74Software: Q3 Momentum Drives Upgraded Growth Outlook

• Q3 revenue reached €172.8 million, up 6.3% organically, reflecting continued momentum in market demand and sales execution
• Axway up 8.8% and SBS up 4.7%, both contributing to a balanced and dynamic quarter
• Full-year growth guidance raised on the back of continued commercial traction
• ARR reached €262.8 million at Axway (+12.2%) and €233.8 million at SBS (+10.1%), confirming double-digit expansion across both brands

74Software (Euronext: 74SW.PA) delivered a strong third quarter, confirming its ability to sustain solid revenue growth and commercial traction despite persistent economic and geopolitical uncertainties. The Group's balanced exposure across technologies and geographies highlights the strength of its hybrid-cloud, subscription-led model - combining scale, adaptability, and predictability. As an independent technology provider, 74Software continues to focus on sustainable value creation for customers, employees, and shareholders, supported by disciplined capital allocation and consistent execution across its two brands.

Integration between Axway and SBS further advanced during the quarter. Shared support functions now operate under the Group's platform services model across HR, IT, Finance, and Legal, while joint commercial and product initiatives expanded in business lines such as Open Banking, API Management, and Digital Engagement. These developments are already generating tangible synergies and reinforcing 74Software's market reach, demonstrating the effectiveness of its brand-led, group-powered model and the strategic complementarity of two category-leading businesses active in carefully selected niche markets.

Axway exceeded expectations, driven by sustained momentum in subscription and cloud-based activities and the growing adoption of hybrid multi-cloud integration architectures. Its performance reflects the consistent execution of a strategy aimed at reinforcing leadership in Integration and API management, while embedding automation, AI-driven insights, and advanced observability across its portfolio. Growth was supported by solid renewal activity, new cloud subscriptions, and continued traction in solutions modernizing enterprise integration across regulated industries. Recent customer deployments further highlighted the versatility and scalability of the Amplify Fusion platform, enabling major digital transformation programs from public health to global manufacturing.

SBS delivered performance fully in line with plan, confirming progress across its 4 product families and continued expansion of its recurring base. The brand also recorded a significant improvement in its Net Promoter Score, reaching its highest level to date - reflecting stronger customer engagement and rising satisfaction. The quarter saw sustained activity in financing and lending solutions, steady adoption of instant payments and regulatory reporting modules, and growing momentum in digital engagement. SBS also advanced its cloud-native regulatory reporting offer through a new partnership in Europe, while maintaining robust performance in Africa with several new implementations and extensions within its installed base.

With a solid year-to-date trajectory and strong fundamentals, 74Software enters the final quarter from a position of strength, demonstrating disciplined execution, sound balance-sheet management, and a clear focus on sustainable, product-led growth across its portfolio.

Patrick Donovan, Chief Executive Officer, stated:

"This quarter once again highlights the quality and resilience of our business. Our products continue to gain recognition for their reliability and innovation, and our shift toward subscription and cloud delivery strengthens visibility and predictability across the Group. Axway is demonstrating the benefits of long-term investment in innovation and customer trust, while SBS continues to advance its transformation with focus and discipline, confirming its strong position in key financial markets. Together, our two brands embody what 74Software stands for - independent technology, steady execution, and sustainable growth built on lasting customer relationships. As we enter the final months of the year, the Group is well positioned to deliver on its commitments and to prepare for the next phase of profitable expansion."

In Q3 2025, Product revenue reached €140.1m, up 9.4% organically, confirming the Group's strong commercial momentum. Recurring activities rose 9.1% to €129.2m, with Customer-managed subscriptions up 23.3% and Own-managed subscriptions up 16.9%, reflecting a continued shift towards subscriptions. Upfront revenue recognition from Customer-managed subscriptions signatures amounted to €29.6m for the quarter. As expected, Maintenance & Support declined 8.1% to €43.7m, as the customer base keeps shifting toward subscription models. License revenue increased 12.7% to €10.9m, remaining moderate at roughly 6% of total revenue. Product revenue represented 81% of the Group total, compared with 79% a year earlier, reflecting the Group's continued transition toward a software-centric, subscription-driven revenue model.

Axway posted quarterly revenue of €82.6m, up 8.8% organically, supported by resilient demand for integration, API management, and cloud-based subscriptions. Product revenue rose 10.3%, while recurring activities advanced 13.3%, driven by a 32.1% increase in Customer-managed subscriptions and a 12.7% rise in Own-managed subscriptions. Maintenance fell 26.7% as migrations to recurring models accelerated, and License revenue contracted to €2.5m. Services, at €8.7m (-2.3%), remained stable, consistent with Axway's lighter implementation profile.

SBS delivered revenue of €90.8m, representing 4.7% organic growth, fully in line with plan. Product revenue climbed 9.3%, driven by a 23.1% increase in Own-managed subscriptions and a 47.7% rise in License sales, partially offset by a 21.8% decrease in Customer-managed subscriptions after a stronger comparison base in 2024. Maintenance grew modestly by 1.5%, confirming the resilience of the installed base. Services revenue declined 6.2% to €24.0m, as the company continues to pivot away from large implementation projects toward standardized, modular software delivery.

At Group level, Services totaled €32.7m, down 5.2% organically, mainly due to the normalization of project activity at SBS, while Axway's contribution remained steady. Services accounted for 19% of total Group revenue, compared with 21% a year earlier, illustrating the progressive shift toward higher-margin, product-based revenue streams and recurring activities.

At the end of September 2025, Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) for Axway reached €262.8m (+12.2%) and SBS €233.8m (+10.1%), confirming strong expansion in both portfolios. ARR is now approaching three-quarters of total Group annual revenue, underpinning a highly predictable revenue model and reinforcing the Group's strategic emphasis on durable, compounding growth.

Comments on Q3 2025 product line performance

Axway continues to benefit from resilient enterprise demand for integration, API Management, and secure data movement solutions, as well as expanding adoption of cloud and hybrid deployments. Over the quarter, the shift in product mix was largely attributable to the timing of Customer-managed subscription renewals and upsells and their resulting upfront recognition of revenue.

• Managed File Transfer reaffirmed its strategic importance, combining high renewal rates with sustained traction in managed and cloud-based offerings. The line continues to evolve toward greater automation, observability, and scalability, positioning Axway as a key enabler of secure data exchange in complex enterprise environments. Share of total revenue declined this quarter, against a particularly strong comparable period in 2024.
• B2B Integration maintained strong momentum, supported by customer demand for interoperability, automation, and AI-assisted process orchestration. Adoption remained broad-based across industries as organizations modernize partner ecosystems and migrate toward API-connected architectures.
• API Management delivered another strong quarter, reinforcing Axway's leadership in this segment. The recognition as a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant for API Management¹, published in early October, came as a timely acknowledgment of the brand's long-standing expertise and consistent innovation. The Amplify platform stood out for its distributed API Management use case, policy management, and advanced API security capabilities, supporting major digital transformation programs. The quarter also featured successful new deployments within leading European public institutions and a global automotive manufacturer, demonstrating how Amplify Fusion enables modernization, collaboration, and operational excellence.
• Specialized Products, particularly in financial and compliance domains, maintained stable activity, driven by recurring renewals and ongoing adoption of modular solutions addressing modernization and operational visibility needs.

SBS delivered performance fully in line with expectations, confirming progress across its four product families and continued expansion of its recurring base. Its modular and composable product strategy continues to enable agility for banks in highly regulated markets, aligning with growing demand for cloud-native and AI-ready financial platforms.

• Financing Products maintained solid momentum, supported by sustained demand in lending and auto-finance solutions and high visibility through multi-year renewals. The product line also saw growing adoption of digital audit and compliance modules, further expanding its value proposition.
• Modular Products recorded a steady level of activity, marked by continued adoption of instant payments, digital engagement, and regulatory-reporting solutions. The quarter saw further progress in developing cloud-native regulatory-reporting capabilities through new partnerships in Europe, alongside the signature of a major European bank for the Digital Banking Suite - illustrating SBS's growing traction in composable digital-banking platforms. SBS's leadership in regulatory reporting solutions was once again recognized by Chartis Research, which named the company a Leader in the 2025 RiskTech Quadrant for Regulatory Reporting Solutions for the third consecutive year.
• Integrated Products maintained stable activity, with modernization initiatives gaining pace through incremental functional extensions and composable deployments. The line continued to perform well in Africa, with the signature of three new customers during the quarter and further expansion within the installed base as part of large-scale core-banking transformation programs.
• Banking Components delivered another strong quarter, supported by ongoing expansion in payments, cards, and lending modules. Deep customer relationships and an extensive component library remain key assets supporting SBS's recurring revenue base and long-term resilience.

Financial position on September 30, 2025

As of September 30, 2025, 74Software reported cash and cash equivalents of €47.6m and bank debt of €243.7m (before IFRS 16), resulting in net debt of €196.1m. Following the strong deleveraging achieved in the first half, the Group maintained a solid balance sheet profile in Q3 - traditionally the weakest quarter in terms of cash flows - through disciplined working capital management. This continued deleveraging, combined with an improving
cash-flow profile, positions 74Software well for potential M&A activity from 2026.

Targets & Ambitions

Following the strong performance over the first nine months of the year, 74Software increases its full-year 2025 growth guidance, supported by disciplined execution, a healthy pipeline, and continued traction in software renewals and cross-sell initiatives.

The Group now expects full-year organic revenue growth to reach around 4%, at the upper end of its initial guidance range. Margin on operating activities guidance remains unchanged between 14% and 16% of revenue. Unlevered free cash flow is expected to represent at least 10% of revenue, with the leverage ratio remaining below 2.0x through year-end.

Looking ahead, 74Software reiterates its ambition to surpass €750m in revenue by 2027 with a margin on operating activities above 17%, and to reach around 20% by 2028 - in line with its trajectory toward a scalable, profitable, and product-led software model.
