Pliezhausen, 12 August 2025. DATAGROUP SE (WKN: A0JC8S) today publishes the financial results of the third quarter 2024/2025 and the first nine months of 2024/2025. Both in the third quarter of 2024/2025 and the first nine months of 2024/2025 DATAGROUP has continued to grow in a market environment that remains challenging. Development in earnings reflects the ongoing investments in the future fields of artificial intelligence, cyber security and cloud technologies, and is in line with expectations at an EBIT margin of 8.0 %. In the first nine months of 2024/2025, orders from new customers added up to roughly EUR 23m, while cross- and upselling contracts worth approximately EUR 15m were secured. The outlook for the full year 2024/2025 is confirmed.
Revenue was up slightly by 3.4 % to EUR 136.3m in the third quarter of 2024/2025 (PY EUR 131.8m) and 9.3 % to EUR 416.1m in the first nine months of 2024/2025 (PY EUR 380.5m). Accordingly, gross profit was up 9.2 % to EUR 296.1m (PY EUR 271.3m).
EBITDA came to EUR 60.9m (PY EUR 58.3m) and EBIT to EUR 33.5m (PY EUR 32.2m). The EBIT margin thus stood at 8.0 % after the first nine months of 2024/2025 versus 8.5 % in the prior-year period. “Our growth demonstrates that our solid business model differentiates us from the competition and secures sustainable development. Customer projects, such as supporting Degussa Goldhandel on their growth path or the digitalization of student finance in the federal state of Hesse, illustrate that we convince in both highly productive, standardized CORBOX services and customized, individual IT solutions tailored to our clients’ specific needs”, says DATAGROUP’s CEO Andreas Baresel, commenting on the results.
The balance sheet total increased to EUR 569.9m (30.09.2024: EUR 537.4m) in comparison to the end of the fiscal year. The equity ratio of 28.9 % slightly exceeds the level at the end of the fiscal year (30.09.2024: 28.6 %). Liquid funds amounted to EUR 28.5m (30.09.2024: EUR 36.6m).
Total net debt was EUR 175.9m on 30.06.2025 compared to EUR 139.1m at the end of the fiscal year on 30.09.2024. This increase is mainly attributable to the acquisition of Tarador (EUR 8.3m), earn-out payments (EUR 5.2m), the dividend payment of EUR 8.3m and the share buyback of EUR 2.1m. Accordingly, the net debt to EBITDA ratio is 2.2 (30.09.2024: 1.7). Cash inflow from operating activities was EUR 13.8m (PY EUR 29.0m).

Pliezhausen, 27 May 2025. DATAGROUP SE (WKN: A0JC8S) today publishes its financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2024/2025. Revenue in the second quarter and first half of 2024/2025 grew at a double-digit rate each. Development in earnings continues to reflect the ongoing investments in the future fields of artificial intelligence, cyber security and cloud technologies as scheduled, and is in line with expectations at an EBIT margin of 8.1 %. In the first half of 2024/2025, orders from new customers added up to EUR 18.1m, while cross- and upselling contracts worth EUR 10.6m have been secured. The outlook for the full year 2024/2025 is confirmed.
Revenue was up 10.1 % to EUR 140.5m in the second quarter (PY EUR 127.7m) and 12.5 % to EUR 279.8m in the first half of 2024/2025 (PY EUR 248.7m). The change in the service mix with a higher proportion of hardware resulted in an increase in material expenses by 17.2 % to EUR 85.0m (PY EUR 72.5m) in H1 2024/2025. Personnel expenses rose to EUR 141.2m (PY EUR 128.6m) on the back of a higher headcount which is due to new acquisitions and an increase in staff. As a result of the significant increase in material expenses, gross profit grew at a slightly lower rate of 11.1 % to EUR 196.5m (PY EUR 176.9m).
EBITDA came in at EUR 41.4m (PY EUR 38.1m) and EBIT was EUR 22.6m (PY EUR 20.8m). Accordingly, the EBIT margin was 8.1 % in the first half after 8.3 % in the prior-year period.
The balance sheet total increased to EUR 558.6m (30.09.2024: EUR 537.4m) in comparison to the end of the fiscal year. The equity ratio of 28.4 % is at virtually the same level as at the end of the fiscal year (30.09.2024: 28.6 %). Liquid funds amounted to EUR 34.9m (30.09.2024: EUR 36.6m).
Total net debt was EUR 166.1m at the end of the first half compared to EUR 139.1m at the end of the fiscal year on 30.09.2024. This increase is mainly attributable to the acquisition of Tarador (EUR 9.4m), the dividend payment of EUR 8.3m and the share buyback of EUR 2.1m. Accordingly, the net debt to EBITDA ratio is 2.0 (30.09.2024: 1.7). The cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 11.3m (PY EUR 17.0m), which was primarily driven by an increase in trade receivables.

Pliezhausen, 20 February 2025. DATAGROUP SE (WKN: A0JC8S) today publishes the 2024/2025 first-quarter financial results. The strong new customer business of the past fiscal year 2023/2024 is reflected in a continuous significant increase in quarterly revenue. Total revenue has grown by 15 % in the first quarter of 2024/2025, organic growth was up 8 % versus the prior-year quarter. In the first quarter of 2024/2025, orders from new customers added up to EUR 11.6m, while cross- and upselling contracts worth EUR 7.1m have been secured. The clear focus on organic growth continues to pay off.
Operating earnings were burdened by the implementation of new customer orders, leading to a corresponding higher proportion of hardware in revenue as well as transition and start-up costs. The change in the product mix with a higher proportion of hardware resulted in an increase in material expenses of 26.6 % to EUR 44.2m (PY EUR 34.9), personnel expenses rose to EUR 70.2m (PY EUR 62.9m) on the back of a higher headcount which is due to new acquisitions and an increase in staff in future fields.
EBITDA came in at EUR 17.6m (PY EUR 18.5m) and EBIT was EUR 9.2m (PY EUR 10.1m). Accordingly, the EBIT margin was 6.6 % in the first quarter after 8.4 % in the prior-year quarter.
“Our focus on organic growth makes an impact: Revenue has increased significantly in a challenging market environment. It is true that the associated investments weigh on earnings in the short term, however, they are the foundation for our sustainable success. In the long term, it will strengthen our resilience and the stability of our business model”, says DATAGROUP’s CEO Andreas Baresel, commenting on the results. “Growth takes priority over margin in this environment. We have invested in our new customers, transitions cost money, this has temporarily burdened our margin as scheduled. On a full-year basis, we expect margins to return to a ‘normal’ level.”
In the first quarter of 2024/2025, the balance sheet total increased to EUR 546.1m (30.09.2024: EUR 537.4m). The equity ratio remained at 28.6 % at the balance sheet date. Liquid funds dropped slightly to EUR 35.0m (30.09.2024: EUR 36.6m).
Net debt was EUR 155.6m at the end of the first quarter (30.09.2024: EUR 139.1m). This increase was mainly driven by the acquisition of TARADOR, the share buyback as well as rollout projects. Accordingly, the net debt to EBITDA ratio is 1,79 (30.09.2024: 1.7). Cash flow is slightly negative with a cash outflow from operating activities of EUR -0.4m after a cash inflow of EUR 12.7m in the quarter a year before, which is mainly attributable to a substantial reduction of trade payables.
DATAGROUP has registered strong growth in new customer business in the first quarter. The new contracts include IT outsourcing, cyber security, cloud services and workplace management as well as other CORBOX services. The major order from kubus IT, the IT service provider of AOK Bavaria and AOK PLUS, is a particularly important contract conclusion. It covers the provisioning of workplace services for over 17,000 workplaces. The large number of new customer orders from different industries confirms the strong market position of DATAGROUP and underlines the relevance of professional services for high-performance IT.
DATAGROUP increasingly focuses on organic growth and the continuous expansion of the company’s service portfolio. At the same time, targeted strategic investments are made to continue to expand the company organically as well. The acquisition of TARADOR GmbH in the first quarter is an example of this approach: As an established IT service provider with a clear focus on small and medium-sized companies as well as public institutions, TARADOR is an ideal addition to the existing portfolio of DATAGROUP. The newly gained expertise strengthens the cyber security skills within the group and contributes to the DATAGROUP’s sustainable growth strategy. This integration also leads to significant cross- and upselling potential, which likewise drives organic growth and further optimizes the services offered to customers.
DATAGROUP has invited its shareholders to the ordinary Annual General Meeting on 18 March 2025 at the company’s headquarters in Pliezhausen. On the same day, the company will publish its guidance for fiscal year 2024/2025.
Two conference calls with Andreas Baresel, CEO/CFO, on the preliminary first quarter results 2024/2025 will be hosted on 20 February 2025.

Pliezhausen, January 28, 2025 – DATAGROUP SE (WKN A0JC8S) today publishes the audited consolidated financial statements for financial year 2023/2024, confirming the preliminary fiscal year figures already published on November 21, 2024.
DATAGROUP generated revenue growth of 6.0 % to EUR 527.6m in financial year 2023/2024 and thus reached the upper end of the guidance (EUR 510-530m). This sales growth includes the sales contributions of the three companies acquired in the 2023/2024 financial year: conplus, iT Total and ISC Innovative Systems Consulting organic sales growth of around 1% was in line with planning. The operating result also reached the upper end of the forecast with EBITDA of EUR 80.4m (guidance: EUR 77-81m) and EBIT of EUR 45.8m (guidance: EUR 43-46m) despite investments in the three future fields of cyber security, AI and cloud, which had a negative impact on earnings in the 2023/2024 financial year as planned.
“The revenue increase in financial year 2023/2024 reflects the benefits of our growth strategy. The continuous expansion of our competencies in future-oriented technology fields will continue to position us as a reliable partner for our customers and as an attractive investment”, explains Andreas Baresel, CEO of DATAGROUP.
At EUR 26.1m, net profit for the year was below the previous year’s figure (EUR 28.3m) due to higher borrowing costs. Earnings per share therefore amounted to EUR 3.13 compared to EUR 3.39 in the previous year. Further details can be found in the audited consolidated financial statements at www.datagroup.de/en/publications.
On the basis of the figures presented and in view of the share buyback program that has already been implemented, under which shares worth EUR 2.1m were bought back, the Supervisory Board and the Management Board of DATAGROUP SE have decided to propose a dividend of EUR 1.00 per share (previous year: EUR 1.50 per share) to the Annual General Meeting to be held on March 18, 2025. This corresponds to a total dividend payout of EUR 8.3m (previous year EUR 12.5m). The proposed dividend plus the value of the the 50,756 shares bought back at the end of 2024 at a total value of EUR 2.14m is therefore in line with DATAGROUP’s historical distribution policy, which provides for a payout ratio of around 40 % of net income.
In total, new customer orders and contract expansions through cross-selling and upselling totaling around EUR 50m in future annual revenue were achieved in the past financial year. CORBOX’s business remains robust in the current financial year 2024/2025, which is why the management is confident about the further course of the financial year:
“Our strength continues to lie in our CORBOX core business, which also impressed with a pleasing increase in customers in the 2023/2024 financial year. These figures confirm the high added value that our services create for companies of all sizes,” says Baresel.
The specific outlook for the current financial year 2024/2025 will be announced at the Annual General Meeting on March 18, 2025
The audited consolidated financial statements 2023/2024 are available on the DATAGROUP website at www.datagroup.de/en/publications.

Pliezhausen, 20 January 2025 – DATAGROUP presents the new generation of the CORBOX: This version of the modular IT outsourcing kit offers advanced protection against cyber-attacks, flexible cloud options, current compliance and AI-supported automation. DATAGROUP’s new CORBOX modules are specifically aimed at the growing security requirements and regulatory guidance for companies in Germany.
DATAGROUP, a leading German IT service provider, launches the seventh generation of the CORBOX, its modular IT outsourcing kit. Some adjustments were made with a view to the changing requirements of companies in Germany and the focus is placed on four core services: CORSecurity, CORCloud, CORCompliance und CORIntelligence. They are deeply integrated into every service and ensure security, efficiency, adaptability and support customers to comply with the NIS2.
For more than ten years, CORBOX has been DATAGROUP’s established IT outsourcing product. The modular design of the services gives companies the flexibility to individually select those services they need. The new CORBOX includes nine modules which are specifically tailored to the needs of a dynamic business world: Cloud Services, SAP Services, Application & Data Management, Network Services, Security Services, Communication & Collaboration, Workplace Services, Compliance Services and Service Desk.
“The CORBOX provides our customers with services that are not only geared towards the highest security and compliance requirements but also offer the flexibility to integrate new technologies in a way that exactly aligns with their IT strategy”, explains Andreas Baresel, Chief Executive Officer of DATAGROUP. “It is our aim to support companies in an increasingly complex digital world while giving them the future viability they need.”
Comprehensive extensions in IT security are an essential component of the new CORBOX generation since this area is the foundation of every modern IT landscape. CORSecurity provides extensive protection, which is integrated at all levels of the CORBOX, from infrastructure up to individual applications. This integrated security architecture offers effective defensive measures against cyber threats and ensures security, particularly in sensible areas such as critical infrastructures. The CORBOX also assists companies in flexibly addressing the growing regulatory requirements such as NIS2. DATAGROUP’s CORCompliance core service provides customers with ready-to-use services that meet these requirements – for industries which are already regulated as well as for companies which did not have to deal with regulatory requirements before.
As cloud technologies continue to be the center of digital transformation, CORCloud allows companies to use the appropriate cloud for their individual needs. The multi-cloud management of the CORBOX seamlessly connects different cloud models such as private, enterprise, sovereign or hyperscaler clouds and offers scalability and adaptability to the changing business needs.
The integration of intelligent automation solutions is a decisive step in the further development of modern IT services. CORIntelligence helps to increase efficiency, optimize processes and, at the same time, to maintain services that were individually adapted. By using its own AI technologies, DATAGROUP adds pioneering automation to every service of the CORBOX. Thanks to the implementation of CORIntelligence, customers have even more flexible, responsive IT support with efficiency being increased.
