Conclusion | Marco Santos (Global CEO)
New calculation of EBIT adjusted
GFT has changed the calculation method of the EBIT adjusted from FY 2025 onwards in line with the practice of peer companies. Previous year's figures per quarter are recalculated accordingly. The new calculation of the EBIT adjusted is as follows:
EBIT adjusted
- M&A effects
- Capacity adjustments (NEW!)
- +/- Share price related effects from valuation of management remuneration
+/- Other extraordinary items (NEW!)
EBIT
New EBIT adjusted definition:
EBIT adjusted reflects the Group's operating performance by excluding extraordinary effects, such as share price-based effects from the measurement of remuneration agreements, personnel capacity adjustments, impacts from business combinations, and other items outside the ordinary course of business. Effects from business combinations primarily include the amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired through corporate transactions or separately acquired intellectual property, acquisition-related compensation to employees or selling shareholders, and transaction or integration costs impacting earnings. Gains/losses from the disposal of shareholdings are also included.

Cash flow analysis (€m) – Reduction of financial debt

** Cash flow from operating activities less investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment (excluding investments in connection with business combinations) and payments for lease liabilities.; for details, see key performance indicators (gft.com)
- €-42.53m) predominantly due to operating activities | undrawn credit lines up to €62.76m (31/12/2024: €51.20m)
- Cash flow from operating activities of €-4.31m (Q1/2024: €6.42m) impacted by increased amount of funds tied up in working capital, especially in customer receivables – following highly positive effects in Q4/2024 from significant payments by major clients. Additionally, bonuses paid out in Q1/2025
- Cash flow from investing activities of €-0.43m (Q1/2024: €-79.80m) on low level. Previous year's cash outflows substantially related to Sophos acquisition
- Cash flow from financing activities of €-14.92m (Q1/2024: €67.92m) primarily characterised by (net) loan repayments of €11.82m (Q1/2024: net borrowings of €70.80m)
- Lower free cash flow adjusted** of €-7.92m (Q1/2024: €2.70m) largely due to decrease in operating cash flow
Balance sheet (€m) – Improved equity ratio
- Balance sheet total down by 4% to €626.38m (31/12/2024: €652.65m) – mainly due to redemption of bank loans
- Non-current assets decreased to €333.64m (31/12/2024: €339.83m) resulting from currency-related revaluation of goodwill and scheduled depreciation on property, plant and equipment. Non-current assets as a proportion of total assets amounted to 53% (31/12/2024: 52%)
- Decline in Cash and cash equivalents by €19.74m to €60.46m primarily attributed to repayment of bank liabilities
- Other current assets of €232.28m in essence at prior year-end level (31/12/2024: €232.62m). Other current assets substantially comprise of receivables from customers of €187.15m (31/12/2024: €185.81m) Non-current assets

- Increase of equity attributed to net profit for the period of €7.09m (Q1/2024: €10.62m) – with adverse currency translation effects amounting to €-3.85m | equity ratio improved two percentage points to 44% (31/12/2024: 42%)
- Non-current liabilities of €119.23m slightly below previous year-end level (31/12/2024: €121.98m). Decrease substantially associated with lower lease liabilities
- Current liabilities down to €232.74m (31/12/2024: €259.49m). Decline by €26.75m primarily caused by lower bonus provisions (€-11.43m), decreased contract liabilities (€-11.04m) and reduced financing liabilities due to redemption of bank loans (€-10.86m). Opposing effect mainly from increase of accruals for vacation entitlements (€+3.88m)
