Stuttgart, August 6, 2026 – GFT Technologies SE (GFT) delivered profitable growth in the first half of 2026, increasing both revenue and profitability while continuing to execute its AI-centric strategy successfully. As a result, Group revenue increased by 5 per cent to EUR 462.6 million in the first half of 2026, with currency-adjusted growth also amounting to 5 per cent. Adjusted EBIT improved by 8 per cent to EUR 32.6 million. Earnings before taxes (EBT) increased significantly by 26 per cent to EUR 24.0 million, resulting in a notable improvement in the EBT margin. The performance in the first six months 2026 is fully in line with full-year guidance and underscores the operational strength of GFT’s AI-centric business model.
“Once again, our financial performance confirms that our AI-centric strategy is delivering results – operationally, commercially and geographically. Adoption of our Wynxx Agentic AI platform continues to accelerate, and our clients are achieving measurable AI outcomes in their most critical transformation programs,” said Marco Santos, Global CEO of GFT Technologies. “GFT is not only a global digital transformation partner for banks, insurance and manufacturing companies. We are increasingly helping industries reimagine their technology and business operations through AI.”
Wynxx Agentic AI platform continues to expand and scale up
GFT’s proprietary Wynxx Agentic AI Platform continued to gain momentum in the second quarter of 2026, becoming a measurable revenue driver of GFT’s AI-centric growth strategy. Now deployed by 113 enterprise clients in twelve countries, the total influenced contract value since inception increased by 38 per cent compared with the first quarter to more than EUR 144 million, while the actual influenced revenue reached EUR 24.4 million in the first half of 2026.
The Wynxx Platform was also extended into new business areas with the launch of the Wynxx Business Process Assets and Offering, encompassing more than six client references and a key large-scale project of an Agentic AI Credit Risk platform for Tier-1 bank in Europe.
This momentum is reflected in a growing number of strategically significant AI client initiatives, modernisation projects and industry transformation programs that further strengthen GFT´s market position. GFT also won six key next-generation core banking programs across Canada, Germany, Poland, and Thailand in collaboration with its partners Thought Machine and Engine by Starling.
GFT also achieved strong commercial traction with its AI Modernisation offering, winning more than 20 projects across nine countries covering advisory, mainframe and application modernisation initiatives. In addition, GFT secured the strategic project to develop the financial intelligence system of the Brazilian Council for Financial Activities Control (“COAF”), the anti-financial crime authority linked to the Central Bank of Brazil. The project combines the Wynxx Platform with GFT’s Smaragd AML capabilities to help modernise anti-money laundering infrastructure.
Growth across all sectors and strong momentum in Latin America
GFT continued to capitalise on strong demand for AI-native modernisation and cloud transformation in the first half of 2026. Growth extended across all business sectors, underscoring the relevance of GFT’s AI-centric strategy and business model. The Industry & Others sector recorded strong revenue growth of 14 per cent. Business with insurance customers also grew by a robust 7 per cent, while Banking posted solid growth of 3 per cent.
At regional level, Latin America continued to prove a significant growth driver. The Americas & APAC segment increased revenue by 14 per cent to EUR 240.4 million, driven by strong growth in Brazil (+38 per cent) and Colombia (+27 per cent). Revenue in the United States remained stable in euro terms but grew by 7 per cent in constant currencies, confirming positive demand in one of GFT’s key strategic markets.
In the Europe segment, revenue declined moderately by 3 per cent to EUR 221.7 million. This reflects the continued cautious investment environment in certain markets. With strong growth rates of 22 per cent and 13 per cent, Switzerland and Spain were the fastest-growing European markets, offsetting the 12 per cent decline in Germany. Although the United Kingdom recorded an anticipated 5 per cent decline in revenue, the transformation initiated in 2025 has been delivering the expected results, resulting in a strong profitability improvement in first half of 2026.
Further improvement in profitability
Adjusted EBIT increased by 8 per cent to EUR 32.6 million, improving the adjusted EBIT margin from 6.8 to 7.1 per cent. The improvement in profitability was driven by greater personnel efficiency, lower office rental costs due to optimised office space, and reduced negative foreign exchange effects. Earnings before taxes (EBT) increased significantly by 26 per cent to EUR 24.0 million, with the EBT margin rising considerably from 4.3 to 5.2 per cent. The higher EBT margin reflects not only operational progress but also significantly lower capacity adjustments of EUR 3.5 million.
“The results for the first half of 2026 confirm that our business model is well positioned to withstand a challenging market environment and that we are benefiting from developments in the field of AI. The strong increase in our order backlog provides an excellent starting point for the second half of the year,” said Jochen Ruetz, CFO and Deputy CEO of GFT Technologies. “Our priorities remain unchanged: increasing efficiency, expanding scalability, further strengthening operational excellence, while transforming the company into an AI-native organisation. The foundation for this has already been laid.”
2026 guidance confirmed: continued demand for AI supports further growth
Compared with the previous year, the order backlog increased significantly by 18 per cent as of June 30, 2026. The strong order backlog reinforces GFT’s growth prospects. GFT confirms its guidance for fiscal year 2026. The company expects currency-adjusted revenue growth of 5 per cent to around EUR 930 million and an increase in adjusted EBIT to EUR 71 million, corresponding to an adjusted EBIT margin of 7.6 per cent. Earnings before taxes (EBT) are expected to improve significantly by 21 per cent to approximately EUR 56 million, corresponding to an EBT margin of 6 per cent.
Growth is expected to continue to be driven by strong demand for AI-native modernisation, next-generation core banking implementations, cloud transformation and data-driven business models. To consistently leverage these growth opportunities, GFT will further deepen its core technological competencies, systematically expand its offering of proprietary platform solutions and continue to increase its operational performance to achieve sustainable economies of scale. In addition, GFT will continue to invest selectively in marketing and sales in selected strategic growth markets to consolidate its growth momentum over the medium and long term.
