Alfa Financial Software Holdings PLC on Thursday said it anticipates reporting full-year earnings and revenue exceeding market guidance, as well as ‘a really strong’ fourth quarter. The London-based provider of software to automotive finance providers said its top line ‘continued to grow strongly’ in the fourth quarter, with revenue up 11% on-year, or 12% at constant currency, to £32.5 million. Subscription revenue increased 15% while Delivery revenue rose 16%. Software Engineering revenue decreased, but the roughly 7% decline ‘was smaller than anticipated as some customers pulled forward chargeable development work originally planned for FY2026.’ For 2025 as a whole, Alfa anticipates reporting revenue of £126.5 million. This is around £2 million above market expectations and represents an annual increase of 15% or 17% at CER. Total contract value rose 3% to £227 million. Alfa said operating profit, meanwhile, climbed 17% on-year to £40.0 million, putting it about £3 million ahead of market guidance. The company also highlighted its ‘strong late-stage pipeline comprising ten prospects...eight of which have achieved preferred supplier status’. ‘Overall, we are pleased with the combination of the late-stage pipeline and TCV,’ Alfa said. ‘They point to continued growth in Subscription and Delivery revenues across all regions in 2026, with an expected reduction in Software Engineering revenues as our focus moves to further investment in our product.’ Chief Executive Officer Andrew Denton commented: ‘I am delighted that we have delivered a really strong performance in the quarter and have finished 2025 so strongly. ‘We remain confident in the strength of our markets and our position within those markets and despite obvious currency headwinds we are well positioned to drive overall growth in 2026.’ Shares in Alfa were 0.2% higher at 212.50 pence each on Thursday in London.
