Previous Earnings Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 26 | Q4/FY 2025 earnings | Positive | +2.4% | Record 2025 revenue and net income driven by Sapiens sale and subsidiaries. |
| Nov 20 | Q3 2025 earnings | Positive | -7.0% | Strong Q3 and nine‑month growth with Sapiens treated as discontinued ops. |
| Aug 19 | Q2 2025 earnings | Positive | +3.2% | Record Q2 revenue, higher operating income despite lower net income. |
| May 22 | Q1 2025 earnings | Positive | -6.5% | Record Q1 revenue and profits plus dividend declaration and strong balance sheet. |
| Mar 20 | Q4/FY 2024 earnings | Positive | -2.3% | Record 2024 revenue and net income plus Matrix–Magic merger MOU. |
Earnings releases have often been strong fundamentally, but share reactions skew modestly negative, with more divergences than alignments.
Over the past five earnings-related announcements from Mar 2024–Mar 2026, Formula Systems consistently reported record or growing revenues, solid operating income, and strategic moves such as the Sapiens sale and the Matrix–Magic merger. Despite generally strong fundamentals, share reactions were mixed: three events saw negative next‑day moves, while two were positive. The current Q1 2026 release, with record revenue and net income plus contributions from the TSG capital gain and Matrix–Magic merger, continues this pattern of robust operational performance alongside uneven market responses.
Historical Comparison
In the last 5 earnings releases, FORTY’s average next‑day move was -2.04%. Today’s -3.32% move on record Q1 2026 results fits the pattern of cautious to negative reactions despite strong fundamentals.
Earnings updates show progression from record 2024 results, through Sapiens’ sale and reclassification as discontinued operations, to the Matrix–Magic merger and now record Q1 2026 performance across key metrics.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement highlights record Q1 2026 revenue of $738.3 million and net income of $35.6 million, aided by strong subsidiary contributions and a $16.8 million gain from TSG transactions. It follows a recently declared $13.045-per-share special dividend totaling about $200 million. Compared with prior earnings releases, the company continues to emphasize balance sheet strength, covenant compliance, and growth at Matrix, Michpal and TSG. Key metrics to watch include organic revenue growth, recurring profitability, and further capital deployment decisions.

Revenues for the first quarter increased by
OR YEHUDA, Israel, May 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Formula Systems (1985) Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: FORTY) (“Formula” or the “Company”), a global information technology group engaged, through its subsidiaries and affiliates, in providing software consulting services and computer-based business solutions and developing proprietary software products, today announced its results of operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Financial Highlights for the First Quarter of 2026
- On February 24, 2026, Matrix IT Ltd. (“Matrix”) and Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. (“Magic Software”), both subsidiaries of the Company, announced the completion of their merger agreement. The transaction, which was effected through a reverse triangular merger, resulted in Matrix acquiring all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Magic Software in consideration for the allotment of 28,861,564 ordinary shares of Matrix to Magic Software’s shareholders (0.5878202 Matrix ordinary shares for each Magic Software ordinary share). Following completion of the merger, Magic Software became a wholly owned (
100% ) subsidiary of Matrix, its shares were delisted from trading on Nasdaq and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, and it ceased to be a public company. - Revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 increased by
19.2% year over year, reaching a first quarter record-breaking$738.3 million , compared to$619.4 million in the same period last year. - Operating income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 increased by
65.6% year over year, reaching a first quarter record-breaking$82.0 million compared to$49.5 million in the same period last year. Operating income for the first quarter of 2026 included a capital gain of$16.8 million resulting from exercise of employee stock-based compensation and a secondary private placement transaction completed by our affiliate, TSG IT Advanced Systems Ltd. (“TSG”), in January 2026. On January 13, 2026, TSG’s Board of Directors approved a capital raise through a private placement to institutional investors, pursuant to which TSG raised approximately NIS 192 million (approximately$58.9 million ) through the issuance of 320,374 ordinary shares at a price of NIS 600 per share, together with 128,150 non-tradable warrants (allocated at no additional consideration at a ratio of 0.4 warrant per share), each exercisable for one ordinary share at an exercise price of NIS 720 per share through July 22, 2027. The terms of the private placement also provides for a potential additional investment by the institutional investors of approximately NIS 92 million (approximately$29.1 million ) in the event all warrants are fully exercised. The allocated shares and warrants represent approximately9.23% of TSG’s fully diluted share capital. As a result of this transaction and the exercise of TSG’s employee stock-based compensation,during the first quarter of 2026 Formula’s ownership interest in TSG was diluted from37.33% to33.08% , causing the$16.8 million capital gain. Excluding this capital gain, operating income would have increased by31.7% year over year, to$65.2 million . - Net income from continued operations attributable to Formula’s shareholders for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, increased by approximately
203.4% year over year, reaching a first quarter record-breaking$35.6 million , or$2.25 per fully diluted share, compared to$11.7 million , or$0.75 per fully diluted share, in the same period last year. Excluding the impact of the capital gain resulting from TSG’s secondary private placement transaction and the exercise of TSG’s employee stock-based compensation, net income from continued operations attributable to Formula’s shareholders would have increased by60.5% year over year, to$18.9 million . - Net income attributable to Formula’s shareholders for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 increased by approximately
84.5% year over year, reaching a first quarter record-braking$35.6 million , or$2.25 per fully diluted share, compared to$19.3 million , or$1.23 per fully diluted share, in the same period last year. - On May 14, 2026, Formula announced that its board of directors has approved the distribution of a special cash dividend, based on its results for 2025, including, in particular, the completion of the acquisition of Formula’s former subsidiary Sapiens International Corporation (“Sapiens”) by Advent, of
$13.045 per share, or approximately$200.0 million in total. The dividend will be paid in U.S dollars on June 4, 2026, to all of the Company’s shareholders of record at the close of trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (or the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange, as appropriate) on May 25, 2026. - As of March 31, 2026, Formula held
47.67% ,18.68% ,69.09% ,33.08% ,90.09% ,80% ,100% ,100% ,51% and100% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Matrix IT Ltd., SI Swan UK Topco Limited., Michpal Technologies Ltd., TSG IT Advanced Systems Ltd., Insync Staffing, Inc., Ofek Aerial Photography Ltd., ZAP Group Ltd., Shamrad Electronic (1997) Ltd., Hashahar Telecom And Electricity Ltd., and Formula Infrastructure Ltd., respectively. - Consolidated cash and cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits totaled approximately
$1.18 billion as of March 31, 2026, compared to$1.28 billion as of December 31, 2025. - Total equity as of March 31, 2026 was
$1.82 billion (representing50.1% of the total consolidated statements of financial position), compared to$1.78 billion (representing49.6% of the total consolidated statements of financial position) as of December 31, 2025. - The above comparative figures for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 reflect the reclassification of the results of Sapiens (of which Formula sold its controlling interest in December 2025), as discontinued operations, in accordance with IFRS 5. Similarly, the Company’s record-breaking consolidated results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 (as described above) are relative to the Company’s historical consolidated results in prior years that exclude Sapiens.
