FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

IVU continues growth trajectory in fiscal 2025. Revenue increased by 17% year-on-year to €63,968 thousand (2024: €54,731 thousand). Due to increased hardware and hosting revenue, cost of materials including expenses for services purchased increased by 34% to €12,747 thousand (2024: €9,515 thousand). The gross profit increased by 11% to €51,574 thousand (2024: €46,418 thousand).

Personnel expenses increased by 10% to €40,273 thousand (2024: €36,720 thousand) - partly due to the increase in personnel capacity by an average of 5% to 877 FTE (2024: 834 FTE) - and partly due to salary increases.

At €7,896 thousand (2024: €7,112 thousand), other expenses were slightly higher than in the same period of the previous year mainly due to increases in IT costs and higher distribution costs.

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) are higher than in the same period of the previous year at €1,011 thousand (2024: €246 thousand) and correspond to IVU's typical seasonal business performance.

IVU's cash flow from operating activities of €6,211 thousand (2024: €-3,138 thousand) was significantly higher than in the same period of the previous year. This is due to higher project revenues and lower income tax payments. Offsetting this is the use of a provision of €2.7 million in connection with a past international project. Cash flow from financing activities includes the purchase of own shares in the amount of €426 thousand.

IVU's solutions continue to be in high demand. The current order backlog of more than €140 million for 2025 covers the planned annual revenue for the current financial year. Our focus is now on completing the projects on schedule.

OUTLOOK

IVU is well positioned in terms of its personnel, technology, and financial resources: high liquidity, a good number of commissions and increasing recurring revenues.

For the current financial year 2025, we continue to project a group revenue of over €140 million (2024: €133.7 million), a gross profit of over €120 million (2024: €113.4 million) and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of around €18 million (2024: €16.8 million).

Important projects

AVL OPTS FOR IVU'S INTELLIGENT DEPOT AND CHARGING MANAGE-MENT SYSTEM

Autobus de la Ville de Luxembourg (AVL) will use IVU's IT solutions for depot and charging management to efficiently control its growing fleet of electric buses: IVU.vehicle automates vehicle deployment, while IVU.charge and IVU.forecast use intelligent algorithms to optimise charging times and ensure that buses are always at the ideal state of charge. AVL operates a dense transport network with 31 lines in Luxembourg City and the surrounding area. The fleet comprises 134 buses, with the proportion of electric buses rising steadily: by 2024, 37 e-buses were already in service for AVL, and the entire fleet is to be converted to electric operation by 2026.

IVU.RAIL AT SBB – CONCEPT PHASE SUCCESSFULLY IMPLE-MENTED

Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) is modernising its IT landscape in passenger transport and will in the future use the integrated software IVU.rail, to plan, optimise and dispatch vehicles and personnel. With around 35,000 employees and over 11,500 trains operating every day SBB is Switzerland's largest railway company – and internationally renowned for quality and punctuality. To ensure that this remains the case even as complexity increases, SBB has opted for IVU.rail – a leading global IT solution for managing two important resources: vehicles and personnel. Intelligent algorithms ensure greater efficiency and accuracy in planning and day-to-day operations.

SWEDISH STATE RAILWAY SJ AB TRANSITIONS TO IVU.CLOUD

The Swedish state railway SJ AB (SJ) has taken the next step in digitalisation: With immediate effect, the company is using IVU.cloud from IVU for hosting, thus ensuring that its IT is managed reliably and always up to date. With over 6,800 employees and around 700 vehicles, the Swedish state railway SJ is the largest railway company in Sweden and offers national and international train connections. SJ has been planning and scheduling its vehicles and employees with the integrated IVU.rail software for many years. Within just a few months, the entire technical operational management was migrated to IVU.cloud, ensuring high performance and a high degree of availability of IVU.rail.

IVU LAUNCHES IVU.SOLUTIONS – A SUBSIDIARY FOR INDIVIDUALISED IT SOLUTIONS

IVU expands its business areas with the founding of a new subsidiary: IVU.solutions. The company specialises in the development of custom software that is precisely tailored to the needs of individual transport operators. The standard software IVU.suite meets the requirements of transport operators all over the world and supports them in the digitalisation of their processes. Nevertheless, there are cases in which specific customisations are required, such as interfaces to third-party systems or the development of supplementary modules. With the launch of IVU.solutions, IVU is expanding its range of services to cover these individual needs, too. The new subsidiary develops customised software solutions, drawing on IVU's many years of IT expertise.

Personnel

PERSONNEL

Personnel capacity increased in the first half year of 2025 in comparison to the same period of the previous year by 5% to 877 FTE. The increase is mainly due to recruitment in 2024.

1 Personnel capacity refers to the calculated number of full-time employees (full-time equivalent – FTE).

In 2024, we have succeeded once again in hiring many new talents and filling all the vacancies as planned. At the same time the fluctuation rate remains one of the lowest in the IT sector. With more than 1,000 employees, IVU is well positioned, and the personnel growth will slow down as planned.

SHARE BUYBACK

Since 28 October 2024, IVU has been carrying out a share buyback programme, in which a total of 27,961 own shares were acquired until 16 January 2025 at a total price of €422 thousand. This corresponds to 0.16 % of the share capital of IVU Traffic Technologies AG.

The resolution was based on the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting on 29 May 2024 to acquire shares in the company until 28 May 2029 for any purpose permitted by section 71(1) no. 8 of the Aktiengesetz (AktG-German Stock Corporation Act). In particular, this also includes using the shares to serve Executive Board remuneration and employee participation programmes.

The shares were acquired by a credit institution commissioned by the company exclusively via the stock exchange (XETRA trading). Detailed information can be found on the company´s website at https://www.ivu.com/investors/share.

RISKS

The risks are described on pages 69 to 73 of the 2024 annual report. There have been no new risks.
