Amadeus Reports Q1 2026 Growth With Ongoing Buyback and IDEMIA Acquisition Plans Amadeus reported Q1 2026 revenue growth of 3.1%, or 7.9% at constant currency, with adjusted EBIT up 6.6% at constant currency.
The company continues to execute on its €500m share repurchase program.
Amadeus is investing in the planned acquisition of IDEMIA Public Security, a biometrics and identity services provider.
For you as an investor, the Q1 2026 update points to steady top-line and profitability progress, particularly once currency effects are stripped out. The 7.9% constant currency revenue growth and 6.6% constant currency adjusted EBIT growth indicate that underlying business activity in Amadeus’s core travel technology operations is holding up, even though reported growth is lower after FX impact.
The ongoing €500m share buyback signals that management is allocating capital to reduce share count while also pursuing inorganic growth through the planned IDEMIA Public Security acquisition. That deal would extend Amadeus’s reach into biometrics and identity services, which ties into areas like airport security, passenger identity verification and travel document management. For your watchlist, the key things to track will likely be the pace of the buyback, any updates on regulatory approvals and closing of the IDEMIA transaction, and how integration spending may affect margins over the coming quarters. お知らせ • Apr 30

New minor risk - Financial position The company has a high level of debt. Net debt to equity ratio: 43% This is considered a minor risk. Having a high level of debt increases the company's balance sheet risk. The company has a higher interest repayment burden, leading to the need to allocate a greater amount of its earnings towards servicing the debt, potentially limiting growth options or shareholder distributions. It can also increase the risk of bankruptcy if business conditions deteriorate enough that the company can no longer meet its debt obligations. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.
