49.3% earnings growth sets the tone

• Over the last 12 months, SYS-DAT generated €6.9 million of net income, with trailing earnings growth of 49.3% and a 5 year annualized rate of 19.9%.
• What stands out for a bullish view is how these growth rates sit alongside a 9% trailing net margin and a full year revenue base of €89.6 million, which means:
  • The 49.3% earnings jump is coming off a revenue level that has been tracking upward over recent TTM periods, from €57.2 million in Q4 2024 to €89.6 million in Q4 2025.
  • The 19.9% 5 year earnings trend and current 9% margin together point to earnings that have been both growing and described as high quality, rather than being a one off spike in a single quarter.

Strong recent earnings growth, paired with a 5 year trend near 20% a year, gives bulls plenty to talk about in SYS-DAT’s story.

Margins steady around 9% despite quarterly swings

• Across the trailing 12 months, SYS-DAT’s net profit margin is 9% compared with 9.1% a year earlier, while quarterly net income moved between €1.3 million and €2.0 million in FY 2025 on revenue between €20.3 million and €24.3 million.
• For a cautious take, critics might worry that a margin at 9% leaves less room for error, yet the data shows:
  • Even with quarterly net income ranging from €1.3 million in Q1 2025 to €2.0 million in Q4 2025, the trailing margin only shifted slightly from 9.1% to 9%, which does not point to a sharp squeeze.
  • Revenue per quarter in FY 2025 stayed above €20.3 million after Q1, suggesting the small margin difference is occurring on a larger top line than in FY 2024 when Q3 and Q4 revenues were €12.3 million and €16.2 million.

P/E of 20.7x with price just under DCF fair value

• The shares trade at €4.89 with a trailing P/E of 20.7x, below the European software industry average of 23.4x and peer average of 24.4x, and close to a DCF fair value of about €4.87.
• For investors weighing a more bullish narrative, this mix of growth and valuation raises a few key points:
  • Forecast earnings growth of 13.9% a year and forecast revenue growth of 10.3% a year sit alongside a P/E that is lower than both the industry and peer groups, which can be seen as valuation support for a growth name.
  • The current price of €4.89 is slightly above the DCF fair value of about €4.87, so the gap between market price and that modelled value is very small, with more focus on how durable those double digit growth forecasts turn out to be.
