Comments from the CEO
After closing the first quarter of the year, it is with great pride that I can state that we have reached an extremely important milestone. This is the first quarter in which the company delivered a very positive profit before tax. It is a direct acknowledgement that the vigorous work in 2025 to transform the company has been successful.
Through our extensive restructuring, we have created "the new SDS" - a focused software company with a significantly reduced and optimized cost base. It is thanks to this new, stable foundation that we can now turn to profitability. In addition, order intake during the quarter has been good and stronger than it has been for a long time. We are now clearly seeing the results of our restructured sales organization which gradually began to take shape and give effect already at the end of last year. The company currently has a strong pipeline, and the primary focus of the entire team is now the intensive work of converting these business opportunities into real ones customer agreement.
We are leaving a challenging last year behind us, and are focusing on the future with an organization that is built to deliver healthier profitability. With the operational leverage we now have in place, it means that every new won deal directly strengthens our earnings. We continue to believe in a strong 2026 and can continue to confirm our previous full-year forecast, where the assessment is that profit before tax for the full year 2026 will land in the range of SEK 45 to 55 million.
Going forward, we have a better opportunity to start addressing our growth opportunities. This means that we are reviewing our product portfolio and our ability to continue to grow with the current customer base, but also to selectively expand geographically. In addition, we can increase the flexibility of our supply chain by: balancing internal resources with resources from partners when needed and of course it is a must to use AI in a smart way where it can make a difference.
Finally, I can state that a large part of the hard transition work has been completed and that it is now visible in our results, which is fine proof that we are delivering on what we said nine months ago. This does not mean that we are relieving the pressure to optimize our own organization, but it is also positive to be able to look ahead to growth opportunities and to build a company that generates shareholder value in the long term.
