Munich, Germany, 12 August 2025 – In a market environment that remains challenging, the CANCOM Group achieved consolidated revenue of € 803.8 million (H1 2024: € 835.3 million) in the first half of the 2025 financial year. With gross profit of € 336.0 million (H1 2024: € 339.2 million) and EBITDA of € 36.7 million (H1 2024: € 55.5 million), EBITA reached € 10.2 million (H1 2024: € 28.7 million). One-off effects, particularly in the second quarter, amounting to around € 4.0 million for restructuring measures weighted on earnings. Despite the positive development in the "International" business segment, the decline in the "Germany" segment could not be fully offset.

"The first half of the year was characterised by caution in the market. This had a particular impact on our earnings in the second quarter. Against this backdrop, we have initiated restructuring measures, which we will continue in the second half of the year in order to strengthen our earnings power and reduce our cost base on a sustainable basis. Despite the current challenges, we are entering the second half of the year with confidence and see signs of recovery in the course of the year," said Rüdiger Rath, CEO of CANCOM SE.

Operating cash flow remains positive

Cash flow from operating activities reached +€ 0.9 million in the first half of 2025 (H1 2024: +€ 68.8  million). Reduced cash outflows for investments and financing activities resulted in a solid cash position of € 85.1 million at the end of the first half of the reporting year (31 December 2024: € 144.7 million).

International business segment strong

In an environment marked by uncertainty, the “International” business segment continued to perform strongly. Revenue in the first half of 2025 reached € 304.2 million (H1 2024: € 277.0 million). EBITDA increased further to € 23.0 million (H1 2024: € 21.4 million). This contrasts with a subdued development in the "Germany" business segment. Revenue amounted to € 499.6 million (H1 2024: € 558.4 million), while EBITDA reached € 13.7 million (H1 2024: € 34.1 million).

Forecast for 2025

Customers in both the private and public sectors are currently still holding back on investment. In the traditionally strong second half of the year, the Executive Board reserves the right to implement further restructuring measures and confirms its forecast for the 2025 financial year, as adjusted on 31 July 2025:
