The gross profit margin improved to 44.2 percent (H1 2025: 41.8 percent). At the same time, the efficiency-enhancing measures introduced last year and the continued rigorous cost discipline led to a significant rise in key earnings figures.

Germany segment sees significant rise in EBITDA

With stable revenue of € 500.7 million (H1.25: € 499.6 million) in the Germany business segment during the first half of the year, profitability was further strengthened. Consequently, EBITDA rose very significantly to € 30.6 million (H1.25: € 13.7 million). In the International business segment, revenue stood at € 275.2 million (H1.25: € 304.2 million). EBITDA amounted to € 18.6 million (H1.25: € 23.0 million).

“The first half of 2026 was noticeably affected by delayed investment decisions on the part of our customers. At the same time, we have significantly increased our operational profitability and sustainably strengthened the earnings power of our business. This demonstrates that our strategic focus and measures for consistent cost control are taking effect. Our customers’ need to deploy artificial intelligence (AI) productively, to strengthen their digital resilience and to expand their technological sovereignty remains as high as ever. We believe we are well positioned to capitalise on these long-term growth prospects,” said Rüdiger Rath, CEO of CANCOM SE.

Solid balance sheet structure and reaffirmed forecast

Investments in working capital resulted in an operating cash flow of € -109.6 million in the first half of 2026 (H1 2025: € +0.9 million). As at 30 June 2026, the CANCOM Group held cash and cash equivalents amounting to € 21.5 million.

Given that the Executive Board’s assessment of both the economic and sector-specific operating environment remains unchanged, CANCOM SE confirms its forecast for the 2026 financial year:
