Thoughts from our CEO

Mikael Nylund

In the first quarter, as customer demand remained weak, Gofore's revenue decreased by 5.7%, amounting to 46.4 million euros. At the same time, our profitability declined, and the adjusted EBITA was 8.0% due to poor capacity utilisation and individual delivery challenges in customer projects.

At the beginning of 2025, the high level of free capacity caused by discontinuities in projects could not be effectively utilised during the first quarter. This reflects customers' ongoing caution in committing to new investments and the continuation of cost-saving programs. Hesitation has been exacerbated by strong uncertainty related to international trade and the threat of a trade war.

The uncertain outlook also led to the announcement in April of Gofore's first-ever change negotiations aimed at reducing headcount. Our goal is to ensure that Gofore remains the best possible partner for our customers in digital transformation for the long term by reducing a maximum of 95 employees. Unfortunately, the prolonged period of weaker demand that began in 2023 has meant a trend of increasing free capacity, known as "bench" consultants. This, in turn, indicates that our available expertise no longer sufficiently meets customer needs, but rather reflects a partially chronic bench capacity.

As customer needs change, we are required to take more drastic measures to ensure an effective match between the expertise available and market needs.

The quarter's results were also burdened by challenges in certain customer projects. This is quite unusual for us. According to our estimate, we lost about one million euros in net sales during the quarter due to delivery challenges. In addition to the challenges, such fixed-price and ceiling-price projects also provide Gofore with valuable learning opportunities and a chance to develop.

Gofore remains a growth company. We are not facing the new market situation in the IT sector solely through savings and efficiency but are actively seeking new growth. We are implementing our strategy through our customer-oriented organization that has been operational since the beginning of the year. We are investing in growing areas of our broad offering, such as data, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, as well as architecture, ERP, and technology management services. We will continue to invest in our services and concepts so that we can continue to provide exceptional value to our customers.

Although reducing personnel would be a difficult decision, we believe that only through success can we ensure the best possible employee experience in the long term. Without a financially sustainable foundation, it would not be possible to continue investing in the expertise and wellbeing of our experts. For us, these factors form the basis of the most attractive employer brand, and therefore we see the planned actions as essential for attracting the best employees.

The journey towards improvement is also supported by valuable wins in the customer field. We will continue our excellent collaboration with Traficom for the next five years. We were also chosen as a partner for HSY and, in April, with a very broad offering, as a partner for the Employment Fund for their IT development needs. A great example of IT development supporting ESG progress is Valio's Esko tool. We discuss these customers in this review.

There were no significant changes in the German-speaking European market during the review period. Throughout 2024, the savings implemented by customers continue to burden our operations, although new projects have partially compensated for the shortfall. However, Friedrich Merz's likely new government's program, with its revitalizing measures, creates hope and confidence for the future. We are pleased to see that the upcoming government's program includes significant measures to promote the digitalization of public administration. It is noteworthy that, at the federal level in Germany, a digitalization ministry is being established for the first time.

The year 2025 began under challenging circumstances. It is still clear that digital technology continues to evolve. Our intention is to grow alongside technological development, in all market situations.

Outlook

Market outlook

The mid and long term outlook of digital transformation are strong. Leverage from economic recovery is expected to become available gradually.

Market uncertainty continues

The weak economic cycle affected customer investments throughout 2024. We do not predict a rapid change for the better, but rather a gradual, long-term recovery in customer demand. Higher economic growth forecasts for 2025 anticipate a revival in demand, but especially the present uncertainty of international trade and the trade war affects them.

General macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty maintains customer caution. However, technological development continues despite this. In particular, the development of artificial intelligence, as well as other digital technologies, requires ongoing investment from customer organizations. We estimate that organizations begin to accumulate investment debt, which is expected to start being resolved.

Overcapacity in the public sector

We estimate public sector to continue digital investments in based on the government program's commitments and upcoming growth initiatives. There will particularly be investments in the overall security of significant additional investments. We expect the public sector market to continue moderate growth in 2025.

Price competition has continued in 2025. According to our estimates, this is still an exceptional phenomenon that reflects overcapacity in the sector.

As the demand from other customer groups improves, the supply and demand in the public sector will balance out.

Revival of exports in the private sector

We expect the decline in interest rates to begin impacting digital investments in the private sector during 2025. However, this depends on the outlook of each customer industry, which varies. The globally weaker economic situation and the threat of a trade war have affected the outlook and order intake of export companies. A recovery in exports and a turnaround in order intake towards growth would accelerate investments.

In retail and services, we estimate that customer development initiatives will continue. We anticipate new opportunities arising through the consolidation of IT providers.

New trust in the future in DACH from the new government

In the DACH area and Germany in specific all eyes are on the new government and the 500 billion investment package it launched. If successful, this would have an uplifting and confidence-inspiring affect in both Germany and more widely in Europe.

The economic cycle has continued challenging in the DACH area and especially Germany, which for Gofore has translated to customer project reductions and cancellations due to customer savings.

Forecasts show that the economic direction is changing, albeit slowly. Based on its programme positive than the previous.

Talent market clearly eased - for now

The weak situation in the IT sector in 2024 also reflects on the talent market. The weakened demand for talent has resulted in lower turnover. The pressure on wage increases has eased.

We estimate that the availability of talent will remain good in 2025. We still see that any potential revival in the sector will quickly reflect in the labor market with higher turnover and competition for talent. The need for expertise in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and other new technologies reinforces this.

In the labor market, employee-centric companies whose business is stable continue to perform best.

M&A market partly dependent on economic development

The M&A market has shown signs of picking up especially in the DACH area. We however estimate this to be strongly dependent on the direction of economic development.

Short-term risks and uncertainty factors in the operating environment

Geopolitics and economic trends

Geopolitical risks have increased globally. The direct impact of conflicts, sanctions, and restrictions on Gofore remains small. For example, the potential effects of the threat of a trade war on customers focused on exports and economic trends may be negative.

Economic uncertainty has continued into 2025 and still affects the entire IT industry at the beginning of the year. Our outlook is based on economic forecasts indicating that the economies of Finland and Germany will grow faster than the previous year. A possible deterioration in the economic situation would negatively affect Gofore's customers' ability to invest in digital development, especially in the private sector.

Public sector customer market

The public sector withstands macroeconomic changes better than the private sector. Weakening of public finances and the new Finnish government's adjusting fiscal policy may impact IT investments. However, the content of the Finnish government program and investment targets reduce this uncertainty. With the competitive situation in the public sector remaining tight, the risk of price erosion has increased.

A significant portion of public sector contracts is made under larger framework agreements. Framework agreements are fixed in quantity or otherwise time-limited, after which they are re-tendered. There are no significant contracts known to Gofore that will be re-tendered in the next 12 months.

Private sector customer market

Companies are more vulnerable than the public sector regarding political situations or country-specific macroeconomic risks. If the outlook weakens, the risk of reduced corporate investments increases. However, in the medium and long term, digitalization remains a highpriority development agenda for companies, seen as a competitive advantage, and Gofore's offerings provide high added value to customers.

Project risks

The share of fixed and ceiling price projects is predicted to grow, driven by tightening customer budgets.

Gofore typically makes efforts to direct procurement to a target-priced model and/or a project start where a joint scope can be created. The rising share of fixed, target and ceiling priced projects creates a higher risk in the project portfolio.

DACH region business

Gofore's business in the DACH region is still in its early stages. The integration of its operations into a single functional entity was completed in the reporting period. In particular, the weak development of the German economy has led to customer savings. If savings continue, there is a risk of business contraction, which could potentially have negative effects on personnel and key individuals.

Cybersecurity

Cyber threats have increased recently due to geopolitical uncertainty and the growing activity of state actors. At Gofore, information security is based on an ISO 27001 certified information security management system (in Germany, the TISAX information security standard) and strong cybersecurity expertise, which we also use to serve our customers. Gofore actively operates in national networks to anticipate threats directed at itself and its customers.

Talent market

As the market pull grows, tough competition returns to the talent market. attractiveness as an employer is on a strong level. The change negotiations targeting headcount reductions may weaken the attractiveness and cause unwanted attrition.

Q2/2025 Performance drivers

No impact from gradual recovery of customer demand is expected yet in Q2. Positive effects of the change negotiations will materialise post Q2.

Growth Drivers

2025

  • We expect demand to grow moderately in certain segments and services.
  • Change negotiations and establishing the new organisation is seen as strengthening sales and customer work in the longer term but affecting sales unfavorably during Q2.
  • Reported capacity is expected to decline thanks to planned headcount reductions decreasing free capacity.

Profitability Drivers

  • Utilisation rate is estimated to continue to be lower than in the comparison period.
  • Price competition is thought to continue tight, narrowing average margins.
  • Potential overruns of a few customer projects may affect profitability.
  • Cost impacts of the change negotiations puts a strain on Q2 result but has no effect on adjusted EBITA.

Other Factors

• One less working day in the period than the comparison period.

Comparison period is the corresponding quarter of the previous year unless otherwise stated in the context.

Disclosure and guidance

As of February 2022, Gofore has not provided forecasts about the revenue or profit for the financial year.

Gofore continuously develops the content of its monthly business reviews and interim reports, in an effort to further -time monitoring of financial developments.
