tick Trading Software AG: Net income up 123% in the first half of 2024/25 – full-year forecast confirmed

Düsseldorf, June 25, 2025 - Business performance at tick Trading Software AG (ISIN: DE000A35JS99) was clearly positive in the first half of the 2024/25 fiscal year. The provider of software for securities trading and settlement benefited in particular from the volatile capital market environment at the end of the reporting period (October 1, 2024 – March 31, 2025). Trading activity increased sharply for most customers, and with it the load-dependent revenues of tick-TS AG. Due to the strong increase in earnings for the period, the forecast for the full year 2024/25 was raised at the end of the reporting period and confirmed with the publication of the half-year report.

tick-TS AG increased its revenue in the first half of the 2024/25 financial year by 17.6% to EUR 4,696 thousand. The growth driver was the “Load-dependent revenue” segment, where revenue rose from EUR 1,336 thousand to EUR 2,173 thousand. Costs remained stable overall. Earnings development was correspondingly positive in the reporting period. tick-TS AG increased its net income for the period, the company's financial performance indicator, by 122.5% from EUR 526 thousand to EUR 1,170 thousand between October 2024 and March 2025.

The annual forecast raised on March 18, 2025, is confirmed: The Management Board expects an annual net income of between EUR 1,300 thousand and EUR 1,700 thousand for the full year 2024/25, representing an improvement in earnings compared to the 2023/24 fiscal year. This means that the dividend (most recently EUR 0.50 per share) is also likely to be increased again.

In the second half of the fiscal year, the company is not expected to be able to fully match the strong performance seen in the reporting period. The reason: In April 2025, a top customer informed tick-TS AG that the order flow would be gradually reduced, but to a large extent, starting in May 2025. As a result, a reduction in monthly sales of 15 to 20% is expected. The company is currently still in talks with the customer about further cooperation. Once these talks have been concluded, the forecast for the current year will be finalized and a forecast for 2025/26 will be published. At the same time, the company sees opportunities for new business with existing and potential new customers to partially offset the expected decline in sales.
