Exasol Confirms Preliminary Figures for the First Nine Months of 2025 – Strong ARR Growth in Focus Industries
 

• ARR growth in focus industries of 24% to EUR 26.9 million (share of total ARR: 69%)
• Meaningful ARR growth momentum expected in 2026

Nuremberg, November 12, 2025: Exasol AG (ISIN DE000A0LR9G9), a global technology company and provider of a high-performance analytics engine, has published its final figures for the first nine months of 2025. The results are in line with the preliminary figures released on October 27, 2025.

Revenue increased by 8.9% to EUR 31.7 million compared to the first nine months of 2024, primarily driven by solid performance with customers in focus industries as well as services that were billed on a one-off basis in the first quarter of 2025. EBITDA for the first nine months came in at EUR 3.0 million, well above the prior-year level of EUR 1.0 million. Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) declined by 4.1% to EUR 39.0 million (9M 2024: EUR 40.6 million), as a result of a faster-than-expected reduction of business in non-focus industries and the shifting of contract signings with new and existing customers in focus industries into the 2026 financial year.

The ARR growth trend with customers in focus industries was once again confirmed in the first nine months of 2025: ARR from focus customers rose 24.0% to EUR 26.9 million by the end of Q3 2025.

Confirmation of Guidance Specified on October 27, 2025

For the 2025 financial year, Exasol expects revenue growth in the mid-single-digit percentage range, EBITDA in the range of EUR 3.5 million to EUR 4.0 million, and a single-digit percentage decline in ARR.

Meaningful ARR Growth Momentum Expected in the 2026 Financial Year

In the 2026 financial year, Exasol expects ARR churn to be reduced by half compared to 2025. Together with the MariaDB partnership and the resulting opportunities, as well as progress toward project signings with new and existing customers during the current financial year, Exasol anticipates meaningful ARR growth momentum in the coming year.
