IT consultant Aixia reports a nearly halved revenue and significantly lower operating profit in the first quarter compared with the same period last year. Revenue fell 48.0 percent to SEK 44.7 million (85.9). It is worth noting that last year included a one-off transaction of SEK 44 million. "Adjusted for this one-off transaction, the underlying business has actually grown," comments CEO Mattias Bergkvist.EBITDA amounted to SEK 3.0 million (4.7), with an EBITDA margin of 6.7 percent (5.5). Operating profit came in at SEK 0.5 million (3.0), with an operating margin of 1.1 percent (3.5). Profit before tax was SEK 0.1 million (2.7). Profit after tax was SEK 0.1 million (2.2), and per share SEK 0.05 (1.38)."At first glance this may seem modest, but in context it is of great significance. We have created a more cost-efficient organization, improved internal processes and strengthened the gross margin in the underlying business," says Bergkvist.Aixia, SEK mQ1-2026Q1-2025ChangeNet sales44.785.9-48.0%EBITDA3.04.7-36.2%EBITDA margin6.7%5.5%Operating profit0.53.0-83.3%Operating margin1.1%3.5%Profit before tax0.12.7-96.3%Net profit0.12.2-95.5%Earnings per share, SEK0.051.38-96.4%
