic revenue growth: 3% to 5% 4% to 6% – Margin on operating activities: 15% to 17% 16% to 18% – Unlevered free cash flow: around 10% of revenue (unchanged) |
| Medium-term ambition | – Revenue close to €800m and margin on operating activities ~ 20% by end-2028 – €1bn revenue ambition over the medium term, including selective acquisitions |
