Hybrid Software posts record 2025 revenue
Organic growth drives software group to best-ever financial performance.
Hybrid Software Group has reported record revenue of 54.4 million EUR for the financial year ended December 31, 2025, a 6 percent increase on 2024, with adjusted operating profit rising 17 percent to 8.5 million EUR.
EBITDA reached 12.6 million EUR, also up 6 percent, while the company's cash balance grew 52 percent to 14.5 million EUR at year end. Net cash of 10.6 million EUR represented a 252 percent increase on the prior year, achieved while completing two strategic acquisitions during the period.
'I'm pleased with the improvement in revenue and operating profit we delivered in 2025, but the strength of Hybrid Software is also reflected in our cash flow,' said Mike Rottenborn, CEO of Hybrid Software Group. 'The company ended the year with 14.5 million EUR in cash, up 52 percent from 2024, while having completed two strategic acquisitions to broaden our technology offering.'
During 2025, the group rebranded its OEM software business as HybridSoftware Helix and aligned its core businesses, Labels & Packaging, Brandz, ColorLogic and Helix, under a unified Hybrid Software brand. Product launches across the year included CLOUDFLOW Datacenter, a high-performance Linux workflow for enterprise private clouds; Colorspace, an automated color management platform for labels and packaging; Mako Apex, a GPU-accelerated graphics rendering toolkit; and Meteor Inkjet's Nozzle Health Technology for detecting failing printheads. Xitron also launched K2, a next-generation automated workflow for commercial printing.
The group's Brandz unit acquired Artflow, a packaging artwork management platform, and also added Conics, bringing project management capabilities and an AI-driven customer service automation platform called Jaimes.
'Our 2025 results came mainly from organic growth, not from acquisitions or from any major industry trade show,' noted Guido Van der Schueren, executive chairman. 'We have learned to operate under those conditions with lean management, fast execution, and continued investment in developing and selling innovative products.'
For 2026, the company expects continued organic growth driven by rising automation needs in developing regions and increasing synergies across business units.
