Solteq provides preliminary information about its financial development to support financing negotiations. The figures are preliminary and have not been audited.
“After a weak first quarter, profitability returned to a positive trajectory. Comparable operating result (EBIT) amounted to EUR 0.7 million, an improvement of EUR 0.6 million relative to the comparison period. The business was systematically renewed, operations were streamlined, and the cost base was further adjusted. The Group’s revenue was EUR 1.1 million lower than in the comparison period, primarily due to the challenging market conditions affecting the Retail & Commerce segment. I am pleased with the improving profitability, although the pace of change has been slower than anticipated,” summarizes CEO Aarne Aktan of Solteq.
