• Widespread approval of all agenda items
• Strong demand for SAP S/4HANA transformation projects – expansion of customer base for future consulting business
• In addition to SAP migrations (conversions), Business AI will be a strategic driver for further growth

All for One Group SE, a leading international IT service provider focusing on SAP solutions and services, held its annual general meeting for the 2023/24 financial year yesterday. 65.7 percent of the share capital was represented at the AGM. The shareholders present listened with great interest to the presentations made by the management board and approved all the proposals put forward by a large majority.

Among other things, a resolution was passed to distribute a dividend of EUR 1.60 per share for the 2023/24 financial year. This is a good 10 per cent higher than the previous year’s figure of EUR 1.45 and corresponds to a payout ratio of 43 per cent of the Grop result and, based on the share price of EUR 57.6 on 14 March 2025, a dividend yield of 3%. The company once again confirms its position as a reliable dividend stock.

In its report on the year and the outlook for the All for One Group, the management board not only highlighted the strong customer demand and the successful transformation projects of »RISE with SAP« and »GROW with SAP«, but also reiterated the disruption in the market for SAP solutions. Many companies are now focusing on transforming to the cloud with SAP S/4HANA, while specific application and lines of business solutions are increasingly being postponed due to the economic situation and increasing global political uncertainty. The main reason for this is SAP’s announced strategy to deliver innovation exclusively via cloud applications and to largely discontinue support for older SAP solutions from 2027. In addition to the fundamental need for greater digitisation, the wave of migration to cloud-based ERP systems is leading to sustained high demand for consulting services. All for One is increasingly benefiting from this transformation business. Artificial intelligence, which SAP has defined as an outstanding growth topic and which is gradually being integrated into all applications, will be a major opportunity. The aim is not only to capture the data collected along the processes and value creation stages, but also to derive the right actions from it. All for One also sees considerable potential in this area and offers customers specific events, training and helpful use cases.

»The past financial year has confirmed our growth strategy. We are growing with the wave of transformation. We are winning customers from competitors who rely on our expertise, as well as from companies that are switching to SAP for the first time. All of this contributes to our customer base, which is the foundation for our growing business along the SAP lifecycle and application cycle«, said Michael Zitz, CEO of All for One Group SE, in his address to shareholders. »We intend to continue on this growth path in the coming years. Both organically and through strategic acquisitions that will further strengthen and expand our service offering.«

»In addition to SAP conversions, Business AI will be a strong lever for our further growth. Artificial intelligence will be integrated across the SAP and Microsoft portfolio. Our goal is to use Business AI solutions and services to generate concrete business benefits for our customers. This topic is increasingly becoming our focus. That’s why, during the German AI month of May, everything at All for One will revolve around Business AI – for example, on 14 May 2025 as part of our ONE DAYS Business AI for CIOs«, adds Michael Zitz.

At the annual general meeting, the actions of the management board and the supervisory board of All for One Group were approved by a large majority of the shareholders present. The same applied to the appointment of the auditor and the agenda items relating to the compensation report and the compensation system. The shareholders also authorised the management board to acquire and use treasury shares, create new authorised capital, amend the articles of association accordingly and authorise the exclusion of shareholders‘ subscription rights.

»In spite of a visible reluctance on the part of customers to purchase specialised solutions in our LOB segment in recent months, we remain very confident. In our CORE segment, we are experiencing strong growth in ERP transformations and are outperforming the market. Many well-known upper mid-market companies rely on our transformation expertise. This was recently recognised with the SAP® MEE Partner Excellence Award 2025 as the best performing SAP Cloud Partner in Central Europe«, explains CFO Stefan Land.

In its speech, the management board confirmed that the forecast for the financial year 2024/25 will be achieved, despite the weak start in the LOB segment due to the economic situation. Based on the first quarter and against the backdrop of a continued robust order situation, the project pipeline and a growing customer base, the management board continues to expect revenue growth of between EUR 525 million and EUR 540 million for the 2024/25 financial year (2023/24: EUR 511.4 million). EBIT before M&A effects (non-IFRS) is expected to be between EUR 36.5 million and EUR 40.5 million (2023/24: EUR 34.0 million).

All for One Group continues to expect robust mid-single-digit organic revenue growth in the coming years, complemented by inorganic growth in promising portfolio areas and markets. The EBIT margin before M&A effects (non-IFRS) is expected to exceed 8% in the 2025/26 financial year.
