CPU Softwarehouse AG — fiscal year 2023 (year ended 31 December 2023): The company reported a consolidated net profit of about €50,000 (FY2022: €24,413), achieving its target of a balanced/positive result despite revenue falling to €3.1 million (FY2022: €4.0 million) as services revenue declined. Management continued a strategic shift and investment into the software business, which grew but did not fully offset service revenue drops; the company warns of a materially negative result expected for FY2024 due to one-off, non-cash charges related to the winding-up of a subsidiary and related currency-reserve adjustments.

Key financial figures

Consolidated net profit: ~€50,000 (2023) vs €24,413 (2022). Revenue: €3.1m (2023) down from €4.0m (2022). Cash/financial resources at year-end: €0.830m (31.12.2023) vs €1.251m (31.12.2022).

Revenue mix and trends

Services revenue fell to €2.080m (2023) from €3.333m (2022). Software revenue rose to €0.391m (2023) from €0.136m (2022). Software maintenance increased to €0.650m (2023) from €0.576m (2022).

Investments and balance-sheet effects

Ongoing strategic investments increased intangible fixed assets (mainly capitalized internal development). Working capital and liquid funds declined due to high investment activity. A capital increase during the year brought ~€0.6m cash inflow.

Capital structure and liquidity

Equity strengthened: equity ratio rose to 78.7% (2023) from 63.7% (2022), supported by the capital increase; year-end financial liquidity reduced to €0.830m.

Strategy and operational focus

CPU is deliberately reorienting from consultant/services deployment toward expanding its software product portfolio (banking, controlling, cross-industry digitalisation) and has already won new development projects with existing clients to build the software segment as a future growth driver.

Outlook and near-term risks

Management expects FY2024 to show a significant negative result driven by the final dissolution of CPU Bankensoftware AG i. L., non-cash reversal of currency-translation reserves and related write‑downs. The company maintains a mid-term target of a net margin of 3–5% through continued cost/earnings management and further investments in sales and product development.
