In July–September, we continued to progress in the challenging IT services market. New sales in all of Siili's service areas slowed down as a result of the changed market situation. Revenue in the third quarter was at the same level the year earlier. Our growth slowed down, which is in addition to the market change, partly explained by the strong comparison period and the lower number of working days than in the comparison period. Our EBITA decreased to EUR 1.3 million, corresponding to 4.7% of revenue.
The slowdown in revenue growth, increased price competition and wage inflation challenged our growth and profitability during the period both in Finland and internationally. We have responded actively to the situation and initiated several adaptation and efficiency measures to strengthen our competitiveness. We implement changes, responsibly striving to maintain the highest quality in our operations and ensure customer satisfaction. Our goal is to secure our long-term position as a versatile leader in the technology sector.
The highlights of the period include progress among public sector customers in line with our strategy. In July, we further solidified our position in this key market when the National Land Survey of Finland chose us as their partner for expert services in the development and maintenance of information systems. The subareas of this partnership have an estimated total value of EUR 17 million over the four-year agreement period.
Our core strength lies in designing, developing, and maintaining extensive and demanding digital services for our clients. This expertise was duly recognized when the project we undertook with Fintraffic, called 'Nemo,' received the prestigious Service Design Award at a ceremony in Berlin – one of the highest honors in the service design industry. Once completed, Nemo is set to become a nationally centralized Single Window service for maritime traffic declarations.
We estimate that uncertainties in the operating environment will not materially decrease towards the end of the year. We do our best to adapt to the market situation while looking firmly to the future. We hold on to our strengths: our excellent delivery capability and good customer satisfaction. The private and public sectors are facing an increasing need to enhance their datacentric competitiveness and efficiency, especially as the pace of digitalisation and technological advancement accelerates. Given these trends, we foresee a sustained and robust demand for the expertise of Siili's team in the future.
Thank you to all Siilis for the good contribution and fortitude in challenging conditions in the third quarter!
