SoftwareONE, the Switzerland-headquartered software and cloud solutions provider, delivered a strong financial performance in 2025, recording a 22.5% jump in total revenue largely fueled by its strategic acquisition of Crayon. The milestone underscores the company's aggressive expansion strategy in the competitive global IT services landscape.
Adjusted earnings per share climbed to CHF 0.48, a modest improvement over the previous year, while reported earnings per share settled at CHF 0. The company posted an adjusted EBITDA of CHF 277 million alongside a reported EBITDA of CHF 207.60 million. Operating cash flow for the full year came in at CHF 268.60 million, reflecting solid underlying business momentum.
Not all segments performed equally. Revenue from the Direct business unit faced pressure stemming from changes in Microsoft incentive programs, though the headwinds showed signs of easing during the fourth quarter. Fortunately, the Channel and Services segments delivered meaningful growth that more than compensated for the shortfall. Within Services, cybersecurity solutions, AWS cloud services, and IT asset management emerged as the primary growth engines, highlighting strong enterprise demand across these verticals.
Margin improvement was attributed to an ongoing cost reduction program, effective integration synergies from the Crayon deal, and disciplined cost management across the organization — all of which helped strengthen profitability despite mixed segment performance.
Looking ahead to 2026, SoftwareONE has issued an optimistic outlook. Management anticipates mid-single-digit revenue growth on a combined like-for-like basis in constant currency terms, along with an adjusted EBITDA margin exceeding 23%. The company is also targeting CHF 100 million in run-rate cost synergies by year-end 2026, a goal that reflects confidence in the continued integration benefits from Crayon.
On capital allocation, SoftwareONE confirmed that repurchased shares will be directed toward share-based employee remuneration programs rather than outright cancellation.
