Insights

Corporate Finance Analyst

Revenue and operating income rose materially, while net income fell due to presentation of Sapiens as discontinued operations; dividend declared.

Formula Systems reported consolidated revenue of $696.6 million for the quarter, up 23.6% year‑over‑year, and operating income of $54.6 million, up 10.8%. The company now classifies Sapiens as discontinued operations following a signed sale at $43.50 per share and will retain an approximate 18% stake; the sale is expected to close in Q4 2025 or Q1 2026. Management approved a cash dividend of NIS 1.64 per share (about $0.50), payable on January 13, 2026, with record date December 30, 2025.

Key dependencies and risks include the successful closing and regulatory approvals for the Sapiens transaction, which materially change reported results by moving Sapiens into discontinued operations, and the translation of consolidated performance into distributable cash given the decline in consolidated cash from $563.2 million (Dec 31, 2024) to $432.1 million (Sep 30, 2025). The company remains well inside debenture covenant thresholds (equity attributable $777.7 million, net financial indebtedness to capitalization 6.34%, net debt/EBITDA 0.13), which supports capital return ability.

Watch the transaction close timing and any regulatory conditions in the next two fiscal quarters, the final accounting for the discontinued Sapiens operations at close, and liquidity impacts around the dividend payment on January 13, 2026. Monitor reported standalone cash and any disclosures about proceeds allocation after the Sapiens closing; these items will determine near‑term balance sheet flexibility and the sustainability of distributions.

Comments of Management

Commenting on the results, Guy Bernstein, CEO of Formula Systems, said: “We are very pleased to continue our strong momentum delivering solid and consistent results this quarter. Our performance underscores our sustained commitment to fostering durable growth and operational excellence across all major parts of our business lines. We take pride in our ongoing recognition as industry leaders, as we broaden and advance our capabilities in rapidly evolving technologies, including cloud, cybersecurity, digital solutions, data, DevOps and AI. These technologies enable us to provide significant value to our customers by supporting them in optimizing, accelerating and scaling their operations.”

“Matrix reported its best third quarter in history with record-breaking results recorded across all its key financial indices: revenues, gross profit, operating income, net income and EBITDA. Matrix revenues for the third quarter grew by approximately 15.7% year over year, when measured based on New Israeli Shekel, reaching an all-time third quarter high of NIS 1.64 billion (approximately $488.0 million). Operating income for the third quarter increased by 21.5%, year over year, when measured based on New Israeli Shekel, reaching an all-time third quarter high of NIS 131.5 million (approximately $39.1 million). Matrix's leading position, particularly in high-demand technologies and solutions, its broad range of technological services and solutions, its wide sectoral diversification, and its wide U.S. operations all enable Matrix to maintain its vitality, value, and leadership in the industry for its clients, partners, and investors. These strengths allow Matrix to continue demonstrating growth even during challenging political and security periods, including the mobilization of hundreds of Matrix employees to reserve duty.”

“Magic Software reported another strong quarter of growth and resilience, delivering record breaking third quarter and nine-months period performance in key financial indices, achieving all-time highs in revenues, gross profit and operating income, while continuing to strengthen its operational foundations and expand its strategic footprint in key markets, including the United States, where momentum remains robust. Magic Software results of operations demonstrate its strong position in the IT market along with the sustained demand for its digital, AI-driven and cloud transformation solutions, combined with disciplined execution across the organization. Magic Software revised its full-year 2025 revenue guidance, increasing the previous estimated range of $600 million to $610 million to a revised range of $610 million to $620 million. This updated guidance reflects Magic Software’s sustained operational momentum and favorable outlook for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, representing an anticipated annual revenue growth rate of approximately 10.4% to 12.2%. We believe in Magic Software’s ability to sustain momentum and drive long-term profitability, delivering lasting value to its shareholders.”

Matrix IT and Magic Software are now advancing into the final phase of completing the merger of Magic Software into Matrix IT, an undertaking that represents the largest merger ever executed in the Israeli IT sector, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including approval at the special general meetings of shareholders of each of the companies, both scheduled for December. This transaction constitutes for both companies a pivotal strategic milestone. The merger is expected to significantly enhance the combined entity’s scale, capabilities, and global positioning, creating one of the largest publicly traded IT services companies worldwide. Based on current share prices of both companies. the combined entity is projected to exceed a valuation of NIS 11 billion (approximately $3.4 billion) and will benefit from an expanded international footprint, with particular strengthening in its core target market in the United States.

“Michpal Technologies’ successfully concluded on September 21, 2025 its initial public offering of 4,910,000 ordinary shares on the Tel-Aviv stock exchange at an initial public offering price of NIS 61.1 per share (approximately $18.6 per share) raising approximately NIS 288.7 million, net of issuance expenses (approximately $87.3 million). Michpal Technologies together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Michpal Group”) engage in the fields of payroll, recruitment, time and attendance, pension administration, and human resources, as well as in the provision of software solutions for business and financial processes. As part of its activities, the Michpal Group develops and offers a broad suite of services, software products and proprietary technological solutions covering the full spectrum of human capital management within organizations. These offerings integrate cloud-based, artificial intelligence and automation technologies, alongside advanced solutions for the management of complex (partly digital) business processes across multiple use cases. Michpal Technologies concluded the third quarter of 2025 with revenues of NIS 49.8 million (approximately $14.8 million), growing 24.1% year over year when measured based on New Israeli Shekel.

“TSG concluded the third quarter of 2025 with strong results, demonstrating significant growth in revenue and profits. Revenues for the third quarter of 2025 increased by 30.4% year over year, when measured based on New Israeli Shekel, to NIS 109.8 million (approximately $32.6 million). Operating income for the third quarter, when measured based in New Israeli Shekel, increased by 50.9% year-over-year, when measured based on New Israeli Shekel, to NIS 10.1 million (approximately $3.0 million), compared to NIS 6.7 million (approximately $1.8 million) in the same period last year. TSG’s continued growth is driven by a combination of business combination and organic expansion, mainly in its defense-sector activities, including, among other things, the initial delivery of licenses to the United States Army pursuant to a strategic agreement with an American company. Concurrently, TSG is experiencing growing demand from local municipalities and public-sector entities.”
