SoftwareOne, listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange, reported a 68.2% year-over-year revenue increase to CHF818 million for the first half of 2026, driven largely by the acquisition of Crayon. On a currency-adjusted, organic basis excluding Crayon, revenue grew 11.6%. Adjusted net profit rose to CHF70.6 million from CHF29.6 million in the same period of 2025, while the adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 5.4 percentage points to 28.9%.
Operating expenses totaled CHF632.9 million, a 0.6% decline from the prior-year period. The company also outlined a revised leadership structure, effective August 1, with Raphael Erb serving as sole CEO. Regional adjustments will take effect September 1, with Regina Manfredi promoted to President Americas, Rico Andreoli to President EMEA, and Varun Paliwal remaining President APAC. Guðmundur Aðalsteinsson has been appointed Chief Channel & Ecosystems Officer, all reporting to the executive management team. Oliver Berchtold, former COO, has departed the company, according to the announcement.
The restructuring aims to enhance regional representation at the executive level, aligning decision-making closer to customers, partners, and markets. CEO Erb stated, "We have made significant progress in revenue growth, profitability, and cash conversion. Customer and partner response to our combined offering has been positive, reflecting strong market momentum. Integration is now largely complete, organizational structures are established, and we are accelerating execution."
For the full year, SoftwareOne expects mid- to high-single-digit revenue growth at constant currency on a combined basis, an adjusted EBITDA margin exceeding 23%, and a dividend payout ratio of 30% to 50% of adjusted annual net income. The company employs approximately 12,000 staff across more than 70 countries, with headquarters in Stans, Switzerland.
