Strengthening its international presence remains a key priority for Profile Software, with the group exploring new acquisitions, as management revealed during yesterday’s general meeting. At the same time, the group’s priorities include the further development of Artificial Intelligence solutions, as well as capitalizing on emerging opportunities in the defense sector.
As stated by Profile’s Chairman and Chief Entrepreneur, Charalambos Stasinopoulos, the group’s growth strategy is based on the balanced enhancement of its entire portfolio of products and solutions.
A constant priority is the continuous expansion of the company’s portfolio to respond to new technological trends and the changing needs of the market. In this context, Artificial Intelligence is now a key growth driver, with the company having already introduced and commercially launched relevant solutions two years ago.
According to Mr. Stasinopoulos, the key priority for 2026 remains further expansion into new markets. Furthermore, strengthening the group’s presence both domestically and internationally in the financial solutions sector, as well as developing new innovative products, form the core pillars of this year’s strategy.
In this context, the company has already introduced solutions such as ProfileOne and the Profile Property Platform. At the same time, it is investing heavily in Agentic AI and will continue to do so in the coming years, as the group’s chairman emphasized.
Opportunities in defense
Mr. Stasinopoulos noted that the company will continue the investments it is already making both in the private sector—with an emphasis on banks, which are its traditional clients—and in new sectors, such as software for defense systems, cybersecurity, and, more broadly, all areas of system security.
“Profile has deep and long-standing experience in risk management systems, as well as in heavy-duty transaction and trading systems, etc. All of this makes us sufficiently capable to participate in and compete for projects with these characteristics. “One of the sectors that meets these criteria is defense, specifically in the software sector,” he noted.
When asked whether Profile is considering entering the process of becoming a NATO or ELKAK supplier, the group’s chairman replied that these prospects are indeed being considered and that the company is already engaged in relevant procedures with both NATO and ELKAK. As he explained, the company has already obtained some of the required certifications and plans to acquire any additional ones that may be required.
What are the next steps on the M&A front?
Regarding Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As), it is worth noting that Profile proceeded in early 2026 with the acquisition of the British company Contemi Solutions and the Greek company Algosystems.
In this context, Mr. Stasinopoulos revealed that the company remains active in the M&A sector, provided that such transactions create value for the company in terms of either products or geographic coverage. As he noted, this strategy has been successfully implemented in recent years, while Profile is seriously exploring opportunities for potential new acquisitions that would facilitate product and geographic expansion.
He clarified that the discussions regarding acquisitions do not pertain to the defense sector; however, he noted that if an opportunity arises that makes sense from a product and geographic perspective, it will be considered.
The group’s chairman explained that Profile currently operates in 50 countries through its client base, but has no presence in German-speaking regions or in Spanish-speaking areas of the Iberian Peninsula. According to him, the company aims primarily to open the door to these two regions of Europe through acquisitions.
Regarding the timeline for implementation, Mr. Stasinopoulos noted that the €100 million investment program announced last year is currently underway. As he noted, approximately €20 million has already been invested in product development and acquisitions, while the remaining €80 million is expected to be invested over the next four years.
A Record Year in 2025
On the other hand, commenting on the financial results for the 2025 fiscal year, Mr. Stasinopoulos spoke of a particularly successful year, marked by growth in revenue and profitability. According to him, the company’s strategy is based on the following pillars: organic growth, securing new projects, investments in research and development, as well as cutting-edge technologies.
The group’s chairman noted that these initiatives have contributed to enhancing the company’s international recognition and increasing the market value of its shares, which has risen by approximately 40%–45% on an annual basis.
For his part, Profile CEO Evangelos Angelidis also spoke of yet another record year, noting that the group continues to generate positive cash flows.
It should be noted that on a consolidated basis, in 2025 the Profile Group’s revenue increased by 18.5% and reached €47.5 million, compared to €40.1 million in the corresponding period of 2024.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation (EBITDA)increased by 26.9% to €13.1 million, compared to €10.3 million in 2024, with the EBITDA margin improving to 27.6% from 25.8% the previous year.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes , Depreciation, and Amortization ( EBITDA ) increased by 26.9% to €13.1 million from €10.3 million in 2024, with the EBITDA margin improving to 27.6% from 25.8% the previous year.
Outlook for 2026
Regarding this year’s outlook, Mr. Angelidis stated that the group views 2026 with great optimism. “We are starting the year with a backlog of €140 million, while the first half is progressing at a very strong pace. There is a possibility we will close 60% above last year’s first half, ” he noted, adding that this growth stems from a combination of organic growth and acquisitions, while he commented that profitability is also expected to increase.
He also revealed that the full fiscal year 2026 is expected to record strong double-digit growth, noting that this could even reach close to 40%.
Finally, in response to a question about the progress of projects funded by the Recovery Fund, the group’s management stated that there are no delays and that they are proceeding very well.
