Filderstadt, 4 February 2026 – All for One Group SE, a leading international IT, consulting and service provider focusing on SAP solutions and services, generated sales revenue of EUR 125.8 million in the 3-month period 2025/26 based on unaudited figures (Q1 24/25: EUR 134.2 million), 6% down on the prior-year figure. The ongoing weak economy in German-speaking countries, particularly within the industrial sector, and the resulting reluctance of companies to invest, meant that customers and prospects did not place orders to the planned extent, resulting in postponements. This led to lower capacity utilisation in consulting (minus 7%) and a significant decline in software and support revenue (minus 13%) in the 1st quarter 2025/26. Recurring revenues increased slightly by 0.3% to EUR 67.1 million and account for 53% (50% in the same period last year) of total revenues. Cloud services revenue continued its upward trend, rising by 3% to EUR 38.0 million. Influenced by subdued demand and lower revenue from licences and commissions, EBIT before M&A effects (non-IFRS) in the 3-month period 2025/26 was EUR 6.6 million (Q1 24/25: EUR 11.0 million), a reduction of 40%. This corresponds to an EBIT margin before M&A effects (non-IFRS) of 5.3% (8.2% in the same period last year).
 

Revenue and earnings development by segment

Since the 2025/26 financial year, All for One's internal organisational and reporting structure has been based on a matrix model (»All for One Operating Model«), which incorporates both regional and business area responsibilities. External reporting is based on the geographical regions that form the Group's operating segments:

• Germany
• Rest of Europe (Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Benelux)
• Rest of the World (Türkiye, Egypt).

Until 30 September 2025, All for One was organised and managed primarily on the basis of the two segments »CORE« and »LOB«. For the purpose of comparability, the previous year's figures have been adjusted.

The management board of All for One Group SE manages the respective segments based on the following two performance indicators:

• Sales revenue
• EBIT before M&A effects (non-IFRS), adjusted for central Group expenses (»segment result«)

To assess and better compare operating performance over time, management uses operating earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), as reported in the statement of profit and loss. This is adjusted for acquisition-related income and expenses (EBIT before M&A effects (non-IFRS)) as well as central Group expenses. Acquisition-related income and expenses include amortisation and impairment on intangible assets acquired during company acquisitions, in particular. Central Group expenses primarily comprise personnel expenses for central Group functions.

 

In the 1st quarter 2025/26, the »Germany« segment generated sales revenue of EUR 101.8 million (Q1 24/25: EUR 108.7 million), making it the largest buiness segment. The decline of 6% was mainly due to lower capacity utilisation in consulting. The segment result amounted to EUR 8.1 million and reflects the challenging market environment with a decline of EUR 2.8 million compared to the prior-year. The segment result margin reached 8.0% (Q1 24/25: 10.1%). In the »Rest of Europe« segment, sales revenue declined slightly to EUR 29.8 million (Q1 24/25: EUR 31.4 million). The segment result fell to EUR 1.5 million (Q1 24/25: EUR 3.3 million), corresponding to a segment result margin of 5.2% (Q1 24/25: 10.4%). Business outside Europe remains small in terms of volume, but is developing steadily and profitably: Sales revenue rose slightly to EUR 3.0 million (Q1 24/25: EUR 2.9 million), accompanied by an increase in the segment result to EUR 0.3 million (Q1 24/25: EUR 0.2 million) and a segment result margin of 9.1% (Q1 24/25: 7.3%).

The balance sheet total amounted to EUR 367.1 million as at 31 December 2025 (30 Sep 2025: EUR 330.7 million). Equity rose by 2% to EUR 111.8 million in the reporting period (30 Sep 2025: EUR 109.6 million). Despite this increase, the equity ratio fell to 30% (30 Sep 2025: 33%) due to the taking out of new promissory note loans. Net debt was EUR 48.4 million at the reporting date (30 Sep 2025: EUR 43.0 million), reflecting a continued solid liquidity and debt position. Cash flow from operating activities totalled minus EUR 1.1 million in the reporting period (Q1 25/26: minus EUR 7.3 million). At the same time, the development is being dampened by the low result for the period. Cash funds totalled EUR 107.1 million as of 31 December 2025 (31 Dec 2024: EUR 48.6 million), significantly influenced by the taking out of new promissory note loans. The number of employees in the Group as at 31 December 2025 was 2,639 (31 Dec 2024: 2,777).

Strategic orientation confirmed – New operating model supports internationalisation and future growth

Despite the current weakness in demand, All for One expects to resume growth when the economy in Central Europe picks up. This is based on the consistent restructuring of the business model into a globally oriented service and consulting company with a clear SAP focus for midmarket and upper midmaket companies. The »land and expand« strategy, together with the new operating model featuring a scalable matrix organisation, will enable the provision of end-to-end solutions from a single source. Additionally, the high-margin, predictable product business under the blue-zone brand will be expanded further. Increased internationalisation, the expansion of x-shore locations and targeted acquisitions will support the growth strategy, opening up new markets and strengthening the focus on services and industries.

Acquisition of international SAP procurement specialist »apsolut Group«

In December 2025, All for One Group SE signed an agreement to acquire apsolut GmbH, a Bielefeld-based international SAP procurement specialist, and selected subsidiaries of the »apsolut Group«, in order to expand its market position in the SAP environment. This acquisition will strengthen All for One's business in the SAP procurement sector, while also expanding its international presence in several European countries, as well as India and the United Arab Emirates. »apsolut Group« brings extensive expertise in SAP procurement, a customer base of over 400 predominantly upper midmarket clients, and several hundred specialised consultants. The transaction is expected to be completed in the 1st quarter of 2026 and will support the strategic objective of offering customers even more comprehensive SAP transformation services from a single source in the future.

Market for digitalisation and transformation set to grow

The industry association Bitkom expects sustained growth in the IT sector in Germany in 2026, driven primarily by software, cloud computing and artificial intelligence. IT services are growing moderately, with cloud-based services already accounting for around two-thirds of sales. Currently, however, the uncertain macroeconomic environment is causing many customers to postpone or spread out their investments in IT. Even though the need for digitalisation and transformation, as well as the introduction of integrated SAP cloud solutions for corporate management, is obvious, uncertainty about business development, customs increases and their own order situation is forcing companies to adjust their investment budgets.

Outlook confirmed

The management board continues to adhere to its forecast for the 2025/26 financial year – without taking into account the agreement already signed on the acquisition of the »apsolut Group«. Based on current knowledge, the management board continues to expect sales revenue (IFRS) for the 2025/26 financial year to be in a range of EUR 500 million to EUR 530 million. EBIT before M&A effects (non-IFRS) is expected to range between EUR 27.5 million and EUR 34.5 million, with a corresponding EBIT margin before M&A effects (non-IFRS) between 5.5% and 6.5%.

Against a backdrop of stagnating core markets and global uncertainty, it remains difficult to provide a concrete medium-term outlook. Despite the challenging economic situation in All for One’s core markets, the management board anticipates a further stustained increase in EBIT before M&A effects (non-IFRS) for the 2026/27 financial year. In addition, the management board expects that the currently delayed transition of individual customers to the cloud will merely be postponed and will then be implemented with increasing momentum, so that a significant increase in sales revenue can be expected in the future.
