(Oslo, 10 July 2026) StrongPoint ASA reported revenues of NOK 342 million (350)
in the second quarter and NOK 685 million (697) in the first half of 2026. The
EBITDA was NOK 5 million (7) in the quarter, including NOK 4 million in one-off
costs, and NOK 15 million (18) in the first half 2026.
"In our second quarter of 2026 we continued our flat topline from earlier in the
year with a 2% revenue decline. Recurring revenue declined at similar rates,
principally due to absences of earlier recurring revenue contribution from our
former Electronic Shelf Label (ESL) partner. Our international markets grew 15%
whilst our Nordic markets experienced a 22% decline in topline, driven by loss
of earlier revenue contributions from our former ESL partner. Gross profit was
down 7 MNOK, whereas EBITDA decline was cushioned somewhat from improved cost
base. EBITDA for the quarter was NOK 5 million, down 2 MNOK compared to same
quarter last year," says Jacob Tveraabak, Chief Executive Officer of
StrongPoint.
StrongPoint reported revenues of NOK 342 million (350) in the second quarter of
2026 and an EBITDA of NOK 5 million (7). The second quarter EBIT was NOK -6
million and EBT was NOK -11 million. The net profit after tax ended at NOK -8
million in the quarter. Cash flow from operating activities was NOK 49 million.
"Recurring revenue on a 12-month rolling basis declined 2% to 372 MNOK. The
decline is primarily due to our termination of the partnership agreement with
our former ESL partner, which came into full effect at the start of 2026. As
communicated earlier, we are focusing on building a recurring revenue base with
our new partner Vusion. Whereas it will take time to build a recurring revenue
stream with our new partner, we are confident that the potential is
significantly larger than ever before," Tveraabak continues.
"Whereas our topline appears to be relatively flat it is important to recognize
that we are growing our international business significantly and building a more
robust platform for growth. The recent break-through in the US market comes
after a period of investment, whereas profitable growth forward is expected. Our
path to sustained and robust profitability will have its ups and downs,
certainly in the short-term. As a consequence, we will continue to drive
internal efficiency and right-sizing our cost base," Tveraabak concludes.
StrongPoint will host an in-person and streamed presentation of the second
quarter and first half results at 07:00 CET followed by a Q&A session at 11:00
CET 10 July 2026. Questions can be submitted online during the Q&A or via email
