Alexis Scorer, Partner at GP Bullhound<\/strong>, commented: “This year\u2019s survey demonstrates encouraging progress across the European SaaS sector, with companies displaying continued improvements in gross margins, operational efficiency, and overall profitability. Nearly half of companies surveyed are now EBITDA positive, highlighting the continued emphasis on capital efficient growth. Despite subdued fundraising volumes, an increase in larger private placements and increasing M&A activity underscores the sector\u2019s adaptability and resilience. With Public market SaaS valuations now above the three-year average and a renewed focus on profitable growth, the industry is well-positioned to benefit from an improving Macroeconomic environment in 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
