Broadpeak reports its H1 2025 results
Cesson-Sévigné (France), 23 September 2025 Broadpeak (ISIN: FR001400AJZ7 – Ticker: ALBPK), a leading provider of video streaming software solutions, is today publishing its results for the first half of 2025. The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting on 22 September 2025 and were subject to a limited review by the Statutory Auditors.
*Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDA (operating income + depreciation, amortisation and impairment) after recognition of the research tax credit (CIR)
Broadpeak posted revenue at 30 June 2025 of €21.7 million, an increase of 26.2% on the first half of 2024 (+27.8% at constant exchange rates [1] ). This performance resulted from an increase of +10.6% in the first quarter followed by an acceleration of +37.3% in the second quarter, linked to a major Cloud PVR contract, worth several million euros, with a European operator that has been a customer of Broadpeak for several years. Buoyed by this contract, business in EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa) grew by 88.2% in the first half of the year. In the Americas, the decline in activity (-36.9%) partly reflects a difficult comparison basis (growth of 11% in the first half of 2024) but does not call into question the momentum over the medium-term. In APAC (Asia-Pacific), revenue rose by 66.1%, driven by several significant contracts. In terms of the product mix, all activities saw sustained growth: Licences & Services (+23.4% to €9.9 million), having benefited from the aforementioned Cloud PVR contract; Maintenance & SaaS (+29.6% to €9.6 million), which continued to ramp up steadily; Equipment (+24.2% to €2.2 million), which experienced an atypical first quarter (x3.6) linked to the initial equipment phase of a major project in Asia signed in 2024. Positive EBITDA and a significantly smaller net loss The Group’s gross margin increased by 23% in the first half of 2025 to €17.0 million. The gross margin rate therefore remained high at 78.6% for the period vs. 80.6% in H1 2024. For the first time in this period of the year traditionally affected by an unfavourable seasonal adjustment, the Group posted positive H1 EBITDA, at €0.8 million. This compares with a loss of -€4.2 million a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA, i.e. restated for the research tax credit (€2.1 million for the period), came to +€2.9 million in H1 compared with -€1.9 million in the first half of 2024. The cost-saving measures that the Group started to implement at the beginning of 2024 have shown results. Personnel expenses were stable (+1% to €13.1 million) due to a decrease in the internal headcount, which mainly occurred at the end of the first half. Meanwhile, there was a further decrease in the number of external employees, leading to a 32% contraction in outsourcing expenses to €3.6 million. There was a decrease also in other operating expenses (-5% to €3.4 million). The Group made an operating loss of -€2.9 million at 30 June 2025, compared with ‑ €6.6 million. It includes depreciation and amortization of €3.7 million (vs. €2.6 million), reflecting the amortization cycle of R&D costs incurred in the past. After factoring in tax of €1.9 million, vs. €2.4 million in the first half of 2024, Broadpeak made a net loss of -€1.5 million (vs. -€4.4 million).
Increase in WCR due to strong revenue growth On the balance sheet, Broadpeak’s shareholders’ equity stood at €18.4 million, compared with €20.2 million at the end of 2024. The Group’s free cash flow generation was -€2.2 million for the first six months of the year, compared with -€0.8 million for the same period in 2024. This change is largely due to the increase in working capital requirements (WCR) on account of trade receivables (+23% over the period to €18.7 million). An increase entirely linked to the strong growth in revenue, the major European contract signed in the first half of the year in particular being billable only from the second half of 2025. Meanwhile, payment terms continued to decrease during the first six months of the year, reflecting the rigorous management of receivables. As of June 30, 2025, cash position stood at €1.1 million (vs. €4.1 million) and financial debt fell to €10.2 million (vs. €11 million). Net debt thus stood at €9.1 million (vs. €6.9 million).
Positive sales momentum backed by ongoing innovation Following this solid first half of the year, Broadpeak continues to see positive sales momentum both in its flagship legacy offerings (Advanced CDN, Multicast ABR, Cloud PVR) and its SaaS platform broadpeak.io. Last August, the Group was chosen by the operator Telenor to replace its existing CDN infrastructure by deploying a high-performance streaming platform across Norway, Sweden and Finland. Broadpeak continues to ramp up its SaaS offerings. After signing 24 new contracts in the first half of 2025 (vs. 15 in H1 2024), which include leading international players like Taiwanese leader Chunghwa Telecom, Malaysian operator Media Prima Berhad and Rotana Media Services in the Middle East, to name a few, in July French player RMC BFM selected the Dynamic Ad Insertion solution for delivery via Broadpeak’s SaaS platform. This sales momentum is driven by ongoing technological enrichment of Broadpeak’s portfolio of solutions. Launched at the beginning of the year, the Edgepeak TM solution enhances the Advanced CDN offering with edge computing features. This summer, Broadpeak launched a new anti-piracy solution for enhanced security of large-scale streaming events. In relation to its SaaS platform, Broadpeak recently rolled out new “HyperPoP” internet access points in the UK, Switzerland, Greece and Mexico; this expands its CDN as a service solution to increase its global reach so that it can accelerate the conquest of streaming platform and new media customers. Also, this month, during the 2025 IBC trade show in Amsterdam, the Group officially launched the SaaS version of its Analytics solution, which offers tools to help improve customer satisfaction. Analytics is the Group’s third legacy solution to integrate the broadpeak.io platform, after Dynamic Ad Insertion (in 2022) and Advanced CDN (in 2024). Financial targets confirmed for the current financial year and to 2027 Given these technological and commercial developments, the growth in the order book, and the expected growth in recurring revenue, Broadpeak enjoys good visibility for the rest of the year. The Group thus confirms its confidence in achieving its revenue growth target for 2025, bearing in mind that the comparison base will be more difficult in the second half of the year. It also confirms its forecast of a return to positive EBITDA, secured mainly through its performance in the first half of the year. Broadpeak’s objective for 2027 is to exceed €50 million in revenue, 50% of which recurring revenue (SaaS and Maintenance), and achieve an EBITDA margin of around 15%.
