Hybrid Software Group brings the heart of industrial printing to Labelexpo Europe 2023

Cambridge (UK), 5 July 2023: Hybrid Software Group is primed to showcase its innovative stack of products which power the heart of industrial printing at Labelexpo Europe 2023, from 11^th to 14^th September 2023 in Hall 8 B/45. Hybrid Software Group is comprised of six globally recognised brands: ColorLogic GmbH, Global Graphics Software, HYBRID Software, iC3D, Meteor Inkjet, and Xitron.

“We are very much looking forward to Labelexpo Europe 2023, where visitors to the booth can not only expect to discover innovations to individual companies’ product lines, but also an advanced level of value as Hybrid Software Group technology is further synergised and new products are introduced to the market for the first time,” shares Christopher Graf, Chief Marketing Officer, Hybrid Software Group.

HYBRID Software will be demonstrating innovations to the PACKZ and STEPZ PDF editors for prepress and the CLOUDFLOW modular production workflow suite for file processing, asset management, soft proofing and workflow automation.

The newest features of PACKZ include Advanced Color: Analyze & Fix for intelligent production estimation, which provides a snapshot of printed artwork under various printing conditions, including different spot colour strategies. The feature is designed to help label and packaging producers accurately reproduce brand colours using the fewest possible spot colours and therefore the lowest production cost. Other recent developments include Content XML for dynamic content creation using standard markup language, step and repeat for complex label production, and Packzimizer for intelligent ganging of labels, including sheet-fed and flexibles.

CLOUDFLOW’s highlights include the brand-new integration with ColorLogic technology for state-of-the-art spectral colour prediction, new flexo plate layout features in Tectonics, and Intelligent Flexo, the surface screening solution for high-quality flexo printing across a wide variety of plates and substrates. At Labelexpo, visitors will experience first-hand the launch of Velvet Screening, the next-generation hybrid AM/FM screening technology for flexo printing and learn more about MyCLOUDFLOW, the SaaS offering of CLOUDFLOW, perfect for companies looking to modernise and ramp up production without the cost and hassle of initial setup and IT operation.

iC3D Software, developer of 3D visualisation and rendering solutions, will be demonstrating Version 9 of the iC3D Suite. Closing the gap for high-resolution rendering, iC3D Software will introduce CLOUDFLOW and iC3D Automate for high-volume 3D rendering production. Booth visitors will see the benefits of automated workflow integration and the cutting-edge technological innovation in its latest release.

ColorLogic GmbH, leading provider of cutting-edge colour management software solutions, will be providing live demonstrations of ColorLogic’s three flagship products: ColorAnt, CoPrA, and ZePrA and how they integrate with PACKZ and CLOUDFLOW.

Global Graphics Software will be presenting live demos of SmartDFE™, the fastest Digital Front End (DFE) for digital printing of labels and packaging. Also on display will be SmartMedia™, a suite of components that simplifies the process of obtaining the best quality and colour output from a digital press. Available with SmartDFE, SmartMedia also controls PrintFlat™ screens and ColorLogic™ colour profiles. SmartMedia packages all the OEM’s reference press settings for each media and ink set into a library of media definitions and enables press operators to easily select the appropriate media and ink set combination without needing specialist knowledge.

Meteor Inkjet will showcase their complete portfolio of industrial inkjet solutions for labels and packaging including the world’s largest range of electronics driving all major industrial inkjet printheads; cutting-edge printhead nozzle status detection and image quality enhancement technologies; software development kits enabling bespoke printers to be built from the ground up; and DropWatcher Systems to support printer OEMs in the design, optimisation and production of inkjet print systems.

Xitron, developer of Harlequin-based Navigator RIP and workflow products for litho, flexo, screen, digital, and high-speed inkjet, will be highlighting the powerful Navigator Flexo Suite: turnkey workflow automation optimised for flexo label printers, with a macOS- and Windows-compatible client interface, hybrid screening, advanced and automated step-and-repeat functionality, and robust trapping tools.

New release of Mako Core unleashes the power of intelligent print solutions

Mako Core SDK empowers developers to build creative and innovative print solutions across cloud, desktop, and mobile platforms.

Global Graphics Software announces the release of Mako Core™ version 7.0, a groundbreaking update to the popular SDK aimed at developers who create document processing and manipulation capabilities for print applications. Global Graphics Software is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hybrid Software Group (Euronext: HYSG), a leading developer of technology solutions at the heart of industrial printing.

Named after the mako shark for its speed and intelligence, Mako Core 7.0 introduces an intelligent Document Object Model (iDOM) that provides unparalleled access to every aspect of a document’s composition, including fonts, images, vector art, layers, and metadata. With iDOM, developers can effortlessly craft intelligent solutions tailored to the specific requirements of the print industry. Unlike other SDKs that offer generic support for various Page Description Languages (PDLs) such as PDF, PS, OXPS, and PCL across print and digital document domains, Mako is sharply focused on print.

“Mako offers developers a robust solution for processing and manipulating PDLs, with a strong emphasis on print-related functionalities,” explains David Stevenson, Mako’s product manager. “Whether you’re building a PDF viewer, editor, or a custom workflow component, Mako provides the essential print intelligence, eliminating the need for extensive developer expertise. Moreover, it serves as an excellent platform for creating cutting-edge smart print applications, incorporating technologies like machine learning and Artificial Print Intelligence, as demonstrated in our groundbreaking Streamline Direct™ product.”

Mako Core 7.0 now incorporates a powerful color management module (CMM) using technology from sister company ColorLogic GmbH to guarantee ICC profile compatibility and consistent color rendering. With its versatile APIs developers can easily evaluate and transform color properties, enabling precise corrections and streamlined workflows. Mako also offers robust support for extended gamut color, enabling vibrant reproduction beyond the traditional CMYK color space.

Version 7.0 also introduces a powerful layout engine that enables seamless text flow in paragraphs and columns, with support for right-to-left text flow as seen in languages like Hebrew. Mako customer Racami uses Mako to add more print and eDelivery features to the Alchem-e™ system. “Our customers can rest easy knowing that when it comes to Postscript, PCL, and PDF processing, they have the combined expertise of Racami and Global Graphics. Together there is not much we can’t solve,” says Matt Mahoney, executive VP of sales and marketing. “The results using Mako are rock solid both in terms of speed and reliability and there have been no issues compared with the competitive products we looked at.”

The Mako Core development team is dedicated to ensuring their customers’ success. “The support we’ve received from Global Graphics has been consistently excellent which you need to know when you are dealing with mission-critical work,” adds Mahoney.

Performance enhancements are also a key focus. Lukas Petersen, software engineer at EyeC, a leading vision technology company, says: “Since using Mako Core we now have a much more stable and reliable system. Performance is consistent and, even in very complex cases, is up to 50% faster than with the previous PDF Library we had been licensing.”

Among other tasks the Mako SDK iDOM allows you to:

Effortlessly convert between different PDLs
Create new print solutions using Mako as a powerful graphics engine
View PDFs with accurate overprint simulation
Comprehensively analyze various PDLs
Easily manage gigabytes of data and millions of pages
Achieve seamless transparency flattening using both vector and raster techniques
Streamline PDLs through preflighting and optimization
Handle complex color operations, including Extended Gamut Color (EGC) support
Generate new documents from raw data
Build precise Microsoft Windows printer drivers
Create accurate master images for camera- and scanner-based inspection systems

Hybrid Software Group Q1 revenue up 12% over last year

Cambridge (UK) 04 May 2023 (08.00 CEST) – Hybrid Software Group PLC (Euronext: HYSG) provides a trading update for the three months ended 31 March 2023.

CEO Mike Rottenborn comments, “The first quarter of 2023 saw recovering sales in the Printing Software segment with the first marquee sale of our new Digital Front End, SmartDFE, which drives digital inkjet presses with excellent print quality and maximum speed. Printhead Solutions revenues significantly recovered year-over-year as the chip shortages which heavily impacted Q1 2022 revenues have abated.

“Group EBITDA was up in Q1 mainly due to increased revenue. In the Printhead Solutions segment, higher input costs resulting from sourcing difficulties and higher component prices in 2022 did weigh on overall margin contribution, which will continue for some time throughout 2023. However, we anticipate higher revenues from the Enterprise Software segment to offset this.

Although business conditions remain challenging, we have a tight control on costs to insure profitable growth now and in the future.”

Financial highlights for the three months ended 31 March 2023

The following information is unaudited.

Revenue for the period was €13.96 million (2022: €12.45 million)
EBITDA for the period was €3.25 million, or 23% of revenue (2022: €2.74 million, 22% of revenue)

Segment analysis

Hybrid Software Group PLC reports strong 2022 results with €46.7 million revenue and €10.9 million EBITDA

Cambridge (UK), 12 April 2023 (07:00 CEST): Hybrid Software Group PLC (Euronext: HYSG) announces that it has published its annual report and financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2022.

The full document is available to download from the financial reports section of the Company’s web site at: https://www.hybridsoftware.group/investors/financial-reports.

CEO Mike Rottenborn comments, “We entered 2022 with bullish growth projections until the economic downturn began to affect our OEM and our end-user business. In addition, during the first half of the year our revenues were impacted by the global shortage of semiconductor chips. Meteor Inkjet’s revenue fell short of projections by more than £4 million during this period. Their team quickly redesigned a critical circuit board using a chip that was more widely available, but the lost first-half revenue was not fully recovered in 2022. I’m pleased to say that 2023 has started very strongly for Meteor, with revenues recovering to healthy levels and demand from China increasing rapidly.

“Despite all the challenges, we completed two strategic acquisitions, sold an old and unused intangible asset for net €3.3 million, achieved four new patents, and drew the constituent parts of the business closer together into one company, reorganising R&D resources and pushing ahead with product innovation to the benefit of our customers. There’s no doubt that Hybrid Software Group has emerged from 2022 as a stronger company. We have best-in-class technology, a sound business plan focussed on markets that are trending upwards, and strong cash position of Euros 6.3 million.”

Executive Chairman Guido Van der Schueren adds, “2022 was a year of mixed results and we fell short of our growth projections in both revenue and net profit. We acted quickly in response, taking prudent steps to conserve cash and reduce our cost structure, especially external spending. But we never sacrificed the long-term value of Hybrid Software Group. We did not cut any of our key personnel or reduce R&D spending, and if anything, we stepped up our sales efforts and increased the company’s presence at key trade shows and industry events. We have broadened our potential customer reach by offering successful products for all digital printing applications and I anticipate a much higher level of growth and profitability in the very near future.”

Financial highlights

For the year ended 31 December
In thousands of euros	2022	2021
*Continuing operations*
Revenue	46,693	48,562
Operating profit	2,274	4,770
Profit before tax	1,835	4,565
Tax (charge)/credit	(535)	349
Profit from continuing operations	1,300	4,914

EBITDA – continuing operations	10,895	12,211

Adjusted operating profit – continuing operations	2,106	7,308
Adjusted net profit – continuing operations	945	6,390

Basic earnings per share (euro) – continuing operations	0.04	0.15
Adjusted earnings per share (euro) – continuing operations	0.03	0.20

Available cash	6,317	9,234

The consolidated pre-tax result for continuing operations was €1.84 million compared with a profit of €4.57 million in 2021. The decrease in profitability of €2.73 million was due to:

a decrease in revenue of €1.87 million;
a decrease in cost of sales of €1.09 million;
an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of €4.38 million;
an increase in research and development expenses of €0.78 million;
a decrease in other operating expenses of €0.18 million;
an increase in other income of €3.27 million;
an increase in net finance expenses of €0.79 million; and
a decrease in foreign exchange losses of €0.55 million.

Revenue for the Printing Software segment was €15.26 million for the year (2021: €13.84 million).

Revenue for the Printhead Solutions segment was €8.66 million for the year (2021: €13.98 million). This segment was severely impacted by the shortage of its most commonly used chip until a critical circuit board was redesigned using a different component in mid-2022.

Revenue for the Enterprise Software segment was €22.78 million for the year (2021: €20.74 million).

Gross profit for the period increased to 84.2% of revenue (2021: 82.5%), primarily due to the higher mix of

software related sales during the year, particularly higher margin sales to end users by HYBRID Software.

Included in selling, general and administrative expenses is amortisation of €1.17 million (2021: €0.84 million)

related to intangible assets recognised as a result of acquisitions.

Research and development expenses includes the capitalisation and amortisation of internally generated intangible assets and the amortisation of certain intangible assets recognised as a result of acquisitions. During the period there was a net capitalisation of development expenditure of €2.00 million (2021: €2.39 million) and amortisation of acquired intangible assets of €5.10 million (2021: €3.93 million).

The net capitalisation of development expenditure comprised €4.0 million (2021: €3.40 million) of capitalised expenditure less €2.0 million (2021: €1.01 million) of amortisation.

The third quarter results were favourably impacted by the sale of an unused asset (approximately 69,000 IPv4 internet addresses) for a net amount of €3.3 million which closed in July. Given the nature of the sale this income is reported as “Other Income” and is not included in our revenue figures, but it is accretive to EBITDA.

Total operating expenses increased by €4.98 million, or 14.1% compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was mainly due to higher sales & marketing related expenditures, increased amortization expenses and higher staff cost resulting from the acquisitions of ColorLogic and Hybrid Iberia in Q4 2021, and iC3D in Q1 2022.

Foreign exchange gains and losses were primarily due to the revaluation of currency balances held at the balance sheet date and the change in exchange rates during the year.

The Company presents EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) and adjusted profit when reporting its financial results to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate the Group’s results in a manner that focuses on what the Group believes to be its underlying business operations. The Group’s management believes that the inclusion of adjusted financial results provides consistency and comparability with past reports.

Additional commentary and analysis of the Company’s consolidated results for the year ending 31 December 2022 can be found in the annual report and financial statements.

Should you wish to receive a printed copy of the annual report, please send an e-mail to investor-relations@hybridsoftware.group or make your request in writing, for the attention of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, to 2030 Cambourne Business Park, Cambourne, Cambridge, CB23 6DW, UK.

Annual General Meeting

The Company will hold its annual general meeting on Wednesday 24 May 2023. The official notice of the meeting will be available on the Company’s website at: https://www.hybridsoftware.group/investors/shareholders-annual-general-meeting.

Hybrid Software Group kondigt goedkeuring van prospectus en toelating van aandelen voor openbare handel aan volgend op de overname van HYBRID Software

Cambridge (VK) 28 december 2022 (08.00 CET) – Hybrid Software Group PLC (Euronext: HYSG) is verheugd aan te kondigen dat de prospectus inzake de overname van HYBRID Software daterend van januari 2021 werd goedgekeurd voor openbare publicatie en beschikbaar werd gesteld op www.hybridsoftware.group/investors/hybrid-software-acquisition.

Guido Van der Schueren, voorzitter van Hybrid Software Group: “We zijn verheugd om deze laatste stap in de succesvolle overname van HYBRID Software af te ronden. Hoewel de transactie bijna twee jaar geleden werd gedaan, werd het proces ter publicatie van de Prospectus en de notering van de nieuw uitgegeven aandelen danig vertraagd door ongewenste gevolgen van Brexit op het regelgevende kader en de unieke situatie van ons bedrijf met hoofdzetel in het Verenigd Koninkrijk maar met notering op Euronext Brussels. Dit weerhield ons er echter niet van om HYBRID Software te integreren als de grootste component van Hybrid Software Group, zowel qua personeel als qua omzet. De overname is al een succes en levert reeds synergiën op voor het bedrijf.”

Hybrid Software Group announces approval of prospectus for acquisition of HYBRID Software and admission of consideration shares for trading

Cambridge (UK) 28 December 2022 (08.00 CET) – Hybrid Software Group PLC (Euronext: HYSG) is pleased to announce that the Prospectus for the January 2021 acquisition of HYBRID Software has been approved for public release and is available at https://www.hybridsoftware.group/investors/hybrid-software-acquisition. The 21,074,030 new shares that were issued as consideration for the purchase of HYBRID Software will be listed for trading on Euronext Brussels on 28 December 2022.

Guido Van der Schueren, Chairman of Hybrid Software Group, comments, “We are happy to conclude this final step in the successful acquisition of HYBRID Software. Although the transaction was completed nearly two years ago, accounting changes after Brexit delayed the publication of the Prospectus and the listing of the additional shares for trading. But this didn’t stop us from integrating HYBRID Software as the largest component of Hybrid Software Group, both in headcount and revenue. The acquisition has already been a success and continues to deliver additional synergies to the company.”
