Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • 1H26 cash EBITDA jumped 47.1% to $62.5 million on efficiency gains.
  • Annualized savings reached $31.5 million, with another $6-$9 million due in 2H26.
  • RBC Brewin Dolphin went live on Xplan, while Fairstone renewed for three years.

What critics are saying

  • FY26 guidance fell because UK non-recurring revenue dropped after large-client project completion.
  • CFO Cameron Williamson leaves in November 2026, complicating execution during product transition.
  • If Xplan upgrades slip, FNZ and SS&C seize UK wealth share by FY27.

What makes Iress unique

  • Recurring revenue reached 95% in 1H26, making Iress unusually subscription-heavy.
  • Xplan serves five of the UK's eight largest wealth managers by AUM.
  • Wealth and Trading software creates sticky integrations across advice, administration, and market data.

IRESS lifts cash EBITDA 47% to $62.5M as recurring revenue hits 95% of total

IRESS Ltd reported strong recurring revenue growth of 3.4% on a constant currency basis in the first half of 2026, now representing 95% of continuing business revenue. The financial technology firm's cash EBITDA surged 47.1% to $62.5 million, with margins expanding more than 740 basis points to 24.5%. The company's business efficiency programme delivered $31.5 million in annualised efficiencies, exceeding targets, with a further $6 million to $9 million expected in the second half. IRESS declared an interim dividend of $0.14 per share, up 27% from the previous period. However, the company lowered its FY26 revenue growth guidance to 1-2% from the previous 3-5% range, primarily due to declining non-recurring revenue in the UK. Leverage improved to 0.5 times as of 30 June. The firm expects FY26 constant currency revenue of $509 million to $515 million and cash EBITDA of $121 million to $126 million.
