Good start to 2025: Yubico grows amid market caution

Solid growth in a challenging environment

The first quarter 2025 was a quarter with solid growth and profitability for Yubico. Net sales totaled SEK 623 million, representing a yearover-year growth of 25%. Despite some pressure on the gross margin from the weakening USD, EBIT reached SEK 92.6 million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 15%. Our EBIT for the quarter included costs associated with our all-company meeting held in Phoenix, Arizona — an important strategic investment in our team to align around Yubico's vision, reinforce our long-term strategic priorities, and foster even deeper engagement across the organization.

The first quarter was also characterized by a market with cautious decision-making. For Yubico, this was reflected in that bookings decreased by approximately 10% compared to the same quarter last year to SEK 524 million. The demand for Yubico as the leading provider of phishing-resistant authentication technology is still strong. This softening reflects delayed purchasing decisions given the many uncertainties that companies are facing right now, a trend we anticipate will continue into the second quarter, at least. Interest in strong, phishing-resistant authentication remains robust; it is a matter of "when," not "if," customers move forward with their orders.

Expanding footprint in critical infrastructure

We continue to see strong momentum in the telecom, financial, and public sectors — strategic industries where protecting critical infrastructure is important. The City of Munich, a German municipality, recently announced its city-wide deployment of YubiKeys for employee authentication, further reinforcing our position as a trusted partner in safeguarding critical infrastructure systems.

In Canada, a major public sector organization selected Yubico to meet its tight timeline, large-scale deployment, and high-security requirements — a clear example of one of our key strengths: the ability to scale quickly while maintaining the highest levels of security and reliability.

In the telecom sector, we are pleased to share that we have expanded our footprint in the US, now partnering with three of the four largest telecommunications providers in the region. This continued trust from industry leaders highlights Yubico's position as a leading provider of strong, phishing-resistant authentication solutions.

Navigating global uncertainty with operational resilience

Importantly, while tariffs and shifting global trade dynamics are affecting many industries, Yubico's business model has proven resilient. Thanks to local manufacturing in Sweden and the United States, and the fact that value creation largely occurs postmanufacturing through key programming, our exposure to tariffs is limited. However, macroeconomic uncertainty and tariff effects are likely to continue influencing buying behavior in the near term. This may result in a pacing of demand during the year that differs from earlier expectations, particularly in certain regions or customer segments.

With that said, Yubico remains well-positioned to navigate these conditions through strategic planning and agile operations. We have the operational flexibility to adjust supply chains as needed — for instance, increasing shipments from Europe to parts outside of the US to avoid unnecessary costs. This adaptability ensures that we can continue serving customers globally with minimal disruption.

Changes in management

On April 15th we were pleased to announce that Snejana Koleva has been appointed as Yubico's new Chief Financial Officer. She will join the company no later than October 13, 2025. To ensure a smooth and effective transition, Snejana and our current CFO, Camilla Öberg, will work alongside each other during a transition period.

AGM later today

Today, we will hold our AGM, and I look forward to meeting those of you that will be there and answering any questions you might have. As we look ahead, our long-term growth drivers remain intact — including rising demand for phishing-resistant authentication and continued expansion of our customer base. While we remain focused on executing on our strategy, we are also mindful of evolving market dynamics that may affect the pace of growth across the year.

Net sales

January-March

Net sales increased by 24.9 percent to SEK 623.1 (498.9) million in the first quarter, corresponding to an increase of 22.4 percent in local currencies. Subscription sales increased by 40.7 percent in the same period and amounted to SEK 79.6 (56.5) million representing 12.8 percent (11.3) of net sales. Q1 of the previous year was negatively impacted by customer churn, which has since been more than offset by new contracts secured during 2024. In the first quarter, we saw several notable expansions of subscription agreements, particularly within the manufacturing, media, and public sectors.

Net sales continue to be dominated by the Americas, with 71.8 percent (72.6) of net sales originating in the region, 22.9 percent (20.3) in EMEA, and 5.4 percent (7.1) in APJ. EMEA and the Americas continue to deliver strong growth and performance, driven by sustained demand from the high-tech, public, and telecom sectors. In the Americas, growth in the Canadian public sector remains particularly strong.

Gross profit

January-March

Gross profit increased by 21.5 percent to SEK 488.7 (402.4) million, corresponding to a gross margin of 78.4 percent (80.7). Changes in currency exchange rates negatively impacted the gross margin, causing a decline.

EBIT January-March

EBIT amounted to SEK 92.6 (85.1) million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 14.9 percent (17.0). Yubico continues to grow and the number of employees at the end of the first quarter amounted to 499 (438), an increase of 13.9 percent from the same period last year. Personnel costs were higher during the quarter, reflecting both the increase in headcount and revised salary levels implemented as of January 1, as well as the additional LTIP-program during 2024. In accordance with IFRS, total costs recognized for the LTIP programs amounted to SEK 20.6 million (3.7).

Research and development remained stable in relation to net sales and amounted to SEK 93.1 (74.3) million in the quarter. Selling and marketing expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales this quarter compared to the same period last year and totaled SEK 197.8 (187.2) million. Administrative expenses amounted to SEK 113.1 (69.1), including costs for the all-company conference, SEK 25.6 million, which is an important investment in our personnel and organization. This cost is part of employee costs, note 3. Unrealized currency effects are affecting profit with the net amount SEK 7.7 (13.7) million. These are reported as Other income and expenses in the statement of profit or loss.

Net profit/loss and earnings per share January-March

The net profit amounted to SEK 51.3 (73.8) million. Net financial items of SEK -24.5 (9.1) million was affected by unrealized currency effects of SEK -28.3 million related to USD cash balance in the parent company. The effective tax was 25.2 (21.6) percent. Earnings per share after dilution amounted to SEK 0.58 (0.84).

Bookings

January-March

Bookings decreased by -9.5 percent in the quarter, to SEK 523.8 (578.9) million, corresponding to a decrease of -10.7 percent in local currencies. The decrease primarily reflects extended customer decision cycles amid broader macroeconomic uncertainty.

Subscription bookings amounted to SEK 58.3 (104.1) million, corresponding to 11.1 percent (18.0) of bookings, the largest part being new customers and add-on contracts while SEK 8.9 million are contract renewals. We continue to see growth and strong interest from critical infrastructure sectors, including the public sector, telecom as well as from the high-tech sector. In addition, we are seeing continued orders from the European defence industry.

Annual recurring revenue, ARR

January-March

ARR increased by 24.7 percent compared to last year and amounted to SEK 345.7 (277.1) million at the end of the period. The increase in the quarter, SEK 21.6 million, is attributed to several new contracts across customer segments such as finance, telecom, media, hightech, logistics, manufacturing and public, as well as expanding usage of YubiKeys in current engagements.

Cash flow and financial position

January-March

Cash flow from operating activities during the quarter amounted to SEK 44.1 (33.0) million. Net change in working capital amounted to SEK -1.2 (-32.2) million, due to an increase in inventory compensated for by customer pre-payment of subscription contracts. Inventory levels in the quarter amounted to 29.0 percent of LTM net sales, a decrease from 29.7 percent at the end of 2024.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -3.9 (-9.5) million, including investments in machinery and equipment of SEK -2.6 million.

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -5.7 (-8.0) million, whereof SEK -5.7 million is amortization of lease liabilities. Total interest-bearing liabilities at the end of the period amounting to SEK 46.5 (66.3) million, of which total lease liabilities amounted to SEK 46.5 (30.5) million.

For subscription, the security solution is consumed by the customer through continuous access to the security service including the access to Yubico's intellectual property through the license and use of the hardware key over the contract term period. Accordingly, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period.

Quarterly figures

This section includes certain alternative performance measures (APM) which are not defined under IFRS. These are used by Yubico as Yubico believes that these APMs provide valuable information for investors and other stakeholders to evaluate the financial performance of Yubico. As not all companies calculate financial measures in the same way, they are not always comparable with similar measures used by other companies. These measures should therefore not be regarded as a substitute for measures defined under IFRS.

by distinguishing the effects of events that are not representative of normal operations.
Adjusted EBIT margin Operating profit/loss (EBIT) in relation to net sales adjusted for items affecting
comparability.
The measure is a complement to the Adjusted EBIT (Operating profit/loss), which only states the
change in absolute figures (when different periods are compared). Adjusted EBIT margin is used to
provide an understanding of the group's overall profitability, adjusted for items affecting
comparability.
EBIT margin Operating profit/loss (EBIT) in relation to net sales. The measure is a complement to the EBIT (Operating profit/loss), which only states the change in

Yubico at a glance

Yubico is a global cybersecurity company that between 2020 and 2024 has grown net sales by a compounded annual growth rate ("CAGR") of 40 percent. Through its core product and invention, the YubiKey, Yubico solves the number one cybersecurity issue – use of stolen credentials. These cause 8 out of 10 cybersecurity intrusions, often through so called phishing attacks.

The YubiKey is a multi-factor authentication (MFA) hardware key ensuring that only authorized users have access to sensitive accounts and systems. The authentication solution encompasses an extensive portfolio of proprietary technologies.

To date, YubiKeys have been sold and deployed in more than 160 countries worldwide. Yubico's customers include technology companies, financial services, manufacturing, retail, governments, and

the wider public sector, with customers such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft and the State of Washington using YubiKeys to protect staff, end users and sensitive information from cyberattacks.

YubiKeys have historically only been sold against a one-time payment, also known as on a perpetual basis, which gives the customer ownership of the product throughout its lifetime. Since 2020, Yubico also offers a subscription-based model, Yubikey as a Service, in which Yubico assumes a larger overall responsibility and retains ownership of the hardware.
