Upgraded FY26 PBT growth guidance to 18%\u201320%, up from the previous 13%\u201317% range ARR growth guidance lifted to 16%\u201318% Significant investment of $8\u2013$9 million in AI Showcase events for H1 FY26 First-half FY26 PBT growth expected in the high single digits due to phasing of investments Retirement of Non-executive Director Clifford Rosenberg after 7 years of service  What else do investors need to know? <\/p>\n<p>TechnologyOne credited its upgraded outlook to the successful momentum of its SaaS+ products and forthcoming AI-driven innovations. The company said customer demand remains strong in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, giving management confidence to aim for the top end of its new guidance range.<\/p>\n<p>A key focus this half has been strategic investment in AI product launches, expected to provide future commercial opportunities but resulting in a slower first-half profit growth. Management stated that growth will be back-weighted, with a strong second half anticipated.<\/p>\n<p> What did TechnologyOne management say? <\/p>\n<p>Ed Chung, CEO and Managing Director, said:<\/p>\n<p>SaaS+ and our products turbocharged through AI are our not so secret weapons, giving us the confidence to increase PBT growth to 18% to 20%, upgraded from our prior range of 13% to 17%, as well as guiding to ARR growth of 16% to 18%. We are targeting the top end of the guidance range for both PBT and ARR.<\/p>\n<p> What&#8217;s next for TechnologyOne? <\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, TechnologyOne expects to maintain its disciplined growth rhythm as it continues transitioning from a SaaS business to its next-generation SaaS+ model. Management says recent investments in AI and international expansion are setting up the business for sustained profit and revenue growth.<\/p>\n<p>Investors can expect more updates on product launches and new customer wins in FY26, as the company looks to capitalise on rising demand for cloud-based ERP solutions.<\/p>\n<p> TechnologyOne share price snapshot <\/p>\n<p>Over the past 12 months, TechnologyOne shares have declined 33%, trailing the S&amp;P\/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) which has risen 6% over the same period.<\/p>\n<p class=\"original-source\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com.au\/tickers\/asx-tne\/announcements\/2026-02-18\/2a1654157\/guidance-upgrade-ai-driving-tnes-confidence-in-the-future\/\" target=\"_BLANK\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">View Original Announcement<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Image source: Getty Images The TechnologyOne Ltd (ASX: TNE) share price is in focus today after Australia&#8217;s largest&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":487535,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[256,254,255,74948,64,63,105],"class_list":["post-487534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-assisted","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487534","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=487534"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487534\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/487535"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=487534"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=487534"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=487534"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
