Lectra Q3 results show resilience amid trade tensions

Lectra's consolidated financial results for the third quarter of 2025 showed resilience amid high international trade tensions, which continue to cause customer caution, particularly in important markets like China, India, and Mexico. Revenues for Q3 declined by 4 percent on a like-for-like basis , although the drop in new systems orders slowed to a less pronounced 15 percent like-for-like decline, an improvement from the 27 percent decline in the second quarter.

The company's business model strength was confirmed by a 2 percent increase in recurring revenues, driven by a 13 percent growth in highly strategic SaaS subscriptions. However, profitability was pressured, with EBITDA before non-recurring items falling 13 percent to 21.2 million euros, and net income decreasing 29 percent to 7.2 million euros.

For the first nine months of 2025, revenues amounted to 383.1 million euros, down 2 percent , but recurring revenues grew 2 percent and now account for 75 percent of total revenues.

The company successfully completed its 2023-2025 strategic roadmap, which delivered a wide range of solid results, including a threefold increase in SaaS revenues and enhanced financial resilience. Despite the adverse geopolitical and macroeconomic context, which has forced the Group to suspend specific annual targets, Lectra remains confident in its strategy and is focused on future growth.
