Germany’s TeamViewer forecasts up to 3% revenue growth for 2026
Germany’s TeamViewer has forecast a revenue increase of up to 3% in 2026, citing market volatility as a factor for a cautious outlook.
The software company reported a pro-forma revenue of 194.6 million euros (US$231.63 million) in Q4. Its adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was 87 million euros (US$103.55 million), representing a 45% margin.
CEO Oliver Steil expressed confidence in returning to mid- to high-single-digit revenue growth in the medium term while maintaining profitability.
TeamViewer is now focusing on expanding offerings for large enterprises and small to medium-sized businesses.

🧠 Food for thought
Implications, context, and why it matters.
A shaky acquisition and a plan shift drive the cautious forecast
- TeamViewer’s guarded 2026 view follows a cut to full-year 2025 Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) guidance, with management lowering it by about €35 million to €40 million due to execution problems 1.
- 1E, acquired in January 2025, has weighed on results. Its standalone ARR fell 2% in constant currency year over year in Q3 2025, which management tied to customer churn, slower deal closes, and after-the-merger disruption including employee exits 2.
- TeamViewer also dropped short-term money-making moves for free users and small and medium-sized business (SMB) subscribers, including free-to-paid and price-up campaigns. The company said the change aims to cut churn and lift usage, while keeping SMB ARR growth near 0% in constant currency 2.
Profitability holds while growth slows in a mature product line
- The core business stays lucrative, with a 46% pro forma adjusted EBITDA margin in the third quarter 2.
- Even so, expansion has slowed. SMB ARR slid 1% year over year, or 0% in constant currency, to €526.3 million in Q3 2025 3.
- For established software firms, using profits from a steady product to buy growth can backfire when integration problems hurt the acquired business 1.
