Milan, 10 November, 2026 – Growens S.p.A. – GROW (the “Company” or the “Issuer” or “Growens”), a company admitted to trading on the multilateral trading facility Euronext Growth Milan and operating in the cloud marketing technology field, announces that today the Board of Directors examined certain consolidated financial data concerning the third quarter and first nine months of 2026.

Consolidated revenues for the first nine months of 2026, at 59.4M EUR, grew by approximately 8.5% vs 9m 2025, while Q3 2026 posts revenues above 19M EUR, up 2.5% vs Q3 2025. 9m EBITDA rises to over 2M EUR vs 0.6M EUR as of 30/09/2025, as a result of the margin recovery of both Business Units. EBITDA for Q3 2026 is positive at over 0.8M EUR.

 

“The first nine months of 2026 confirm that the Group’s profitability is improving. Revenues grew by 8.5% to 59.4M EUR, EBITDA exceeded 2M EUR, more than tripling compared to the same period of 2025, and the pre-tax loss was more than halved. Thanks to cost discipline and a positive net financial position of 11.8M EUR, we can fund future investments with our own resources.”

Matteo Monfredini, Chairman and founder of Growens

“Over the first nine months of 2026, Beefree achieved positive EBITDA, a sharp improvement from -1.7M EUR in the same period of 2025, with ARR of 18.7M USD and a gross margin of 89%. Growth is driven by Beefree SDK, whose ARR increased by 11%, confirming the soundness of our strategic positioning. Agile Telecom also continues to grow, with revenues up approximately 10% to over 47M EUR, focusing on contract profitability as well as on the potential of the new Qlara initiative, launched in early October.”

Nazzareno Gorni, CEO and founder of Growens

Comments to the results

Consolidated total Revenues for 9m 2026 amount to 59.4M EUR, up 8.5% versus the same period of the previous year: such result is driven by the growth of both the SaaS component, accounting for approximately 20% of total revenues, and the CPaaS line, accounting for 79% of total revenues, each at approximately 9%.

The Agile Telecom Business Unit posted the highest revenues in absolute terms, in excess of 47M EUR, growing by approximately 10%, following the strategy of focus on contract profitability.

The Beefree Business Unit reached approximately 11.6M EUR / 13.5M USD in revenues, driven by increasing sales volumes, with growth above 4%, or over 8% at constant FX rate. ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue, a very popular key performance indicator for a subscription business, showing the average annualized recurring value of existing contracts) equals 18.7M USD as of September 2026.

Consolidated recurring revenues (SaaS – Software as a Service subscriptions), representing over 20% of total sales at approximately 12M EUR, grew by 9% vs the first nine months of 2025.

Foreign revenues amount to 44.5M EUR, representing 76% of total sales, up 15% vs the same period of the previous year.

 

Gross Profit grows by 7% to 15.7M EUR, with a margin above 26% on sales, substantially stable compared to the same period of 2025. COGS grow substantially in line with revenues (9%), with an unchanged incidence on revenues compared to the nine months ended 30 September 2025.

Consolidated EBITDA is positive at over 0.8M EUR in Q3 and over 2M EUR in the nine months ended 30 September 2026, continuing the trend of sharp improvement versus the same period of 2025, driven by containment actions affecting all main cost items: Sales & Marketing (-3%), Research&Development (-7% of the expensed component) and general expenses (-2%). Beefree’s standalone EBITDA is positive at approximately 0.2M EUR, a significant improvement on the same period of the previous year.

Earnings before taxes (EBT) for the nine months are negative by 1.2M EUR, a loss more than halved compared to the first nine months of 2025, after depreciation and amortization of 3.4M EUR, of which 2.9M EUR relate to the amortization of capitalized R&D activities.

 

The consolidated Net Financial Position as of 30 September 2026 amounts to approximately 11.8M EUR cash, up from the net cash balance of 11.2M EUR as of 31 December 2025, with a positive change largely driven by the cost containment measures implemented across the Group during the reporting period. The adoption of IFRS 16, relating to rent, leasing and hire costs, results in figurative debt of approximately 0.9M EUR. Short-term available liquidity exceeds 16M EUR.
