Q2 2025 earnings summary30 Jul, 2025

Executive summary

  • Operational EBIT increased, mainly driven by growth and efficiency in the Learning segment, while Media Finland faced lower advertising sales, especially in TV, and weaker events.

  • Net sales remained stable at EUR 560.9 million for H1 2025, as Learning growth offset declines in Media Finland.

  • Free cash flow improved due to higher operational earnings and lower financial items, though it remained negative due to seasonal patterns in Learning.

  • Net debt/Adj. EBITDA improved to 2.5, below the long-term target of 3.0, reflecting continued deleveraging.

  • Strategic focus remains on profitability, free cash flow, and balance sheet strength, with growth expected from curriculum renewals and digital transformation.

  • H1 2025 net sales: EUR 560.9 million (0% year-over-year); operational EBIT excl. PPA: EUR 43.3 million (+16%).

  • Q2 2025 operational EBIT excl. PPA: EUR 62.0 million (+2%); margin 18.3% (17.8%).

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
