Lectra Shows Performance Improvement in Q2 2026

Lectra, a company specializing in software solutions for the fashion and textile industries, reported a turnaround in its business performance during the second quarter of 2026. Revenues remained stable year-on-year at €126.5 million, representing a 1% increase on a like-for-like basis. The company also confirmed its strategic objectives for the 2026-2028 period.

In the second quarter, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) before non-recurring items rose by 12% to €21.6 million. The EBITDA margin improved to 17.1%, reflecting a structural strengthening of Lectra's business model. Growth in recurring revenues and continued cost discipline helped offset weaker equipment orders.

For the first half of 2026, total revenues decreased by 6% to €239.6 million. This decline was primarily due to a 26% drop in non-recurring revenues, while recurring revenues, which constitute 79% of the total, grew by 2%. Software as a Service (SaaS) revenues saw a significant 14% increase, with Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) reaching €102.6 million.

The company's net income for the first half of the year was €9.7 million. Lectra maintained a solid financial position, with shareholders' equity at €340.4 million and net debt at €64.3 million as of June 30, 2026. Free cash flow before non-recurring items stood at €24.5 million.
