PSI Software SE has announced a further postponement of its audited 2025 annual and consolidated financial statements, now expected in June 2026, as the company awaits the final regulatory clearance for a tender offer by private equity firm Warburg Pincus. The delay stems from the requirement to obtain approval under investment control regulations from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, a procedural step that must be completed before the statutory audit can be finalized.
According to the company, the financial results for the 2025 fiscal year are in line with expectations and have already been reviewed by the auditor. PSI emphasized that the delay is purely formal and does not reflect any concerns about its financial health. Once the investment control approval is received, which PSI expects shortly, the company will publish the audited statements without delay and convene its Annual General Meeting.
The announcement marks the second postponement of the financial report, which was originally scheduled for May 2026. The extended timeline highlights the growing impact of regulatory scrutiny on cross-border transactions, particularly in sectors deemed critical to national infrastructure. PSI develops software for optimizing energy and material flows for utilities and industry, placing it under the purview of Germany's investment control framework.
Warburg Pincus's tender offer to PSI shareholders has been pending regulatory approval, a condition that must be fulfilled before the audit can be completed. The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy is tasked with reviewing foreign investments that could affect public order or security, a process that has become more stringent in recent years.
PSI Software SE, headquartered in Berlin, has been a technology leader since 1969, providing process control systems that combine AI methods with industrially proven optimization techniques. With over 2,300 employees, the company serves utilities and industrial clients, offering on-premises and cloud-based solutions. Its products are critical for ensuring sustainable energy supply, production, and logistics.
The delay in publishing the annual report does not alter the company's operational outlook, but it does create uncertainty for investors awaiting clarity on the ownership structure post-transaction. The successful completion of the Warburg Pincus deal could provide PSI with additional resources to expand its software offerings, particularly in the energy transition and industrial optimization markets.
PSI will announce the exact publication date as soon as it has been determined. For more information about the company and its software solutions, visit www.psi.de or view the original release on www.newmediawire.com.
