Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Q1 2026 earnings summary29 Apr, 2026
Executive summary
Net sales for Q1 2026 were EUR 34.0m (SEK 34 million), down 5.3% year-over-year but up 2.6% in constant currency, with EBITA of EUR 4.6m and margin improving to 13.4% from 10.3% due to lower operating expenses.
Returned to constant currency growth for the first time in two years, driven by sequential improvement in Cint Exchange and acceleration in Measurement.
Maintained profitability through strong cost control and operational enhancements, resulting in robust operating cash flow and a solid balance sheet.
Migration to the new Cint Exchange platform reached feature parity, enabling full customer transition in 2026.
Launched new measurement product, Outcomes, in closed beta, and introduced AI-Moderated Interviews (AIMI) and advanced respondent vetting for data quality.
Financial highlights
Net sales: EUR 34.0m (SEK 34 million); gross profit: EUR 29.4m; gross margin: 86.4%; EBITA: EUR 4.6m (13.4% margin); operating cash flow: EUR 7.8m; net cash position: EUR 10.2m.
EBITA margin improved despite lower sales, reflecting strong cost control.
Amortization dropped to SEK 3.8 million from SEK 7.4 million due to prior impairments.
Net working capital at EUR 36.0m, the lowest since H1 2024, driven by a reduction in accounts receivable.
Leverage ratio (Net debt/EBITDA) at -0.2x, well below the 2.5x target.
Outlook and guidance
Medium-term targets reaffirmed: organic growth above 10%, EBITA margin of 25%, and net debt/EBITDA below 2.5x, but timeline for midterm targets likely extended by a year due to increased investment needs, especially in AI.
Migration to the new platform expected to complete in 2026, with R&D focus shifting from platform build to innovation.
No annual dividends planned; cash flows to be reinvested in growth initiatives.
Committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2045 and on track for CSRD sustainability reporting compliance.
No specific growth guidance for Media Measurement, but momentum expected to continue with new product launches.
