Key figures

* The comparative information for 1-3/2024 has been adjusted; deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented on a net basis. In the comparison period they were presented on a gross basis.

CEO Aarne Aktan: Profitability Improvement Continued.

The first quarter was moderate. While revenue declined, profitability continued to improve. This was the fifth consecutive quarter in which a comparable operating result improved year-on-year and the fourth in a row with a positive operating result. Performance was in line with our expectations, and the improved profitability reflects the impact of the efficiency and cost-saving measures in 2024.

The Group's comparable revenue for the review period was EUR 12.1 million, a decrease of EUR 0.9 million relative to the comparison period. The comparable operating result amounted to EUR 0.1 million, marking an improvement of EUR 0.4 million year-on-year. This was a significant achievement in a market characterized by cautious customer demand, postponed investment decisions, and global economic turmoil.

The comparable revenue for the Retail & Commerce segment was EUR 9.2 million, a decrease of EUR 0.7 million from the comparison period. However, due to successful efficiency and cost-saving initiatives, the segment's comparable operating result reached EUR 0.7 million, increasing by EUR 0.4 million year-on-year.

In the Utilities segment, revenue totaled EUR 2.9 million, down by EUR 0.3 million from the comparison period. The decline in revenue was primarily driven by weak demand in the consulting business. On the other hand, the share of SaaS-based fees in the software business increased, and recurring services accounted for over 50% of the segment's revenue. The segment's comparable operating result was EUR -0.6 million, an improvement of EUR 48 thousand year-on-year. The segment's performance is expected to improve over the remainder of the year.

During the review period, the company cancelled notes, repurchased between 2023 and 2025, worth EUR 4.3 million. These cancellations strengthen the company's financial position and reduce interest expenses. Following the cancellations, the outstanding amount of the bond is EUR 18.7 million.

Despite the challenging operating environment and global economic conditions, the outlook for the Retail & Commerce segment remains moderate. The market outlook for the Utilities segment is stable, with the Nordic region offering growth opportunities for both software and expert services businesses. Overall, we remain confident in our ability to consistently improve results during the current financial year.

Profit Guidance 2025

Comparable revenue will decrease slightly, while the comparable operating result will improve significantly. Excluding the divested healthcare software solutions business, comparable revenue was EUR 48,818 thousand in the financial year 2024. Comparable operating result for the financial year 2024 was EUR 710 thousand.

Financial reporting

The Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and valuation principles of IFRS standards and using IAS 34 and the same accounting policies as the Financial Statements 2024. The new IFRS standards, taken into use on January 1, 2025, do not have a significant impact on the Group's Interim Report. The information presented in the Interim Report has not been audited.

Key figures

* The comparative information has been adjusted; deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented on a net basis. In the comparison period they were presented on a gross basis.

CEO Aarne Aktan: The last quarter saw a significant EUR 1.4 million profit improvement despite a decline in revenue

The fourth quarter capped a year of consistent result improvements throughout 2024. During the fourth quarter, the comparable operating result was EUR 0.3 million, which was EUR 1.4 million better than in the comparison period. The improvement in profitability, driven by successful cost management, was significant, particularly considering the revenue decrease of EUR 1.8 million from the comparison period. Both segments diminished in revenue, generating a comparable revenue of EUR 12.5 million for the company. During the review period, the market situation was tougher than estimated, leading to a profit warning in October 2024 and a lowering of the profit guidance on comparable revenue for the fiscal year.

In Retail & Commerce, the comparable revenue, EUR 9.7 million, decreased by 7.1 percent relative to comparison period. The revenue development was affected by subdued customer demand and delays in several key customer acquisition opportunities. The efficiency measures implemented in the second and third quarters drove a comparable operating profit of EUR 1.0 million, an improvement of EUR 1.2 million, establishing the segment as the driving force behind the company's improvement in results for the review period.

In Utilities, the comparable revenue was EUR 2.8 million, down by 27.0 percent relative to the comparison period. The disappointing revenue development was caused by delays in customer deliveries in the software business and weak customer demand in the consulting business. The comparable operating result was EUR -0.7 million, which improved by 15.7 percent relative to the comparison period. 

During the review period, Danish healthcare software solutions, a part of the Retail & Commerce segment, were sold. The transaction was completed at the end of December 2024, and the net debt-free purchase price of the business was EUR 4.0 million. The transaction was a logical continuum to enhance the company's focus on selected solutions and expert services in the energy sector, retail industry, and e-commerce. Furthermore, the transaction enables the company to decrease indebtedness and financing costs.  

Overall, the year 2024 was a good one for Solteq. The company's comparable operating result turned positive and improved by more than EUR 5 million. I am very pleased with this performance. We aim to continue improving our results this year, and we are well-positioned to achieve that.

The market outlook for both segments is expected to be somewhat difficult. However, the markets are expected to stabilize gradually during the year, and the company is confident in its ability to consistently improve results.

Profit Guidance 2025

Comparable revenue will decrease slightly, while the comparable operating result will improve significantly. Excluding the divested healthcare software solutions business, comparable revenue was EUR 48,818 thousand in the financial year 2024. Comparable operating result for the financial year 2024 was EUR 710 thousand.
