During the first quarter, typically our slowest in terms of volume, we experienced strong growth across all geographies and user groups. The demand for our solutions remains high, proving the solidity of our underlying business. Our operating profit grew at the same pace as revenue, despite significant planned investments and non-recurring costs. The recent uncertainties due to US tariffs and policy changes had no material impact on the business, but the situation is monitored closely.
Sales growth in local currencies was 34% compared to the same period last year. This exceptionally strong growth is almost on par with the result in Q4 2024, which is traditionally our strongest quarter. Our symbol-based touch solutions, most often used by children and young people with autism, continue to grow at a fast pace.
The operating profit grew by 32% and the operating margin was 7.3% (7.6%). The lower profitability in the quarter is mainly driven by planned investments in scalability related to restructuring within R&D, new internal systems and a negative currency effect. The consolidation of our product development organization to a central development hub in Stockholm is progressing according to plan, rendering non-recurring costs of 8 MSEK in the quarter. Investment in improved internal systems resulted in a non-recurring cost of 14 MSEK during the quarter. In total, these non-recurring costs lower the EBIT by 22 MSEK or close to 4 percentage points.
We continue to invest in our sales capacity to ensure continued growth and to further enhance the scalability of our business. In the last 12-month period the sales teams have grown by almost 100 new colleagues worldwide. On April 8, we announced the acquisition of the French reselling partner Cenomy and we look forward to welcoming some 20 new colleagues later this year.
Approximately 80% of Dynavox Group's revenue is billed and paid in USD, which means our revenue fluctuates with the SEK/USD exchange rate. However, since the majority of our cost of goods sold (COGS) and approximately 60-70% of our operating expenses (OPEX) are also in USD, this creates a natural hedge against currency fluctuations. Consequently, while our top-line revenue may fluctuate, the impact on EBIT-margin is not significant. In the first quarter, the net negative impact on EBIT was approximately 8 MSEK.
Our overall exposure to import tariffs to the US is limited since the tariffs are based on the cost of the material imported to the US. For our products, the material costs represent some 20% of the retail value. However, more importantly, our products are generally classified as medical certified assistive devices, exempting them from tariffs under the Nairobi Protocol.
As of today, there are no announced changes to policies related to the reimbursement of our products in our largest individual market, the US. However, we are monitoring the situation closely.
Despite the uncertainties in the world surrounding us, I continue to be optimistic about the future. Only a small percentage of people who need assistive communication solutions are aware of, or have access to, the solutions offered by us and our industry peers. We are firmly committed to improving the lives of many more individuals, which also represents significant potential for our long-term growth. This potential combined with our strong underlying business and our fantastic team of almost 1,000 colleagues gives me confidence about the future and our ability as a company to exploit the opportunities and handle the challenges that lie ahead of us.

Group revenue increased 36% to SEK 581 million (428) compared to the same quarter 2024. The currency adjusted growth was 34%, organic growth contributed 33%, acquisitions 1% and currency fluctuations had 2% positive impact on revenue. Similar to previous quarters, growth was robust in almost all regions, albeit somewhat stronger in the USA, and the autism customer group continues to grow the fastest on a global basis.
Consolidated gross profit amounted to SEK 395 million (289), corresponding to a gross margin of 68% (68).
Operating profit totaled SEK 43 million (32) and the operating margin was 7.3% (7.6).
Operating expenses grew organically by 28%. The increase was affected by factors such as continued investments in staff increases in mainly the sales and marketing organization, as well as new agreements on salaries and benefits that came into force on April 1, 2024. In the quarter, we have continued to invest in systems and tools to build scalability of approximately SEK 14 million, these contributed to the cost increase by approximately SEK 11 million. Operating expenses were affected by non-recurring costs of approximately SEK 8 million, mainly related to restructuring costs. Acquisition-related non-recurring costs were in line with the previous year. The cost of the long-term incentive programs increased by SEK 3 million, out of this SEK 5 million relates to a nonrecurring cost of historic long-term incentive costs. The period also includes increase of exchanges losses relating to transaction effects of SEK 10 million vs prior year.
Costs for research and development after capitalizations and amortizations increased by SEK 20 million compared to the same quarter last year. This includes non-recurring costs related to restructuring the research & development organization of SEK 8 million.
Financial items amounted to SEK -10 million (-17) and mainly consisted of interest on external loans. Profit before tax was SEK 33 million (16).
Tax for the quarter amounted to SEK -9 million (-5), of which SEK 14 million (2) related to deferred tax. The higher tax during the quarter was due to higher profits in the US with a higher tax rate.
Profits for the period were SEK 24 million (11). Basic earnings per share were SEK 0.23 (0.10) and SEK 0.22 (0.10) after dilution.
Higher exchange rates, primarily USD/SEK, had a positive impact on revenue of 7 SEK million, it had a negative impact on operating profit of SEK 2 million compared with the corresponding quarter last year
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 93 million (67). The change in working capital was SEK -24 million (-18), mainly due to the negative impact of higher levels of inventory.

Cash flow for the period was SEK 18 million (-40). At the end of the quarter, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of SEK 143 million (127). Consolidated net debt totaled SEK 710 million (603), including SEK 162 million (98) in IFRS 16 finance leases.

The total utilized part of the credit facility and term loan was SEK 694 million at the end of the period.

The Group categorizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value into a fair value hierarchy based on the information used to value each asset or liability. For financial instruments in level 3, information that is material to the fair value of the asset or liability is not observable and the Group's own assessments are applied.
Liabilities relating to contingent consideration for March 31, 2025, relate in their entirety to the acquisition of Link Assistive Pty Ltd and Link Assistive New Zealand Ltd and are classified under level 3. Liabilities relating to contingent consideration for March 31, 2024, relate in their entirety to the acquisition of Rehadapt Engineering and are classified under level 3.
The company presents certain financial measures in the interim report that are not defined under IFRS (so-called alternative performance measures according to ESMA guidelines). Management believes that this information helps investors to analyze the Group's performance and financial position. Investors should consider these disclosures as a complement rather than a substitute for financial reporting under IFRS.
The tables below show how the alternative performance measures that are not directly reconcilable to the financial statements are calculated.
