In Q4 2025, SoftwareOne achieved year-on-year revenue growth of 64.7% on an IFRS reported basis, reflecting the Crayon acquisition closed on 2 July 2025. On a combined like-for-like basis¹, Q4 2025 revenue grew 11.0% in constant currency. The quarter was driven by strong performance in rEMEA, DACH and APAC, while performance in NORAM and LATAM remained muted.

On the back of this robust quarter, IFRS reported Group revenue was CHF 1,243million for FY 2025, an increase of 22.5% compared to 2024. On a combined like-for-like basis, FY 2025 revenue grew 1.4% in constant currency to CHF 1,518 million – ahead of the previously communicated flat growth guidance.
