  • Slight revenue growth in both business segments to a total of € 423.9 million in Q3 2025 (Q3 2024: € 422.6 million)
  • EBITDA improves significantly compared to Q2 2025 to € 27.1 million (Q3 2024: € 31.0 million)
  • Operating cash flow with usual seasonality at € -12.6 million in Q3 2025 (Q3 2024: € -10.1 million)
  • Executive Board confirms forecast for the current financial year

In a continuing challenging macroeconomic environment in the DACH region, the CANCOM Group slightly increased its consolidated revenue in the third quarter of 2025 to € 423.9 million (Q3 2024: € 422.6 million). Gross profit amounted to € 168.8 million (Q3 2024: € 174.0 million). EBITDA reached € 27.1 million (Q3 2024: € 31.0 million), while EBITA came in at € 13.4 million (Q3 2024: € 17.5 million). In the past quarter, both the “Germany” and “International” business segments contributed equally to revenue growth of the Group.

“Following a significant improvement compared to the previous quarter, we are seeing increasing signs of stabilisation and recovery in the further course of the year. As the fourth quarter usually has a strong influence on the year-end result, we are looking forward to the last quarter of the year with confidence and expect to successfully conclude the 2025 financial year in line with our forecast,” said Rüdiger Rath, CEO of CANCOM SE.

Operating cash flow shows usual seasonality

Cash flow from operating activities reached € -12.7 million in the third quarter of 2025 (Q3 2024: € -10.1 million). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to € 70.1 million at the end of the reporting period (31 December 2024: € 144.7 million).

International business segment once again underscores profitability

The International business segment also performed well in the third quarter of 2025. Revenue remained stable compared with the same quarter of the previous year at € 143.9 million (Q3 2024: € 143.3 million) and EBITDA at € 13.8 million (Q3 2024: € 13.7 million). The EBITDA margin reached 9.6 percent (Q3 2024: 9.6 percent). In contrast, the “Germany” business segment reported stable revenue of € 280.0 million, on a par with the previous year (Q3 2024: € 279.3 million), with EBITDA of € 13.3 million (Q3 2024: € 17.3 million).
