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 scheduled for April 2026 will vote on a proposed dividend of €0.85 per share, up from €0.50 the previous year.
The company's earnings improved markedly in fiscal 2024/2025, with revenue increasing by 9.3% to €9.2 million from €8.4 million. This growth was almost entirely attributable to higher variable revenues based on trading volume. Simultaneously, costs were significantly reduced as other operating expenses decreased by 26.2% to €2.2 million, primarily due to the completion of the TBMX WebTrader development under the "BOOSTER" investment programme. Since July 2025, the browser-based TBMX platform "WebTrader" has been used by comdirect - a brand of Commerzbank AG - under the name "ProTrader Plus" for its trading-oriented customers.
Revenue growth combined with sharply lower expenses led to a 68.1% increase in net profit to €2.1 million from €1.3 million. In accordance with the company's Articles of Association, €400,000 of the net profit was allocated to other revenue reserves. After adding the profit carried forward from the previous year, retained earnings amount to €1.7 million, with €1.7 million (€0.85 per share) to be distributed to shareholders.
The company maintained a very solid financial position with total assets increasing to €5.6 million from €4.4 million the previous year. The significant profit increase raised the company's equity to €4.6 million as of September 30, 2025, resulting in an equity ratio above 80%.
Looking ahead, fiscal year 2025/2026 will be a transformation year for tick-TS, with the Management Board expecting net profit to decline to between €600,000 and €900,000. This decrease results from the loss of the top customer and two mid-sized customers, with volume-based remuneration being a key factor in revenue generation for two of these clients. 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.
Despite the anticipated short-term profit decline, tick Trading Software AG continues to see itself as well positioned to consolidate and expand its market position over the long term. The company has already successfully acquired new customers, and discussions with other potential new customers are progressing promisingly, with these expected to make a noticeable contribution to revenue and earnings from fiscal year 2026/2027 onwards.
Additionally, the company is expanding its service portfolio to include a consulting offering specifically geared toward 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. The original release is available on NewMediaWire.
