Aptitude's R&D activities focus on the continual investment in the development of new and enhanced features within its product suite. It engages in a consistent process of evaluating development costs to determine if they meet the criteria for capitalization, considering factors such as future economic benefits, technical feasibility, and the availability of resources. The company strives to apply these judgements consistently year over year, ensuring that management's intentions and the likelihood of success are thoroughly assessed before proceeding with product development. Aptitude aims to address the complexities associated with software development and the competitive nature of its market by recognizing that technical feasibility is only achieved once a product is deployed in a live client environment. Consequently, development costs are not capitalized, and any expenses incurred after the general release of software or for enhancements to existing products are recognized as research and development expenses in the income statement. This approach allows the company to maintain a clear financial picture while focusing on delivering reliable and effective solutions to its clients. In FY2025, the company incurred expenses of EUR13.2 million on R&D, which as a percentage stood at 20.3%.
