Essen, 12 November 2025. secunet Security Networks AG (SDAX, ISIN DE0007276503), Germany's leading cybersecurity company and IT security partner to the Federal Republic of Germany, today published its Group Quarterly Statement as at 30 September 2025. According to the report, consolidated revenue rose by 11.8% to €284.8 million in the first nine months of the financial year (9M 2024: €254.8 million). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased disproportionately by 41.3% to €24.9 million.

Positive revenue development in both segments
The sustained positive sales development was primarily driven by the Public Sector segment. Here, sales rose to €249.3 million in the months from January to September 2025, up 8.7% on the previous year (9M 2024: €229.4 million). Although the longer-than-expected debate on the approval of the federal budget in Germany temporarily impacted revenue development in the third quarter of 2025, the consistently high demand in the divisions Defence&Space and Homeland Security more than offset this development. In addition, the Business Sector segment showed disproportionately strong growth with a 39.9% increase in revenue to €35.5 million (9M 2024: €25.4 million).

Significant increase in operating profit
Operating profit (EBIT) increased to €24.9 million in the same period, up 41.3% on the previous year (9M 2024: €17.6 million), while EBITDA reached €39.2 million (9M 2024: €29.7 million). Both, the increase in revenue and a lower material expense ratio contributed to the improvement in earnings.

Good development of order intake
The order situation is also developing positively. Order intake rose by 6.7% year-on-year to €313.9 million in the reporting period (9M 2024: €294.3 million). As a result, the order backlog as of 30 September 2025 increased by 2.0% compared to the previous year's reporting date to €234.4 million (€229.7 million), which represents a solid basis for further growth.

"We are very satisfied with the results for the first nine months and are well on track to achieve our annual targets," said Marc-Julian Siewert, CEO of secunet Security Networks AG. "Order intake rose significantly again in the third quarter, which shows that our growth drivers remain intact. The market for cybersecurity continues to grow strongly, making our technical solutions increasingly important for both public sector customers and private companies."

Annual outlook confirmed and specified
Thanks to the healthy order backlog and the usual seasonal momentum at the end of the year, the Management Board continues to anticipate a positive business development and confirms its outlook for the full year. Expectations for the annual revenue remain unchanged at around 425 million euros. The expectations for the EBIT margin (9.5–11.5%) and EBITDA margin (14.5–16.5%) also remain unchanged, but are specified in the interim report: Based on the good results after nine months, the Management Board expects both margin targets to be in the middle to upper range of the respective ranges at the end of the year.
