Company Announcement no. 9/2025
14 May 2025
Wirtek's Board of Directors has today approved the interim report for Q1 2025. Below a summary - the detailed report is attached to this announcement.
CEO Michael Aaen comments:
"Q1 2025 came with its share of challenges. Revenue was 14% lower than Q1 last year, primarily due to the planned completion of a major Danish client engagement and delayed decisions from both existing and prospective clients. That said, we are seeing clear signs of progress: our international markets, particularly the US and The Netherlands. delivered growth, and our Energy business continues to thrive, now contributing 48% of total revenue and growing 67% year-over-year.
Earlier this year, we launched a change in strategic direction, establishing two focused divisions: Services and Solutions. The Services division continues to deliver value through our proven business model. The Solutions division is built on strong technology assets from our 2024 acquisitions and will require short-term investments before break-even can be reached.
Wirtek posted a negative quarterly EBITDA result for the first time in several years. We are taking proactive steps to balance investment with profitability and will implement cost-saving initiatives starting in Q2. Our goal is clear: return to positive EBITDA already by Q3 and deliver a profitable 2025 result, fully aligned with our 2025 guidance.
Despite short-term headwinds, our core business remains strong, and we are confident in our ability to return to profitable growth, a central pillar of Wirtek's strategic foundation."
