Key Developments

  • Net Cash flow from operating activities in Q2 negative DKK 18.6m – H1 negative DKK 44.3m
  • Net working capital end of Q2 DKK 95.2m

  • Free cash flow in Q2 negative DKK 21.2m up DKK 23.4m compared to Q2'24.
  • Cash and cash equivalents of DKK 133.4m end of Q2 25.

NWC Improvement Initiatives

  • During 2025, we have planned and implemented several improvement initiatives aimed at reducing our Net Working Capital in the second half of 2025 and through 2026.
  • The key initiatives to improve the Napatech NWC focus on:
    • Reducing inventory levels and optimizing the planning of future product production
    • Negotiating better payment terms with key suppliers & current customers
    • Optimizing payment terms and sourcing model for new high-volume agreements
  • In the coming years, we anticipate that most of our new business will stem from large-volume orders rather than production for stock. This shift will lead to an even more optimized logistics setup with a significantly lower need for working capital.

2025 Expectations

• Napatech's financial expectations for 2025 remain unchanged:

Guidance
Revenue DKK 150-190m
Gross margin 69-71%
Staff expenses & Other external costs DKK 170-180m
Transferred to capitalized development costs DKK 8-12m

• With performance in the middle of the guided ranges in 2025, EBITDA will be negative 46mDKK

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK: KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

  • increasing demand among mass-market customers
  • High gross margins enabled by the strong software component in Napatech's products, which also promote customer stickiness
  • Opex reduced through rightsizing the organization while still enabling growth starting q325
  • Additionally, net working capital is expected to drastically improve due to new model taking orders before incurring expenses
