Highlights of January – March 2025 ("first quarter")
1 Annual recurring revenue (ARR) of cloud products is calculated by multiplying monthly recurring revenue of last month of quarter by twelve. Monthly recurring revenue includes recognized revenue within the month excluding non-recurring revenue and adjustments for one-off items
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) for Elements Cloud products and services will grow by 10-20% from the end of 2024. At the end of 2024, Elements Cloud ARR was EUR 83.3 million.
Elements Company segment's Adjusted EBITDA will be 3-7% of revenue.
Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) for Cloud Protection for Salesforce (CPSF) will grow by 20-35% from the end of 2024. At the end of 2024, CPSF ARR was EUR 12.8 million.
Cyber security consulting business will be divested in 2025. Elements company and CPSF will have their own guidance going forward. Both are recurring, subscriptionbased businesses, which is reflected in the new guidance.
Over the next three years (2025-2027), WithSecure will become a "Rule of 30+" company.
The components of the target are
WithSecure is targeting to reach a sum of the components that exceeds 30.
Figures in this release are unaudited. Figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period in the previous year, unless otherwise stated. Percentages and figures presented may include rounding differences and might therefore not add up precisely to the totals presented.

First quarter of 2025 was marked by many unusual events impacting the world politics and economy. Despite the turbulence, both of WithSecure's businesses remained on the growth track. Elements Cloud Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) increased by 8% to EUR 86.6 million (EUR 80.5 million), and the Elements Cloud revenue grew by 6% to EUR 21.9 million (EUR 20.6 million). Cloud Protection for Salesforce, reported as a separate segment from the Elements, had a 70% ARR growth to EUR 13.9 million (EUR 8.2 million).
In a world where cyber security is not just a technical challenge but also a geopolitical one, we believe that how and where technology is built truly matters. Our strategy is to become a flagship for European cyber security, and we are positioning ourselves at the forefront of this transformation. Given the geopolitical situation, we have seen significant interest in a European alternative among our partners and customers. We signed an agreement in the beginning of the second quarter to divest our Malaysian entity to a partner, who will become WithSecure's preferred distributor in the region. Once this transaction is complete, all WithSecure's products and services will be developed and delivered from Europe. We continue to develop our partner channel, and signed several new key partner agreements during the first quarter.
Inside Elements Cloud, the ARR for Elements Cloud software and co-security services increased by 14% to EUR 65.7 million (EUR 57.8 million). The growth is driven by both new customers and the expansion of existing customers. Especially the new portfolio items Exposure Management and Elements MDR, launched in May 2024, have already begun to contribute to the growth. The Managed services ARR declined by 8% to EUR 20.9 million (EUR 22.7 million). The ARR decline is mostly related to customers in the UK.
Elements Company Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter was EUR 0.9 million (EUR 0.7 million, restated figure). Operative cash flow was EUR -2.6 million (EUR -2.4 million). Cash flow was impacted by the previous year's bonus payments, as well as the additional costs related to divestments.
Cloud Protection for Salesforce (CPSF) continued with a strong performance and achieved a 70% growth of ARR, to EUR 13.9 million (EUR 8.2 million). The growth was driven by many new enterprise customer logos, as well as smaller Salesforce users who want to protect their Salesforce Cloud from vulnerabilities caused by external content uploads. The CPSF segment became profitable for the
first time, with EUR 0.4 million Adjusted EBITDA (EUR -0.4 million). We continue to develop CPSF as an independent business inside WithSecure, while keeping the strategic review options open.
The divestment of our Cyber security consulting business, announced on 23 January 2025, is progressing as planned. The carve-out process is ongoing in collaboration with the buyer, and the target to close the transaction during the second quarter of 2025 remains valid.

Revenue of WithSecure Group increased by 4% to EUR 30.1 million (EUR 28.8 million).
The revenue is analyzed in the segment reporting section. Continued operations revenue is the Elements Company and CPSF segment revenue. Cyber security consulting revenue is disclosed as Discontinued operations.
Gross margin of WithSecure Group improved to 81.0 % of revenue (79.4 %). Cost of revenue impacting Gross margin is the cost of using cloud platforms, royalties to external sources of cyber security data, and salary cost of personnel directly related to services. Gross margin improvement relates to continuous efforts on efficiency.
Operating expenses (excluding depreciation, amortization and impairment and items impacting comparability) were EUR 23.1 million (EUR 23.2 million). The increase in operating expenses is a result of normal salary inflation, offset by continuous cost efficiency measures. Depreciation and amortization were EUR 2.1 million (EUR 2.2 million), amortization of PPA was EUR 0.5 million (EUR 0.6 million).
Adjusted EBITDA of Continued operations was EUR 1.3 million (EUR 0.2 million). Improvement is a result of revenue growth and controlled increase of operating expenses.
Items affecting comparability (IAC) of EBITDA were EUR -0.2 million (EUR +0.1 million). Most of the IAC were related to restructuring activities, and some to the expenses related to ongoing divestments.
Cash flow from operating activities before financial items and taxes was EUR -2.6 million (EUR -2.4 million). Cash flow was driven by negative operative result and previous year's bonus payments as well as additional costs related to divestments.
Cash flow from investments EUR -0.6 million (EUR -0.6 million) is related to investments in intangible and tangible assets. Investments in intangible and tangible assets are mostly related ongoing IT projects.
Cash flow from financing activities EUR -0.8 million (EUR -1.3 million) related to repayments of lease liabilities EUR -0.6 million (EUR -1.3 million) and repurchase of own shares EUR -0.2 million. The decrease in repayments of lease liabilities is mainly due to the rent free periods related to new office in Helsinki.
Total change in cash was EUR -4.4 million (EUR -4.1 million), after deducting the payments of lease liabilities.
Discontinued operations revenue was EUR 6.5 million (EUR 7.4 million). Discontinued operations corresponds with the Cyber security consulting business, expected to be divested during second quarter of 2025. Difference to the former Cyber security consulting segment is caused by minor businesses excluded from or included to the divestment agreement, as well as the removal of the allocations of cost related to group functions. Comparative figures of 2024 for segments have been restated to ensure comparability.

Gross margin of CPSF segment was 82.5% of revenue (82.9%). Cost of revenue impacting Gross margin is the cost of using cloud platforms. Adjusted EBITDA of CPSF was EUR 0.4 million (EUR -0.4 million). The improvement from previous year is mainly driven by the revenue growth.
The global cybersecurity market is a rapidly evolving industry driven by increasing digitalization, growing cyber threats and the widespread adoption of cloudbased technologies. In 2024, the market experienced increasing security demands across industry verticals and sectors. Factors driving market expansion were among other things rising data breaches due to identity-based attacks, ransomware, increasing regulatory requirements and increasing adoption of AI. The global geopolitical tensions are also creating increased activity and threats for private and public organizations.
Constantly evolving attack vectors require continuous innovation in organization of all sizes. Overall economic uncertainty and IT budget constraints have slowed down the adoption of the latest cyber security technologies, especially among small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs). At the same time thirdparty breaches across the supply chain and a global shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals remain as pressing issues.
Globally organizations are investing in cyber defenses to combat growing threat levels in a digitized economy. North America holds the largest market share due to significant investments in cybersecurity infrastructure whereas in Europe the increased awareness of regulatory requirements has been contributing to steady growth.
Recent geopolitical developments have increased the importance of European alternatives, of software vendors in particular. This development supports the WithSecure strategy, focusing on developing and delivering the products and services fully from
Europe. According to the current view, possible increases in customs tariffs will not directly affect WithSecure business.
AI capabilities have been increasingly introduced to improve productivity and reduce threat detection and response times. Stolen or compromised credentials remain the most prevalent attack vector that is addressed by emerging Identity Security solutions. Cloud Security continues as a highgrowth segment as companies seek to protect their modern IT environments and cloud-based services. Organizations have started to recognize the need of moving their focus from reactive to proactive security approach that is fueling the demand for emerging exposure management solutions. There is also increasing demand for securing IoT devices and operational technology against vulnerabilities and cyberattacks. Managed security services will continue to address the skills and resource shortages.
The cybersecurity market is poised for sustained growth as organizations prioritize cyber resilience and compliance. With advancements in AI, cloud-native security, and exposure management, the industry is set to address increasingly complex threats while capturing new opportunities in emerging sectors.
At the end of the quarter, WithSecure had 964 employees (996). Of this, 731 (763) are employees of the Continuing operations, and 233 (233) are employees of the Discontinued operations.

WithSecure operations are subject to risks and uncertainties that can impact the business performance, profitability, financial position, market share, reputation, share price or the achievement of its short-term and long-term objectives. These risks and uncertainties described here should not be considered as an exhaustive list.
The objective of WithSecure risk management is to identify various risks that could have an impact on the business, and to implement appropriate measures to mitigate the risks. In assessing the risks, WithSecure considers both the probability and the potential impact of each risk, as well as the resources required to manage and mitigate the risk. Ensuring business continuity in all situations is an essential part of the risk management. WithSecure risk management principles and process are described in the Corporate Governance Statement. The sustainability-related risks and uncertainties have been discussed in the Sustainability Report.
The cyber security market is scattered to many providers of software and services. The large market participants are investing heavily in the development of embedded security and winning market share. Market consolidation is considered a likely development. WithSecure must succeed in its chosen strategy as well as in finding the right acquisition targets, and in integrating the acquired companies into its operations. As one of the smaller players in the market, the company must always keep itself relevant to the
customers, by ensuring both up to date technology and good quality, timely services. Additionally, WithSecure must address brand recognition among the target audience to effectively differentiate itself from competition
Geopolitical uncertainties, such as the war in Ukraine, have significantly increased the risk of unexpected disruptions of the world economy and security stability. Likelihood of acts of terror impacting societal infrastructures has increased with this development. Any such events could also impact WithSecure's ability to run its business. The increasing activity of nation-state cyber criminals will continue to impose business interruptions also during 2025.
For corporate responsibility reasons, WithSecure is not conducting business with any Russian or Belarusian parties, even in cases where it would be permitted by the export control regulations.
WithSecure operates in different countries and is therefore exposed to country risks of each location. Changing circumstances and regulation in different operating countries is exposing WithSecure to compliance risks, such as unfavorable tax treatment or export controls.
As part of the sustainability materiality analysis, WithSecure has assessed the impact of the environmental risks, especially climate change, on its business. The company is a provider of software and
services, and as such not significantly impacted by the environmental risks. Business continuity planning covers scenarios related to unavailability of resources due to natural disasters or other hazards, including potential supply chain disruptions.
Unavailability of skilled personnel may result in inability of providing high-quality products and services to customers. Competition for skilled personnel is increasing and there is structural undersupply of talent in the cyber security industry. WithSecure is continuously developing and adopting new ways of recruitment, building its own talent and knowledge pools, and investing in training and development of personnel to attract and retain talent.
WithSecure's cyber security products and services market model is very dependent on a functioning partner channel and network. It is critical for WithSecure to ensure it has the right partners in the regions and that the partners receive the needed support, and that WithSecure's cyber security offering is made available accordingly to the local demand. Not being able to serve the needs of the partners needs could result to negative impact on WithSecure's business performance.
WithSecure operates in a highly competitive market. Cybercrime is growing fast and becoming more innovative and professional. Large vendors make significant investments in their development and marketing activities, while new vendors are emerging in the market, and the operating system manufacturers are increasing their focus on built-in security features. WithSecure must succeed in maintaining in-depth understanding of cyber security threat landscape, following the hacker techniques and technologies, as well as continuing to innovate in defensive technologies.
Investments in new technologies and products come with the risk of not meeting the future requirements of the market. Agile methods are applied by WithSecure to ensure that its decisions regarding future technologies are aligned with the best information and expectations of the market developments.
Exposure to cyber security incidents threatens the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of WithSecure products and services, and their mitigation is considered as high priority in all parts of the company. WithSecure builds cyber resilience by continuously improving its capability to identify, protect, detect, and respond to relevant threats. Continuous efforts are taken to protect sensitive data of the company and its customers.
WithSecure protects its technologies and innovations through copyrights, patents, trademarks, and technology partnerships. While WithSecure uses all available protection mechanisms, the businesses are
exposed to risks relating intellectual property claims, particularly in the US markets.
Cost inflation in the countries where WithSecure operates increases the risk for negative development of the cost structure. This is monitored very closely, and inflation will also most likely require mitigation actions to retain workforce in the company. Increasing interest rates could limit the possibilities of external funding.
As a company still improving its profitability, WithSecure must focus on accurate cash planning and prompt collections to ensure liquidity of all group companies and to avoid needs of short-term financing.
Increasing volume of operations outside the Euro zone in different currencies exposes WithSecure to an increased risk related to currency fluctuations. To mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on future cash flows, the group can use forward contracts.
On 14 April 2025, WithSecure published its intention to divest the Malaysian entity and business operations to LS Systems Group. The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of 2025. The responsibilities of the Malaysia site will be transitioned to WithSecure's European locations. The transaction underscores WithSecure's commitment to the European way in cyber security, and ensures consolidation of all WithSecure's operations in Europe.
During the year 2025, WithSecure Corporation will publish financial information as follows:
WithSecure observes at least a three-week (21 days) silent period prior to publication of financial reports, during which it refrains from engaging in discussions with capital market representatives or the media regarding WithSecure's financial position or the factors affecting it

During the period Group has had share-based incentive plans covering management and the key personnel of the Group and a share savings plan available to all employees .The programs have been established as part of incentive and retention system within WithSecure. The programs offer the participants a possibility to receive WithSecure shares as an incentive reward if the financial targets set for the earning period have been achieved. No reward can be given to a participating employee whose employment has terminated before the end of the lock-up period. WithSecure's current plans consist of Performance Share Plans, Restricted Share Plans, a Performance Matching Share Plan and an Employee Share Savings Plan.
In December 2024, Board of Directors of WithSecure Corporation has decided, based on the PSP scheme, on a new Performance Share Plan for the years 2025– 2027. The new plan, PSP 2025–2027, will commence in 2025 and the performance criterion for this plan will be composed of two target components: WithSecure Elements Company segment's annual revenue growth as percentage and adjusted EBITDA as percentage of revenue. WithSecure is targeting to reach a sum of the components that exceeds 30 for full year 2027.
If the performance target set for PSP 2025–2027 is fully achieved, the aggregate maximum number of share rewards to be paid in the first half of 2028 is approximately 5,000,000 shares. This number of shares represents a gross earning, from which the applicable payroll tax is withheld, and the remaining net value is paid in shares to the key employees participating in the plan.
The plan is offered to the management and selected key employees of WithSecure, based on a decision of the Board of Directors. If the individual's employment with WithSecure terminates before the payment date of the share reward, the individual is not, as a main rule, entitled to any reward based on the plan. In December 2024, The Board of Directors of WithSecure Corporation has decided, based on the RSP scheme, on a new Restricted Share Plan for the years 2025–2027.
The aggregate maximum number of shares which may become payable based on RSP 2025–2027 in the first half of 2028 is 250,000 shares. The amount of shares represents gross earnings, from which the applicable payroll tax is withheld, and the remaining net value is paid to the participants in shares. If the individual's employment with WithSecure terminates before the payment date of the share reward, the individual is not, as a main rule, entitled to any reward based on the plan.
