(Nedre Vats, 24 April 2025): AutoStore Holdings Ltd. (AutoStore, OSE:AUTO), a robot technology company that invented and continues to pioneer cube storage automation, today released its quarterly update for the quarter ending 31 March 2025.

Amid ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic volatility, AutoStore reported Q1 2025 revenue of USD 85.9 million and order intake of USD 141.2 million. As indicated in the Q4 2024 update, the quarter reflects a softer start to the year, influenced by the growing adoption of AutoStore-as-a-Service and broader uncertainty impacting global commerce.

Several AutoStore-as-a-Service projects were successfully delivered in the quarter. While these reduce near-term revenue, they build recurring revenue streams and improve long-term visibility—aligning well with customer demand for flexible, capexlite solutions. Adjusted for these projects, revenue secured in Q1 would total approximately USD 113 million.

Gross margin remained strong at 74.0%—marking the fifth consecutive quarter above 70%. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 24.5%, impacted by the lower revenue base.

"We are responding to the current conditions by revitalizing our commercial function with new leadership, accelerating growth through AutoStore-as-a-Service, and implementing cost-efficiency measures expected to reduce annualized operating expenditure by approximately USD 10 million", said CEO, Mats Hovland Vikse. "These actions are aimed at maintaining high profitability, strengthening our competitive position, and supporting long-term growth and resilience."
