What else do investors need to know?

FINEOS secured two new AdminSuite clients, including Australia's Motor Accident Insurance Board (MAIB) and a North American carrier, cementing its global footprint. The company also expanded relationships with OneAmerica and other clients, driving further cross-selling and up-selling opportunities.

Operationally, FINEOS reported several major client implementations delivered on time and within budget. Cost discipline was evident as total operating expenses fell, thanks to ongoing investments in technology, process improvement and a growing focus on AI to boost efficiency.

What did FINEOS management say?

Michael Kelly, Founder, Chair, and Chief Executive Officer, said:

FINEOS delivered a strong first half, achieving many operational milestones and client wins, while at the same time continuing to improve its financial performance. Our customer success performance has helped us achieve numerous cross-sell and up-sell wins with our existing clients as well as multiple client go-lives, as they increasingly see the benefits of our FINEOS Platform.
"Pleasingly, we continued to grow our free cash flow while improving our gross profit and EBITDA margins. Our ARR also improved as we continued to grow higher-margin recurring product subscription revenue. As a result, we were able to report a small net profit for the half and remain confident for future growth and business pipeline opportunities.… We continue to be positive about our outlook and growth prospects for the remainder of FY26 and beyond.

What's next for FINEOS?

For the remainder of FY26, FINEOS is targeting more revenue growth, margin expansion and cash build, with priorities including successful go-lives for new clients, advances in AI capabilities, and further up-selling to existing large customers.

The company reiterated FY26 revenue guidance between €147 million and €152 million, underpinned by a strong pipeline and locked-in revenues from scaling clients. Looking further out, FINEOS aims to grow its subscription revenue share to 65% by FY27, lift EBITDA margins and expand internationally, especially in the North American benefits market.
