SD Worx records double-digit growth and strengthens European position
2 March 2026
SD Worx, the leading European HR and payroll solutions provider, reported strong financial results for 2025. Consolidated revenues rose by 10.7% to EUR 1.307 billion. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased to EUR 271.2 million (+16.5%). The consolidated net result surpassed EUR 100 million for the first time, reaching EUR 101.4 million last year (+6.9%). This solid performance enables SD Worx to continue investing in scalable digital and AI platforms and compliant, high-quality solutions for customers across Europe.
Underpinning its organic growth, SD Worx advanced its product portfolio with major technology innovations: the company introduced continuous, real-time payroll technology for German employers, and expanded SD Worx Buddy, its all-in-one HR and payroll platform for SMEs. For larger enterprises, SD Worx strengthened Innovapay, its country-specific payroll framework integrated with SAP. Adoption of SD Worx’s digital and AI solutions continued to accelerate, with nearly 1.7 million unique users relying on mysdworx for daily HR and payroll transactions. AI-powered tools, ranging from customer service chatbots over AI-enabled coding and compliance tracking to automated reporting assistants, further enhanced efficiency and improved customer experience.
SD Worx also further reinforced its European footprint through acquisitions. With the transaction of Socialea, SD Worx strengthened its position in France, Europe’s third largest payroll market, while broadening access to the fast-growing SME segment. In Italy, SD Worx acquired Labour Consulting, with deep local payroll and labour advisory expertise in the region of Emilia-Romagna.
Filip Dierckx, chairman of the Board of Directors at SD Worx: “Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment marked by slowing growth and more cautious customer decision making, we delivered a strong year. Our core business proved resilient and our disciplined cost management, automation and standardisation efforts, supported increasingly by AI, allowed us to protect margins and strengthen profitability. These results confirm the robustness of our strategy and give us confidence for the future.”
