Sidetrade released its first-half 2026 revenue update, pointing to a particularly strong second quarter marked by an all-time high in bookings. The company used the update to underline momentum in sales activity during Q2 and to frame the first half of the year around expanding recurring business.
A key metric in the announcement was new annual recurring revenue, which rose 168% to €3.11 million. That increase suggests a sharp acceleration in newly signed recurring contracts, an important measure for software and subscription-based businesses because it indicates future revenue visibility.
Sidetrade also highlighted the rollout of its AI-native products as an early commercial success. The company said it signed €1.02 million in ARR tied to those offerings, representing 33% of the total new ARR reported for the period. That mix shows AI-led products already making a meaningful contribution to fresh business.
Overall, the update presents Sidetrade's first half of 2026 as a period shaped by record Q2 bookings, fast ARR expansion and solid early traction for its AI-native portfolio. While the brief release focuses on these headline indicators, they point to strong demand trends in the company's recurring revenue base.
