Heidelberg, Germany, May 8, 2025 – SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner SE, a world-leading provider of software for digital transformation, automated data migration and data management in the SAP environment, started the year 2025 with dynamic growth. Higher revenue in the partner business and increased software sales once again drove SNP's development. Revenue improved by 23% to €66.5 million and EBIT increased disproportionately by 97% to €7.9 million. The EBIT margin rose accordingly by 4.5 percentage points to 11.9%. Order entry grew by 25% to €75.4 million, due in particular to strong business in North America.

Jens Amail, CEO of SNP, comments: “We have successfully started the new year with our best first quarter ever. After two record years, all key financial indicators are on the highest level in our company history. Thanks to the continued trust of our customers and partners and the focus of our SNP team on their success, we were able to sustain our growth journey. At the same time, our strategic initiatives are clearly paying off – our focus on innovation based on our new Kyano software platform, our entry into new markets such as France, and a wide range of measures to increase profitability. The successful start into the year and the ongoing strong market momentum give us the tailwind for further growth in 2025 and beyond.”

The service business recorded a 20% increase in order entry to €52.2 million and a 17% rise in revenue to €43.7 million. The software business grew disproportionately with a 35% increase in order entry to €23.1 million and a 36% increase in revenue to €22.9 million. The share of software sales thus rose further to 34% (Q1 2024: 31%). 

Andreas Röderer, CFO of SNP, comments: „SNP's current financial basis is better than ever before in the company's history. In particular, the excellent development of the operating cash flow gives us the necessary leeway to further develop the company from a position of strength. The high demand for S/4HANA and RISE with SAP projects and the SNP software solutions will continue to drive our business going forward.“
