System1 Q3 Platform Revenue Rebounds as New Clients Offset Consultancy Weakness

System1 ( (GB:SYS1) ) has provided an update.

System1 Group PLC reported that platform revenue in the third quarter to 31 December 2025 recovered versus the first half, matching the prior year’s record Q3 and rising 1% in constant currency, driven by a rebound in ad-testing demand from major UK and European clients and continued momentum in its Innovation Platform. However, weakness in non-platform consultancy work, which fell £0.4m year-on-year in Q3, led to a 4% decline in total reported Group revenue for the quarter and a 6% decline year-to-date, although revenue from new client wins rose 10% in the first nine months, contributing £7.4m of £25.7m platform revenue and signalling a growing customer base and longer-term growth opportunities. The company ended December with £8.3m of net cash after paying a £1.4m dividend and reaffirmed its full-year 2026 guidance for revenue broadly in line with the prior year and improved adjusted profitability, indicating management’s confidence that the Q3 recovery and new client momentum will support performance despite ongoing macroeconomic and consultancy headwinds.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:SYS1) stock is a Hold with a £223.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on System1 stock, see the GB:SYS1 Stock Forecast page.
