SecurityTech on the rise: G+D reports strong order intake and high resilience in 2025

In 2025, G+D achieved a record order intake of €3.6 billion (+8%) - a clear indication of the global demand for trusted security solutions and the company's prominent position across its three business segments. Revenue increased to €3.2 billion (+1%), although exchange rate effects dampened growth. Overall, the key figures underscore the company's strong operational performance and profitability: Adjusted EBIT reached a new high of €211 million, marking a 13% year-on-year increase. The substantial free cash flow of €119 million provides additional leeway for future investments.

With its three equally strong segments - Digital Security, Financial Platforms and Currency Technology - G+D boasts a resilient portfolio that effectively cushions market volatility. This structure provides a solid foundation and enhances the company's ability to respond swiftly to technological changes. The company's success in 2025 reflects this strategic strength, combining technological depth, a global presence and operational reliability.

Investments in key digital security technologies

G+D is making targeted investments in the next generation of security technologies, including post-quantum cryptography, cybersecurity, AI-powered security architectures, and highly secure identity solutions. A newly established AI hub in Canada is expanding the global development base and accelerating the transfer of innovative AI technologies into market-ready products.

Two targeted M&A transactions are also expanding the portfolio in high-growth fields and supporting the long-term transformation strategy. With the acquisition of Xtec Inc., a U.S. specialists in digital identity and access management, G+D is strategically expanding its position in the U.S. public sector. The second M&A transaction concerns the digital business of Payments & Banking Services at the German Bank-Verlag. This infrastructure processes one in four card- and internet-based payments in Germany. Consequently, G+D is evolving into an end-to-end digitalization partner for the financial industry in Germany. The effects of these transactions will be fully reflected in the 2026 financial statements.

Major global projects underscore technological relevance

Significant large-scale projects highlight G+D's technological leadership. For example, as the first-ranked contractor in the ECB framework agreement for offline payments for the planned digital euro, G+D is playing an active role in supporting the future of digital currencies in Europe.

In collaboration with AWS, G+D is setting new standards for the secure deployment of global eSIM connectivity, demonstrating the importance of secure communication solutions for critical digital infrastructures. At the same time, partnerships with numerous new customers from the automotive sector confirm the growing importance of secure digital ecosystems in the mobility sector.

G+D is playing a key role in shaping the digital security landscape

"SecurityTech forms the indispensable foundation of modern societies - and G+D sets global standards in this field. Record-breaking order intake and profitability, as well as pioneering customer projects in critical security areas, highlight the company's current performance and future relevance," explains G+D Group CEO Ralf Wintergerst. "G+D is investing decisively, transforming with a clear vision, and bringing innovations such as post-quantum cryptography and AI into real-world applications quickly, reliably, and securely. It is precisely this combination of technology and strategy that makes us a reliable partner for governments, businesses, and citizens in an increasingly digitalized world."
