Inside Information
Inside information: Gofore Plc’s Business Review April 2025: April net sales 15.5 million euros
Inside information: Gofore’s net sales were 15.5 (17.0) million euros in April 2025. The 12-month pro forma net sales were 181.8 million euros. The Group employed 1,470 (1,456) people at the end of April.
CEO Mikael Nylund:
”April net sales was 15.5 million euros. Our billing rate was at the same level as in March. April had one working day less than a year ago.
There is good activity in the sales pipeline, and we achieved wins in public sector tenders in April. We were selected as a partner for the Employment Fund with a very broad offering to improve their IT capabilities. We came first in all nine areas of this tender. The maximum value of the four-year frame agreement is 8.6 million euros. The services include, among others, architecture, data management, project management and development expertise, application development support, testing, cloud infrastructure and platform services, as well as end-user services and integrations.
We were also selected to implement the renewal of the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority's (STUK) information system as the sole supplier. This is an important win and one of the recent significant breakthroughs in the area of overall security, which is strategically important to us. This client relationship is new for Gofore. The agreement period is eight years, and its anticipated value, including optional years, is 5 million euros. It includes, among other things, architectural services for the service platform, services related to information system implementation, and later support, maintenance, and further development services.
The change negotiations planned for reducing personnel by 95 people and started on 14 April 2025, concluded on 7 May 2025. As a result of negotiations conducted in good spirit and expedited by mutual decision, we will reduce 80 jobs from administrative and expert roles, which will bring us estimated annual savings of 6.4 million euros. A separate announcement regarding the decisions was published this morning, 9 May 2025.
Now, we will collectively focus on everyday customer work and the implementation of our strategy. Our ability to invest in experts working with customers and to create exceptional customer value will be strengthened by the lighter administration and reduced free capacity.”
