CEO review
In the second quarter, our revenue grew by 6.8% totaling EUR 5.7 million (EUR 5.4 million). H1 revenue grew by 2.6% totaling EUR 11.1 million (EUR 10.8 million). Reported sales growth continues to be affected by the weaker US dollar, and with constant currency rates the quarterly revenue growth would have been 7.7% and YTD growth would have been 5.2%. Invoicing grew by 11.8% totaling EUR 5.5 million. EBITDA was positive at EUR 0.2 (EUR 0.4 million) reflecting continued investments in sales, marketing and R&D activities.
EMEA continued its stable progress, with revenue growing by 8.5% in the second quarter. Despite the weaker US dollar, AMER region grew by 10.0%, but APAC declined by 11.3%.
Total ARR including maintenance sales, grew by 5.4% to EUR 21.1 million. Subscription ARR grew by 14.3% to EUR 14.8 million.
Privx, now our largest solution business area, continued to be the company’s strong growth engine, with PrivX PAM growing by 25.1% in the second quarter. New PrivX deals were won with Leonardo as well as with a European internet exchange, a global IT services provider and a US-based energy company. Multiple customers also expanded their use of PrivX.
Market transition from static credentials to short-lived access continued to accelerate. We began the migration of a large Key Manager customer, a UK-based multinational bank, to PrivX and its modern, automated ephemeral (temporary) access capabilities. Further migration opportunities were also identified among other customers.
PrivX continued to achieve positive market recognition and was named as an overall leader in the 2026 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass™ for Privileged Access Management. This follows the earlier recognitions received in Q1 2026 and Q4 2025 from multiple other analysts.
Our partnership with Leonardo continued to progress. New business involving Leonardo progressed through PSN, the Italian sovereign cloud services provider, and in the public sector. We expect the business generated through the Leonardo partnership to accelerate during the second half of the year.
Following the repurchase of nearly all of the hybrid loan, our liquidity remains strong. We are well positioned to leverage our earlier investments to drive growth, while continuing to invest in future opportunities.
SSH Communications Security will release its Business Review for the third quarter of the year on October 28, 2026
