Dataproces strengthens its position in Germany through strategic partnership and acquisition of activities

Dataproces has entered into an agreement with the German consulting firm Lexis & Rother Partnerschaftsgesellschaft regarding the acquisition of activities within school development planning, daycare planning and capacity planning for municipalities in Germany.

As part of the agreement, Dataproces acquires Lexis & Rother's subscription-based monitoring activities related to student forecasts and student development, including associated know-how, methodologies and established relationships across the German municipal sector. The activity generated Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) of EUR 14,800 in 2025. 

The purchase price amounts to EUR 37,000.

The agreement further includes that Lexis & Rother's founder and principal shareholder, Ulrike Lexis, will make her consulting expertise available to Dataproces for a minimum of three years. Over several decades, Ulrike Lexis has advised German municipalities within school development planning, daycare planning and capacity planning, building extensive expertise and relationships within the German municipal sector.

As part of the agreement, Dataproces will assume responsibility for delivering future projects within school development planning, daycare planning and capacity planning that were previously carried out by Lexis & Rother. In addition, a long-term collaboration has been established under which Lexis & Rother will refer relevant consulting and software opportunities to Dataproces. Revenue from these activities is not included in the stated ARR and therefore represents additional earnings potential.

CEO Kasper Lund Nødgaard comments:

"This transaction is a concrete example of the strategy we have communicated to the market. We aim to gradually expand our presence in Germany through smaller acquisitions and strategic partnerships that add expertise, networks and market access.

Through Lexis & Rother, we strengthen our professional platform within school development planning, daycare planning and capacity planning while gaining access to significant experience and specialised knowledge of the German municipal market.

We have previously demonstrated through, among others, the acquisition of BoelPlan and our collaboration with Index100 how strong professional environments can form the foundation for developing scalable software solutions. This investment is built on exactly the same thinking."

Ulrike Lexis comments:

"I am very happy – and so is my partner Jens Rother – that we can now enter into this partnership. The collaboration marks a new chapter for us and, in our view, will strengthen the value of the services we can provide to our customers. We expect to be able to offer both more and better solutions than before and thereby further develop our overall offering to municipalities."

The agreement is the first transaction completed as part of Dataproces' strategy to gradually expand its presence in the German market through smaller acquisitions and strategic partnerships.

The transaction is not expected to have any material impact on the Company's financial guidance for 2026/27.
