The Supervisory Board of tick Trading Software AG has approved the audited annual financial statements for fiscal year 2024/2025 and resolved on the appropriation of retained earnings. Due to a significantly higher net profit, the Annual General Meeting to be held in April 2026 will vote on a proposed dividend of EUR 0.85 per share, up from EUR 0.50 the previous year. The earnings position of tick Trading Software AG improved markedly in fiscal year 2024/2025. The provider of specialized software for securities trading and settlement increased revenue by 9.3%, from TEUR 8,374 to TEUR 9,152. This increase is almost entirely attributable to higher variable revenues based on trading volume.
At the same time, costs were significantly reduced, with other operating expenses decreasing by 26.2% to TEUR 2,220. The reduction is attributable to the completion of the development of the TBMX WebTrader as part of the "BOOSTER" investment programme. Revenue growth combined with sharply lower expenses led to an increase in net profit from TEUR 1,256 by 68.1% to TEUR 2,111. After adding the profit carried forward from the previous year, retained earnings amount to TEUR 1,731. Of these retained earnings, TEUR 1,711, or EUR 0.85 per share, are to be distributed to shareholders. The company also maintained a very solid financial position, with equity increasing to TEUR 4,595 and an equity ratio above 80%.
As already communicated when the preliminary figures were published, fiscal year 2025/2026 will be a transformation year for tick-TS. The Management Board expects net profit of TEUR 600 to TEUR 900. The decline compared with the previous year results from the loss of the top customer and two mid-sized customers. For two of these customers, volume-based remuneration was a key factor in the level of revenue generated. Overall, tick Trading Software AG continues to see itself as well positioned to consolidate and expand its market position over the long term.
New customers have already been successfully acquired, and discussions with other potential new customers are progressing promisingly. These are expected to make a noticeable contribution to revenue and earnings from fiscal year 2026/2027 onwards. In addition, the Company is expanding its service portfolio to include a consulting offering specifically geared towards the financial sector. The aim is to support customers holistically – from the technology platform through to technical and process consulting. The planning phase has been completed and the official launch took place as scheduled in the first quarter of 2026 with the first engagement. Further details on business development can be found in the full annual report, which will be published on the tick-TS AG website in mid-March.
