CEO review
2025 and especially the fourth quarter were marked by significant effort and progress in building partnerships globally. The financial investment and strategic partnership agreements with Leonardo S.p.A. were successfully closed in the fourth quarter.
Total ARR including maintenance sales grew by 2.4% to EUR 21.1 million. Subscription ARR grew by 12.5% to EUR 13.8 million.
In the fourth quarter, subscription sales grew by 12.2%, totaling EUR 3.4 million, whilst total revenue decreased by 21.1% year-on-year, totaling EUR 5.4 million (EUR 6.8 million). The decrease was mainly due to significant license sales in Q4 2024 that did not repeat in Q4 2025. EBITDA for Q4 remained positive, however, decreasing to EUR 0.1 million (EUR 1.7 million).
Full year revenue decreased by 2.4% year-on-year. Reported sales growth was affected negatively by a weaker U.S. dollar. With constant exchange rates the full year revenue would have decreased by 0.8%. Full year EBITDA was EUR 1.5 million (EUR 3.4 million)
We put a lot of investment and activity into building strategic partnership with Leonardo. SSH solutions were integrated into Leonardo's "Made In Europe Zero Trust Offering" Suite. This resulted in a number of new opportunities in sectors like transportation, critical infrastructure and public sector. We also started activities to broaden our presence in the Defence market together with Leonardo.
We signed and activated multiple new partnerships in regional markets in APAC, AMER and EMEA. We aim to accelerate our growth through partners, widening the addressable market.
To increase awareness for our solutions and drive growth we have addressed the market analysts' recognition of our products. Many customers rely on leading industry analyst insights on vendors. In the fourth quarter SSH was named an "Honorable Mention" in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant for PAM Solutions, as one of only two European PAM vendors included in the report. In addition, Industrial Cyber recognized PrivX and NQX for their strong capabilities in Industrial Secure Remote Access (ISRA) and secure site-to-site connectivity. PrivX was also recognized by KuppingerCole as a leader in Secure Remote Access (SRA) solutions for OT and Industrial Control Systems (ICS).
In our solutions portfolio PrivX is the main growth product, in the expanding Privileged Access Management (PAM) market. The solid progress of PrivX can also be seen in its subscription sales, which grew 19.1% year-on-year. In the fourth quarter, we succeeded in expanding usage among several existing customers as well as winning new customers.
