Revenue Growth and Geographic Performance:
- Magic Software Enterprises reported $151.6 million in revenue for Q2 2025, marking a quarterly all-time record and a 11.3% increase from the previous year.

Operational Efficiency and Margins:
- The company's non-GAAP gross margin was 28.7%, improved by 20 basis points sequentially, despite the impact of fewer billable days due to public holidays.

AI Integration and Cloud Adoption:
- Magic Software Enterprises manages over 270 AI projects across various industries, achieving a remarkable 70% success rate.
- The increased adoption of AI and cloud solutions by customers, both new and legacy, has significantly contributed to the company's growth in this area.

Dividend and Financial Health:
- The company declared a semiannual cash dividend amounting to $0.296 per share, reflecting 75% of its distributable profit for the first half of 2025.
- This decision was supported by the company's strong financial health, with a decrease in financial debt to $70 million and cash and cash equivalents of $90 million.
