This structure made company valuations highly dependent on sales cycles and exposed vendors to annual churn risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The financial profile of software companies has changed with the advent of Software as a Service (SaaS) models. SaaS companies established dependable, long-term income streams known as Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) by substituting recurring subscriptions based on low churn for upfront licensing. Instead of using conventional EBITDA or EBIT measures, investors are increasingly valuing SaaS companies at high EV\/ARR multiples (typically 3x to 7x). However, the introduction of the EU Data Act (2025) has introduced new challenges to this model.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-light-background-color has-background\"><strong>The EU Data Act is built on clear principles and regulatory objectives<\/strong>:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:18%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clairfield.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/TMT-600x900-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-70697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clairfield.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/TMT-600x900-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.clairfield.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/TMT-600x900-1-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:82%\">\n<p>The EU Data Act forms part of the European Commission\u2019s broader digital strategy.

The regulation strengthened consumers\u2019 rights by enforcing renewal notices and simplified contract termination. According to the 2018 Observatoire des r\u00e9siliations by R\u00e9silier.com, cancellation rates under the <em>Loi Chatel<\/em> framework reached 11 % in the combined auto and home insurance segment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clairfield.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/EU-flag-vertical.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-70712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clairfield.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/EU-flag-vertical.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.clairfield.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/EU-flag-vertical-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:80%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Lessons from the European telecom sector<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The European telecom market provides another illustration. Following recommendations issued by BEREC&rsquo;s (Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications), which were adopted by most EU countries, switching frictions were reduced. These included faster number portability (\u2264 5 days), streamlined termination procedures, the \u00ab\u00a0gaining provider-led\u00a0\u00bb migration process, and more transparent contract information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BEREC\u2019s findings show churn rates tend to rise in markets where these controls are implemented, particularly where portability deadlines are shortened. Switching to fast portability is usually associated with a short-term churn increase of about 13.6%. These examples above highlight how regulatory interventions designed to enhance consumer freedom can directly affect revenue visibility and customer lifetime value in subscription-based models.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How SaaS financial stability is affected by churn and regulatory asymmetry<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Should SaaS players be exposed to such an increase in churn, Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) would be significantly affected by lower client retention and increased volatility. This would lead to weakened unit economics for specific customer cohorts and undermine past higher valuations that relied on strong retention. The Data Act may also introduce structural asymmetry: EU-based SaaS providers are subject to its termination and portability requirements, while some non-EU competitors may operate on less stringent constraints. Some providers would benefit from such a shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Divergent attrition patterns, reduced ARR visibility for EU-based vendors, and eventually different value multiples across markets could result from this regulatory imbalance. Investors would revise their valuation models to take into account new regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the regulation introduces challenges, it also opens new strategic opportunities for adaptable SaaS providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Interoperability as a competitive advantage<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>By proactively enabling seamless data portability and cross-platform integration, SaaS providers can transform compliance into a genuine competitive edge. When selecting providers, customers and investors will increasingly value transparency and compatibility across systems. As contractual barriers lose significance, long-term retention will depend less on legal or technical lock-ins and more on product quality, customer service and overall user experience. From an investment standpoint, due diligence will shift focus from contract length and ARR growth toward data openness, net revenue retention stability, and compliance maturity. In this way, openness and interoperability will become a key proxy for long-term resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EU Data Act introduces both a structural rebalancing and a regulatory shock to the SaaS industry. It disrupts client-lock-in-based business models and redefines how value is generated and maintained by encouraging transparency and interoperability. For investors and management teams, this marks the emergence of a new valuation paradigm in which enterprise value will increasingly depend on three pillars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Resilience and recurrence of revenues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Openness and interoperability platforms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adaptability and agility of business models<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The long-term winners of the post-Data Act period are those who adopt this new strategy early on and view interoperability as a strategic advantage rather than a limitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:15%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clairfield.com\/team_member\/bertrand-hermez\/?origin=\/?s=hermez\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clairfield.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/FR-Hermez-A.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clairfield.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/FR-Hermez-A.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.clairfield.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/FR-Hermez-A-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.clairfield.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/FR-Hermez-A-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<p>By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clairfield.com\/team_member\/bertrand-hermez\/?origin=\/?s=hermez\">Bertrand Hermez<\/a>, head of Clairfield\u2019s tech, software &amp; digital practice and managing partner at Clairfield in France.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At a glance Software business models have radically changed over the past two decades.
