Hybrid Software Group has reported revenue growth and higher operating profit for 2025, alongside a sharp increase in net cash.
The Cambridge-headquartered company recorded revenue of €54.4m (£47.0 million) for the year ended 31 December 2025, up 6% from 2024. Adjusted operating profit rose 17% year-on-year to €8.5m (£7.3m), while EBITDA increased to €12.6m (£10.8m). The group’s cash balance reached €14.5m (£12.5m) at year end, up 52% from the previous year, with net cash rising 252% to €10.6m (£9.1m).
CEO of the company Mike Rottenborn said the results reflected both improved financial performance and strategic expansion. “I’m pleased with the improvement in revenue and operating profit we delivered in 2025, but the strength of Hybrid Software is also reflected in our cash flow.”
During the year the group simplified its structure by rebranding its OEM software business as Hybrid Software Helix and aligning its main divisions – Labels & Packaging, Brandz, ColorLogic and Helix – under a unified Hybrid Software brand. The company also introduced a range of new technologies, including the CloudFlow Datacenter enterprise workflow platform, the Colorspace automated colour management system and the Mako Apex GPU-accelerated graphics rendering toolkit. Developments also included Nozzle Health Technology from Meteor Inkjet and the launch of the K2 automated workflow solution from Xitron.
The group also expanded its Brandz division through acquisitions, adding the packaging artwork management platform Artflow and project management and customer-service automation capabilities through the purchase of Conics.
Executive chairman of Hybrid Software Guido Van der Schueren said the company’s performance was largely driven by organic growth. “I’m pleased to report that 2025 was a record year for Hybrid Software in both revenue and operating profit,” he said. “Our 2025 results came mainly from organic growth, not from acquisitions or from any major industry trade show. High interest rates and geopolitical uncertainty have become the norm, but we have learned to operate under those conditions with lean management, fast execution and continued investment in innovative products.”
Hybrid Software said it expects continued organic growth in 2026, driven by increasing automation requirements in developing markets and closer integration across its portfolio, which spans digital press electronics, digital front-ends, artwork management, prepress tools and colour management technologies.
