Berlin, November 5, 2026 – IVU Traffic Technologies AG continues on its path of profitable growth. In the first nine months of 2026, group revenue rose by 9.6% to €111.5 million (9M 2025: €101.7 million). Operating profit (EBIT) rose disproportionately by 56.5% to €10.2 million (9M 2025: €6.5 million). This quarterly report confirms the preliminary results that the company published in the ad hoc announcement on October 28, 2026.
Martin Müller-Elschner, CEO of IVU Traffic Technologies AG, explains: “A key driver of the positive business performance is the rising share of recurring revenue from hosting and maintenance contracts. This makes business planning more predictable and is increasingly contributing to a more even distribution of revenue throughout the year.”
The corresponding share of consolidated revenue reached 51.8% in the first nine months of 2026 (9M 2025: 50.1%). Gross profit rose by 10.5% to €91.9 million (9M 2025: €83.1 million).
The consistent efforts to improve efficiency contributed significantly to the strong earnings growth. While revenue rose by 9.6% in the first nine months, EBIT increased by 56.5%. The ratio of EBIT to gross profit improved from 7.9% to 11.1%. The company’s financial position also remains strong: IVU has a solid capital structure with an equity ratio of 48.5% as of September 30, 2026. Operating cash flow reached €21.3 million in the first nine months (9M 2025: €17.0 million).
Petra Meiser, Chief Financial Officer of IVU Traffic Technologies AG, explains: “The performance over the first nine months shows that our focus on profitable growth and efficiency improvements is paying off. We are increasing our operating profit at a significantly faster rate than revenue. At the same time, we have a solid equity base that gives us strategic flexibility for our further development.”
For the current fiscal year 2026, the Executive Board reiterates its guidance for group revenue of more than €160 million (actual 2025: €149.7 million), for gross profit of around €130 million (actual 2025: €121.5 million) and for operating profit (EBIT) of around €22 million (actual 2025: €18.6 million).
