Consolidated Interim Management Report
B
This interim management report of the GFT Group should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report 2024 and the additional information about the company contained therein. Unless otherwise stated, figures are in € million. All amounts are rounded in accordance with standard commercial practice.
On June 5, 2025, the Annual General Meeting elected Frank Riemensperger, founder and Managing Director of 440.digital GmbH, Dietzenbach, as well as former Chairman of the Management Board of Accenture Deutschland GmbH, Kronberg im Taunus, and former member of the Global Leadership Council, then Global Management Committee of the worldwide Accenture Group, as an additional member of the Administrative Board. As a result, the number of members of the Administrative Board has increased from seven to eight.
The key performance indicators (KPIs) used to measure the success of strategy implementation in the GFT Group continue to be revenue, adjusted EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes), and EBT (earnings before taxes).
GFT has revised its methodology for calculating adjusted EBIT with effect from January 1, 2025. The previous year's figures for each quarter have been adjusted accordingly. The new calculation of adjusted EBIT is as follows:
= EBIT
Adjusted EBIT now reflects the operating result without effects from the share price-related valuation of compensation agreements, expenses for personnel capacity adjustments, the impact of business combinations (M&A effects), and other extraordinary items. M&A effects mainly include the amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired in the course of M&A transactions, or separately acquired intellectual property, acquisition-related compensation for employees or selling shareholders, as well as transaction or integration expenses recognized in profit or loss. Gains or losses from the sale of investments are also included.
In late March 2025, GFT Technologies SE resolved to launch a public share buy-back program with a volume of up to €15 million (excluding ancillary costs). The program started on April 24 and is scheduled to be completed by October 14, 2025, at the latest.
The program will be carried out in accordance with Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 (Market Abuse Regulation). The buy-back will be carried out by an independent bank, which will itself determine when to buy the shares on the stock exchange without any influence from GFT Technologies SE. Details will be published on the Investor Relations Website.
The company may use such treasury shares for any purpose for which it was authorized by the resolution of the Annual General Meeting of June 5, 2025 (see section 4.6 of the condensed notes to the consolidated interim financial statements).
With regard to the macroeconomic development in the six months of the year, there have been several changes compared to the statements made in the Annual Report 2024.
the insurance sector. Growing customer demand for AI and a broadly diversified global revenue base
also contributed to this result.
improved significantly.
In the Continental Europe segment, revenue declined by 4% in the first half of 2025. This was mainly due to slightly lower revenue figures in Spain and Italy and a more pronounced decline in Poland. In the Americas, UK & APAC segment, GFT increased revenue by 8% – driven in particular by highly dynamic growth in Brazil
The operating result, measured in terms of adjusted EBIT, remained stable in the first six months and reached €30.14 million in the reporting period (H1/2024: €29.67 million). EBITDA (result from operating activities before depreciation and amortization) declined to €30.85 million (H1/2024: €44.43 million). EBT amounted to €19.02 million (H1/2024: €30.05 million). GFT already introduced structural adjustments in the first quarter of the year, particularly at GFT UK Ltd., London, in the UK and at its German subsidiary GFT Software Solutions GmbH, Konstanz, and expanded these in the second quarter. These capacity adjustments had a negative impact on all unadjusted earnings figures. Against this backdrop, net income for the period amounted to €13.47 million (H1/2024: €21.23 million).
and Colombia. Revenue in the USA and Canada also
After the global economy had shown resilience in the early part of the year, the economic situation and outlook deteriorated toward spring. US trade policy in particular had an adverse impact on global trade and economic activity. The resulting high level of uncertainty weighed on investment decisions around the world. In its April 2025 outlook, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reported an increase in downside risks and downgraded its full-year 2025 forecast for global economic growth from 3.3% to 2.8%.
According to the European Central Bank (ECB), the eurozone economy trended upward slightly in early 2025, buoyed by positive momentum from domestic demand and foreign trade. Against the backdrop of stronger demand for capital goods, economic activity in the manufacturing sector increased, while the service sector showed moderate growth. Real gross domestic product (GDP) in the eurozone was 0.3% in the first quarter of 2025. In the second quarter of 2025, growth slowed due to the fading effects of front-loaded exports and substantial trade policy uncertainties.
GDP growth in Germany was higher than expected at 0.4% in the first quarter of 2025. According to Germany's central bank (Bundesbank), the recovery at the beginning of the year was mainly due to the effect of front-loading exports to the USA, which helped stabilize industrial output. Consumer spending and investment activity also contributed to this positive trend. However, it did not continue over the subsequent months. Against the backdrop of higher US tariffs, economic activity slowed from April 2025 onward and GDP stagnated in the second quarter of 2025.
The market research institute Gartner recorded an increase in global IT spending during the reporting period, but noted increased caution at the beginning of the second quarter of 2025. Against a backdrop of economic uncertainty and geopolitical risks, companies around the world began to suspend net new investments. According to Gartner, this effect was cushioned by ongoing digitalization initiatives for AI and generative AI (GenAI). Revenue in the field of data center systems rose significantly, driven by generative AI. By contrast, spending on software and IT services slowed.
The German information and communication technology sector (ICT) made good progress in the first half of 2025, consistently outperforming the economy as a whole. According to the digital association Bitkom, investment rose slightly, while revenue grew significantly. The main growth driver was information technology, supported primarily by strong demand in the software segment.
Overview of Business Development The GFT Group successfully continued its growth trend in the first half of 2025 and increased revenue by 3% to €441.51 million. Excluding M&A and exchange rate effects, growth amounted to 6%. This positive development was underpinned by GFT's excellent technological positioning and the ongoing structural need for digital renewal, particularly in
The development of revenue and earnings in the first half of 2025 was below the previously announced full-year guidance. The impact of the structural adjustments mentioned above was stronger than expected. At the same time, the ongoing high level of market uncertainty during the reporting period meant that clients of the GFT Group, especially in Europe, were more reluctant to make investment decisions.
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to €−9.18 million in the reporting period (H1/2024: €−5.34 million). This development was primarily attributable to negative working capital effects, especially in connection with fixed-price projects. The dividend payment to shareholders in June also contributed to this development. Cash and cash equivalents fell year on year to €58.34 million (December 31, 2024: €80.20 million).
As of June 30, 2025, the GFT Group had a total of 11,446 employees (full-time equivalents, FTE). This represents a slight decrease of 1% compared to the end of 2024 (December 31, 2024: 11,506). The decline is mainly attributable to ongoing structural adjustments in the UK and at GFT Software Solutions (see section 2.8).
In the first half of 2025, revenue of the GFT Group rose by 3% to €441.51 million (H1/2024: €429.63 million). At €219.60 million, revenue in the second quarter was 1% up on the previous year (Q2/2024: €217.24 million).
The slight year-on-year increase in revenue was driven in particular by the Americas, UK & APAC segment. Segment revenue grew by 8% to €258.11 million (H1/2024: €238.56 million). This trend was primarily attributable to the dynamic development of business in Brazil, Colombia, the USA, and Canada. There was an opposing trend in the UK, where revenue fell by 28% in the reporting period. This was due to a deterioration in market positioning, resulting in project losses and postponements. Targeted structural measures to counteract this trend have already been initiated. In the second quarter of 2025, revenue in the Americas, UK & APAC segment rose by 7% year on year to €128.48 million (Q2/2024: €120.30 million). 0 50 100 150 200 250
In the Continental Europe segment, revenue declined by 4% year on year to €182.95 million (H1/2024: €190.61 million). Among other things, this development reflects customer restraint in Spain, Germany, and Italy due to the prevailing geopolitical uncertainties. At the same time, structural adjustments in the UK had a negative impact on the nearshore location Poland. In the second quarter of 2025, revenue in the Continental Europe segment fell by 6% year on year to €90.92 million (Q2/2024: €96.74 million).

Development of Revenue by Sector As a result of investment restraint, particularly among European banks, revenue generated with clients in the Banking sector declined by 2% to €319.30 million in the first six months (H1/2024: €325.63 million). By contrast, revenue generated with clients in the Insurance sector rose significantly by 21% year on year to €74.27 million (H1/2024: €61.16 million). This positive trend resulted mainly from digitalization projects in Canada and Latin America. Revenue from clients in the Industry & Other sector also made good progress, rising by 12% to €47.94 million (H1/2024: €42.84 million).
All in all, Banking accounted for 72% (H1/2024: 76%), Insurance for 17% (H1/2024: 14%), and Industry & Others for 11% (H1/2024: 10%) of total revenue.

Revenue by Sector in € million
In the first six months of 2025, the GFT Group increased revenue slightly by 3% to €441.51 million, compared with €429.63 million in the same period last year. Excluding M&A and currency effects, growth amounted to 6%. Exchange rate effects had a negative impact of €−16.81 million (−4%) on revenue, while M&A effects had a positive impact of €4.56 million (1%). This solid revenue performance was driven by orders from major banking and insurance clients in Latin America and North America.

Other operating income amounted to €7.13 million and was thus significantly below the prior-year figure (H1/2024: €18.18 million). In the reporting period, it mainly comprised foreign currency gains of €2.06 million (H1/2024: €1.07 million), as well as government grants (especially for R&D activities) of €3.99 million (H1/2024: €4.44 million). In the previous year, other operating income was significantly impacted by a special item from the reversal of provisions for wage tax obligations totaling €11.23 million as a result of a financial court verdict in Brazil.
was on a par with the previous year (H1/2024: €54.08 million). This item includes the purchase of external services in connection with the core operating business. The ratio of cost of purchased services to revenue fell to 12.3% in the first half of 2025 (H1/2024: 12.6%).
Personnel expenses rose by 5% to €327.68 million in the first half of 2025 (H1/2024: €313.56 million). The increase was primarily attributable to the higher average number of employees in Brazil, as well as capacity adjustments (especially in the UK) amounting to €7.02 million (H1/2024: €4.39 million). Moreover, personnel expenses were impacted by effects from the valuation of share price-related management compensation of €−0.49 million (H1/2024: €0.91 million), as well as higher social security contributions. The ratio of personnel expenses to revenue (personnel cost ratio) rose to 74.2% (H1/2024: 73.0%). The personnel cost ratio without capacity adjustments and plus the purchase of external services rose to 84.9% (H1/2024: 84.5%).
Other operating expenses remained virtually unchanged at €35.86 million (H1/2024: €35.74 million). They mainly comprise rental and maintenance expenses of €9.43 million (H1/2024: €9.32 million), personnel-related expenses of €8.22 million (H1/2024: €8.79 million), sales and marketing expenses of €4.26 million (H1/2024: €3.46 million), and auditing and consulting costs of €4.11 million (H1/2024: €5.13 million). Currency losses included in other operating expenses amounted to €3.43 million and were thus above the prior-year level (H1/2024: €1.78 million).
As a consequence, the GFT Group's EBITDA of €30.85 million was 31% below the corresponding prior-year figure (H1/2024: €44.43 million).
Depreciation and amortization of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment totaled €10.14 million (H1/2024: €12.26 million). Right-of-use assets in connection with leases accounted for €5.52 million of this amount (H1/2024: €5.50 million).
EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) amounted to €20.71 million in the first half of 2025, down 36% on the previous year (H1/2024: €32.17 million). Special items had a negative impact of €−9.43 million on EBIT, compared with €2.50 million in the prior-year period. In the first half of 2025, special items related to personnel capacity adjustments of €−7.02 million (H1/2024: €−4.39 million), effects from M&A transactions of €−1.92 million (H1/2024: €−4.47 million), and share price-related effects from the valuation of compensation agreements of €−0.49 million (H1/2024: €0.91 million). In the previous year, there was also a significant impact from one-off effects of €10.45 million resulting from the reversal of provisions in connection with a financial court verdict in Brazil. Adjusted EBIT for the first half of 2025 amounted to €30.14 million
and was thus largely unchanged from the previous year (H1/2024: €29.67 million). The development of earnings was marked by generally solid revenue growth. However, a weak business trend in the UK and cost inefficiencies at GFT Software Solutions GmbH in Germany had a significantly negative impact on operating earnings during the reporting period.
Due mainly to significantly lower interest expenses, the financial result improved to €−1.69 million in the first half of 2025 (H1/2024: €−2.12 million). The decline in interest expenses is primarily attributable to lower average financial liabilities.
EBT amounted to €19.02 million and was thus significantly below the prior-year level (H1/2024: €30.05 million). The EBT margin declined to 4.3%, compared with 7.0% in the previous year.
In the first half of 2025, an expense of €5.55 million (H1/2024: €8.82 million) was disclosed under income taxes. The imputed tax rate of 29.2% was slightly below the prior-year figure (H1/2024: 29.4%).
Net income for the first half of 2025 amounted to €13.47 million (H1/2024: €21.23 million). As a result, earnings per share decreased to €0.51 (H1/2024: €0.81). The calculation of earnings per share (basic) was based on an average number of outstanding shares of 26,252,691 (H1/2024: 26,325,946).
Further information on significant items of the consolidated income statement is provided in section 5 of the condensed notes to the consolidated interim financial statements.
EBT in the Americas, UK & APAC segment amounted to €12.18 million and was thus down €6.13 million on the previous year (H1/2024: €18.31 million). However, the prior-year result benefited from a special item of €10.45 million from the reversal of provisions for wage tax liabilities in Brazil, which limits comparability. Earnings in the current year were characterized by dynamic growth in Latin and North America, which more than offset increased capacity adjustments of €4.51 million (H1/2024: €3.34 million). These capacity adjustments were particularly significant in the UK as part of a structural transformation. M&A effects had a negative impact on EBT of €1.14 million in the first half of 2025 (H1/2024: €3.40 million). The largest contributions to earnings were generated by the Group's subsidiaries in the USA, Brazil, and Canada. The EBT margin, based on external revenue, decreased to 4.7% (H1/2024: 7.7%).
In the first six months of 2025, EBT in the Continental Europe segment amounted to €9.11 million and was thus €3.34 million below the prior-year level (H1/2024: €12.45 million). The decline in segment earnings in the reporting period was mainly due to restrained investments and the resulting decline in client demand, particularly in Spain and Italy. EBT was also burdened by increased personnel capacity adjustments of €−2.38 million (H1/2024: €−1.05 million). The largest contributions to earnings in the first half of 2025 were generated by the Group companies in Spain and Poland, as well as by the operating business of the parent company. At 5.0%, the EBT margin based on external revenue was significantly below the prioryear figure (H1/2024: 6.5%).
In the Others category, earnings of €−2.27 million were down on the previous year (H1/2024: €−0.71 million), mainly due to increased investment in growth
and higher costs for IT licenses. The Others category – presented as a reconciliation column in segment reporting – comprises items which by definition are not included in the segments. It also includes costs of the Group headquarters which are not allocated, e.g. items relating to corporate activities, or revenue which is only generated occasionally for Group activities.

The GFT Group has concluded a syndicated loan and promissory note agreements to secure its long-term funding. The syndicated loan was modified in the financial year 2024 for the purpose of financing the Sophos acquisition. The loan amounts to up to €100.00 million (December 31, 2024: €100.00 million) and comprises three tranches: a Facility A credit line of up to €20.00 million (December 31, 2024: €20.00 million), a Facility B revolving credit line of up to €40.00 million (December 31, 2024: €40.00 million), and a Facility C as a dedicated acquisition tranche of €40.00 million (December 31, 2024: €40.00 million). As of June 30, 2025, Facility A and Facility C were both still drawn in full (December 31, 2024: total of €60.00 million), while €28.00 million of Facility B had been drawn (December 31, 2024: €0.99 million). The promissory note loans totaling €50.00 million were drawn in full as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: €50.00 million). -150 -120 -90 -60 -30 0 30 60 90
The GFT Group's debt ratio increased to 59% as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: 58%). The ratio of net financial debt to equity (gearing) deteriorated to 32% in the reporting period (December 31, 2024: 16%). Net financial debt comprises disclosed cash and cash equivalents less bank liabilities.
In the first six months of 2025, the net liquidity of the GFT Group – calculated as the stock of disclosed cash and cash equivalents less financing liabilities – decreased from €−42.53 million to €−80.38 million as of June 30, 2025.

Cash flow from operating activities resulted in a net cash outflow of €9.18 million in the first half of 2025 (H1/2024: €5.34 million). The development of operating cash flow was significantly impacted by negative working capital effects – following positive effects at the end of the previous year due to substantial payments from major clients. As a rule, working capital develops positively over the course of the year. Within working capital, there was an increase in tied-up capital in the first half of 2025, particularly in contract assets. By contrast, lower net payments for income taxes of €5.98 million (H1/2024: €11.50 million) had a positive impact on cash flow from operating activities compared with the prior-year period.
Net cash outflow from investing activities of €1.81 million in the first half of 2025 (H1/2024: €81.33 million) related mainly to investments in property, plant and equipment (€1.75 million in H1/2024). The net cash outflow of €79.45 million in the same period last year was mainly attributable to payments made in connection with the Sophos acquisition.
Net cash outflow from financing activities amounted to €9.35 million (H1/2024: €75.76 million). This resulted from the dividend payment to shareholders of €13.04 million (H1/2024: €13.16 million), the repayment of lease liabilities amounting to €6.14 million (H1/2024: €5.76 million), and the acquisition of treasury shares amounting to €5.92 million (H1/2024: €0.00 million). By contrast, the net assumption of bank loans led to a cash inflow of €15.75 million in the first half of 2025 (H1/2024: €94.69 million). The net assumption of bank loans in the previous year was due to the funding of the Sophos acquisition.
Adjusted free cash flow decreased by €4.23 million to €−17.25 million in the first half of 2025 (H1/2024: €−13.02 million). Adjusted free cash flow is calculated by deducting investments in intangible and tangible assets (excluding investments in connection with business combinations) and the repayment of lease liabilities from operating cash flow.
All in all, and including currency effects, these developments led to a decline in liquid funds as of June 30, 2025 of €21.86 million to €58.34 million (December 31, 2024: €80.20 million).

Compared to the end of the previous year, the balance sheet total of the GFT Group decreased by 5% to €617.87 million (December 31, 2024: €652.65 million). The decline is mainly attributable to the dividend payment to shareholders in June 2025. The proportion of non-current assets remained unchanged at 52% of the balance sheet total as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: 52%). The following notes describe the main changes in the balance sheet items. 600 700 700
Non-current assets of the GFT Group decreased by 5% to €322.98 million (December 31, 2024: €339.83 million). Non-current assets mainly comprise goodwill of €220.01 million (December 31, 2024: €230.35 million), other intangible assets of €31.55 million (December 31, 2024: €34.32 million), and property, plant and equipment of €54.21 million (December 31, 2024: €59.51 million). The decline in non-current assets is mainly attributable to currency effects and scheduled depreciation and amortization. No significant investments were made in the first half of 2025. 0 100 200 300 400 500
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by €21.86 million to €58.34 million as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: €80.20 million). The main reason for the decrease was the dividend payment of €13.04 million to the shareholders of GFT Technologies SE in June. Moreover, the acquisition of treasury shares amounting to €5.92 million led to a reduction in cash and cash equivalents.
Other current assets increased to €236.55 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to €232.62 million at the end of the previous year, due to an increase in receivables from client contracts resulting from the slight increase in business volume. Receivables from client contracts comprise trade receivables as well as contract assets and totaled €189.25 million as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: €185.81 million).

Shareholders' equity of the GFT Group decreased by 7% or €20.01 million to €251.17 million in the first half of 2025 (December 31, 2024: €271.18 million); adjusted for currency effects, this represents a decline of 2% or €5.49 million. Net income for the period of €13.46 million (H1/2024: €21.23 million) was opposed by the dividend paid to shareholders of €13.04 million (H1/2024: €13.16 million) and the acquisition of treasury shares
of €5.92 million. Currency translation effects amounted to €−14.51 million (H1/2024: €−3.52 million) and resulted mainly from the devaluation of the Colombian peso, the US dollar, and the British pound.
The equity ratio declined by one percentage point to 41% (December 31, 2024: 42%). The capital structure of the GFT Group continues to reflect its economic solidity.
Non-current liabilities decreased to €116.14 million (December 31, 2024: €121.98 million), mainly due to the decline in other financial liabilities. The decrease in other financial liabilities to €22.76 million (December 31, 2024: €26.50 million) is primarily attributable to lower lease liabilities. Moreover, deferred tax liabilities fell to €12.37 million (December 31, 2024: €13.59 million) due to the scheduled amortization of intangible assets from historical purchase price allocations.
At €250.56 million, current liabilities were below the prior-year level (December 31, 2024: €259.49 million). This decline in current liabilities as of June 30, 2025 is mainly due to the decrease in contract liabilities to €29.32 million (December 31, 2024: €45.01 million) as of the reporting date. Other provisions also decreased to €40.97 million as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: €50.93 million) as a result of lower obligations for performance-based compensation. By contrast, financing liabilities rose to €68.72 million (December 31, 2024: €52.39 million). The increase is primarily attributable to a slight rise in funding needs for working capital.
Further information on the GFT Group's assets, equity and liabilities is provided in the consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the respective condensed notes to the half-year consolidated financial statements.
All in all, the GFT Group can look back on a solid first half of 2025. Despite continuing uncertainties and the resulting customer restraint in certain markets, GFT achieved revenue growth and a stable adjusted EBIT performance.
GFT was able to offset the investment restraint in Europe with dynamic growth in North and Latin America – a result of GFT's successful diversification strategy with a balanced client base across various sectors and regions.
Structural adjustment measures at GFT UK Ltd. in the UK and at the German subsidiary GFT Software Solutions GmbH were significantly more extensive than expected at the beginning of the year and had a correspondingly noticeable impact on pre-tax earnings (EBT).
However, the fundamental digitalization trends in GFT's target markets remain intact and the Group continues to be very well placed to benefit from the current market opportunities – especially in the field of generative artificial intelligence – and successfully meet the high demand for complex digitalization solutions.
The GFT Group's equity ratio decreased slightly to 41% as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: 42%). The capital and balance sheet structure of the GFT Group therefore remains solid.
As of June 30, 2025, the GFT Group 1 employed a total of 11,446 people – an increase of 6% over the previous year (June 30, 2024: 10,772). Compared to year-end 2024, there was a slight decline of 1% (December 31, 2024: 11,506 employees).
There were 7,022 full-time employees in the Americas, UK & APAC business division as of the reporting date. This corresponds to an increase of 14% over the previous year (June 30, 2024: 6,145). Compared to yearend 2024, headcount in this segment also rose by 1% (December 31, 2024: 6,980).
In the Continental Europe business division, the number of full-time employees decreased to 4,315 as of June 30, 2025, corresponding to a 4% decline on the previous year (June 30, 2024: 4,509). Compared to year-end 2024, headcount decreased by 2% (December 31, 2024: 4,406).
As of June 30, 2025, 109 full-time staff were employed in holding functions. This corresponds to a decrease of 8% compared to the previous year (June 30, 2024: 118) and a decrease of 9% compared to year-end 2024 (December 31, 2024: 120).
The productive utilization rate, based on the use of production staff in client projects, amounted to 92% in the reporting period (2024: 90%).

In the first half of 2025, research and development expenses rose to €8.86 million (H1/2024: €4.32 million). The main focus was on investments in core banking partnerships (ISV = Independent Software Vendors), such as Thought Machine and Mambu, as well as software development based on generative AI (Wynxx, formerly AI Impact). At €7.92 million, or 89%, personnel costs accounted for the main share of expenses (H1/2024: €4.00 million, or 93%). Expenses for third-party services amounted to €0.94 million (H1/2024: €0.31 million). This corresponds to 11% (H1/2024: 7%) of total research and development expenses.
There were no events with a significant impact on the financial position and performance of the GFT Group subsequent to June 30, 2025.

Sources: 1 IMF, 2 ECB, 3 Bundesbank
The IMF expects global economic growth to slow and has downgraded its forecast for 2025. Instead of 3.3%, as predicted at the beginning of the year, the IMF now forecasts 2.8% for the year as a whole. The main reasons for the downgrade are growing trade conflicts and the resulting uncertainty. According to the IMF, an escalation of trade tensions could disrupt global supply chains, dampen investment, and reduce productivity. Moreover, high debt levels and limited fiscal leeway in many countries, coupled with market volatility and interest rate hikes, are likely to have a negative impact. The IMF expects global inflation to reach 4.3% in 2025.
According to the ECB, the eurozone economy will grow by 0.9% in the current year. This confirms its March forecast, in which it downgraded its outlook. According to the ECB, the forecast reflects an unexpectedly strong start to the year and a weaker outlook for the remaining months. Uncertainties surrounding trade policy are expected to dampen corporate spending and exports in the short term. In the medium term, government investment in infrastructure and defense,
rising real wages, and more favorable financing conditions are expected to stimulate growth. Overall inflation in the eurozone is expected to reach 2.0% in 2025.
Against the backdrop of uncertain trade policy developments, the recovery of the German economy is being delayed and, according to the Bundesbank, will only be supported by fiscal measures from next year onwards. Exports are likely to decline significantly in 2025, with slower industrial output growth contributing to a cooling of the labor market. The Bundesbank expects GDP to stagnate in 2025 as a whole. The inflation rate is likely to reach 2.2%.

According to market research institute Gartner, currency-adjusted global IT spending will increase by 7.9% in 2025 – which is less than forecast at the beginning of the year. In the field of software, the analysts anticipate growth of 10.5% – 3.7 percentage points below their previous forecast. Revenues from IT services are expected to increase by 4.4% – Gartner had originally predicted 9.0% growth for this category.
Gartner's analysts have also downgraded their forecasts for individual sectors, compared to those outlined in our Annual Report 2024. They now expect financial institutions to increase IT spending by just 3.7% in the current fiscal year. In January, they were still predicting an increase of 6.4%. Gartner expects investment services to grow by 3.6% and banking by 3.8%. The insurance sector is expected to invest 4.4% more in IT (cf. Q4/2024: 7.6%). IT spending in the industrial sector is expected to rise by 3.5% (cf. Q4/2025: 6.5%).
The slowdown in spending growth across all sectors is primarily due to subdued expectations for software and services. According to Gartner, companies are temporarily putting net new investments on hold due to increased economic uncertainty and geopolitical risks. Investments in AI remain a priority. Analysts expect a renewed upturn in the coming year, driven by project postponements from 2025 and economic stimulus programs in various countries.
Economic uncertainty, strategic restraint, and changing priorities will also lead to adjustments in cloud spending in 2025 and dampen new digital initiatives. As a result, the market researchers have lowered their forecasts for global spending on public cloud services and now expect currency-adjusted growth of 17.9% in the current financial year. The strongest
growth rates are expected in the Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) segment at 21.7%. Growth of 15.6% is forecast for the largest segment, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
According to Gartner, revenues in the generative AI (GenAI) market are expected to reach 644 billion US dollars in 2025, representing a 76.4% increase over 2024. Spending is likely to increase significantly in all areas (services: 162.6%, software: 93.9%, devices: 99.5%), albeit more slowly than in the previous year. According to Gartner, generative AI is having a transformative impact on all aspects of IT markets, and AI technologies are becoming an increasingly integral part of business processes and consumer products. Gartner expects significant growth in all core and submarkets in the years up to 2028 and forecasts an increase in the implementation of GenAI applications and managed services in the services sector, with CAGRs of 132.5% and 131.8%, respectively. GenAI business and technology consulting also offers robust growth prospects with CAGRs of over 100%.
The digital association Bitkom forecasts 4.4% revenue growth for the German ICT market in 2025 – largely in line with its forecast from the beginning of the year. The information technology market is expected to grow by 5.7%, driven by an anticipated increase of 9.5% in software revenue. IT services are expected to grow by 3.1%. According to the industry association, cloud computing and AI are becoming increasingly important within the IT sector. More than half of revenues in the German software market are already generated by public clouds. These are expected to rise by 17.0%
in 2025. Cloud-related services account for 37.0% of IT services revenue, with expected growth of 13.0%. According to Bitkom, revenue from AI platforms for the development, training, and operation of AI applications will rise sharply (50%), as it did in the previous year.

Despite ongoing market uncertainties and the resulting restraint displayed by our clients, the GFT Group succeeded in maintaining its upward trajectory in the first six months of the current financial year. At the same time, the persistently low level of market momentum in certain regions continued to lead to order postponements. Moreover, structural adjustments at GFT in the UK and GFT Software Solutions in Germany, as described above, were higher than planned in the first six months and are expected to take longer than initially anticipated.
Against the backdrop of the operating environment described above and the structural adjustments initiated and still ongoing as part of our strategic transformation, GFT has adjusted its guidance for the financial year 2025. Revenue is now expected to reach €885 million (previously €930 million). GFT anticipates adjusted EBIT of €65 million (previously €75 million) and expects EBT of €45 million (previously €60 million).
GFT currently expects to maintain its positive business trend in the second half of 2025. However, due to market conditions and the ongoing structural measures there are only signs of a noticeable upturn in momentum, as expected at the beginning of the fiscal year, in certain markets at present.
With the exception of the adjustments outlined above, the detailed assessment of the expected development of the GFT Group presented in section 4.2 of the combined management report 2024 remains valid.
The risks and opportunities which may have a material impact on the financial position and performance of the GFT Group were presented – together with detailed information on the risk and opportunity management system – in the combined management report 2024 (see section 5 of the Annual Report 2024). There have been no significant changes with regard to the risks and opportunities described since the preparation date of the combined management report 2024.
At the time of preparing this report, there are no recognizable risks that might jeopardize the existence of the GFT Group. No permanent or substantial impairment of the company's financial position and performance is expected. The early warning system for the detection of risks implemented by GFT is being permanently refined.

These condensed half-year consolidated financial statements of GFT Technologies SE and its subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with section 115 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) and International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The half-year consolidated financial statements comply with the IFRS® Accounting Standards (hereinafter 'IFRS Accounting Standards') published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as adopted by the European Union.
GFT Technologies SE is a European public limited company (Societas Europaea, SE) with headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany. The company is registered in the Commercial Register of the District Court of Stuttgart under number HRB 753709 with its registered offices at Schelmenwasenstrasse 34, 70567 Stuttgart. The GFT Technologies SE share is listed in the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and is publicly traded. GFT Technologies SE is the ultimate parent company of the GFT Group, an internationally operating technology partner for digital transformation. The Group develops advanced solutions for data and AI-driven process optimization, modernizes technology infrastructures, and designs next-generation core systems. Its services are aimed
at leading companies in the financial services, insurance, industrial, and robotics sectors.
These condensed half-year consolidated financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the audited and published IFRS consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained therein.
The half-year consolidated financial statements were prepared by the Managing Directors of GFT Technologies SE on August 4, 2025 and released for publication by the Administrative Board. The half-year consolidated financial statements were reviewed by the Group's independent auditors.
The half-year consolidated financial statements of GFT Technologies SE have been prepared in euro (€). Unless noted otherwise, amounts are stated in thousands of euros (€ thousand). Amounts are rounded using standard commercial methods.

In the opinion of the company's management, the half-year consolidated financial statements reflect all accounting entries (in other words, normal recurring entries) necessary for a fair presentation of the Group's financial position and performance. Results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected in future periods or for the full financial year.
In preparing the half-year consolidated financial statements according to IFRS, management must make discretionary decisions, estimates and assumptions to a certain extent. These may affect the amount and presentation of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the reporting date, as well as disclosed income and expenses for the reporting period. Due to the increasingly complex and uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical environment with growing volatility in the commodity and financial markets – including equity and currency prices, caused by fluctuating interest rates and inflation rates – as well as the increasing fears of a slowdown in the economic growth of certain markets, these discretionary decisions, estimates and assumptions are subject to increased uncertainty. Actual amounts may vary from these estimates and assumptions; changes can have
These interim financial statements were prepared using the same accounting and valuation methods as those on which the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 were based and which are described in detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained therein.

Other revenue includes revenue for activities in connection with the Group headquarters in Stuttgart, mainly from the sale of food and beverages and from rental transactions. Other revenue is shown in full in the reconciliation statement.
The cost of services purchased by the GFT Group in the first six months of 2025 amounted to €54,248 thousand (H1/2024: €54,076 thousand) and mainly relates to external services provided by freelancers and subcontractors in connection with the core operating business.
Personnel expenses are composed as follows:
| in € thousand | H1/2025 | H1/2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Wages, salaries and social security contributions |
301,407 | 290,815 |
| Expenses for pensions | 3,398 | 3,432 |
| Other personnel expenses |
22,877 | 19,308 |
| Total | 327,682 | 313,555 |
The income tax expense is recognized based on the estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate for the full financial year, adjusted for effects realized in the reporting period. The effective tax rate in the first six months of 2025 was thus 29.2% (H1/2024: 29.4%).
Earnings per share (basic) and earnings per share (diluted) are calculated on the basis of the earnings attributable to the shareholders of GFT Technologies SE. As there are no dilutive effects, basic earnings per share therefore correspond to diluted earnings per share.
Information on the business segments for the first half of 2025 and the first half of 2024 is presented on page 27 of the condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements.
The reconciliation of consolidated revenue and total segment earnings (EBT) with consolidated earnings before taxes is presented in the table below.
The reconciliation discloses items which per definition are not components of the segments. It also includes non-allocated items of Group HQ, for example from centrally managed issues, or revenue which only occasionally occurs for company activities.

Carrying Amounts and Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The table on page 30 shows the carrying amounts and fair values for the respective classes of financial instruments of the GFT Group and reconciles these to the corresponding balance sheet items.
The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In view of the varying influencing factors, the reported fair values can only be regarded as indicators of the prices that may actually be achieved on the market.
The fair values of financial instruments were determined on the basis of the market information available on the reporting date; the following methods and premises were applied:
Due to the short terms and the generally low credit risk of these financial instruments, it was assumed that their fair values correspond to the carrying amounts.
Other financial assets relate to investments in equity instruments and other financial assets.
Investments in equity instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss. As there were no public quotations for the equity shares, the market value was determined on the basis of parameters for which either directly or indirectly derived quoted prices were available on an active market. The market values were calculated using recognized financial mathematical models.
Other financial assets were measured at amortized cost. Amortized cost is determined on the basis of the present value of future cash inflows, discounted at an interest rate prevailing at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the respective maturities of the financial assets. Due to the predominantly short terms of these financial instruments, it was assumed that their fair values correspond to the carrying amounts.
Financing liabilities refer to liabilities owed to banks. The fair values of loans or other financing liabilities were determined as the present values of expected future cash flows. Market interest rates for the appropriate terms were used for discounting.
Due to their short maturities, it was assumed that the fair values correspond to the carrying amounts of these financial instruments.
Other financial liabilities comprise liabilities from leases, payroll liabilities due to employees and other liabilities.
The fair values of liabilities from leases were determined as the present value of expected cash flows, discounted using an interest rate in line with the corresponding terms.
Payroll liabilities due to employees were measured in line with IAS 19 Employee Benefits and other financial liabilities at amortized cost. Due to the predominantly short maturities of these financial instruments, it was assumed that their fair values correspond to the carrying amounts.
The GFT Group uses various types of financial instruments in the normal course of business. These are classified in accordance with IFRS 9 as follows: at amortized cost (AC) or at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The carrying amounts of financial instruments, broken down into measurement categories, are presented on page 30.
The table on page 30 shows the measurement hierarchies (in accordance with IFRS 13) in which financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified.
Financial instruments measured at fair value in the balance sheet are classified into the following measurement hierarchies which reflect the extent to which fair value is observable:
Level 1: Fair value measurement is based on quoted, unadjusted prices in active markets for these or identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Fair value measurement is based on parameters for which either directly or indirectly derived prices are available on active markets.
Level 3: Fair value measurement is based on parameters for which no observable market data are available. The fair values of Level 2 were determined by the participating financial institutions on the basis of market data on the measurement date and using generally accepted valuation models.
There were no reclassifications between assessment hierarchies as of June 30, 2025.

To the best of our knowledge, and in accordance with the applicable reporting principles for half-yearly financial reporting, the half-year consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position, cash flows and profit or loss of the Group, and the interim group management report includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the Group, together with a description of the principal opportunities and risks associated with the expected development of the Group in the remaining financial year.

We have reviewed the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements, which comprise the statement of financial position, the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of cash flows as well as selected explanatory notes, and the interim group management report of GFT Technologies SE, Stuttgart/Germany, for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2025, that are part of the half-year financial information under Section 115 German Securities Trading Act (WpHG). The preparation of the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements in accordance with the IFRS® Accounting Standards (hereafter referred to as: "IFRS Accounting Standards") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) applicable to interim financial reporting, as adopted by the EU, and of the interim group management report in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports is the responsibility of the executive directors of the Company. Our responsibility is to issue a review report on the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements and on the interim group management report based on our review.
We conducted our review of the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements and of the interim group management report in compliance with the German Generally Accepted Standards for Reviews of
Financial Statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) and in supplementary compliance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". Those standards require that we plan and perform the review to obtain a certain level of assurance to preclude through critical evaluation that the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting, as adopted by the EU, or that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and other persons responsible for financial and accounting matters and to analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed an audit, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of GFT Technologies SE, Stuttgart/Germany, have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting, as adopted by the EU, or that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports.
Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw attention to the fact that quarterly information presented separately in the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements and interim group management report and explanations relating to the quarterly information were not subject to our review.
